Hmmm
TheMega Mancomic series from Archieis probably my favorite comic out right now. It manages to give us a splash of nostalgia while incorporating some interesting storylines, and of course, it helped birth two Sonic collaborations, which is like a childhood dream come true. I’ve collected every issue to date (it’s on issue 50 right now), but sadly, it looks like the future of the series is in question.
While ithas notbeen canceled, ComicBook.com reports that the series is going on indefinite hiatus after issue #55. Archie editor Vincent Lovallo has confirmed that it is not necessarily permanent, and not Capcom’s decision, but their own. In short, it’s no secret that theSoniccomics have been much more fruitful for Archie as a whole. I’ve asked Archie directly about expanding to a newMega Man Xsubseries multiple times, and the answer always seems to imply that there isn’t a demand for it — meanwhile,Sonicgot histhirdArchie comic series this year withSonic Boom.
Well, I don’t know what to make of this. I mean, for all intents and purposes it sounds temporary, but you never know, and in any case Mega Man will be powering down for a while. I was happy with the way things were going with theMega Manseries, since Archie was doing what Capcom couldn’t — keeping the spirit alive.
