For some reason, the end of Beauty and the Beast just played out with these characters. Cogsworth! It's been ages!
This series has been consistently amazing since day one! I look forward to it every time it shows up in my Comixology pull.
I for one would be okay with Archie doing their own thing and spinning off Megaman into a universe of their own. Mostly because that's the most action the Blue Bomber will get in the foreseeable future anyhow.

Oh man. Dr. Cossack. I always kinda liked him, for whatever reason, even though he is a complete non-character and only shows up in Mega Man 4.
I may have to start reading this comic.

"Right away, flashes of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog and its overwhelming bloated supporting cast flittered across my mind."
Please god no. Don't let Mega Man end up with a dysfunctional fandom like Sonic ended up with.

Well that's incredibly unfair.
Yes, Flynn works on Sonic. No he is not the one that made that book's cast so big. He's created new characters sparingly, and while he didn't get rid of the cast glut that was in place when he came to the book, he's done a remarkably good job organizing things, so that instead of millions of characters wandering around willy-nilly there are distinct and manageable factions. Instead of letting the universe stay filled with useless ciphers, he's done a good job fleshing those characters out into things that could actually be useful in a story.
He's continued this trend with Mega Man. Wily is very clearly the main villain, and has been the antagonist nonstop for the last year, but things would get old fast if the book was just Mega Man endlessly fighting Wily and his robots, so we're getting some new bad guys (that are a nod to the old cartoon) while giving Wily a little time to lick his wounds and figure out his next step.
And while the games did develop a huge cast, 99.99999% of the cast members could be described as "a robot Wily built or reprogrammed". Flynn's using them, but he needs a little variety, and so far that variety has consisted of two pun-named cops there to represent the police officers Mega Man supposedly kept handing Wily over to in the games, and one whole new scientist bringing along her (apparently defective) robot. I doubt they'll be becoming main characters, but there's no getting around the fact that if he JUST used the original Mega Man games for his cast, the book would quickly turn into a bigger sausagefest than 300.
It's just kinda lame to think he's going to be hearing "oh are you going to make this just like the Sonic book?" every time he considers using a character not from the games in the next few years, because of a mess other people made of that particular book.
