Darkstalkers is a comic book series created by UDON Comics. It is based on the Darkstalkers video game franchise by Capcom. Darkstalkers was originally published through Devil's Due Publishing, consisting of six issues in 2004-2005 that were later collected in a TPB collection that omitted the backup stories presented at the end of each issue, and included a special Morrigan background story previously only seen in Capcom Summer Special (2004) comic book. In 2010, UDON revived the series in a three-issue miniseries entitled Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors. A compilation of both UDON series, Darkstalkers: The Ultimate Edition, was released in 2012. An eight-issue comic book crossover with UDON's Street Fighter comic book series titled Street Fighter vs. Darkstalkers was published in nine monthly issues (including #0) in 2017–2018. Further editions of both series sharing a continuity were explored in one-shots Street Fighter: Akuma vs. Hell (July 2019), and Street Fighter: Menat (March 2019) which included Darkstalkers elements. The Darkstalkers comics have since continued in a series of one-shots with Darkstalkers: Morrigan (released March 2022), Darkstalkers: Felicia (April 2023), Darkstalkers: Hsien-Ko (October 2023), and Darkstalkers: Jedah (April 2024).
