This comic is a collection of five short stories, and the sixth is a collection of covers, art, and variants. It was an ok read, some stories I liked more than others. The main problem I encountered while reading was that the chat bubbles were super clear while the images behind them are not as clear and looked faded/washed out which made it harder to enjoy.

The first story was fine, I enjoyed the plot between Ryu and Chun-li.

The second story I didn't enjoy as much. I didn't find it interesting, and I found it somewhat boring.

The third story was my favorite from this collection. The story follows Blanca and teases about his origins. He helps a lost kid in the woods, and then a fight ensues, and he figures out that the fight he was having was with the kid's mom because she and her team were tearing down trees in his jungle. Apart from what happens to the kid and her parents, it didn't have a clear ending.

The fourth story is about Chun-li. It was ok. It features Cammy and Bison, and the plot follows that Bison is alive and it regrouping his funds after stealing a lot of money from his old bases, and Chun-li goes to investigate.

The fifth story is about Cammy and features Juri, Seth/Sethani, and Viper. This one was just ok.

After that the remaining pages was art. There were 40+ pages of cover art, while the actual stories were pretty much only 10 pages. It was mainly filler. The artwork was nice but I would have preferred to have more of story line or artwork to go over the Omega story because it's not clear whether there is a story to go with the art.

Seems to be more of a promotion for Street Fighter merch than a real story. There are far better graphic novels and Manga out there.

I grew up on the Street Fighters era. Playing that on the Playstation with my father and sisters. Reading this comic was fun because it made me nostalgic seeing some of the characters that I had forgotten about. But nice animations, nice backgrounds stories (since I only knew them from the game). I look forward to reading more.

Street Fighter #100 features gorgeous artwork and an exciting storyline that brings all the characters together. Each tale is packed with action and adventure, from school rivalries to Blanka's silent origin story protecting his jungle. Even if you're not a Street Fighter fan, these stories are engaging and worth checking out.

As an old Street Fighter video game player and a Ryu fan (he is on the cover, come on), I wanted to like this more than I did.
It started off alright, with Ryu as the MC in the first story. The story itself was okay, and characters were good.
I was engaged when it came to the no-text Blanka story.
Well-illustrated.
Then…Chun Li cannot be reduced to her sexualised body as a character, but I did not expect to see the female characters objectified. As if they lacked character, And I lost interest in it.
Hope others will like it.

I have been a long time fan of the street fighter games but never really delved into the comics/manga so after giving this a try I think going forward I will be sticking to the games. While I understand the point of this volume is to give short stories for different characters ultimately I found only one interesting and that was Blanka's story and surprisingly it had no words and no fan service shots.

I understand fully that Street Fighter has a large male fan base and that might be why I tend to not gravite to the written works because they are written with them in mind but I really could care less about any of the stories with the girls, it was just fan service shot after fan service shot but I guess I should have expected that when the entire book is written by men. I fully recognize that I am not the intended audience with this particular written work for Street Fighter.

The positives of this is that each story is drawn in a different style which gives you a nice variety of art to look at and I loved that they were all in color. The gallery of covers at the end was also a nice touch though ultimately felt unnecessary and used more as page filler to make a "full" book.

I had a lot of fun reading this graphic novel. Each tale was done in a different art style, and showed new sides of some fan favorite characters. Some of these tales had the character make a rash decision or two, but in the end they learned an important lesson. Once this graphic novel came to a close, it was clear these adventures are far from over.

This is an interesting story, based on the street fighter stories. The stories have action and adventure and alot of fighting. Definitely an interesting read even if you are not a street fighter fan.
