When Worlds Collide Part 3: No Holds Barred

In this Issue we finally get a more meaty fight Between Mega Man and Sonic and with that more straight forward, not that it's only a slug fest, there are the odd bits of story development. In that respect theirs not much to say but that's not bad, rest assuredEmbarassed

As your read through the fight you get an insight into how they view each other and how they think, Sonic cleverly using his home advantage while Mega Man struggles but succeeds to keep up as a result there is page after page of rather excellent panels.

As for the non-fighting parts are with Wiley & Eggman and Dr.Light in his Lab with roll.

The developing Bro-mance between these two badniks, complimenting each other, enjoying Mega Man and Sonic beating the rings out of each other and seeing their minions wait on them hand and foot is a treat. They even do an "Evil Fist Bump"Smile In Dr. Light's lab Proto Man arrives while he tries to figure out what's going on, you can see the hard feelings Proto Man has for his father but knows when he needs help which is apparent with his interactions with roll.

This was only round 1 of this Sonic and Mega Man beatdown as next issue has Mega Man facing Sonic on his home turf and he has brought some friends along.

Conclution

This issue was better than the last maybe because of the action but I'd say because things have moved along a bit more, the heroes haven't gotten to grips with the situation yet and cracks are beginning to show in the Evil Dr.s plans.

Things are shaping up rather nicely, in this very "way past cool" comic book Cool

I'm caught up now thanks to you. I went out on free comic book day and I got lucky. They had the one you showed. Now I just need to get the third one that you are talking about here. Tremendously good comics that I will always have in my collection. I love game related .....anything! Who am I kiddin' here.

What is the Rivals Variant, is that like from Shadow and co.'s perspective, or just a different cover?

Apparently the Mega Man comics cover bosses in each issue in the same order as the games. I will be picking up Mega Man comics now.

yes you should, some battle are overly brief but they're covering all the cannon games and giving some more emotional context so's to make a better story.Smile

Ha! so true, but you know, this could lead to an actual game if this proves hugely successful. Soo many companies are crossing over their franchises Sonic and Mega man  should be next.Laughing
