Archie's Mega Man

If you mean Ice Man, it's the other way around.
He was a cameo on a magazine in Von Bleucher's office.

Also, it's funny how Cut Man requested "Kaze Yo Tsutaete" and Roll says "Ooh, I love that one!" when, technically, it's her theme song.

This gives me another chance to praise the comic. They've been introducing new characters in without having them take over since the second arc, and the stories generally flow at a nice pace. I will say that I think the best arc was the one where they had enough time to get through the whole story, and that would be with Time Keeps Slipping (#5-#8).

The current storyline introduces readers to an Archie-made female robot in Quake Woman as the good guys are up against a group of anti-robot extremists while Wily's partaking in Super Adventure Rockman without Rockman in the Amazon.

There are multiple shout-outs to Mega Man's games in these titles. For instance, Light makes a Mega Man X reference in issue #5, and Rush's helmet was introduced way before he made his first true appearance at the end of issue #12. Basically what I'm saying is if you like Mega Man, this is one book that takes a few liberties with the series but does them with care to the characters and the series they're a part of.

The little shout-outs like that or cameos (like Neige) is one of the reasons why I highly enjoy the series.

The story's pacing and original characters are great and don't feel out of place at all. I also like the artwork and the colouring compliments it quite nicely.

I even heard that they might have spin-offs to the other series. Let's hope that it would happen soon

Very interesting they they're doing SARM. I saw most of it on youtube, and this one had a more unorthdox and (somewhat) darker story for the classic series.

The current arc has definitely been an interesting way to introduce some new enemies to the Mega Man universe and all. Had it have been him fighting Dr. Wily all the time, it probably would have gotten old, especially since they're stuck with that four-issue format for the time being.

Honestly, the only tough thing about this arc is knowing what music to throw down for the preview pages. Other than that, I'm having fun going through with it. Issue #14 arrived on Saturday, and it was another decent buildup chapter. Liking how they're going with the Super Adventure Rockman adaptation tying in to some Mega Man 3 stuff here.

I am recently gotten issue 13 and I really like this issue. I like the debate Dr. Light and Dr. Lalinde had. Both sides had interesting and valid points.

I had heard people complain that Tempo/ Quake Woman's design was too plain/boring etc. to them. I personally like it and think that it's suitable, especially since the characters from the Classic series tend to have a simpler design compared to the other sub-series.

#15 has my favorite cover to date minus Elec Man's odd-looking face, and the plot finally stepped things up in this issue. I'm loving how it doesn't always have to be Mega Man vs. Dr. Wily, even though that's what they're building up with Wily's storyline in the Amazon.

_{SPOILER; They handled the explanation of the Mega Man 3 robot masters being developed by both Light and Wily in a nice way, and I do wonder how long the whole Super Adventure Rockman part of this will go. It looks like it could last for awhile here. Kind of curious to see if they give Tempo her emotions back after this, pending the outcome. Still, I don't see a tragic end to this tale, but you never know. Also, it looks like we're going to get some Proto... er, Break Man action over the next couple of issues as his origin tale is told.}

#16 was a good finale to the first whole arc that wasn't dedicated to Mega Man vs. Dr. Wily.

_{SPOILER; We learn just why Xander's a lot more against robots than Harvey/Mr. M'kay was, but the dude takes it just a wee bit too far. They really wanted to make him an unlikeable jerk in this whole thing, and on that part, they succeeded. He'll need to be better prepared next time, and I hope they let him get another chance to make an impression down the road.}

Protoman origin arc = best thing ever. I LOVE the way they handled the faulty core and incorporated that into his in-game Racer-X-style behavior. Also that Protoman theme
