Udon will release a special hardcover edition of the book at Comic-Con International next month, and a standard softcover version will be available through retailers.

The book serves as a timeline spanning between the 1993 Punisher arcade game to the most recent Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, featuring the work of creators including Akiman, Bengus, Shinkiro, Joe Madureira, Adi Granov, Joe Ng, Long Vo, Chamba, Adam Warren and Takeshi Miyazawa.

"This book means a lot to Udon," said publisher and editor-in-chief Erik Ko. "It was back ten years ago that Joe Quesada at Marvel Comics gave Udon our first freelance job, and kickstarted our creative services department.

"Then just a few years later, we became our own publisher, working closely with Capcom to publish original Street Fighter comics. Being able to publish a book containing amazing work from both Marvel and Capcom is like a big 'thank you' from us to the folks who helped make us what we are today. Thank you Marvel, thank you Capcom."

Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is now available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PS Vita.
