Archie Comics talks Mega Man, Sonic comic plans, know fans want a crossover
A portion of an MTV Geek interview with Editor Paul Kaminski...
GEEK: Have there ever been talks of doing any in-game tie-ins?
Kaminski: We do them with Sonic whenever a new game comes out, for instance there's a Sonic Generations tie-in coming up in Sonic #230 that'll act as a primer for the game. With Mega Man, the series hasn't been around long enough to coincide with a new Mega Man game for it to tie in to, but expect to see it down the road! We do adaptations of previously established games too, like the "Sonic Genesis" storyline that ran in Sonic #226-229 (hardcover collection available early next year) which was an adaptation of Sonic 1 and 2 for the Sega Genesis, or the Mega Man 2 adaptation story we've got coming up in Mega Man #9-12.
Kaminski also recognizes that fans are calling for Sonic/Mega Man crossover issue, but didn't commit to anything. Check out the full interview here
