The Blue Bomber enters a new era in comics!
We chatted with Matt Moylan, Director of Publishing at UDON Entertainment, back in August about the news of the publisher landing the Mega Man license from Capcom. At the time, all he could say was that UDON had "plans" for a Mega Man comic book in 2025, and now we know what those plans are: a new series dubbed Mega Man Timelines. Here's the solicit information:
The Blue Bomber is back! MEGA MAN returns in five connected 1-shot comics spanning five different eras of robotic heroes! In this first issue, the original Mega Man squares off against two explosive and fiery Robot Masters bent on city-wide destruction! Fight, Mega Man! For everlasting peace!
Mega Man Timelines #1 will be hitting comic book stores on May 28, 2025. If you're curious what UDON's take on the character will be like, we highly suggest that you pre-order a copy of this first issue, but also the Free Comic Book Day offering that is Mega Man #0:
Video game legend MEGA MAN returns with all-new comics from UDON! In this special one-shot adventure, the original Blue Bomber faces off against villainous robots masters like Cold Man, Wind Man, Skull Man, and more! The new era of Mega Man comics begins HERE!
It's a pretty exciting time for Blue Bomber fans. The last time Mega Man had a new game was Mega Man 11 back in 2018, while his comic book series at Archie ended in 2015. Needless to say, Mega Man fans have been a bit starved for content, so hopefully UDON's take is a winner and leads to more adventures from the publisher.
