BOOM! Studios describes the story:
After Mega Man's father Dr. Light is kidnapped, a shocking truth rocks Mega Man's world as it seems the Robot Masters know more about his secret history than he does. But as Dr. Wily's machinations trigger Mega Man's forgotten memories of the brutal human/robot war, our hero is left to question just who he is and if he can trust anything or anyone – including the man he calls father.
Toni Infante is drawing the cover art for the first issue, and Miguel Mercado is illustrating the variant cover art.
Comic-Con International: San Diego convention in July 2018.
The series is aimed at children 5 to 11 years old, "as well as their parents who grew up loving the videogames [sic]." The show introduces "Mega Man's alter-ego, Aki Light, a normal, upbeat, schoolboy robot. When activated, his skin re-forms – in a flurry of computer code and visual pyrotechnics – into a suit of impenetrable nanocore armor, including the iconic Mega Buster arm cannon and helmet." The series also brings back characters such as Rush and introduces more new characters such as Mega Mini.
The Mega Man Steam on January 21.
The franchise has also spawned multiple manga and anime series and OVAs, as well as an American animated TV series. Megaman Star Force anime.
