The Marvel Vs. Capcom series is arguably more popular than ever, thanks to last year’s Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection bringing the earliest entries in the crossover franchise to modern consoles for the first time and introducing a whole new audience to the classic arcade games. But the celebration of the iconic series isn’t over yet–Capcom and Udon Entertainment are teaming up on an expanded hardcover edition of the Marvel VS Capcom: Ultimate Complete Works art book launching December 2. Not only does this new version feature new hardcover binding, but it’s also packed with over 140 pages of new material showing off MvC’s iconic art direction. Two versions of the book will be available, including a $60 standard hardcover edition and a $120 Deluxe Edition with unique cover art and exclusive content. Preorders for both editions are available now.
$60 | Releases December 2
This new 336-page hardcover edition of the Marvel VS Capcom: Ultimate Complete Works art book adds a whopping 140 pages featuring character designs, game covers, promotional art, rare concept sketches, tribute illustrations.
$120 | Releases December 2
The $120 Marvel VS Capcom: Ultimate Complete Works Deluxe Edition includes all of the content from the standard release, as well as newly commissioned cover art and a selection of extras, including six collectible metal character illustration cards featuring Cyclops, Psylocke, Doctor Doom, Ryu, Chun-Li, and M. Bison, and a set of collectible enamel pins designed by Jeffrey ‘Chamba’ Cruz.
Marvel Vs Capcom is just one of the many Capcom franchises lauded for its visuals, so it’s no surprise that there are similar artbooks for the company’s many other series. These include popular franchises like Monster Hunter, niche cult favorites like Rival Schools, and more, all of which feature incredible illustrations, production materials, and developer commentary. These Capcom art books often have limited print runs with long gaps between reprints, so you’ll want to grab these while you’re able to.
