The latest comic from artist/writer Dylan Burnett is a love letter to arcade games and anime. Set in the sprawling, neon-lit metropolis of Infinity City, Arcade Kings is a five-issue miniseries from Skybound/Image Comics. It follows Joe, a mysterious young man, with a head shaped like a dragon fruit, who's an ace at video games and a pretty mean street fighter, too. He's trying to lay low, but it's not long before his dark past starts to catch up with him...
Arcade Kings is a super fun read, vibrantly colored by Walter Baiamonte and Sara Antonellini. It's nostalgic for the era of amazing brawlers like Street Fighter and Soul Calibur, while also feeling fresh and new. If you're a fan of those games, anime, or of books like Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series, then this one is absolutely for you.
