When Rockman met Sonic...

Me too.

Also, I think Sonic pretty much stopped moping in issue #236. He's all about the fighting now. And he actually seems to be enjoying himself in a more "leadership" oriented role. Seems like he tangles with Robo-Sally every other issue, but the new Freedom Fighters aren't afraid of pulling any punches against her at this point. It's one of those deals where they just assume they'll be able to save her eventually, regardless of whether or not they have a plan.

As regards the Mega Man crossover, both heroes deserve better than to have the big event disrupted by too much backstory.

I've been dreaming of a Sonic-Mega Man crossover ever since I first saw the cover of this magazine way back in 1993:

Really looking foward to this too. Though I've been reading Mega Man, I've lost interest in Archie-Sonic since I found it dull after the fallout of Genesis.

I'm honestly looking more foward to interactions between Wily and Eggman than Sonic and Rock since usually in crossovers, it goes to being 'the two heroes fighting due to a misunderstanding at first before realizing they need to team-up' sort of setup.

This is balls-out awesome.

Both universes lend themselves well to the idea of a crossover.

Wily and Robotnik... now there's a team-up.

I'm glad you guys brought up that point; it really should prove to be the most interesting aspect of this crossover. They really do have remarkable similarities:

Ironically, Eggman and Wily were both scheduled to appear in the upcoming Wreck-It-Ralph Disney movie based upon early footage of the "Villains Support Group" scene. Sadly, Wily was replaced in the latest preview. I can only suspect it might have something to do with Capcom's bizarre love-hate relationship with the Mega Man franchise.

I'm really excited about this too! I'm a die hard Archie Sonic fan and it's the only thing I like possibly more than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I really hope it's a good story and I want to see a lot of my favorite two characters from both series: Knuckles and Proto Man!!

I was reminded of an old Mega Man/Sonic crossover fanfic. The crossover itself is minor, but it's a great Mega Man story all in all.

It looks like Sonic is shaking hands with Chucky in a Megaman outfit. I know what's going to cause me nightmares tonight.
