Alright, I'm not going to spoil too much at the moment, because I owe Gonzo a copy and she won't see hers for about another week. so I don't want to ruin it. And please, be careful with your replies because of that, too.
GIGAMIX 2 GET!!!
All I'll say now is:
[spoiler]
* Prototype Duo is not quite what you'd expect
* There is no other Rockman 8 connection or characters, but 7's still play a prominent role
* Blues is out of commission for a good chunk of the story
* 5 "chapters", although it's really just one continuous story, unlike Gigamix 1
* Young Wily/Light flashback is indeed merely a 3 page flashback, not a story.
* Approximately 85-90 "throwaway" characters made it in, on 6 pages (132-137). Mostly 4 pages, but some strays in two pages of explosions. They all die by Terra's hand. My Solar Man did not make it.
* Ra Moon, near the end, is summoned by Terra.
* Volume 3 teaser image shows Rock, Blues, and Forte in Gospel Boost armor on the right hand page, Ra Moon of the left. [/spoiler]
WITH LUCK, expect a full image story summary and a complete list of all the "throwaway" character contest winners in a news post tomorrow. But I have a boatload to identify.
