Extra! Extra! Read all about it! No sooner than we post an interview with Ian Flynn discussing the prospects of post-Mega Man 2 events and original stories than we get a brand new cover and solicitation for the first issue following the return of Dr. Wily. And does this ever appear to break from the […]

Recently, we had the opportunity to interview Ian Flynn, the writer for the Mega Man comic book series, as well as Sonic the Hedgehog and other titles sold under the Archie banner. Knowing that there were some questions which went unanswered the last time we attempted this, we pulled some of those which were still […]

Well folks, are you ready for some 2012 festivities? Let’s kick it off, it’s time for a new contest! Our latest offering is the already super-rare D-Arts Rockman X “Comic Ver.” figure! This figure was sold in limited numbers at the Tamashii Nations 2011 event int Tokyo, but now it can only be picked up […]

Mega Man 8 released in North America with no more than the usual amount of fanfare. A special edition package came with a small booklet of the series history, and there was also a chance to buy a Mega Man figurine in honor of the Blue Bomber’s 10th anniversary (even though it was still only […]

With all of the more recent releases in the Kotobukiya and Bandai D-Arts lines, we thought […]

Over the years, we have seen a pretty decent number of representations of Mega Man in plastic form, be they action figures or model kits, from every single series to bear the name “Mega Man.” All said, though there are still many characters we would like to see who have not gotten the plastic treatment, […]

Ah, soundtracks. A good idea in theory, to gather up all of the music heard within a movie, television show, or other production, and release it in a format which people can listen to at their leisure, all without the hassle of having to watch said production to hear certain songs, and typically without background […]

We don’t cover eBay auctions very often in this space, but here’s something you don’t see every day. LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

For those unfamiliar, Free Comic Book Day is an event held each year, usually near the beginning of May, and typically on the same weekend the first big comic book-based Summer movie comes out and attracts the usual attention to the medium. On this day, many comic shops will (out of their own pocket) provide […]

Here comes a one-two punch from Archie Comics, as Comics Continuum has revealed the covers and solicitations for both Mega Man #11 and the second trade paperback for your viewing pleasure. Mega Man #11, the third part of the Mega Man 2-based storyline “The Return of Dr. Wily,” sports a cover by artist Ben Bates […]

As some of you may already know, though Keiji Inafune is often referred to as the “Father of Mega Man,” he was actually not even there when work began on the original game. One member of the staff who preceded him was the game designer who simply prefers to go by “AK.” AK played a […]
