MEGAMAN #29, the first of four issues penciled by me, written by Ian Flynn, with inks by Gary Martin, colors by Matt Herms, lettering by John Workman, and covers by Patrick Spaziante and Dean Haspiel, will hit the racks this week, Wednesday, September 18th:

“The biggest storyline in Mega Man comic history starts here! “BLACKOUT: Curse of Ra Moon” Part One: The world has shut down!  When the power of Ra Moon robs the Earth of all its technology, it’s up to Mega Man and a handful of Robot Masters to set things right. But just how can robots handle the force of a technological meltdown if they’re cut off from the ability to re-charge? Has Mega Man fallen right into Dr. Wily’s trap?  Or has Wily underestimated his mysterious new ally?”

I wasn’t a MEGAMAN reader either, but I backed-up to the first issue and started doing my research, and was surprised to find this is a really well-done comic that reminds me of the classic superhero fare that got me into comics to begin with. It’s also a pleasure to work with such a pro team. Gary and Matt took my pencils and … I dunno … worked some kind of magic on them. As this first issue comes out, I’m working on my third, and it’s been a cool and interesting challenge. Very happy to be a part of the whole thing.
