Mega Man Timelines #1 Sample Pages

Mega Man Timelines #1 has a new release date: June 25th. To hold you over until then, Udon Entertainment has shared four preview pages from the debut issue. You’ll find pages 1 and 2 above, with pages 3 and 4 waiting for you after the break below!

Mega Man Timelines #1 Delayed to June 25th (Updated)

UPDATE: Udon has confirmed in a press release that Mega Man Timelines #1 will be released on June 25th. Matt Moylan also informed me that the remaining Timelines books — X, Zero, ZX, and Legends — will likely be pushed back by about a month from their original release dates. 

Original Post: The first issue of Udon Entertainment's Mega Man Timelines was originally scheduled for release on May 28th. However, it was hit with a last-minute delay.

Udon's Matt Moylan confirmed the news to me directly, explaining that the delay is due to the company’s transition from Diamond Comics to Lunar Distribution. While a new release date has not been officially announced, some databases—such as League of Comics—list a tentative date of July 9th. 

That said, according to my local comic shop, pre-orders for Mega Man Timelines are still being accepted. So if you're hoping to snag a copy—especially one of the many variant covers—for your pull list or hold box, there's still time.

Matt said more information will be available soon, so stay tuned for further updates.

Mega Man Series Sales Top 43 Million

Capcom announced today through its financial results that the Mega Man series has sold a total of 43 million units as of March 31, 2025. The previously reported number, back in July 2024, was 42 million.

Despite the fact that the last game released was Mega Man XDIVE Offline in August 2023 for PC and mobile devices, the franchise continues to grow thanks to the most recent collection, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, and the ongoing sales of Mega Man 11 and other Legacy Collections.

On the horizon, while we wait for a new game to be announced, we can look forward to UDON's Mega Man Timelines comic book series.

Harumi Fujita, Akira Kitamura Reunite for "Rockmama" Album

Mega Man creator Akira Kitamura and Mega Man 3 composer Harumi Fujita have reunited for the first time since their Capcom days for Fujita’s debut solo album, Rockmama. Set to release this July, the album features 14 brand-new tracks inspired by some of Fujita’s favorite games, including Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Undertale, and of course, Mega Man. Kitamura provided the album’s cover art, drawing inspiration from Fujita’s viral TikTok video where she composed a "new" Mega Man-style track for her son.

The opening track, “Blue Pulse,” is a clear homage to Mega Man—so faithful to the original sound, it could easily pass as an unreleased stage theme. Give it a listen here!

Rockmama is due out in July, with pre-orders available now from Black Screen Records.
