Mega Man #37

This is "Dawn of X," part one of four — and the cover by Patrick Spaziante makes a bold statement right from the start, placing the classic blue-helmeted Mega Man and the sleeker Mega Man X front and center in a dynamic side-by-side pose. Surrounding them is a striking ensemble of supporting characters, including a menacing villain looming large in the background, a cheerful blonde girl, a white-capped figure, Zero poised on the right, and a grinning antagonist lurking at the bottom. Archie's 2014 crossover between the classic and X eras of Capcom's beloved franchise looks like an ambitious, fan-pleasing celebration of both worlds colliding.
