It's a Kingdom, with a King. Royal Kingdom is just needlessly repoetitive! It's stupid! I might be overthinking to avoid the horrors of the Penders.

They've been intentionally vague about it, so it could go either way, helps that the reason this is happening isn't due to sales(from what I recall Mega Man sold about as well as Sonic Universe most months), it's due to Archie's finances being so screwed up that they literally can't afford to print Mega Man or Sonic Boom's comic anymore, so it's possible that it could return in the future once things get better for Archie(assuming they hold onto the Mega Man rights)

drat. I was in love with that series too. Mega Man is always such a nostalgia trip for me, and their take on it was so good and charming as hell.

The one thing Archie comics has no problem with is keeping things charming. Penders aside.

So is the Sonic Comic the new Uncle Scrooge of our times or what? And does that make Ken Penders Carl Barks who took some bad acid and got all high and mighty over having half a semester of English Lit under his belt and no drawing skills?

Holy crap, the last issue of Mega Man actually showed The Elf Wars from the backstory of Mega Man Zero! I don't think that's actually been depicted anywhere before!

After seeing so much about it on this board (just discovered the board a few days ago), I finally decided to pick up the first collection of the Archie Mega Man comics on Comixology. And on the same day I buy it, I find out that they've cancelled it? Life's not fair, goons.

Who's got the license to Street Fighter comics these days? Surprised they haven't snapped up Mega Man since they've got a working relationship with Capcom. Also how did Archie's finances get so hosed in the first place by the way? I knew financial woes were the reason Mega Man got the axe, but I never bothered looking up where those financial woes stemmed from.

They just started doing a new ongoing for the first time in like 6 years the other day after trying sporadic graphic novel releases. They also have a GI Joe crossover coming up.

I'd probably say that Time-Warner would make a serious offer. It seems like the properties would fit in pretty well with their Hanna-Barbera properties or just for use in general product branding, it could be milked for Adult Swim-styled fare (not counting the Fox ADHD Archie parody that has already been done), or trying to make it a Adventure Time/Steven Universe/Regular Show type of thing, too. The latter two might result in some degree of Hot Topic/Spencer's merchandising boom that alone could make it worthwhile. It would even fit in pretty well with their DC stuff. They could have an entire Golden Age/Silver Age DC type of characters and stories pop up all over the Archie titles if they wanted to keep it like some old-fashioned 50s Americana comic if that's as far as they wanted to take it. Oddly enough, I can sort of maybe see some kind of manga publisher trying to make a small bid for it. Whether or not they'd actually GET it would be another thing, but the Archie line of properties is one that I could sort of see someone in that realm seeing the potential of buying and doing a significant reinventing in such a way that might attract a new audience but totally alienate any existing one.

Disney should buy them so that Punisher Meets Archie and Superteens could both become Marvel canon.

If Marvel buys them they can finally reveal that Knuckles's surname is actually "Summers".

I'm reading it and I like it well enough but it's been so long since the last issue that I'm starting to suspect that it, AWA, and their respective creative teams don't actually exist, and my reading experience was all an elaborate hallucination. I mean, Archie and horror? Come on! If you're interested in the Archie horror line I wrote up a bunch of notes about AWA earlier in the thread, (and I think I've done the same for the Archie reboot) and a tidbit or two about Sabrina.

It's such an interesting and well-executed idea with each issue kind of being a homage to different horror films. It's also a drat shame because I bought a subscription and only received like 3 issues through it

Something to remember, Chilling Adventures is a different continuity from Afterlife. Anyway, this amuses me.

Disney buying up Archie would only result in a sitcom for tweens and you know it.  Also, I've kinda been wanting to read the Sonic comics now that I have a Kindle. I was thinking of starting with the Sonic/Mega Man crossover, but is there a better point to start at? Of course, I could read them ALL...

Start at the crossover, because it leads to a continuity clean up/reboot for the Sonic comic.
