@Xcs814X Sony Playstation 1000% I can live without Sega's "different music" and Cut Man / Wood Man fight when Playstation gives Mega Man 8, X3 Japan),X4,X5,X6, Legends 1/2, Tron Bonne, the Rockman Complete Works, Battle & Chase AND Super Rockman Adventures. That's 16 games.

Okay, when it came to the 5th generation of consoles and the blue bomber, are you team Sony or team Sega?? #retrogaming #PS1 #SEGA

@FinnMerten46882 Thanks for the love and support!

If you’re a Mega Man fan, I highly recommend pick the Free Comic Book Day Mega Man Showdown Special, written by Daniel Arseneault, with art by Mic Fong who worked on the Dreamwave Productions Mega Man comic, and colors by Josh Perez

Quem já se divertiu explorando e batalhando nesse mapa?

@NostalgiaFolder When you are poor and can't afford real Power Rangers toys in 1993, these are your boys.

@Dragonslay3r94 Best Carol and she needs to come back to this badly. I'll die on that hill.

Yep and it's even worse when they do it under the guise of "fixing the character for changing times". They not only do they change the designs but go out of their way to tear down old ones. Do you know how many people hate on Carol's Warbird suit because a man drew it? Alot.

In a world where we have Zone items (All those Micromasters), Battlestars (Star Convoy) and even Beast Wars II and Neo ....... where is my Operation Combination love? 🤣 A few redecos can be done into Battle Gaia and Scrash but so far the only "tent pole" TF line to not get some love in the past 10+ years or so of this modern era.

How it feels watching G1 fans and Bayverse fans calling eachother greedy when the only Energon and Beast Machines representation in the entire Legacy line are 2 Core class molds

@ColeMacgra3542 @Freecomicbook @UdonEnt @michaelfong68 @dyemooch @MegaMan @CapcomUSA_ Thank you for the love and support!

@Protoman @Freecomicbook @UdonEnt @michaelfong68 @dyemooch @MegaMan @CapcomUSA_ Protoman getting to write Proto Man, your dream come true, i bet. I was very interested in this ever since you said "it takes place in a very specific point in the timeline" in an interview. Thanks for your fantastic work writing these comics!

Mega May has BEGUN! Free Comic Book Day (@Freecomicbook) and Mega Man Showdown Special #1 drops tomorrow Saturday, May 2nd 2026! One Day ONLY! Was a blast putting this book together! I'll see ya soon! 🕶️🧣🎵

@ChosenFluffy @NE0ARCADIAS One day I should sit down and tell my Mega Man story.

@Protoman @NE0ARCADIAS Do you have a podcast where you discuss your experiences with Megaman, bet you have all sorts of neverending fun (and probably hilarious) stories

aww look who cant cuss

Yeah, people don't notice this but the Free Comic Book Day label at the top of each book comes in 3 different colors. Green = While might have some violence, is good for all ages Blue = Might have swearing or suggestion sexy content (skimpy outfits for example ^_^) Red = 18+ Content (With Free Comic Book Day this is like 1-2 books MAX) Stores for Free Comic Book Day want to have a lot of GREEN titles to get kids into books so we have to play within that bubble. But once they by our books, BACK TO DAMN YOU MEGA MOTHER F-- (Ok maybe not that bad =P) 📷

@Protoman haha! that makes sense, thats so funny

@KingDilly3 @MegaMan @UdonEnt @CapcomUSA_ Right now I got an X series that needs to reach it's first chapter conclusion. Let Udon know what you want!

@Protoman @MegaMan @UdonEnt @CapcomUSA_ This was a really fun read and the action does not disappoint! I really want more of this.

Hope you guys enjoyed our little battle shonen story with Mega Man Showdown Special #1. Back onto the Mega Man X story later this month! Thanks for all the love and support!

@elisia_vt Glad you loved the book! Hope you pick up our other books in the future!

Bass comic!!! Uuuuuuu my love... uuuuuuuuuuuu

@LilFormers Hmmmmmmmm!

This is 100% more hearts than I remember putting in this issue…

@IDWSonicNews Hope you enjoy the book as much as we did making it!

P.S. Mega Man Showdown Special #1 is also free today. :)

Free Comic Book Day and Comics Giveaway Day is here! Visit your local comic book store today to get a free copy of Sonic #1 and DC x Sonic #1. comicshoplocator.com

@Treepano Glad you enjoyed it!

The mega man free comic book day comic has so many favorite characters of mine in quick succession that I stopped processing for a minute (am happ)

@n2manahan1 @UdonEnt Thanks for the love and support!

I went by for Free Comic Book Day and picked up the Mega Man one! @UdonEnt did an excellent job with the art, characters, and writing. I was especially happy to hear Rock and Mega Man both being used. Reading the Battle Network one made me remember the manga.

@FinnMerten46882 Thank you for the kind words! As long as people keep buying my books i'll keep working on them and growing both the Mega Man X and Classic Series worlds. There is indeed much work to be done!

@Protoman Cool! Again, thank for your time answering questions from fans and writing a fantastic comic. I truly hope you keep working with the franchise. You’ve written fantastic stuff and I hope to read more of your work.

I’m not okay right now, this actually means so much to me

If Capcom owns it outright than Udon can use it since we have the license partnership with them. New material can be made if needed, it's just a matter of using it in the right place. Reprints of the Mega Man Archie books are coming from Udon as an example with some new material

@Protoman Even if we can’t go back to the world of Archie Mega Man, can we see versions of the characters from there appear elsewhere? (2/2)
