UDON pays tribute to iconic comic books past with these great Street Fighter designs.

Fans of both classic comic books and Street Fighter will want these t-shirts from UDON Collectibles twice as much, as UDON has released these designs that pay tribute to some of the most memorable comic books and characters in history. Many of these have been featured as alternate covers to UDON’s Street Fighter Unlimited series; check out these call-outs to The Dark Knight Returns, She-Hulk, Archie, Secret Wars, and more.

They’ll run you about $29.99 USD each over on UDON Collectibles’ storefront, in both men’s and women’s sizes. The “Ken Masters: Cyborg Fighter” design is limited-edition, so don’t dawdle if cyborg-punching is your bag.

Despite the base game’s age, Dead or Alive 5 Last Round still has a decent-sized competitive following, as evidenced by last weekend’s Dead or Alive 5 Last Round Battle Royal grand final at NEC 17.  This is helped by Team NINJA’s constant injection of downloadable content into the game. That said, this tidal wave of DLC can make the game financially intimidating to get into.

To help these players out, Team NINJA has put up a limited time Dead or Alive 5 Last Round starter pack for the game on PlayStation 4. This package, the third of its kind that they’ve offered, is available on PSN for $92.99, and comes with a good amount of DLC, including downloadable character Naotora Ii, as well as Season Pass 3. The latter includes 101 costumes, including the Tatsunoko themed costumes and originally retailed for $92.99 on its own. Additionally, Season Pass 3 is itself on sale for only $65.09.

Interested players should get on these soon however, as both the starter pack and the discount on Season Pass 3 will only be available for a limited time.
