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!

The Complete List of Rockman Garage Kits at Summer Wonder Festival 2025

Wonder Festival returned over the weekend for its annual summer event, bringing a fresh batch of Rockman garage kits. For the uninitiated, WonderFest is a Japan-based event where creators obtain one-day licenses to sell copyrighted fan works—mainly garage kits. Due to Japan’s copyright laws, these are sold in person only, though they often surface on the secondary market for a hefty pile of zenny. A few kits returned from the 2025 Winter show (which you can check out here), but there were some exciting new offerings too. Let’s take a look at what was up for grabs!

Mega Man X Ongoing Comic Series Announced

Mega Man X Timelines #1 is in the hands of author Daniel “Protoman” Arseneault ahead of its release this week, and it comes with a surprise reveal: a back-page announcement confirming that Mega Man X will continue as a regular, ongoing series from Udon. Arseneault will return as writer, joined once again by illustrator Hanzo Steinbach.

According to Udon’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, the Mega Man X comic is a separate title from Mega Man Timelines and will launch with its own issue #1 when it begins serialization this fall.

A release date hasn’t been announced yet, and if past launches are any indication, it may be several months before Proto Man goes up for preorder.

New Look at Hiya Toys Mega Man X Figures (X, Zero and Sigma)

Back in March, Hiya Toys offered a first look at their 1/12-scale X figure, rumored to kick off a new line of licensed Mega Man X figures under the "Exquisite Basic" banner. Today, that rumor is confirmed—with an updated preview of X, plus the debut of Zero and Sigma at the San Diego Comic Con.

Though still in the prototype stage, the figures give us a clear idea of what's to come. X features multiple swappable hands and faces, along with X-Buster effect parts. Zero, styled after his X2 appearance, includes similar accessories and alternate pieces for his Z-Saber. Sigma is based on his X1 design and comes with his own interchangeable hands, faces, and saber effects. 

No pricing or release details have been announced yet, but we'll be keeping a close watch for more info.

Here’s hoping we won’t have to wait long for more information—Jada Toys is set to host a panel later this week.

Mega Man Was Once Considered for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games 2020

According to Mario & Sonic series producer Lee Cocker, Sega and Nintendo originally envisioned Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 as a full-blown “Video Game All-Stars” crossover, bringing together characters from other IPs—including Mega Man.

In a recent exchange on Twitter, Cocker revealed that the original concept for the game was to include a wide range of iconic characters—not just from the worlds of Mario and Sonic, but from across the gaming industry. That lineup included Mega Man, Pokémon, Street Fighter, Metal Gear Solid, and even select Sony and Microsoft properties. The idea was that certain characters would appear only in specific Olympic events, creating a crossover experience tailored to each character’s unique traits.

Unfortunately, the plan never came to fruition. “Lots of the deals/agreements couldn’t be agreed, which was a shame,” Cocker explained, “so it went back to just being Mario and Sonic.”

Still, it’s exciting to know that Mega Man was considered for a leading role in what could have been one of gaming’s most ambitious crossovers to date.
