Mega Man #9 Preview - Archie Comics

Archie's Description: "The Return of Dr. Wily" 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!

The Blue Bomber gets a Mega Man 2 adaptation to end the first year of his new comic. Again, Archie has had little trouble in hooking me into these story arcs so far as this is the third straight successful opener to me. The only thing I'm worried about is whether or not the pacing will be an issue like it was with the Let the Games Begin arc. In any case, I'll be going with the original music on this one just for a change of pace.

Will you be putting up the entire comic?

[Bean1227]

No. The people at Archie Comics would understandably not like that.

[TheMysticCore]

@Bean1227 You've tried it before, and the removed it?

I do not understand. I've seen tons of sonic comic issues in youtube and they were no taken down. I thought that only works on movies and tv shows, not comics.

[Bean1227]

No, I haven't tried it, but that's because I asked on the very first issue if it was okay to upload the preview pages. Ian Flynn, the writer on the series said, "Posting material that's freely available online for promotional purposes is cool to use. Now, if you end up getting the issue, scanning every page, and uploading the whole thing on YouTube, then I get cranky."

Also, I'd rather people just buy the comic if possible. This is more or less meant as a tease.

QUICKMAN IS GONNA RAPE MEGAMAN BY THE SOUNDS OF THIS

[TheMysticCore]

@Bean1227 Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining.

[AmricanGir]

Quickman...

You cheapshotted bastard....

Regarding the story... it is essentially a retelling of the MM2 game... but one point of interest is this apparent virus that Rock is getting infected with. This helps mend some problems I had with Issue #3 where Rock did a 180 with his attitude... but this brings up another question... has Dr. Wily managed to develop something of a precursor to the Zero Virus? Seems kinda early for that to be happening... but this definitely has my attention.

[Rivalseeker]

Yeah, I do have some worries about the pacing too, Bean. But I do have to give a lot more props than negatives for this issue. They switched artists again... and for the better I think. Chad Thomas did improve his artwork and all... but Dr. Wily and Roll just looked too weird for my taste. Ben Bates seems to have it down. :)
