Megabeatman: True Blue Reviews
Registrace 31. 05. 2014
Welcome, Everyone, to True Blue Reviews! A place where I summarize and analyze Sonic The Hedgehog & Mega Man media. Primarily, this place is focused on comics, but it also dives into cartoons, games, and on the rare occasion, material unrelated to the blue video game heroes.
Revisiting The World of Archie Mega Man (Part 1) - Let The Games Begin
Previously, I took a look at the entire Archie Mega Man series & now that many years have passed, I think it's time to revisit the comics with a fresher perspective. Today I'll be cover the first arc, the adaptation of the first game, Let The Games Begin. #megaman #archiecomics

The Iron Queen: Sonic The Hedgehog's Magitek Villain
awesome video!! so excited to revisit the comic through this series!! <3 i adore the archie comics!
I know there's a few dubs of this that already exist... but we're currently working on a new one with our team! issue one currently being edited and will be posted on our sister channel, Timeless Dubs. This was helpful on some research in things to include about those easter eggs in later issues probably wouldn't have thought of other wise.
So do you have any idea who might be want the rights to Megaman comics?
czcams.com/video/cZYttfCp3Pk/video.htmlsi=c45PHBUN3DpFTQzd
Can you also revisit the DreamWave issues, too?
i still remember when i was in my megaman phase i was pretty much inhaling these comics, i couldnt get enough of them, they always made me hyped to play the actual megaman games later it still breaks my heart whenever i remember that they were cancelled, just imagine what ian could have done with the x,z,zx and legends saga, it could have been great...
The Archie comics are actually what got me into Mega Man in the first place!
15:25 fin.
I've read only the first four issues of this series, and it's really good. I also can't wait for the new Mega Man comic series coming out next year.
I found archie Megaman pretty late, which is surprising since I'm a huge Megaman fan. The series felt like a true love letter to fans by people who genuinely cared about the franchise.
5:31 Dr. Light's one true love
15:35 In the Main series games for anyone who doesn’t know, Light Labs is in America. So since Archie is supposed to be like the games, best to assume that is the case.
I'm here to say I'm so thankful for your previous megaman and sonic videos! I usually miss the latest issue and comics and had no way to read them so I usually visit your channel after school to play catch up I'm now 22 and still occasionally watch your videos if I don't have the comics available and still immensely enjoy them so again thank you!
Is it weird that sonic's "phantom rider" getup is giving me batman vibes?
I've never been much of a gamer, but a dear friend of mine got me into these comics and I found them much more engaging than I initially expected going in. I agree that parts of Rock's emotional journey in this first arc felt a little rushed; imo later arcs would deliver angsty moments like that with more skill and even more impact. Looking forward to hearing what you'll have to say about the rest of the series going forward!
I really like visual aesthetic in 1st comic. It's very close to original art as it can be and great to look at. It's great as starting point and takes into account various details about willy and Light past and their whole philosophy. Of course if we comics just show as how Megaman go through levels it will be boring (it's not a game that we a taking action after all), so seeing Robot Master interaction and some meta plot between levels is interesting spin for main series. I forgot about this creepy image of Willy in 11:07. It's excellent. 17:30 I think they are reference to Forgotten World characters from Capcom.
There is another mega man comic which is.......yeah actually just don't bother
I think I know which one you're talking about, hopefully that one is left gone and forgotten in a landfill somewhere in Brazil.
princess for smash 6, let’s see her try and fail to take over the biggest video game crossover that doesn’t know how to f**king cross over
If the robot masters cant disobey orders all Wily had to do was command them to destroy another Mega Man
Tango being comfortable with Proto Man is a reference to the Megaman Megamix/Gigamix Manga by Hitoshi Ariga.
Worth mentioning, The Main cover art of this issue is based on the Character Select Screen of Marvel vs Capcom 1.
these comics were my childhood bro! God bless ya and Jesus loves ya!
If you haven't read it, your opinion is *invalid* *in* *FUCKING* *valid*
I remember watching archie mega man be dubbed, I stopped after the beginning of Mega Man 3 arc with top man
My first Megaman was NT warriors, so watching Rock and Roll being brothers was... weird. LOL
you think THAT’S weird? there’s several OFFICIAL CANONICAL ARTWORKS (and marvel vs capcom i think?) that imply robo-inc3st… albiet one sided… also the ruby spears cartoon for a moment in the pilot
@@masonasaro2118 I will always be a Rock x Roll shipper but yeah, it's a weird situation.
Mega man idw comics The colector saga
What a coincidence! I was just revisiting this!
Appropriate that the video was released around this time given the recent announcement of a new Mega Man comic series. It's really cool to see you revisiting this series with your current style, and I'm interested to see your approach going forward.
Great review! I enjoyed the Archie series and hope the new Udon one will be equally as good.
That comic made me a Mega Man dude. -JMM
You were one of the reasons I got into Mega Man. I loved going through these comics. I hope the Udon Comics are good.
Yes. It's here. It was this series that properly introduced me to Mega Man. Excited for the retrospective.
IDW better pick this up next
They can't! It's been picked up by Udon, the same company that's been doing the Street Fighter series since 2003.
@@KCruzer Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭
@@meheecan123 Pray that the reply "yes" to Ian Flynn's request to write for them. Besides their Street Fighter comics are actually pretty good!
