Archie Goes Hollywood with ‘After the Credits’ Month
When Archie Comics released their solicitation for the upcoming Mega Man #36, they included a mysterious line noting that we should “be sure to pick up both regular and variant editions to read both SHOCKING ‘post-credits’ alternate endings.” But what does that mean? Now, thanks to a new article at Comics Alliance, we have the details.

Villain Variant Cover and Teaser Info for Mega Man #37
We previously heard a little about the upcoming 37th issue of Archie’s Mega Man comic, along with an image of a cover depicting both Mega Man and X in action together. Naturally, this led to some speculation as to the nature of the upcoming crossover.

Weakness Wisdom – A Look into Mega Man 3’s Weakness Chain
When it comes to the logic of weakness chains, one game that seemed to baffle even the most hardcore Mega Man fans was Mega Man 3.

Sadly, there’s no such thing as a Rockman Gigamix anime. However, the man and artist himself, Hitoshi Ariga gives us a glimpse into what one could possibly look like.
Editorial: Why the Classic/X Crossover is a Good Idea
For many fans, the Mega Man Classic/Mega Man X crossover now made official by Archie’s solicitations may seem like the blending of oil and water; the simple Classic is happy and bright, the darker X is melancholic and meditative. Any attempt to combine them would meddle with series canon and trivialize the mystery of the infamous Classic-X series link.

It’s not a surprise if a hit video game proves popular enough to spawn a motion picture deal, but before the game is even made? That would be some uncharted territory indeed.

We’re probably talking pre-White City level early here, for those who can remember that from Mega Man X (and if you don’t… maybe we can talk about it sometime).
