It’s happening, folks. Udon Entertainment has officially announced that they will continue Archie Comics’ Mega Man series under the Mega Man Adventures banner.
The new comic will pick up directly after issue #55 and begin an adaptation of Mega Man 4. Future issues will carry two numbers to reflect both runs, meaning the first installment will be released as both Archie’s issue #56 and Udon’s issue #0.
The comic will be written by Ian Flynn with artwork by Chad Thomas and is currently targeting a November or December 2026 release.
More updates as they come! Thanks to Matthew Low for being our eyes and ears at the panel.
FINALLY!

ReplyDeleteThis hiatus was like.. old enough to have completed elementary school i think..
ReplyDeleteWAAAHOOOOOOOO!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis comic was my entire life from like 10-15 years old, its the reason I started doing art in the first place and the reason I got into Mega Man.
I could not be happier!!! :D
LITERALLY FREAKING OUTTTTT AAAAAAAAAGH! GREATEST NEWS OF THE ENTIRE MONTH HOLY SMOKES MY GAAAWD! Archie Mega Man means the universe to me, it doesnt feel real. This feels like a dream that this is coming back. I can't believe this is real, its genuinely a dream come true.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually perfect when you remember that Mega Man 4 begins with a recap of Mega Man's origin.
ReplyDeleteI waited to see proof that the Archie run was going to continue under Udon comics, and now that I see it, I'm smiling inside and outside. For the longest time, any interaction I had with Megaman revolved around only the first three entries: my brother had the original 1-3 on the NES & I only played a little of 4 before it was returned to the rental store and never played it again or 5 & 6 until the Anniversary Collection. Then the Archie run goes through the first three games, a semi-adaption of Powered Up, Super Adventure, and two crossovers with Sonic the Hedgehog, but stops just as the 4th game was about to start. After that, the Mastermix Run goes through the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd games with the Metal Heart epilogue to the third game attached before it ended.
ReplyDeleteI was beginning to think there was some sort of bad juju surrounding these adaptations, that some force just wanted things to revolve around the first three games and damned any that tried to go to the fourth and beyond. I'm glad to see that this storyline gets to continue on and I get to share that enthusiasm with everyone else.
