I won't rate this because, well, it's a 20-odd page Mega Man comic, but I WILL SAY that it's about as close to playing a late '80s NES game experience in comic form as imaginable.



Bring on the first Boss!

You have to admire Rock's determination to stand up for what he feels is right and fight.

I read this issue years ago, but have not been able to work through this series as I have wanted. I saw that this issue was fairly cheap, so I decided to revisit it to see if I want to seek out the rest of the issues.

I am so happy that this series exists. I know that it ended some time ago and that there are currently no known plans to continue, but I can definitely say that this is my personal MegaMan canon. The way MegaMan is characterized in this book (and the series as a whole) is of a robot who wants to do good despite his personal flaws. I think they did a fantastic job at giving him a real character rather than making him solely a do-good robot with no flaws.

This issue sets the groundwork for the beginning of the first MegaMan game. I want to continue reading through it during the rest of the year and will hopefully be able to finally fully enjoy this great work that Archie Comics did.
