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 […]

Just a quick note for those of you who are getting the first issue of Mega Man from Archie… The original solicitation for the book stated that the comic was to arrive at comic shops today, May 4th. And following that, a number of stories on this site (including last week’s “Countdown” features) followed that […]

Click to enlarge. Some of you may have seen the above image passed around. It’s amusing, as well as interesting, in that it essentially takes what we all know of Dr. Thomas Light, and puts a unique and entertaining spin on it. Over at Destructoid, Tony Ponce has gone in the exact opposite direction, taking […]

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 […]

It begins! OverClocked ReMix’s second annual Robot Master Remix Battle is upon us. Just like last year, artists from around the internet will choose one robot master theme to rule them all and attempt to fight their way through fellow remixers for that number one spot. How does it work? After choosing a stage theme […]

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 […]

The time is nearly upon us: soon, the very first issue of Archie’s new Mega Man comic book will be making its way to subscribers, with the book reaching comic book shops on May 4th and other newsstands during the week of May 17th. To help get everyone into the mood for more Mega Man […]
