Mega Man Archie Comics

[Protoman Blues]

I now wait for the trades. Single issues have become too expensive and it's really hurting the industry.

[Quickman]

They're still more fun to get in the mail than junk from Geico.  Or from Comcast.  Or from AARP.  I keep getting crap from AARP.

[Reaperoid]

Hmm. I really don't mind if this makes the TP a little larger, but I'm not going to be getting Sonic singles just to understand what's going on.

[Rin]

Woah, 12 part story? So, an entire year of crossover? o_0


I'm liking the way they draw Bass.

If this is how Forte is gonna look in the comic (crossover aside) I'M [tornado fang]ing EXCITED.

[Blackhook]

That image...oozes ego

[The Great Gonzo]

The gals take over in #19; Splashwoman makes her debut, and whatever happens to Quakewoman next issue, she'll survive, or at least be rebuilt. She's actually smiling, too--does that mean her emotions get restored?

[Hypershell]

It's cover art.  The finer details are often inconsistent, especially with Archie.  But we'll see.

[Karasai♪]

am i the only one that's kinda.... unexcited about the crossover?

i think twelve parts is a bit too much

[N-Mario]

Anyone notice the "F" in the middle of Bass/Forte's chest crystal? Also, it seems to look bulkier than I remember. But I guess that's just the way they wanted to design him for the comic.

[Reaperoid]

Yeah, I thought so too, but that version of Forte is only seen on Rockman&Forte's SFC artwork, mainly in the artpiece on the back cover if you were to look, and not on the front cover by Ariga. Also worth mentioning is that it was actually changed back to the less-pronounced R7 or R8-styled gem for the GBA version's artwork.

I like how it's not a great big B. Talk about homages, eh?

[Quickman]

Ooooooh yeah.

[IQ-0]

So we know of Megaman & Sonic, Knuckles & Protoman/Blues, possible Shadow & Bass.

Instead of Tails & Roll, we'll probably have Tails X Roll 

[The Great Gonzo]

Instead of Tails & Roll, we'll probably have Tails X Roll 

I wouldn't mind that pairing if it came up, but after Sonic/Elise, I dunno if we'll ever see another inter-species romance of that sort. (Well, Roll's a robot, and she and Tails are both sentient...Hm.)

[IQ-0]

They had Tails x Cosmo (animal x plant) and Tails x Fiona (robot version) so interspecies is nothing new for Tails.

[VixyNyan]

Tails X Roll

Yes please~

[The Great Gonzo]

They had Tails x Cosmo (animal x plant) and Tails x Fiona (robot version) so interspecies is nothing new for Tails.

Yeah, but no human(oid)s were involved. (Well, Cosmo was sorta humanoid...)


Destructoid preview for #16 is up.

[Quickman]

Sorry to disappoint, but Ian Flynn said that there won't be any "human-animal romance."

But, then again... we can't trust everything that we see online, can we?

[Align]

Who said anything about humans?

[Quickman]

Good point.  There may not be any human/animal romance, but we are sure to see lots of robot/animal loooooooooove.

[Treleus]

Tails is a tinkerer ...

We also know he enjoys chucking bombs, so make of that what you will.



Tails X Bombman

[Quickman]

I, for one, want to see a race between Quickman and Sonic.

[Flame]

Same. That would be awesome.

[Treleus]

I'm curious what kind of encounter there'll be between E-102 Gamma (or Omega?) and the cast of Mega Man.

[Rin]

I'm curious what kind of encounter there'll be between E-102 Gamma (or Omega?) and the cast of Mega Man.

Gamma is dead.
Omega is part of GUN along with Shadow and Rouge (And Hope).
Omega has a fun personality in Archieverse.
I would guess it would be an interesting meeting.

Also, since we are talking about Omega and romance...
Omega seems to have developed some kind of crush on Blaze in Archieverse.
Because "she burns things".

[The Great Gonzo]

So I just finished #16.

[spoiler]Surprise! Both the cover and solicitation were a mass of lies! Megaman and Quakewoman do put themselves at incredible risk in taking care of that last bomb, but neither are badly damaged by the explosion.

Dr. Lalinde promises to restore Quakewoman's emotions once everything's been sorted out, realizing how selfish she was for removing them in the first place. Still dunno how Quakewoman will feel about being temporarily dead inside.

Also, Elecman was the one who removed Xander of one of his eyes. And when Xander was living on a farm, the dog got caught in the threshing machHOLY [tornado fang]


edit: oh, and Breakman's Archie design is influenced by Ariga-Breakman.[/spoiler]
