Pre-orders are available now from Udon Store. Issue #5 is expected to arrive in-stores July 29th.

Mega Man X #5 Udon Store Exclusive Variant Revealed

Although the standard covers have not been revealed yet, Udon has gone ahead and unveiled the Udon Store exclusive cover for Mega Man X #5 by Atomic Marshmallow. Rounding out the "ladies of X" collage are Mega Man X DiVE's RiCO and iCO. Pre-orders open tomorrow at 9am PT.

Here's the solicitation:

"It's the final issue, and the final climactic battle—X versus Sigma! X will have to use every weapon, armor piece, and secret technique in his arsenal to hold his own against the leader of the Mavericks!"

Mega Man X #5 is expected to arrive in-stores on July 29th.

Mega Man X #4 "Ladies of X" Cover Variant Revealed

Mega Man X #4 is now available to pre-order, and as usual, the Udon Store has an exclusive cover variant by Atomic Marshmallow. This one puts Navigators Minerva and Luna front and center.

Like the previous Atomic Marshmallow covers, it also connects to the others to form a larger collage featuring the ladies of Mega Man X. And with only one issue left in the current story arc, it raises a fair question: just whose hand is that on the edge of the cover?

Mega Man X #4 is scheduled to arrive in stores on May 27th. You can also check out the previously revealed covers A through D here!

Mega Man X #1 Pre-Orders Open January 14th, Udon Store Variant Revealed

Tomorrow morning, Wednesday, January 14 at 9am PT, Udon Entertainment will open pre-orders for Mega Man X #1. Issue #0 hits stores the same day, and it acts as a prelude to this new run. Issue #1 is where the five-issue story arc officially begins.

You may have already seen the different covers for Mega Man X #1, but there’s also another one to add to the mix: an Udon Store-exclusive variant illustrated by Atomic Marshmallow, spotlighting Pallette and Layer. Even cooler, it pairs with Atomic Marshmallow’s cover for issue #0 — place them side-by-side and they form a connected collage. And with that in mind, you can probably guess who will be featured in their issue #2 variant.

Mega Man X #1 is expected to arrive in-stores February 18th.

Mega Man ZX, Mega Man Legends Timelines Delayed to January 14th

Contrary to earlier reports, Mega Man is not dropping January 7th. 

Udon Entertainment has confirmed that Mega Man Legends Timelines and Mega Man ZX Timelines have been delayed once again, now scheduled for release on Wednesday, January 14. Both issues are expected to arrive the same day as Mega Man X #0.

According to Matt Moylan, the delay was due to a miscommunication between the printer and distributor. As a result, the comics did not arrive in time for the planned January 7 release ahead of the distributor’s holiday break. The books have effectively been finished and sitting ready for the past two weeks.

Mega Man X Comic Series Reading Order

With Mega Man X Timelines #1 hitting comic shops this week, author Daniel "Protoman" Arseneault is already looking ahead to his next endeavor: the upcoming Mega Man X ongoing series. For those curious about how — or even if — this new series connects to Timelines, Daniel has shared the graphic above to clarify how everything fits together.

According to him, the ongoing story begins with an as-yet-unannounced issue #0. While the events of that issue remain a mystery for now, it leads directly into Mega Man X Timelines #1, which centers on X and Zero’s battle with Chill Penguin. The timeline then continues with Mega Man X ongoing #1, currently scheduled to launch later this fall.

More details on the ongoing series are forthcoming. Stay tuned!
