Fresh from the history-making crossover with Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man is back with an all-new adventure! The world has gone dark. Robots have collapsed in the streets. Mega Man awakes to a world without electricity—and a crumbling civilization! With the help of the brilliant Dr. Light, Mega Man and a handful of Robot Masters are sent to the Amazon to stop the source of the world's power failure. But their mission is not an easy one. The malevolent Ra Moon has awoken, and its out to destroy the world. At its command is the unwitting Dr. Wily and his army of Wily-bots and Robot Masters. Can Mega Man and his friends overcome the odds and save the world? Or is this the end of an era?

The book was SO GOOD! I loved the battle parts, how nobody was speaking and how it was all like intense. 👏🏻 The graphics and drawings were actually really nice.✨ I liked how rock sacrificed himself to save everyone. He is so cool and heroic. Nice work rock.🥰 By the way, Ra moon is not a moon, it’s a sphere. 😃 If anyone cares, this is now my 3rd fav book. Only because it CONTINUED (6 started it) my protest, “PUT PROTOMAN IN THE FAM!” Owner two is almost positive cutman dies in book 8. So i wrote on my hand, “Cutman will not die!” Because he won’t. Hopefully. 🙏🏻 Anyways, the book was a-maze-ing!!!

This was like so epic. Those mega huge battle scenes were oh my god amazing & chaotic. The good and “evil” robots together is a great gang when they work together. #4liferz! Anyways Rock is not going to die. He is like a rock and the hero never dies. But what an ending! AND YOU GAVE ME TIMEMAN! HE WAS THERE WITH THE PEOPLE OPERATING ON MY SISTER’S BFF’S MOM’S BOOK CLUB MEMBER’S NEIGHBOR’S DOG’S CHILD’S OWNER’S GRANDPA!

This is just a fantastic comic series and I always look forward to the new trade so I can get them all at once. If you like the other ones then you will like it just the same. A little more action in this one and it's fun to see all the robot masters fighting at once.

Another amazing Archie Megaman story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 13, 2014

Another amazing Archie Megaman story. This one retells a little known Megaman game that never left Japan called "Super Adventure Rockman," and had a pretty impressive story and was chocked full of anime cutscenes. The story is faithfully retold here with a few changes to bring it into continuity with Archie Megaman.

A "Super Adventure" and an excellent entry in the Mega Man graphic novel series!

A fast-paced adaptation of the "Super Adventure Rockman" movie-video game. Technology's all down because of an EMP shockwave sent out by Ra Moon, an alien supercomputer. It's up to Mega Man and his fellow robot masters to stop it!

Everything about this graphic novel is amazing, from the characters to the art!

This somewhat follows the story of Megaman 3 with the robot masters of megaman 2 and 3 making appearances along with break man, it just leaves you with a big cliffhanger at the end

Best story yet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 27, 2014

As someone who reads Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comics, Worlds Collide was my first real brush with Mega Man. While the first four books were good, they all followed a similar formula of defeat two or three bad guys a chapter and fight Wily at the end, and while volume 4 (Spiritus Ex Machina) broke away from that with quite a mature plotline about the morals of advanced robotics, they all suffered the same problem; the pacing was always off in some form going from sluggish to incredibly fast. This changes that.

Fresh from Worlds Collide, the alien entity, the titular Ra Moon, has caused a global shutdown of all machinery and even worse, the same field starts to turn on organic beings. Mega Man and a few straggling Robot Masters head to the Amazon to take out Ra Moon.

First thing to say, despite beings a kid's comic, it makes it VERY clear what the consequences are if the group fail. One of Flynn's best points is that he can make a comic like this very fun for kids, but also very mature as I've said before. Not scary at all, although a desperate Dr Wily is a very creepy sight, it just...doesn't patronize its target audience by dumbing things down.

Second to point out is the character dynamic between Break/Proto Man and Mega Man. It's clear to see that Break Man is always focused on the fight, but you can also tell that he feels immense guilt for his part in the situation. On the same lines, the finale shows Dr Wily in a very different light; powerless and desperate to the point that he is actually WORRIED for Mega Man at the end and does an incredibly good job at humanizing the mad scientist and also builds off of the Wily/Eggman dynamic in Worlds Collide. In short, despite being a horrible egomaniac, Wily still cares to a degree about what is happening to the world.

Third I feel there is a very small, almost barely touched upon, subplot that shows what happens when we become too reliant on technology, which makes the threat of global technology blackout even more frightening when you think about it.

All in all, can't fault it. Good pacing, brilliant story and terrific art work. 5/5
