Mega Man #22

Archie's Mega Man #22 brings the chill with "Cold Crush," and the cover — penciled by Jamal Peppers and inked by Gary Martin — captures the tension perfectly: Mega Man charges forward with his Mega Buster raised while a large robotic foe looms close, shards of ice flying everywhere. In the corner, Roll and a frosty robot companion look on with wide-eyed concern amid icy surroundings, teasing the bonus story about Ice Man and Roll promised right on the cover. Part two of the "Worlds Collide" crossover event, this 2013 issue delivers the kind of energetic, all-ages action that made Archie's Capcom collaboration such a treat.
