I still want Powered Up to be considered canon :<. Time Man and Oil Man may sound like silly Robot Masters, but isn't that the point of MM1? Basic RMs with basic thematic premises?
ReplyDeleteAlso, more human characters? I like.
Just as long as they don't end up looking like Agent Creep from MM3's concept art.
Roslyn Krantz? Oh boy original characters no one cares about.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait until we end up with a slime green evil Mega Man called Nega Man.
Repeating themselves already? Oh, boy.
ReplyDeleteBad news everyone! Issue 3 of the comic sold horribly only 4,845 copies were sold compared to Issue 1's 12,586.

Having said that for Archie those are good numbers so don't worry too much over it! Just figured I'd post it so people know where it stands.
(@Anonymous #1) *Gasp* Not an... ORIGINAL CHARACTER! OH, THE HORROR. HOW DARE THEY.
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that I'm waiting for the inevitable "someone builds a time machine and sends Mega Man to the year 21XX" storyline?
ReplyDeleteCorrection: I WANT IT TO BE INEVITABLE.
lol theres something wrong with Oil Man his head is somewhat in Cut Man's arm... lol
ReplyDeleteWow I can't believe the sales of issue 3.
ReplyDeleteTaking into account recent mega man events, I feel that if this keeps up, Archie might cancel the comic.
Nice artwork cover, and Oil Man's censorship was okay.
ReplyDelete@ first anonymous
ReplyDeletetoo late. he's called Quint, and he was in the GB mega man games. here he is:

he IS mega man, captured by wily from the future, and reprogramed to be evil.
sorry man. unless you were being sarcastic, then nice one.
Ahaha, Cutman's squishing Oilman.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, it's a nice cover.

ReplyDeleteIt was a condescending jab at the Sonic comic which introduced a slime green evil Sonic called Scourge after Metal Sonic and Shadow were already around.

ReplyDeleteTechnicaly he was around before them both, but I know what you mean, lol

ReplyDelete*Nitpick* Scourge was around as Evil Sonic before Metal Sonic and Shadow were introduced. */Nitpick*

You think that's bad? Wait until Mega Man gets a love interest, a pop singer name Lady Naga (Who is secretly Snake Man's sister).
It's Archie, don't think they won't do it...
@ProfessorMegaMan: But it is Ian Flynn. Ian Flynn. I have full trust in him.
ReplyDelete@W.Waltz: Please don't say that. I've been really, REALLY enjoying this comic so far, and it'd be heartbreaking to see it get canceled. I mean, if Sonic can stay alive in comic form for as long as he can, I think Mega Man deserves to, as well. I reeeaaaaally hope this comic doesn't get canceled...
