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. Some new info has emerged to help better paint the picture of what’s to come… along with a pretty slick cover that also looks like it’s been painted, too!

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.

The world is saved, but the cost was steep.

A month and a half ago, we learned that this year’s Archie Comics “flip-book” for Free Comic Book Day, which has previously featured tales from both Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man, would now be skipping 100 years into the future of the latter title and give us a good look at what we can expect from Mega Man X.

Hot on the heels of this reveal, Destructoid has had the opportunity to sit down with Archie Comics writer Ian Flynn and editor Paul Kaminski to discuss their upcoming four-part crossover event, “Dawn of X”, which will kick off in the 37th issue of the ongoing Mega Man comic book series.
