[Robert]

This series is so much better than one would expect, simple cartoony heroics and fun but with an admirable amount of heart.

[Matt]

Not my favorite in the series, but still a fun ride. I love Mega Man.

Still surprisingly good. Still a lot of attention to character. Still willing to slow walk everything to allow for detail and suspense.

There are some aspects of this "character" stuff that are cliche. And by cliche, I suppose we could admit everything is cliche. But what about the friend of the robot who doubts that robots are good for humanity? Do you think his life will be saved by a robot and he will have a dramatic about face? OR do you think he will be unable to saved by a robot and fill everyone with his doubts, including the main character?

There are two choices, right?

But telling good stories within the boundary of a licensed and only partly developed world is tough. The gritty reboot, e.g., Power/RANGER, is a pretty common way to do this. I suspect clean, bright, and earnest is the hardest of all.

I was legitimately impressed with this graphic novel. Even for someone who has never even finished a single Mega Man game I still found this to be a good read. Its was also one of my first graphic novels so it gets extra points for convincing me to continue reading manga/comics. Oh yeah and it has a really good art style too. Definitely prefer it too the black and white style of most manga.

This volume was an enjoyable read that basically got amazing right as it ended.

It has me slightly curious about the Mega Man and Sonic crossover event AND hungrily awaiting the next volume of Mega Man which looks. AMAZING!!!
