While Free Comic Book Day’s offerings are often accessible and appealing to newcomers, this Mega Man Showdown special feels a little too mired in continuity (even two different continuities) to attract new fans.
That said, both stories here are all about action, each feeling like sequences from a Saturday morning cartoon, cheesy dialogue, etc.
The story begins with Protoman fighting a bus that stole important data from Dr. Light. This takes place as a continuation of the main Mega Man series and is a lot of fun with some really fun artwork.
The second story in this issue is the first Western comic set in the world of Mega Man Battle Network, and while the story itself is pretty simple, you might be confused as to what’s going on and who’s who. It’s still fun, but given that Battle Network primarily takes place in a digital world, the stylized art becomes a bit of an acquired taste.
Still, you can’t argue for free. It’s a satisfying addition to Udon’s expanding Mega Man comics that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed so far.
