Sonic and Megaman fans rejoice! This epic crossover comic series is going to start on the 10th of April this year! Yes you heard it, Sonic and freaking Megaman!
Sonic has been a part of Archie comics ever since 1992, basically covering every single Sonic era to date! According to Guinness World Records, it is the longest running comic book series based on a videogame.
I’ve been a fan of the Sonic comics during the Sonic Adventure 2 era back in 2001-2002, and have been a dedicated fan until one day I missed an issue or two which de-railed the plot to me and made me lose interest in the comics. BUT NOW is something worth going back to the comic for, an EPIC CROSS-OVER BETWEEN TWO OF THE LARGEST ICONS IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY!
Megaman, Capcom’s famous blue hero spawning many videogames, spinoffs, an animated cartoon, and finally an American comic book series! Megaman recently started getting the Archie comics treatment, already with their 23rd issue.
The idea behind this is really genius as there are many who wanted to see a crossover between them (I mean we DID see Mario & Sonic crossover)
This whole arc is issued through the Sonic the Hedgehog, Megaman and Sonic Universe series. That means that the 1st part is the next Megaman issue, the 2nd is the next Sonic issue, and the 3rd is the next Sonic Universe issue, which would continue until all 12 parts are done (YES YOU HEARD IT, THIS IS A 12-PART SERIES!)
Now the real question is, would this lead to other things featuring our favorite blue heroes?
We can all definitely agree that a Sonic/Megaman crossover game would kick ass! And I’m not talking Street Fighter X Megaman-like crossover; I’m talking Project X Zone-like crossover title! Think about it! A videogame where you can have BOTH side scrolling shooting stages along with high speed action stages?That would be freaking awesome!
This comic book series is our greatest hope of ever getting a game. Just imagine, Dr. Wily and Dr.Eggman trying to take over the world with Megaman and Sonic teaming up to stop them! Come to think of it, Sonic usually crossovers with Mario(Mario & Sonic Olympic Games, Super Smash Bros. Brawl), Mario crossovers with Pac-Man(Mario Kart Arcade GP series), Megaman crossover with Pac-Man(Street Fighter X Tekken) and now this, so a chance of a crossover between Sonic and Megaman is pretty high especially with this comic coming out soon.
CAPCOM! SEGA!
MAKE IT HAPPEN!
This was Mohammed Zubari, have a nice day!

CAPCOM became stupid or they love the banter
