Celebrating 25 issues of Mega Man – the best moments so far

May 08, 2013 // Minish Capcom

Archie Comics’ “Worlds Collide” crossover series continues today with the milestone Mega Man #25. Hit up your local comics shop – or your iPad, Kindle etc – for this and the rest of this crazy collaboration with Sega!

Worlds Collide is just the most recent storyline, of course. Let the Games Begin kicked things off, followed by the Powered Up themed Time Keeps on Slipping and the MM2-inspired The Return of Dr Wily . That led right into Spiritus Ex Machina and Rock of Ages (and its art contest ), which bring us to the present day.

In celebration of its two years (and counting) of existence, Archie and Unity chose some of our favorite moments in the series. Anything we left out that should have made the cut?

25 – Guts Man and Concrete Man belt out some tunes at Karaoke. Maybe they should try out for Robot Idol? (MM#17)

24 – Quick Man’s got enough ego for both himself and Mega Man. Of course we’re just referring to the name of that juice! (MM#11)

23 – Bubble Man’s threats go unheard… and trumped by Mega Man’s accidental jibe! (From  Mega Man #9)

22 – Powered up Time Man and Oil Man are revealed! (From  Mega Man #4)
