Inside The Pages: Mega Man: Fully Charged #1

Five years ago, Archie put the Mega Man comics on an “indefinite hiatus”, after a 4 year run and 55 issues released. Since then, Archie has also stopped doing Sonic comics. Unfortunately, it is looking like the Mega Man Archie comics will stay this way, because the Mega Man IP has gone to a different studio. And this isn’t even based on the main series, but a cartoon that finished last year.

Boom! Studios is going to be doing a six-part miniseries based on the Mega Man: Fully Charged cartoon. The cartoon ran from August 5, 2018 to May 23, 2019, for one season that was 52 episodes long. As for the comic, a preview was released on the 25th. As of this post’s writing, Issue 1 released a few days ago, just a day after the solicitation preview came out. You can purchase it here.

Marchisello & Marcus Rinehart, with artist Stefano Simeone examine the cost of being a hero, and what it truly means to be human.
