What happens when the heroes (and villains) of Marvel vs. Capcom forget what they’re fighting about and settle down to have a good old-fashioned friendly barbeque? Chaos, of course. Pure, utter, unbridled chaos… …and potato salad. Also, be sure to watch to the end for a very special scene. Thanks for the tip, Sinclair! TMMN […]

   With the current uncertainty with where Mega Man will be going these days, there’s a good deal of speculation about an entirely new theme or style. So what if Mega Man got a bit more dark? A bit more “grown up” perhaps. Artist Edgar Gómez, aka Van-der-Dot, takes a stab at that. The Mega […]

Last month, we reported the curious though otherwise unassuming story of Capcom registering a new trademark for “MEGA MAN” back in August. Now it seems that Capcom of Japan is following suit, having just registered the term “ROCKMAN” (in all Roman letters, and not in Japanese characters) among other reported trademarks. There are no details […]

It looks like Capcom is sneaking in one more Mega Man arranged album before the year ends. Amazon now has a listing for “We are ROCK-MEN! 2”, set to come out in Japan on December 19th for ¥2100 (roughly $27 US). Just two days after the 25th anniversary. The previous We are ROCK-MEN! album featured […]

Yeah, we should have been a little more on top of this one. Nonetheless, for those interested, Marvel vs. Capcom Origins is now available for both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade for $14.99/1,200 Microsoft Points, respectively (though not on the PSN in Europe as planned; Capcom Unity promises more info to come once […]

“The secret of success is never believing you are successful.” –Jeffrey Archer —————————————-———- Dr. Wily has fled to lick his wounds, and there has been a period of prolonged peace. Perhaps even six months of it. Half a year of tranquility tends to alter a person’s perceptions when they’ve known nothing but combat, and so […]

  Seems like a hero can’t ever catch a break. The new announcement for Archie’s Mega Man #21 has the Blue Bomber and companions preparing to celebrate the new year, but of course trouble strikes: “Countdown.” It’s almost New Year’s Day, and Mega Man is ready to celebrate in style! Rock, Roll, and Dr. Light […]

For over a year now, we’ve seen a range of talents on Archie’s Mega Man comic book, from Patrick “Spaz” Spaziante to Chad Thomas to Ben Bates and more. But prior to that, while the book was still in its conceptual stages, another artist known well to those familiar with Archie’s other video game-based books, […]

by Erico “Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.” –Sun Tzu, The Art of War ——————————– And why is Dr. Light a boy scout? Because he was prepared. More on that as the plot develops. Now, then. When we left off in Issue 7, Mega Man was staring down the […]

It’s finally out; one of the most expensive Mega Man collector’s items you’ll ever come by: the “Rockcan Sound E Can”. This puppy comes with ten discs for each of the ten main series Mega Man games (and then some). And, it costs a whopping ¥14,700 (roughly $188 US – oh my!). I’m guessing a […]

Given the past couple of years, it should come as no surprise that Archie Comics will once again be hosting a panel dedicated to our two favorite blue boys of video game comics at this year’s New York Comic Con. This time, however, the Two in Blue will also be seeing a little red– Red […]

The folks at Capcom have made a lot of murmurings about plans in the works to celebrate Mega Man‘s 25th anniversary. However, that doesn’t mean you should go expecting some amazing new game (though a number of fans have regardless). When questioned about what’s going on, Capcom’s Christian “Sven” Svensson made this response: […] In […]
