Mega Man 8: Redemption

Mega Man (Archie) #8

by Ian Flynn, Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante (Illustrator)

MEGA MAN is the hit action-adventure series from Archie Comics!
 
Mega Man took up his Mega Buster to stop the evil ambitions of Dr. Wily. That means Dr. Wily is his greatest enemy—right? Not according to the doctor! He says he was being used by the terrifying Ra Moon, and to prove it, he saves Mega Man's life!
 
What is the truth behind Dr. Wily? Is he plotting something sinister yet again, or has he really been the victim all along? Mega Man embarks on a mission that will test his courage as much as his skill to find out the truth!

Is there redemption for a mad scientist?

More fantastic robo-fun! Wily is at the centre of it all and the writing gives him more depth than his usual moustache -twirling portrayal.

I continue to be impressed at the story-telling potential in the classic Mega Man franchise! I think Ian Flynn does very well to tell rich complex stories in an all ages comic.

I'm also VERY EXCITED because this volume contains the first two issues of Ian Flynn's take on the Mega Man X franchise, which is AMAZING and even darker!

Also, the art is outstanding as well and Patrick Spaziante does fantastic work on this title! I hope this series has the longevity of their Sonic Series.

This seems like it's kind of stalling. There is not really a question about Dr. Wily's moral alignment, but the book presents that as the surprise dilemma.

Also, the Mega Man X stuff never seemed like it was visually compelling. It's like Mega Man, but just much busier.

It's unfortunate that the TPBs didn't complete the series, but the books that were published were a fun read.

This volume was definitely another well written Megaman stories by Ian Flynn. You can actually feel the emotions running around the characters. Megaman exeriencing with fear and relief and Doctor Light explaining it to him was very interesting. My favorite scene would be Breakman's and Quakewoman's conversation which was really intense. Flynn has done another remarkable job and putting a lot of Moral Conflicts within the Robots' Artificial intelligence..This book reminded me of Ex Spiritus Machina Arc which was one of the very well written volume in my opinion!☺

You will believe that a subject like post traumatic stress disorder can be explored in a licensed comic book meant for younger audiences.
