Okay, so we all know the Mega Man comic is going on hiatus. A lot of people are afraid that thatās just a fancy way of saying itās cancelled without actually saying itās cancelled. So Iāve got some advice.
If you want to have more Mega Man comics, BUY THEM. Buy the last three issues, #53-55. Buy them like hell. Pop out to your local comic shop, purchase digital versions from Comixology, do whatever. Just buy them.
Itās $3.99 for each comic, for one issue a month, for three months. Anyone can afford that. You can save the money for that literally just by skipping lunch once or twice.
Well, I say anyone, but there are probably people who genuinely canāt. For any such people, they should still email Archie about it. Make your voice heard and all that jazz. People who are buying the comics should probably also do this, anyway.
So, do you understand why we should be doing this? Because it proves to Archie and Capcomās higher-ups that Mega Man is profitable, and therefore, that they should keep making Mega Man stuff. (This is also why you should buy Legacy Collection, even if it is pretty lame)
See, we, as in the Mega Man fandom, have a bit of a problem.Ā
Weāre bad at putting our money were our mouth is. All the time, we complain about how there isnāt anything Mega Man, and how Capcom is ignoring it. But then, when there is something Mega Man, we barely buy it, because itās not quite what we wanted. And, even if we think what weāre saying isĀ āNo, we want Legends 3/ZX3/whateverā, the only message that sends to Capcom is that Mega Man isnāt profitable. And what that means, is that Capcom will keep ignoring it. See what Iām getting at here?
Ian Flynn, the comicās writer, pointed it out once or twice. The specific example he used was that if even half of the people supporting 100 000 Strong for MML3 (which, for reference, is not actually 100 000. At the time, Iām pretty sure it wasnāt even half that) were to all buy the comics, he could have easily convinced Archie to let him do an MMX comic. But they didnāt, so instead of having two comics, weāre getting no comics.
Iām sorry if this sounds like Iām saying the entire fandom does it, or that Iām not sometime guilty myself. That would be unfair and untrue, and is not what Iām trying to say at all.
If you could reblog this, spread it around, thatād be great. If not, thatās fine too.
