The Publisher of Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, and Mega Man Expands Its Global Reach with Neon Ichiban’s Revolutionary Digital Platform.
UDON Entertainment announced today that select comics from its acclaimed library of internationally celebrated video game properties will be available on Neon Ichiban, the revolutionary digital platform redefining how fans discover, buy, read, and collect digital comics and manga.
Founded by Comixology veterans David Steinberger and Chip Mosher, Neon Ichiban is designed as the definitive digital destination for fans, creators, and publishers. UDON’s partnership brings the fan-favorite franchises in its decades-long history with CAPCOM—including Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, and Mega Man—to a global audience in one seamless, collectible digital platform that celebrates artistry, fandom, and storytelling.
“For over 20 years, UDON has brought our utmost passion and enthusiasm to creating comics based on CAPCOM’s top properties,” said Erik Ko, Chief of UDON Entertainment. “Partnering with Neon Ichiban allows us to continue to showcase the incredible art, storytelling, and deep lore of our comics, expanding their reach to fans everywhere on a platform that shares our same passions.”
Neon Ichiban serves readers and collectors alike with same-day-as-print comics, manga, collections, and graphic novels, including always-available standard editions alongside limited-edition variants and sketch covers. Fans enjoy seamless digital control, choosing to read online or offline and even downloading a local copy when enabled. With participating publishers, digital comics can be transformed into one-of-a-kind collectibles through digital signatures and remarques from top creators—unique pieces that can be cherished or resold with provenance intact. A built-in secondary marketplace allows fans to buy and sell digital comics while ensuring publishers and creators benefit.
“Few publishers capture the pulse of modern fandom like UDON,” said David Steinberger, CEO & Co-Founder of Neon Ichiban. “Their fusion of gaming, manga, and high-impact art defines what makes comics exciting today, and we’re proud to welcome them to Neon Ichiban.”
“UDON Entertainment has built a legacy at the crossroads of gaming, anime, and comics,” continued Chip Mosher, CCO & Co-Founder of Neon Ichiban. “Their creative vision and global fanbase have helped shape modern pop culture, and we’re thrilled to give those stories a new home on Neon Ichiban.”
UDON joins publishers including Dark Horse, DC, DSTLRY, Dynamite, IDW, Kodansha, Mad Cave, Marvel, Oni Press, Rebellion, Titan, and Vault Comics, further cementing Neon Ichiban as the one-stop shop for comics and manga in digital form. UDON will make available same-day-as-print digital releases of upcoming single issues. Additional content may be added in future, pending approvals.
