What’s better than one Sonic and Mega Man universe? You tell me.
Perhaps a bit awkwardly tangential in light of recent news, Comics Alliance have held an interview with Archie Action Comics editor Vincent Lovallo, Not only does this recap part one and give us another behind the scenes insight, but it comes with the preview for Sonic Boom #8. After the events of the last Sonic Boom story have unfolded, Sticks gets a real surprise when she runs into some of the cast of Mega Man X! But there’s hardly time to joke about as Sigma makes the two wacky doctors get to work on retooling the main universe heroes into minions of his own. This cannot be good! This is “Worlds Unite”: part 2.

It slices! It dices! It joins line-wide crossover events: it’s SONIC BOOM! “Sonic/Mega Man: Worlds Unite” Part Two: It was just another day at the races—y’know, the ones with the giant spider-mechs? Things start to get weird, even for the lovable, paranoid Sticks, when X and the Maverick Hunters arrived! Meanwhile, the epic bromance of the century is rekindled as the captured Drs. Eggman and Wily are forced to turn their life-long nemeses—Sonic and Mega Man—into minions for the terrifying Sigma! After the history-making “WORLDS COLLIDE” crossover event, Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man unite once more—and this time Sonic Boom and Mega Man X are joining the fray! Featuring cover art from the legendary Patrick “SPAZ” Spaziante, a special “happy fun time crossover” variant by Ryan Jampole and part 2 of the epic 12-part connecting variant cover series by artist Ben Bates!

Kill them off Zero!
What wacky hijinks will Zero, Orbot, and Cubot get into? Find out next time on… MEGA SONIC BOOM X!
You know what I want to see in World’s Unite. Dace the Intern take over Sigma’s plan! This dude was willing to destroy the whole PLANET to prove how evil he is. Sigma’s old hash.
Also, Zander Payne needs help. Where’s that organizer guy from Sonic X the comic. I’m sure those two would get along great. You know who he is, Ian Flynn! I would pay money for that!
Which… huh, I guess that last bit didn’t make any sense, huh?
A damn shame this is getting canned. At least it’s going out with a Bang…and a tiny Boom.
