Dr. Wily is Getting His Own One-Shot From Udon This Summer

Dr. Wily will headline his own standalone story, written by Tavis Maiden with artwork by Ryan Jampole, Udon Entertainment has confirmed. 

Here's the official solicitation:

Dr. Albert Wily, the (self-proclaimed) world's greatest scientist stars in his own 1-shot adventure! Dr. Wily's ultimate scheme is about to be revealed, with only one thing standing in his way... the annoyingly "heroic" robot known as Mega Man!

Cover A comes from Ryan Jampole, with Cover B by Jeffrey “Chamba” Cruz and Cover C by Tavis Maiden. Rounding things out, Cover D—Udon’s first-ever Mega Man “swimsuit” cover—is illustrated by Andrew Dickman.

If that doesn’t get your gears turning, this might: Udon tells me this one-shot serves as a prelude to a new, currently unannounced classic Mega Man mini-series set after Mega Man Timelines #1. More details on that front in the near future.

Dr. Wily #1 s currently scheduled to hit stores on June 17, 2026.

  1. The second cover is very rad. Love to see Ra-Thor on it.

  2. How has Andrew Dickman not been blacklisted from the industry?

  3. This is a great idea. Love the B and C covers too (always like seeing these kind of self-parodies from the villains’ perspective).

    Also, is this the first time we’ve see Reggae with a “support” form? Reggae Floaty better be in DO!

  4. Good to see more Dr Wily these days and more MM coming up. I think better art style than the NES era by far with better body to head proportions. The coming MM12 makes him look better than other MM games, I think, and more mature.
