Earlier the other day, Hitoshi Ariga updated his blog with the sentiment that in times of great crisis, such as Japan faced last week, everybody is capable of being a hero. Ariga himself was moved with a letter, which he later posted, from a child who gave him thanks, as reading his Rockman Gigamix comic […]

Although we haven’t gotten an official notice from UDON yet, we have a pretty good indication they have picked up Rockman Gigamix, Hitoshi Ariga’s most recent Rockman manga. UDON’s distributor, Diamond Book Distributors, has Mega Man Gigamix listed among their June 2011 releases, under the ISBN 978-1-926778-23-5. Sounds pretty definitive if you ask me, but […]

Well, this is nothing short of a bit embarrassing on my part. As you may recall, we told you back in August that to celebrate the release of Mega Man Megamix to a North American audience, UDON was bringing its creator, Hitoshi Ariga, over for FanExpo Canada.

Yet more goodies from UDON Entertainment.

Enjoy! Edit: I realize the page thumbnail is getting cut off […]

Late last month, Hitoshi Ariga released the third and final volume of his new Rockman Gigamix manga series, and faithful fan Rock Miyabi has written up a nice review for us, as well as provide a detailed recap on the forum.

However, Tanomi is now reporting that the manga is due out on the 27th, just two weeks from now. They’ve also posted the volume’s cover, which again indicates a space-themed storyline, as expected, but doesn’t […]

Recently, we brought you news of Mega Man Megamix creator Hitoshi Ariga making an appearance at this month’s FanExpo Canada. Today, our friends at UDON have passed along the official word regarding the event, as well as another taking place in Toronto for those who cannot make it to the convention. First, in addition to […]

Been a while since we presented any Mega Man mysteries for you, but we have a neat new one today! I’ll admit, however, that this is a more open-and-shut case than our previous features of the Capcom Hand and Wily’s Mystery Pipe. But this story is still an interesting one, because it’s about a Robot […]

This news is a little late in coming; honestly, I thought we had already reported it, but nope.* For those interested, fan-favorite Mega Man manga artist Hitoshi Ariga is scheduled to appear at FanExpo Canada, which takes place from August 27th to 29th, courtesy of our friends at UDON Entertainment. In addition to Mega Man […]

The alignment of our real-world 21st century years with the 200X timeline inhabited early on by Rock and company seems to have affected and distorted the chronological placement of the manga adaptations which chronicle his adventures, resulting in mass hysteria. That, or there have simply been some delays in the production process, and people are […]

This weekend in Baltimore, Maryland, from Friday, July 30th to Sunday, August 1st, will be Otakon. And what has become a part of the annual Otakon experience for many a Mega Man/Rockman fan is the gathering of like-minded individuals known affectionately as “OtaRockman.” Each year, a fans tend to converge for cosplay photos and Mega […]
