Wow, can you believe it? After many years of petitioning and demanding, Hitoshi Ariga's acclaimed Mega Man Megamix manga is finally coming stateside, and soon, too! Our pal at UDON, Matt Moylan, sends word that volume 1 will be hitting comic book stores Wednesday, February 24th. Other book stores, and online retailers like Amazon should be shipping the book some time around then, too.To celebrate Megamix's release, Matt let loose a sneak peak at the final product (right), and another preview page from the book's Robot Master profile section. Which Robot Master is spotlighted this time? Find out after the break!
Many thanks to Matt Moylan for keeping us informed these many months! We're look forward to future Mega Man products from Udon!
YAY!
ReplyDeleteUnrelated: For some reason, the character Kakashi from Naruto reminds me this version of Shadow Man. Maybe Shadow Man has a secret in his right eye?
Does "comic book stores" include Barnes and Noble too?
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was meant to suggest that he always has one eye on the shadow world. X3

ReplyDeleteI would assume so.
@Protodude
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope so, lol.
YEAAAAAH!!! Darkstalker and Mega Man
ReplyDeleteMaybe because Kakashi is actually somewhat dressed like a traditional ninja and because Shadowman is also a ninja?
ReplyDeleteAmazon won't get volume 1 for 1 to 2 months... Alot of people probably pre ordered it...
ReplyDeleteAs always, I hope you guys enjoy this, as I know we've all wanted an English version of Megamix for a long time! I was honored to play a part in bringing it here after such a long wait. :) Look forward to volumes 2 and 3 as well!

ReplyDeleteAmazon will actually have Megamix Vol.1 in stock any day now. You can't really rely on their expected ship dates as they are often just guesses.
Just letting you guys know that vol.1 is delayed again... My invoice says March 25 - April 5th on Amazon...
ReplyDelete@Hypercoyote:
ReplyDeleteNot only because they are ninjas, but also because they have mysteries surrounding them (something common for ninjas) and they keep one eye closed that contains a secret. Obviously, Shadow Man doesn't has a Sharingan, but I've heard his right eye is a camera that shows Wily what he is seeing when open, which he uses in Megamix volume 2 to show the fight between Mega and Copy Mega. Will need to wait until vol. 2 is released to know about this...
Hmm. Well, I guess logging in via Google is no good, because then the name I've been using all this time on PRC doesn't appear. :P (That "Ash" up there was me, obviously.)
ReplyDeleteI checked the Barnes and Noble website and they don't have MegaMix Vol. 1 there at all. They have Vol. 2 for pre-order though.
ReplyDeleteShame too. I was hoping to use my gift card for that. Oh, well.
I actually went to Barnes and Noble today and checked their system and it lists Vol. 1 as "No new copies are available".
ReplyDeleteHopefully they or Borders will get them in the coming days as I have credit at both places.
Since I've had the Megamix vol 1 on pre-order since it was mentioned (back in .. Sept?) I will continue to not get worked up until it plops on my doorstep.
ReplyDelete*glances around it* Darkstalkers? Oh sweet merciful Gods! Yes! Moar Talbain, plz! :D
It ain't out yet. Probably not until March.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: Nope, I'm afraid you're wrong sir. Megamix Vol.1 is out now in comic stores everywhere!
ReplyDeleteAmazon will have it up any time. Stores like B&N and borders I wont be able to tell you when they put it out (since I live in another country) but hey should have it available soon too if they ordered copies.
