Lost in a barren wasteland, the heroic Reploid Zero fights on! The world he knows is gone, but a new future is rising, and it needs protection. Enter a dynamic new era of Mega Man history!
This issue marks Ian Flynn’s return to writing Mega Man, his first story since the Archie Comics series. Artwork is by Hanzo Steinbach, who also provides Cover A and C, while Cover B is illustrated by Jeffrey 'Chamba' Cruz.
Mega Man Zero Timelines #1 is expected to go on sale in July.
On paper, Mega Man Legends had everything going for it: top-of-the-line graphics for its time, fast-paced action, and a cast of fully-realized, marketable characters. And yet, the game was not a hot seller. What went wrong? Where did Mega Man Legends—or Capcom—miss the mark?
In his little-known and largely undocumented 2011 book, What Kind of Decision is That!, Keiji Inafune offered some introspection. Behind the game’s failure, he admits, was a dangerous assumption: that the fans would buy it no matter what.
When Capcom announced that new Shooting Star Rockman goods would be featured in the latest Cap Kuji lottery, the series quickly began trending on Twitter—at least in Japan. Masaya Itagaki, the author and illustrator of the official Shooting Star Rockman and Tribe manga, took notice and was instantly inspired to draw his Blue Bomber once again for the first time in several years.
Kotobukiya returns with a brand-new exclusive model kit—this time spotlighting MegaMan.EXE in a slick Premium Charge Shot Version. Will this kit bust some viruses or crash and burn in the process? Stick around after the break as we dive into the highs and lows of this release.
Keeping this secret was tough, but it's finally out—Udon Entertainment is reprinting Archie Comics' Mega Man series!
In collaboration with Archie, Udon is remastering the comics in an oversized format with new short stories from the original creative team. To top it all off, the first volume will be available in hardcover. More details, including the release date, are coming soon. (UPDATE: Udon has provided an FAQ to some of your burning questions. Check it out here.)
Originally published in 2011, the Archie Comics Mega Man run delivered fresh stories inspired by the classic series, with Ian Flynn as the lead writer. It wrapped up in 2015 after 55 issues, leaving the door open for a potential adaptation of Mega Man 4.
While these reprints don’t guarantee a full revival, a strong reception could definitely turn some heads. Stay tuned for more updates soon!
Udon Entertainment has unveiled the standard cover art for Mega Man Zero, Mega Man ZX, and Mega Man Legends Timelines issue #1. Following the visual theme established by Mega Man Timelines and Mega Man X Timelines #1, each cover features its respective protagonist set against a backdrop of familiar villains.
Notably, the Mega Man ZX cover has undergone a significant revision since its initial preview, with Vent's face now more closely resembling the original character design.
Here’s a quick rundown of who's who and when to expect each issue:
Long overdue for some representation, Capcom has unveiled a new line of official Shooting Star Rockman merchandise, available through the latest Cap Kuji lottery.
The grand prize is a wearable Warrock plush that fits over your hand. Measuring just over 13 inches in length, it's ideal for cosplay. Other prizes include a set of B2-sized tapestries, desk mats, acrylic stands, keychains, and tin badges. You can see what each item looks like here.
Lottery tickets are available for purchase at 880 yen (roughly $6.15 USD) each. The odds of winning are divided into prize tiers, with the rarest item—the Warrock plush—having just a 1% chance of being drawn.
Prizes are expected to ship to winners between August and September 2025. While there's no guarantee these items will be available outside the lottery, past Cap Kuji merchandise has later gone on sale both online and at Capcom Store locations across Japan. We’ll be keeping an eye out for any updates—after all, it’s not every day we see Shooting Star Rockman getting some love!

Following today’s Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo has released a comprehensive list of Switch 1 games with compatibility issues on the new console. The list is divided into two categories: games with in-game issues and those with startup problems.
Most Mega Man games from the original Switch library will run without issues on the new system. However, Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 has been flagged for unspecified compatibility problems. While the game will boot, the issues are significant enough to warrant its inclusion on the list. Nintendo has stated that they are currently investigating the matter, so hopefully, a fix will be in place before the Switch 2’s launch on June 5.
Visit the links above to see if some of your favorite Switch 1 titles face any current issues.
