Mega Man Megamix Vol.1 manga in stores!

[MattMoylan]

Hey gang! Matt here from UDON comics.

Just joined the Rockman PM board to let you all know that Mega Man Megamix Vol.1 by Hitoshi Ariga has just arrived today in comic shops everywhere! If you don't have a comic shop near you, the book will be available in regular book stores and online retailers like amazon.com any day now.

You can check out a preview of the book here if you're unfamiliar with it: http://www.udonentertainment.com/blog/?p=1574

Eager to hear what you all this of the book, now that it's finally available in English!

Yay, Its Matt. I hope you do stick around the RPM board.

also, im lookin' forward to getting it, thats for sure.

[Strider Xhaiden]

I'll need to pick this up at some point. I think.

[Protoman Blues]

You mean this, Matt?

When I go to my comic book store this weekend they BETTER have this, being in another country is no excuse when they get US comics/manga anyways >_>

[OBJECTION MAN]

I preordered both volumes. There was no way I was letting this one slip by. Sadly the shipping date is May 14 from Amazon... Also waiting for Udon's Art of Capcom which I have on back order from Amazon. I really like the work you guys do, especially the Street Fighter comic series.

[The Great Gonzo]

I really, really hope that they're not out by the time we go to B&N (hopefully this weekend).

[Protoman Blues]

Well I just finished it, and I must say it was an absolute pleasure to read.  I can't wait for Volume 2 next month.  I'm also looking forward to the ZX Manga coming as well.

Amazon should be shipping their copies any time now (definitely not May...should be within days). As for UDON's Art of Capcom, it's currently out of stock, but we are reprinting it for the summer, probably in June.

What about the Zero OCW? Amazon had to cancel my order a few weeks ago because none were left =/

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah, Sato and I had trouble finding the Zero OCW in stores not too long ago. 

[Flame]

B&N doesnt have it, and Borders only has it available online. Why Cant stores just carry them? I cant buy things online without asking my folks to buy it for me, and they give me that look.

This one is also going back to print, but sooner than Art of Capcom. Zero OCW should be back in stores by May.

Borders did order copies as well, but big chain stores are much slower at putting out new product than Amazon or comic shops. I don;'t know if everystore will get some copies, but check back in a  week or two.

[Flame]

Safe to say I WILL get it relatively soon one way or another, but God, I hate waiting. Suspense is killing me

[Protoman Blues]

I recommend Comic Shops as the best places to get the OCW books.  That's where I picked up all of mine.

[The Great Gonzo]

Something just occurred to me--how does UDON's translation holdup against Rockman Tanjou's?Apart from the English names, are there any other notable differences?

[Protoman Blues]

Sadly I don't remember them all that well, so it's hard for me to compare.

I can't thank you enough for this drawing, Matt.  Both the Thundercats & Mummies Alive fan in me enjoyed this very much.

I have OCW, Its Megamix I want. My local Comic book store doesnt have it on their website, (but then again, their website kinda sucks.) I might take a trip to see if they have it in store.

I loved Mummies Alive!
I agree with PB.

[Protoman Blues]

My comic store had it.  You can see me holding it up above!

Bought and Bought

[Sapphire Knight]

Oooh... Shiny. Also, is it just me, or does this incarnation of Quickman have a tiny head?

[spoiler][/spoiler]

[Flame]

He doesnt have a tiny head, he just has a huge body.

[Strider Xhaiden]

He doesnt have a tiny head, he just has a huge body.

Surely that'd make him less quick?

[KudosForce]

You can chalk that up as "the artist's own interpretation".

At any rate, I will make sure to snag vol. 1 (and possibly 2) at some point, as Mega Man manga never got licensed here before. I'm hoping that Gigamix will be brought, too!

By the way, Matt, I must say that I can't thank you and your company enough, for bringing MMOCW over here! Being a dedicated Classic series fan since the old days, it makes me proud to finally look at all the great Mega Man artwork in a book!

Though I hope that Capcom will do a R30 book at some point, as MMOCW's missing some American box art, the majority of the Nintendo Power illustrations (including those for the MM6 robot master contest) and all the MM9 art.
