Mega Man 09

Wow! It feels like it's been forever since I last posted up a preview of an upcoming Mega Man ish! So, here at last is the preview to this month's Mega Man #9, kicking off our adaptation of the Mega Man 2 video game! I was so excited when these pages popped up in my workload... This is some of the best art in the book yet and penciler Ben Bates really gets the Mega Man characters and their world. This book is out in comic book stores now. Enjoy!



MEGA MAN #9"Dr. Wily Returns" Part One: With the villainous Dr. Wily gone and no Robot Masters for him to steal, the world seems safe! Mega Man prepares to return to the quiet life of Rock the Helper Robot – until the lightning-fast Quick Man attacks Light Labs! Dr. Wily is back, and this time he's brought his own Robot Masters in his new bid to conquer the world!
