Marvel Vs. Capcom official artbook

Announced just over a week ago, UDON Entertainment are releasing the official Marvel Vs. Capcom artbook.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is an absolutely brilliant game, one of my favourites, and the first and third games are great to play as well so it's cool to see that they are releasing an artbook for the trilogy. What's even better is the fact that the book isn't just for the MVC games but also every game that Marvel and Capcom have collaborated on which is The Punisher, X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men VS Street Fighter™, Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter™, Marvel VS Capcom, Marvel VS Capcom 2, Marvel VS Capcom 3, and Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3!

Pretty cool right!

Coming in at 192 pages the book has unfortunately only been confirmed for the US so far at $100 (hardcover) and $44.99 (softcover). Hopefully, and I would be surprised if it didn't, it should be confirmed for a European release sooner rather than later.

If it does get a European release then it will definitely be on my list of things that I would like to pick up as this should be an absolutely brilliant book.

Key Features:
- This is an original art book compiled by UDON, with no Japanese counterpart!
- Includes all of the promotional artwork, a complete art archive of all Marvel vs. Capcom character drawings, and rare, never-before-seen artwork, sketches, and bonus material!
- Contains artwork from the Capcom games The Punisher, X-Men: Children of the Atom, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men VS Street Fighter™, Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter™, Marvel VS Capcom, Marvel VS Capcom 2, Marvel VS Capcom 3, and Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3!
- Includes 17 new illustrations exclusive to this book!

  1. That's cool - I enjoy the games quite a bit - but the cost is more than a bit prohibitive for me.

  2. Yeah, unfortunately the cost of books like this can be on the pricey side.

    No idea what the price will be like in the UK.
