•Archie Comics is adding another videogame-based comic to its line with the debut of Mega Man in 2011. Mega Man, based on Capcom’s videogame hit, joins the ultra-popular Sonic the Hedgehog as a part of Archie’s monthly line.
Written by Ian Flynn and illustrated by Patrick “Spaz” Spaziante, Mega Man is set to blast his way back into the comic book world in his own monthly action in the spring.
“Since 1987, the enormously successful Mega Man franchise has conquered media from video games to television to manga. Archie Comics is ready to carry on this tradition of success, holding true to the spirit of the old school with a fresh eye on Mega Man’s strong potential in the world of American comics,” Sonic and Mega Man editor Paul Kaminski said.
Mega Man will follow the original Rock/Mega Man in his battles against the maniacal Dr. Wily. Mega Man’s jam-packed, fast-paced adventures are told from the perspective of Rock (a.k.a. Mega Man) the young boy with a peaceful heart now thrust into a life of conflict.
“Readers can expect non-stop action, as well as an exploration of the themes of family, choice and loyalty that make the Mega Man franchise a property that connects on a very personal level,” Kaminski said. “From there, we hope to fully explore not only that classic world, but the other spin-offs including Mega Man X, Mega Man Zero, Mega Man Legends, and more!”
