Description
I have to say...when I read the 4 issues about the world wide blackout in the archie comics with my mom...I realized something.This chapter...was very...very, very....VERY dark.
Think about it. An ancient super computer from alien material activates a field which disables all electronic technology. Which is about 99% of what sustains human life.
Phones go dead, computers fail, your house goes dark, the streets have no light, which means tons of road accidents. The trains stop and people are trapped, airplanes crash, which by the way, millions of AIRPLANES ARE INT HE AIR AND CAN'T LAND INT HE DARK BECAUSE THE ENTIRE AIRPORT GOES BLACK?
Hospitals goes dark and many people die who are kept alive by machienes, you can't cook, you can't call anyone, no SOS, boats are lost at sea, people in space can't go down because their connection to earth is gone, food factories are dead, which means no food and tons of other things.
Guys, this means that MILLIONS of people have DIED. And the blackout lasted TWO. FULL. WEEKS.
Are you kidding me?
That's gotta be the darkest thing I've seen in a cartoon/video game story. But I can't say it's bad. Ya happy now adults? There is a very serious threat in this story which we can actually shiver in fear about. No electricity means we're all fucked. Send back to the stone-age.
And another reason why Elecman is awesome.
We also know that Ian Flyn linked Shadowman to the Stardroids, which are also linked to Ra Moon. I give my best autistic epic clap for that. But there is one thing I hope...no...pray for.
There MUST be an emotional struggle for Shadowman when the Stardroids come to earth. They havn't forgotten him after 20.000 years ago. They'll probably be very abgry and punish him. Trying to get him back on their side.
Shadow struggles with the fact that he has two options:
Join them and get a new purpose ( since I think he will be very upset when he hears Whily dies at the end of the Megaman 3 story. Spoilers, he does not die, btu he will think he has no purpose after this )
Or...he can protect the family he never had.
Ian Flyn...please. I'm not begging, I'm hoping you would take this oppertunity and create an amazing chapter out of this.
Shadowman can finally have a chance to have a fully developted character. From a Kuperdroid, to a ninja to a hero.
He can learn from his lessons and learn to love his brothers.
But please...don't let him die. Don't let ANYONE die. That would be the worst move you could make in this comic. And you would loose a lot of your fans. You've got ONE chance on this story. One. Chance.
Grab your chance and go wild with the ideas for the robot masters. They can finally show their full potential, comedy, drama and love with this. And it would be such a shame...if you screwed it up.
Megaman is more mature and deep than anyone realizes. And I want something beautifull as this...to be remembered.

Terra(OH SHIT): Explain yourself Kuiper droid, you have 3 minutes to. If i am not pleased with your reasoning, YOU will face destruction.
Shadowman: I was unable to protect my master. I faced against oppenents stronger than me and will take full responsibility for the master's fate.
Terra: Though your excuse IS plausable, seeing the strength of these opponants, your fate lies with Lord Trio
Shadowman: Trio!? The Traitor in the Star Marshalls. When did this happen?
Terra: Not too long ago, Kuiper Droid. Now, come along.
Templar: HOLD IT!!!!! That is my FRIEND your taking away.
Terra: O Really, what can you do to me?! I accept your challenge, weakling
Templar: *GLASS BREAK* WEAKLING!!!!?????
*OOOONNNNEEEEE PPPPUUUUNNNNCCCCCCHHHHHHH*
Templar: *Assering dominiance* You can call nerd, and you can an asshole. BUT NEVER, EEEVVVEERRR, Call. Me . A. Weakling
???: Impressive, I will spare you and "Shadowman", for now. Return Terra,you are needed else whe...................
*Terra has been owned*
???: someone retrieve him
( Remember that bad robot from Megaman 8? Well, I think he takes over the Staroids following the death of Ra Moon because, WHY NOT?)(Oh yeah, Apparently his name is Trio)

I read that arc recently. Yeah...It was really dark and kind of scary. But at the same time, I honestly feel like that's what made it so great. Still can't believe Blues actually shot Roll, though. Gods, that scene was so sad.
And while I haven't gotten as far as the issue with Shadowman and MegaMan's encounter in the MM3 arc yet, I do share your hope that we get to see a deep emotional struggle with Shadow in regards to his past life and the life he leads now. That would certainly make for a great scene, I think. Love this image, by the way!

Yeah... My mom... She has this issue with making me wait long periods of time for books like these for some reason. I guess she doesn't realize the longer we wait, the harder it is to find the ones I need in the series. Thankfully, she was nice enough to look and get Issues 13-32 for me for my birthday. Bad news? Ended up reading through all of them within just two nights. Stories were that good, I guess
.
Ah well, part of that is my fault too. I decided to hold off asking for more books because my Mom's old laptop went on the fritz in which it wouldn't even turn on anymore, so she needed to get a new one. Of course, I plan on asking her for the rest of the issues that are out already today and see if we can find them to complete my collection thus far. Quick question, by the way: Did Issues 45-49 come out yet?
Also, Z, no worries. You didn't really spoil anything for me if that's what you are worried about.

Why wait for them at the store? Just buy them on google play.
Or better yet, read them on youtube. You've got some catching up to do.
And the next issue, 48 will come out next wednesday.
I hope.

I could do that... But to be fully honest, I don't really see much point in reading comics off the Internet. Why only pull it up every other time I'm online when I'm on my computer when I can have the physical issue itself at my bedside so I can pick it up and read it whenever I like? As for Google Play, I think I would need some sort of IPhone or tablet device... ...which I do not have. Self-inflicted wounds, I know. But I am stubborn like that.
Also, it isn't too difficult to find old issues. Mom pretty much found all of them off EBay. All of them in really good condition too.

Ohhh, now I see. I would still rather get them via EBay or Archie's online store even, but still, thank you. I appreciate it.

Yeah, cant wait for the MMV, Ian himself said that was the arc he's personally excited to take on. I can really see Shadow Man playing a big part in the arc will have to wait for like what, 5 years before this happens?

Yeah not dissing the arcs before it, I even looking forward to Cossack's rise to world conquest. Just making an approximation based on the gaps between the past games. We don't even know if there will be another crossover in between.
