Worlds Unite Prelude Available On Free Comic Book Day 2015
Next year’s Free Comic Book Day will have more significance than usual. Why? Because the prelude to the Worlds Unite Archie Comics crossover will be available.
Don’t know what Free Comic Book Day is? Super Hero Hype explains:

Looks like the’re two locations, Sonic’s Greenhill Zone, and what appears to be a city that belongs to Megaman, also I spy Tails in the background of Sonic’s half of the cover. I hope there isn’t any “Genesis Wave” that takes place, and the Archie Sonic characters are set to appear this time.
Lets hope so.
Well, Sally can be seen in the background of Green Hill Zone on the MegaMan cover. So maybe there’s still a chance they’ll appear in the story.
There’s no Genesis Wave, as you can see Sally in the background.
But there is something called the “Genesis Portal”.
Awesome Archie always puts allot of effort into the free comic.
Please don’t tell me that this is hoping to take over each comic book’s milestone issues again….
I know 🙁 But if you do the math…
If they do this, this will be the THIRD TIME it’s happened.
Alright, time to watch the entire universe reset in a way we’ve never seen it before….. again….. and again…….
Though the universe reset (for Sonic only) was because of real life legal disputes between Archie Comics and Ken Penders, given there isn’t any turmoil like that going on right now I can safely warrant you there won’t be any universe reset for Sonic this time.
I think Ian plans to use the story lines that take place after Megaman 10 (shortly after the first crossover), and Megaman X8, while sticking to the Sonic Unleashed arc (based on the 2008 game, just incroperated into the comic series) because if you think about the Megaman comics are simply just retelling of the games, and making a time skip within that series would make sense, saying how you can simply play (or watch let’s plays of the games on YouTube, saying there is no next generation ports of the games. By the way I don’t want to open any wounds that may, or may not belong to any fans of the Megaman Franchise), but I don’t personally think that Sonic Boom has, a singular plot (besides Dr. Eggman is causing trouble, and we need to stop him feel, I don’t feel justified in saying that is a plot for that series).
