These comics do have cool art.
I want to read Archie vs. Predator one of these days.

I think I've mentioned before on here that my favority comic is Archie's Mega Man series, which is written by a guy named Ian Flynn. Or, I should say, was written. The series has gone on indefinite hiatus But before Flynn wrote Mega Man he became the head writer for the Sonic comic. After reading the Worlds Collide crossover event (Mega Man and Sonic is a weird combination but it worked), I decided to dip my toe in the Sonic pool since I already liked the writer. Plus, Sonic got a soft reboot after Worlds Collide that started the TPs back at 1, so it was a good time to jump on the bandwagon and the books have been good so far. ANYWAY. Archie also published a line of TPs called Sonic Saga Series that starts with Flynn's first story arc as head writer. I've been meaning to get it for a while and finally did. It's called The Darkest Storm
As of this writing I'm still in the middle of that massive Darkwing Duck collection but I'll be getting to this one soon. I discovered, though, while doing a little research on the series that Archie didn't actually see it all the way through and cancelled the last couple TPs. But that's par for the course with them, unfortunately. Though they allowed Mega Man to come to a proper close, they have yet to publish the trades for the last several arcs. I will remain angry about that until they rectify the issue. But regardless...at least this Sonic book should be good.
I tried to get into the Archie Mega Man comic books, but I just couldn't bring myself to go to a comic book store often to get them. But that's not the book's fault. I've always been that way about comic books. I really would like to nab some of the new Darkwings, though.
I'm not a fan of individual comic issues. You can't just put them on your bookshelf! That said, I may eventually break down and try to get the issues for the last couple story arcs that Archie is failing so spectacularly to publish. But you can buy the eight available trade paperbacks and the Worlds Collide crossover (which you can get in a single big volume now) on Amazon. I definitely recommend doing that. The Mega Man comic is so good!
