The second third of the crossover may be closing, but that doesn’t mean the action is cooling down any!
Comics Alliance has its usual weekly recap and interview with Vincent Lovallo (including a hint to Archie Action stuff not related to Sonic or Mega Man, possibly), and SDCC hasn’t stopped them bringing out an early preview of Mega Man #51! Sigma has gathered his Maverick and Mechaniloid army and has seized control of the Genesis Portals. What does this mean for our heroes? Nothing good despite their efforts, that can be assured! But as they grow weaker from the attack, Sticks comes back from her dimension hopping shenanigans, and she brings some pretty well known faces into the wake! This is “Worlds Unite”: part 8.

Iris…
Oh boy, I hope she appears. It’ll be great to see a possible throwback to Zero’s famous, “WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOR?!”
You mean “infamous.”
Yes, of course. XD
Fun fact: That scenario, of an acolyte of Sigma’s (Vile) conjuring up an undead Iris just to mentally screw Zero up during a merger of Sega and Capcom realities, already happened in Project X Zone.
I can’t wait for this one. This could be exciting.
