Mega Man #21

The cover of Mega Man #21 captures the Blue Bomber mid-leap against a dazzling New Year's Eve cityscape, arms raised triumphantly as confetti rains down around him — with Rush and a boombox joining in the festivities below. Titled "Countdown" and part of the "Worlds Collide" crossover event, this 2013 Archie Comics issue brings a genuinely festive energy to the series, with cover pencils by Chad Thomas and inks by Gary Martin giving the scene a bright, celebratory pop. It's a fun snapshot of Mega Man at his most jubilant, marking Capcom's 25th anniversary of the franchise right on the cover.
