Mega Man comic

So, I just learned that there's a Mega Man comic book series coming out soon; May 4th, to be exact. It was in a copy of Nintendo Power that had an interview with the writer and artist, so this is probably not exactly new, but I haven't seen any threads on it.

It's gonna be an adaptation of the original series's games (the plan is apparently to adapt Mega Man 1-10, in addition to some of the more obscure games, like the Game Boy games, and possibly Mega Man And Bass). The article I read included shots of some pages, and it looks very good. In addition to that, the writer is a fairly big fan of the series, and did his homework on the series.

It's gonna be written by Ian Flynn and drawn by Patrick Spaziante, and published through Archie Comics.

I'm calling Megaman fans starting to squabble with Sonic fans over who has the better comic.

But the writer also worked on the Sonic comic, so isn't that an argument that can't really go anywhere?

yep

They'll probably argue regardless.

They should just buy the rights to Bob And George and the hire the guy to keep writing it out to Mega Man 10.

I picked up both comics that are out so far- first shows Dr. Light at a press conference revealing the first six Robot Masters and the upgrade from Rock to Mega Man.

Second issue is vs. Bomb Man, Guts Man (who is Rated M for Manly. He doesn't need your "logic"! His hugeness is supreme!), and Cut Man. Mega Man has a bit of angst about killing robots, but when Roll points out that if he doesn't lots of people will die, he snaps out of it. Dr. Light also reminds him that robots can be rebuilt.

Hm. I wonder how that will play out when we get to Mega Man 9.

Hm. Hurricane of Puns you say? So kinda like the Ruby Spears cartoon.

Only more faithful to the actual games, I hope.

Looks like Udon has picked up the license.

Oooh, it's a reprint and colorized version of the manga. Neat!
