“If Batman can breathe in space, so can I!”
Mega Man Gigamix Volume 3
Udon Entertainment (September, 2011–took me that long to finally get it out of my pull folder)
WRITER/ARTIST: Hitoshi Ariga (plus a lot of helpers listed at the end of the story) ENGLISH TRANSLATION: M. Kirie Hayashi LOCALIZATION/EDITING: Ash Paulsen LETTERER: Marshall Dillon
The forces of Doctors Light, Cossack, and Wily have teamed up against the Stardroids, except Proto Man and Bass, who as usual are doing their own thing. Even Duo finds a way to return to fight them, but it may not be enough. And when the Stardroids’ master finally awakens, can Mega Man stand against him?
This is a great finale to the “Gigamix” storyline, filled with action but also the story itself goes into the true nature of a hero in general and Mega Man specifically, and the power of hope. While it goes on about how evil the human race can be it also goes into how good it can be and I believe that both should be acknowledged.
I highly recommend tracking down all three series (Remix, MegaMix, and Gigamix) as they’re great Mega Man stories.
