First look–TEKKEN video game returns in new comic book series

TEKKEN is a fighting video arcade game franchise from Bandai Namco that premiered in 1994–one of the first fighting games to use 3D animation. The game has gone through seven main games over the years, the second being one of the best selling fighting games of all time. TEKKEN has seen several spinoff games, as well as movie adaptations, both in animated and live action, and comic book adaptations.

TEKKEN is returning in an all-new comic book series next week, featuring a story by Cavan Scott (Doctor Who, Vikings), and a interior artwork by Andie Tong.

Fans of the arcade game (also available in various PlayStation formats) will recognize characters from the game including Jin, Heihachi Mishima, Yoshimitsu, Nina Williams and Paul Phoenix. Issue #1 is a great series opener. The artwork is vibrant and the story full of good humor and fun action.
