Heads-up! The third issue of Mega Man will be blasting its way into comic shops and newsstands soon, with the former being hit next week, on July 6th. Naturally, subscriber orders are a little more erratic, but you should be seeing them any time now. IGN has the scoop with the first preview pages from […]

Comics Alliance has posted a new article, which gives an interesting look at Archie’s new Mega Man comic book, which is already on its way to releasing its third issue. And, if the solicitations are any indication, it is already poised to surpass Dreamwave‘s short-lived attempt at chronicling the schoolboy adventures of Rocky Light. So […]

When we saw the solicitation for Archie’s Mega Man #5, we learned a little more of what we could expect from the comic outside the confines of the games’ stories. Today, we have not one, but two new covers to share with you. Well, sort of. The first is the cover for issue #6, which […]

The first issue of Archie’s new Mega Man comic has only just come out, and yet we now have a preview of what’s to come after the inaugural story arc “Let the Games Begin!” Two new covers have been revealed, apparently continuing the “Villain Variant” theme introduced with Mega Man #2.

Our final stop on our trip back through Mega Man‘s adventures into the North American mainstream comes not from the United States, but Canada, and a small comic book company once known as Dreamwave. Though Archie’s first issue of Mega Man will be available in comic shops next week, this will not be the first […]

Following the posting of the preview pages for Mega Man #1 earlier, MMN reader Lamarfll pointed out that Comic Book Resources has an interesting animated trailer for the book, which you can see below, or find here. As promotion for a comic book, this is kind of neat– to say nothing of unexpected. No telling […]

While our countdown doesn’t end until tonight and the first issue doesn’t come out until next week, we have the preview pages for Archie’s Mega Man comic right here, right now. It feels like it has taken forever to get here, since the announcement at the New York Comic-Con in October of last year. It […]

To date, Mega Man‘s biggest excursion into the mainstream (mind, the video game industry wasn’t quite the same then as it is today) came to be in 1994, thanks to the animation company Ruby-Spears Productions*.   Together with Capcom Productions, they were able to create a highly-successful animated series which ran for three seasons**, and even […]
