Mega Man X to Appear in Archie Comics' Mega Man #34


Starting in Mega Man #34, Archie Comics' Mega Man comic book series will finally start exploring the Mega Man X universe!

IGN recently had a chat with the men behind the new Mega Man X comic, which will be published as a back-up feature in the pages of the Mega Man comic. The men responsible for this are Archie's Executive Director of Editorial Paul Kaminski, writer Ian Flynn and art by Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante.

Flynn revealed that the world of Mega Man X is "a bit darker, more complex, and tackles some deeper questions." In addition, the comic book takes place months before the first game, before the Sigma's revolution happened.

Since this is just a back-up feature to the regular Mega Man comic, the creators revealed that if there is support for the series, they will start making a proper Mega Man X book.

Mega Man X will appear in Mega Man #34, which will be released this February 2014 and Mega Man #35.
