That's not good news. It's bad news actually.
It's better than nothing...
Return 1 is a six-page side story at the back of Issue 2 (the one with the New New Hero Team on the cover)
Art-wise, it's lower quality compared to the main comic, and the HK artists didn't draw Terry's cheekbones very well.
Here be spoilers!
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
We start off with a manhua-ized direct retelling of the MOTW intro; Geese falling off the tower, rejecting Terry's hand, laughing, kid Rock and Terry eating hotdogs, kid Rock lifting weights and looking stunned, Terry handing over his cap etc.
Terry: (thinking) These are the ghosts of eleven years ago.
FAST FWARD to sunset on the train station - Terry's 2nd round stage in MOTW
*dialogue cut - too many traditional Chinese characters for me to read quickly*
Rock: Terry, I never thought we'd meet in the semi-finals...
Terry: Hey! You really showed tenacity! You'll easily uncover the mysteries shrouding your mother like this!
Rock: (With this at stake) Terry, you already know I ain't gonna hold back!
SECRET ART!
FIERCE WIND PUNCH! (REPPUKEN!)
SECRET ART!
POWER WAVE!
And the world was full of fighting...
End of Spoiler

Thank you Treepull Aitch for the info, but there's already a question that crosses my mind:
Does the MOTW manga finally tell us at least the year in which the tournament is held, because judging from the beginning of the spoiler, it seemed to me that it's held in the year 2009, because Terry Bogard mentioned

"These are the ghosts of 11 years ago"
End of Spoiler
(Cool, my first spoiler; not mine, but still cool), and since we all know that Geese Howard "died" in '98, well I hope at least this question has finally been answered.See you later.

Geese died in 96 actually
Actually, the game where we see Terry Bogard finally emerge victorious against Geese Howard came out at the end of '95 (RBFF) and it's canon, but in the timeline, it was set in '98.
So according to the new manga, MOTW is set in the year 2009, eleven years after that final battle, unless anyone counts the year the game was released as the year of the battle.I hope that's now cleared not just for myself, but for everyone else as well.See you later.

Any comment about the KOF 2003 comic?
In brief:
The art style is more anime-like than previous years, especially around the facial propotions part.
Story, well, HK comics are not known for deep story. I'll be buying each issue, though, as part of a guilty pleasure. And the art can be fantastic and times
And snkneoshingo2k3 - remember that while the HK comics draw upon the KOF core story, they are in no way canon, and infomation given in them sometimes contradicts the official SNK biographies
I see, so the whole 11 year thing was incorrect, and so it is ten years and the game, even though it came out at the end of '95, is set not in '98, but in '96, thus MOTW is set in 2006.Thank you very much guys for clearing that out for me.
BTW, this means that there is the concrete possibility that we may see Rock Howard and/or the two sons of Kim Kaphwan (although I prefer the kids, particularly Kim Jae Hoon) in The King Of Fighters.We shall see.Later.

Oh, btw, they actually didnt change AOF's timeline. Notice how Ryo is actually still aged in the 3d FF. KOF is separate. No one ages

Well, they did originally, but I think they stopped aging after KOF '97.
Ryo's also the proper age in BURIKI-ONE and Garou Densetsu WILD AMBITION. IIRC, the KOF characters aged by one year from KOF'94 to KOF'95, and they've been stuck at their KOF'95 ages ever since. I don't think it's an issue of the characters becoming less youthfully attractive as they age (heck, check out Kyo's mom in "The King of Fighters Kyo" -- rrrowr), but rather SNK realizing that it's easier to sprite-recycle or sprite-update each year compared to the task of completely overhauling a substantial portion of the cast with each new game to show the passage of time. I don't expect to see the whole cast revamped every year for the sake of continuing to age the characters, but it would've been nice if each story arc ('94-'97, '99-'01, '03-'0?) had it's own set of sprites -- i.e., revamp the cast in '99 and again in '03. It'd keep the games slightly less dated looking, too, which IMO has been a bit of a turn-off for those who don't count themselves among the diehard SNK fanbase.

AOF, FF and KOF are in the same universe now. Regardless of continuity issues or mistakes. They changed AOFīs timeline just so it would fit with KOF.
RB is 98. The end.
A good example of denial.

SS,LB,AOF,FF are in the same universe. Ppl acutally age in that universe
KOF is separate. No one ages
LOL! This is funny and really interesting. So, KOF is like Capcom's Vs. series in a sense(outside of regular continuity). I still wonder why they never tossed in Samurai Spirits characters in KOF. Well, I guess they never wanted the series to be that whacky, but they could of made some characters fit our world like they did with Athena.
So, do they explain how Southtown got messed up in MOTW? I always assumed it was messed up and became Southtown Secondus due to the attack from the Zero Canon in the KOF series.
