Mega Man: Defender of freedom, crusader for justice, fighter for everlasting peace, and… malware? That is the accusation leveled at the Blue Bomber by one contributor at the website Overthinking It. There, it is put forth that perhaps not everything is as we’ve been led to believe in the games. Sure, the instruction booklet accuses […]

Just a quick reminder for everyone: after you’ve gone to see The Avengers this weekend, you’ll want to locate your nearest local comic book shop and drop in for Free Comic Book Day this Saturday, May 5th.
