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.

It has been a little while since we put the call out to you for your questions for the Archie Comics creative staff behind the new Mega Man comic. The folks there have been working at a feverish pace to get the book going, and as some of you have already seen, the effort appears […]

Delays, delays, delays… always with the delays. We received word from reader Tony Ponce earlier (who, we should add, has a neat article about Dr. Wily, which you can read up on here) that Amazon has apparently sent notices out to its customers that Hitoshi Ariga’s Mega Man Gigamix manga, published by UDON Entertainment, has […]

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 […]

More “man” than ever?

The first time Mega Man stepped out of the world of video games and into mainstream media, he didn’t wind up having to make a very big transition.  He co-starred as a member of the N-Team in Captain N: The Game Master, an animated cartoon which aired from 1989-1991 on NBC (who, incidentally, has aired […]

If you think we’ve been getting Mega Man comics out the wazoo, you still haven’t seen anything yet.
