Once upon a time, Mega Man fans– particularly those outside of Japan– had it pretty rough. For a time, if a fan of the Blue Bomber wanted to reenact their favorite adventures through the childhood pastime of pitting plastic action figures against one-another, they were pretty much out of luck (save for the particularly creative […]

Depending on the franchise, you can find many different kinds of collectors. While the most common is perhaps the type of fan who will collect anything they can get their hands on with the property’s logo on it, there are others who pick and choose what they want to share their living space with.

Mega Man: The Robot Museum is a free, downloadable album from OverClocked ReMix artist, Joshua Morse. Unlike the majority of albums released […]

Archie’s Mega Man isn’t available yet, but things are already beginning to heat up! A pair of covers has been revealed today, showing the talents of Patrick Spaziante and Ben Bates as Mega Man‘s battle against the Dr. Light‘s stolen Robot Masters continues. Following from the cover of issue #2, Spaziante shows Mega Man preparing […]

Okay, to get one thing out of the way: I personally like Cut Man, and he’s one of my favorite Robot Masters, if only for the fact that he was the first one I ever beat in a Mega Man game. His depiction in Mega Man Powered Up and the Mega Man Megamix manga have […]
