Spaz doing Mega Man X.  It is not physically possible for it to be anything but awesome.

(and somehow the Command Mission title theme chimes in my head whenever I see that preview image)

Looking for passionate love?

Funny enough, unless they decide to do it like the games did and simply jump from Classic to X, this might have the potential to be a first-ever 'official'.. Direct continuation kinda thing, not sure how to describe it, that fans have been pondering for years.

Now all that's left is for Udon to localize the X mangas, and I can die happy.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Since I read that Archie is starting on X, I looked its site and I woild like to know what series is that eventually leads to X. From what I saw was MegaMan Arc and MegaMan Graphic Novel.

If it's like the classic series, it'll just go through the games.

Which is cool! XD

I actually meant the title screen and not the opening video.  But I could honestly see either-or working.

Hope people are still reading this.  The last few issues have been knocking it out of the park, and I'm enjoying the start of the Archie take on X.

Just finished issue 35
[spoiler]lots of emotional stuff from Breakman...[/spoiler]

I guess all I can really say is it isn't exactly what I'd expect out of a $4.4M game

It doesn't even have mouth animations

This comic keeps finding new and exciting ways to destroy its readers.

Breakman, seek help.

Yeah the preview images showed him and the Judge, and the blog entry on Capcom-Unity showing them even alluded to that fact.

It's not really a "series" (yet). I'd say it's pretty good; the same kind of thought that Ian puts into the main book is present here, if that makes any sense.

I've enjoyed their classic series quite a bit, I'll have to track this down someday.

Just got Dawn of X Part 3, which is actually less Classic and mostly X this time around.  Cool stuff.  Oh, and if you thought the slide removal was the last of their poking fun at ridiculous classic series mechanics, think again.

I got as far as the Sonic cross over and I enjoyed that alot, the writing was snappy and it didn't take it's self too seriously; very much interested in continuing. Would you say the writing has stayed at the same level as the earlier stuff?

Been pretty consistent across the length of the comic, I'd say.  I've been a fond of Ian Flynn's writing ever since the 170's or so of the Sonic The Hedgehog comics (though I'm not happy with Sonic's post-crossover-reboot, that's largely believed to be more due to Penders and Sega than to Flynn).

I'm trying to remember the last time I read the sonic comics, I think it was back when sonic was kidnapped and turned into mecha sonic. Glad the writing has remained consistent, I'll need to check it out soon once I have some disposable money.

I'm enjoying the X stuff, but I'd say the Classic stories are where the book really shines.

Been pretty consistent across the length of the comic, I'd say.  I've been a fond of Ian Flynn's writing ever since the 170's or so of the Sonic The Hedgehog comics (though I'm not happy with Sonic's post-crossover-reboot, that's largely believed to be more due to Penders and Sega than to Flynn).

Mainly Penders and Penders, with a side of Archie.  The deal with SEGA way back when the book was starting was that SEGA would own e v e r y t h i n g.  All creators were meant to sign contracts stating they gave the rights to their creations to SEGA.  Either Archie just plain forgot to get him to sign, or (more likely) his contract was lost years ago. A former Archie staffer let slip in court documents that apparently they lost a lot of contracts from their warehouse in the 90s.  The settlement with Archie was apparently them refusing to acknowledge he owns anything, but agreeing not to sue him for use of the characters he says he came up with. They couldn't say he owned anything without angering SEGA, who Ken was trying to sue. And he'd still like to, but after the settlement was agreed on it turned out that he'd botched the lawsuit against SEGA and his chance to sue over Sonic Chronicles expired. So now he's saying he'd be happy licensing if Archie agreed to a bunch of looney conditions, but Archie can't license because they refuse to admit he owns anything, and besides SEGA wouldn't want money going to a man actively looking for ways to sue them.

So in the end the only winners in this mess were the lawyers.

That new Dawn of X was pretty fun.

it's really the little things.

Like Sigma doing his pre-battle cape toss and pose, or the Wily Walker recognizing Zero as a Wily robot



I'm not entirely on board with their decision to use the Zero vs Sigma fight as the explanation for Sigma's scars. that was always a very stupid idea. Half his face should be purple.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Wasn't Sigma's scars from X pulling off the Shining Finger on him in Day of Sigma?  XD

Yeah, it's pretty solid. And the explanation for why the Wily Walker is a threat works well. Obviously it was never going to be easy since the final Wily mechs tended to have tons of armor with little weak spots, but throwing in the threat of chemical weapons being released makes it more plausible that the whole Mav-Hunter squad would be having trouble.

Does Vile seem a little too chatty to anyone else though?