Udon also did Megamix and Gigamix, so they know how to work with Mega Man.
@@richardquinata76 They plan to release more Mega Man Manga too.
Yay! These comics are what got me interested in Mega Man, and I watched your old videos to get caught up. Very excited for this retrospective!
I’m really excited for the Udon Mega Man Comics and I hope they have the same Heart/Great Writing of The Archie Mega Man Comics
Same! Heck Ian Flynn actually tweeted that he wants to write it again for Udon and if Archie's series is anything to go by, I hope he gets his wish.
@@KCruzer that depends if Udon responds to him.
@@Ihartwalrusguy Fingers crossed.
I’d be curious on his takes with the series post X or even just post early X as he seems good with keeping character with Japanese material even if those characterizations are controversial (Iceman’s crush on Roll)
I hope will be just like the idw sonic
I wonder if you heard about UDON Entertainment getting the comic book rights to Mega Man recently. Wonder if they either continue the Archie storyline or reboot it like IDW did for Sonic.
I heard it's a reboot, which is too bad because it could mean that Dr. LaLinde, Tempo aka Quake Woman and Vesper Woman might not come back. Despite that, Ian Flynn asked Udon if he could write for them and I hope he gets his wish.
@@KCruzer I’m pretty sure Udon would rather start fresh with a new writer. Plus it sounds like he wanted to do another crossover with Sonic and Mega Man
@@Ihartwalrusguy Only time will tell, besides IDW did hire him when they obtained Sonic so you never know. I don't think a crossover with Sonic would be possible anyway, if anything Rock might crossover with Street Fighter.
@@KCruzerstreet fighter and dark stalkers already cross over in their udon comics
@@KCruzer Dr. Lalinde, Tempo, Xander Payne, Vesper Woman and the 2 cops were characters owned by Archie Comics.
Very funny how well this was timed with the announcement of the new Udon series. I loved Archie Mega Man a lot so I’m hoping those ones will be just as good.
Ian Flynn actually stated that he's willing to write for Udon and with how well he did the Archie series, I hope he gets his wish.
@@KCruzer Let's hope he doesn't have an exclusive contract with IDW.
@@KCruzer Sadly, poor Flynn got too much hate as of late. He has been forced to block toxic people on sucky Twitter
@@JokerTheHedgehogX I know, some people just can't let hate go. Although, I find it hilarious that some of those haters want Ken Penders to write it.
@@KCruzer No, so much no. I don’t trust him with writing due to his selfish ego.
Honestly, I think they still could had used the Iron Queen. Archie Comics could've easily written off the first appearance Iron Queen as an imposter double, considering that during that time, she was considered a "badger".
Tails was adorable in this comic
0:07 the iron Queen needs to have her own movie in Paramount with realism involving Chinese mythology and the fall of modern China
This issue was very great and Sonic is the Phantom Rider. And can I say that costume is literally cool. It reminds me of a Power Ranger and I hope they can use this costume in the games in the future. And I literally smiled from ear to ear when I saw Surge smile feeling and being like a hero, since I want her to feel good about herself. Maybe something like this could help her change her mind to come to the light and be a hero. That made my day! For Lanolin the shock on her face says it enough. She was so absorbed about catching this Phantom rider and upholding the rules to the point that she's forgetting about every other racers safety. And thank goodness for Tangle and her tail and Whisper's sharp shooting. And Jewel knows that something is up with Duo. I just hope in this arc Lanolin learns a lesson about friendship And to apologize to Sonic, Whisper, Silver, Tangle Amy, and Tails and practically everyone she might have gotten angry or offended. And maybe I want Lanolin to step down from her leadership role and get it to Tangle or Whisper since those two both have more experience than her and one of them was one of the original members of the Diamond Cutters. And also Duo getting a out in the public and for Tangle and Whisper to capture him. And also what happened to Belle?! Who would want to capture and dismantle her. I hope she can tell a lot of answers in the next issue. Because so far this comic run is going pretty good and cool. I can't wait to see the Phantom Rider to be the winner and expose the bad guys in the process.
Wow. Not only Sega took a few cues from Kamen Rider, but also Power Rangers. Cool Easter eggs.
I'm calling it phantom rider is going to go on to become his own character like red x in teen Titans
I do not trust that Phantom rider suit Sonic is using. It's got to be part of secret plan Eggman has up his sleeve to use Sonic to do his dirty work. He can't be trusted and the heroes need to stop working with him. If the public finds out they'll deem Sonic a traitor for working with the enemy. Don't really care much about the race or the stupid diamond cutters or Babylon rogues or surge and kit, But I already know why Belle was locked up thanks early panels for 71 being released. The it was Clutch and the clean sweep guards who did it. He's gonna pay. I wish Evan would stop dragging out Mimic's disguise thing, just to the reveal and betrayal already! I want Lanolin get her comupace for being a bad leader and hero. Jewel is definitely getting suspicious
Might be a good idea for Sonic to pass along the Phantom Rider persona to someone else before things get too heated with the Race. With the way everybody was cheering for Surge and Kit, finding that it was Sonic might set them off. Although if it’s nearly anyone else, the good will Surge and Kit have built up would be preserved. Maybe they could trick Mimic or Clutch into the role and reveal their other deceptions.
When is motobud coming back ?!
13:04 the guards that appear talking about Prison Island where based on the guards from Ghost Trick. Evan herself confirmed it.
