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 […]

Beginning tonight, as the clock turns to April 25th (or at about 1am EST– thank Daylight Savings Time for that, I guess), we will begin gearing up for next week’s release of Archie’s Mega Man comic book with a look back at Mega Man’s many appearances in different North American media. Along the way, there […]

Mushroom Kingdom Fusion is a custom-made fan game (and not a hack, in case you were wondering) we have mentioned previously on the site, one which features a wide variety of playable characters and settings from many various video games. Naturally, Mega Man elements play heavily into it, including some stages and the ability to […]

In just a couple of weeks, the first issue of Mega Man from Archie Comics will begin to reach the mailboxes of subscribers and the shelves of various bookstores and newsstands all across North America. And it’s not too late to get in on the action, as there is still time to subscribe before the […]

It has been nearly a month since we last heard anything from UDON Entertainment about the status of the upcoming Mega Man Tribute book of fan art, which was that they were awaiting the necessary approvals from Capcom. And now, it would seem that they have finally received those approvals. Chosen participants who submitted their […]

Archie’s Mega Man comic book begins in just a few short weeks, but we already have cover art for the first four issues. And just as with the previous three issues, #4 will sport two different covers. Just as with #3, there will be a regular cover which gives an idea of what to expect […]

Okay, everyone, you can relax: Capcom isn’t saddling us with a new, younger version of Mega Man that feels cribbed from Jim Henson’s Muppet Babies (he’s already 10, and they already gave us Powered Up, if the idea needed to be driven home). Rather, one fan has taken one of the greatest video game systems […]
