Capcom has exclusively shared with ComicBook a preview of its upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom comic that will be arriving later this week. Back in September, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics was released digitally across PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. In doing so, this bundle made many of Capcom’s crossover fighting games from yesteryear available on modern platforms for the first time. While the MvC Fighting Collection has since been quite popular with fans, Capcom promised that those who pre-purchased the physical edition of the collection would end up receiving an additional 32-page comic book upon launch. Fans have since wondered what this comic might have in store, and now, we have an early look at what it will entail.
In total, Capcom has unveiled three different panels from the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics comic book. The art features, well, about what you’d expect from a MvC comic with different members of the Marvel and Capcom stables going at one another. Some of the combatants that are highlighted in this artwork include Ryu, Captain America, Dr. Doom, Wolverine, Mega Man, Akuma, and Morrigan. More characters from the Marvel vs. Capcom series will be seen in the full issue, but this provides a better glimpse at the art style and storyline of the book.

If you’re interested in owning this Marvel vs. Capcom comic for yourself, all you have to do is pre-order the physical version of MvC Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics on PS4 or Nintendo Switch before its launch this week on November 22nd.
