MEGA MAN: FULLY CHARGED Gets a Tie-in Comic from BOOM! Studios

I don’t think I ever expected to see a new Mega Man comic in my day. Well, Now we’re getting one. BOOM! Studios recently announced the new six-issue series Mega Man: Fully Charged from the writers of the TV series, A.J. Marchisello and Marcus Rinehart. The writers are being joined by artist Stefano Simeone and Man of Action Entertainment. The comic is based on the TV series of the same name on Cartoon Network and is sure to be a blast.

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.

Marchisello and Rinehart released a joint statement about the comic:

Having worked on the Mega Man: Fully Charged television series, we're honored to help usher this story from screen to page. Man of Action's unique take is a Mega-fan's dream, and thanks to BOOM! Studios, that dream has come true.

Simeone shared his excitement as well:

I can’t believe I’m working on something that I grew up with and enjoyed so much when I was a kid. I’m very happy to be working on a new Mega Man comic book, and I can’t wait to share my enthusiasm and excitement on the pages of this series with readers and fans everywhere!

Mega Man: Fully Charged #1 will be available in August 2020 with print copies available through local comic book shops and digital copies through various platforms including comiXology, Google Play, iBooks, and Madefire.
