“Victory won by violence is tantamount to defeat, for it is momentary” -Mohandas K.

“I wish I had never invented that infernal time machine… it’s brought nothing but trouble.” -Dr. Emmett Brown, Back to the Future Part III —————————– Aw, dammit.

The galaxy is at peace…” Dr. Wily’s bid for world domination has been stopped, as the wiry old roboticist has been put in chains and stowed in a dark jail cell to rot. The Robot Masters he hijacked […]

by Erico “One of the biggest roles of science fiction is to prepare people to accept the future without pain and to encourage a flexibility of mind.” —Arthur C.

Issue3Cover by Erico Three down and three to go. At the start of Issue Three, Rock is teleported into Elec Man’s domain without fanfare or applause. There’s work to be done, and the Blue Bomber is all business. Of course, Elec Man isn’t exactly sitting on his laurels; tapping into the controls of his facility, […]

by Erico “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” –The Tao Te Ching by Laozi And so it was that Mega Man set out to defeat six reprogrammed Robot Masters, save the world, and put an end to the schemes of the nefarious mustachioed villain Dr. Wily… But the question was, […]
