New York, NY (October 8, 2010): Archie Comics--home to Sonic the Hedgehog comics--is about to become the base of operations for a comic series featuring Capcom's heroic video game legend, Mega Man!

The Mega Man® franchise is hotter than ever and in the spring of 2011, Archie Comics will take his heroic adventures to new heights with a brand new monthly comic!

With the aid of his mighty Mega Buster blaster arm and a killer creative team including renowned artist Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante and infamous Archie action/adventure writer Ian Flynn, Mega Man is equipped to blast his way back into the comic book world in his own monthly action. Arriving Spring 2011, the new Mega Man™ comic from Archie Comics promises to build a faithful legacy while exploring a vast universe of heroes, villains, and robots.

"Since 1987, the enormously successful Mega Man franchise has conquered media from video games to television to manga. Archie Comics is ready to carry on this tradition of success, holding true to the spirit of the old school with a fresh eye on Mega Man's strong potential in the world of American comics," promised Archie Comics editor of Sonic and now the Mega Man franchise, Paul Kaminski.

The Mega Man comic book series will follow the original Rock/Mega Man in his battles against the maniacal Dr. Wily. Mega Man's jam-packed, fast-paced adventures are told from the perspective of Rock (a.k.a. Mega Man) the young boy with a peaceful heart now thrust into a life of conflict.

More info in the link...kinda :p


Well... are you getting a spaz attack yet? Or are you going to save it for spring? All I'm gonna say is... no constant puns, don't screw up Tengu Man's character and we're good :ugeek:

Puns are what make Americanized Mega-Man so great, though!

Also, I love Archie.  I've been reading their Sonic the Hedgehog series since I was a wee lad of 4.

Like Megamix?

Kinda sorta, but except unlike Megamix, it will include everything, plus a little of Archie's touch to keep things interesting.

But that's just speculation on my part

By everything, you mean everything in the Classic series?

Or ranging from Classic, to the underrated Legends?

^This was what I ment. They may even go as far as including the spin offs. I'd like to see if they will do the anticipated Classic/X crossover that Dreamwave was unable to finish on their side, it just seems highly possible :p

I have a feeling they'll do the spinoffs.  The Sonic Comic handled the spinoffs as well.

Probably as short fillers or something. Never really saw a point in making separate comics unless it was for an individual character.

Of course, what would be REALLY ideal is if they went in the most canon order possible.

I would stop reading at X5 and rejoin at Zero.

God I hate X6-Command Mission.

I liked the atmosphere of X6.  I haven't played X7 but I know its awful - hence why it's been installed on my PC with an English Patch for half a year.  Didn't play Command Mission either.

Neato!  I was an avid fan of the Sonic comic back in the day.

Some new details have been revealed.

The comic will follow canon order, from 1-10, including Megaman and Bass.  When the Robot Masters are defeated, they don't die; we get to see what happens after defeat.  Also, Rock must use, presumably, actual in game strategies to defeat the masters.

Sadly, MegaMan Soccer will not be getting a Comic.  :C

I suppose that means no Megaman V too?

No, the Gameboy games aren't getting adaptions I think.

Pfft. Then that's not Canon order. Megaman V is very much canon. As all the games. but I can understand ignoring the first 4, but V? come on.

oh man i am exited for this! glad the robot masters don't actually get destroyed, they're the best part of the megaman games and you know it! i hope they'll use the opportunity to develop the robot masters personalities after defeat!

I could see if I can dig up some more information.  Not to sound cliche but I've got a friend who works for Archie - he does the coloring.

Wow, that's awesome, Namo! I wish I had a friend who works for a large company.

I'm liking the way Wily looks.

This will be the fist comic book series that I buy each issue from the start to the finish.

Archie has been doing a great job with the Sonic comics, so I'm pretty sure they will do good here.

I like this. This seems very interesting. Can't wait to see if I can buy it.
