And you got a point. I'm glad Mega Man 11 exists and I thought 2.5D was a step in the right direction, but with the standard of todays video games where there's always something to do after you beat he game, I thought it offered too little. But like you said, with microtransactions and rushed releases, we can use games that take us back to the old days. Thank you for showing me a light at the end of the tunnel.Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-85897850332892683192021-02-01T19:21:02.937-06:002021-02-01T19:21:02.937-06:00I'd rather see Udon license out and finish the...I'd rather see Udon license out and finish the Archie run.

They have a long history with Capcom and their IPs, possibly more then any other comic publishers. Assuming Boom don't have any more ideas for new, non-Fully Charged-related, series after this issue, I wouldn't be surprised to see Udon going for license rights of original MM comics in the future.

Capcom's goal is to have Mega Man be a front-and-center mascot again. The classic series in particular is still known for consistent mid-to-high quality, which has the side effect of making its bad parts stand out and more easily attract scorn.<br /><br />That's just the pedigree this franchise boasts. If only the New Super Mario Bros. franchise had eight new themed bosses and eight new weapons each game, maybe it wouldn’t be accused of stagnating far more easily than Mega Man ever has. And frankly, in this modern era of microtransactions, live services, and glitch-infested launches, Mega Man 12 is one of the few things left in the world that’s safe to get excited about. It’ll either be great or it won’t come out at all.CK20XXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076778913572816882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-19053192084346539932021-01-29T12:48:13.182-06:002021-01-29T12:48:13.182-06:00I don't think CAPCOM is in the business of pla...I don't think CAPCOM is in the business of planning things like this; I think publishers, writers, and/or artists take initiative to reach out to CAPCOM for licensing. I could be wrong, but I don't think CAPCOM spent time courting comic publishers to do a limited-run comic series based upon a cancelled TV series.<br /><br />CAPCOM would definitely know if other comic publishers have Mega Man plans, but I'm almost certain CAPCOM does not originate those plans. CAPCOM makes video games and licenses their IP to companies which make other things, like toys and books, and approve or disapprove the products before their release according to the terms of their licensing agreement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-46481335836742415602021-01-29T11:26:41.922-06:002021-01-29T11:26:41.922-06:00Now that this is over, I'm more curious what (...Now that this is over, I'm more curious what (if any) future plans Capcom have with MM comics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-54593935204318915132021-01-29T07:55:55.471-06:002021-01-29T07:55:55.471-06:00For reals.

Now that this Mega Man comic seems to be over, all we have to look forward to besides Dive are the movie, the game in development, and the Battle Network mobile game which I'm convinced was just a rumor. And another thing, I don't hate Xover.

I like their take on Dr. Wily, even if he became too much like his OG version by the end. I do think the last two issues fell flat, especially how overdone the conflict with Nanagem was. Also, a nitpick, but I would've liked it more if Wily's mech looked more like patchwork, to emphasize that it's made of Robot Masters parts. <br /><br />I hope there is more on the way, though. There's much they could do with these series now that they're not restricted by Cartoon Network and other companies. inquisitivewordsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11754731410204070026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-10611757142785970262021-01-28T21:42:18.531-06:002021-01-28T21:42:18.531-06:00I feel kind of bad for Reploid21XX.

He clearly enjoys these comics while the rest of us fans come here to gripe about how we haven't seen anything so thoughtlessly corporate since Rockman X-Over.<br /><br />I can say nice things about them though. I didn't notice until now, but these comics handle fights better than the cartoon ever did. There’s no distinct plainness in the art style, no cheap special effects; it's all rather exciting, actually. Mega Mini was also surprisingly helpful in a way I've been waiting to see since episode 1 of the cartoon, though he's still not really a mechanic. He's more like the navigators from Mega Man X8.<br /><br />Unfortunately, as usual, I see a whole lot of problems in this issue, and the biggest of those... is Wily himself. After the comic spent all its time building up this iteration of Wily into something different and unique, this issue flushes all of that down the toilet. He was becoming the kind of subtle manipulator Sgt. Night wished he could be, but here he shows up in a Wily Machine to be a typical final boss battle, complete with gloating, begging for mercy, and last-second escape. None of what he says or does makes any sense or is consistent with his character. If Bert Wily really has admired him his entire life, that ought to be because Dr. Wily is a lot better at keeping his mask on than he is here. It’s like the writers finally conceded that there's no Mega Man better than the original, so why did they waste our time making Fully Charged in the first place?<br /><br />Oh, and “Wily always wins!” is a boast ripped directly from Mega Man 11, so thank you, Fully Charged, for reminding me that this spinoff is also at its worst when it’s providing empty fanservice. Thanks, I hate it.<br /><br />It's fitting that Suna got to pull one last power-up out of her keister though. Thanks, I also hate that.
