Official Solicitation[]

The battle rages on! Based on the legendary game Mega Man 3 comes "Legends of the Blue Bomber," Part Two. We've seen Mega Man battle Robot Masters before, but now see the fight unfold from the perspectives of the villainous robot adversaries themselves! Shadow Man recalls his humble beginnings and how they brought him to his deadly duel with Mega Man! Gemini Man is ready to ambush our hero with his hologram copies! But while the battle rages on, Break Man is behind the scenes on a mission of his own - why is he hunting down Dr. Wily's first set of Robot Masters? Featuring all-new cover art from Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante, and part 2 of a 3-part connecting "Super Smash" collector cover set!

Plot[]

Legends of the Blur Bomber: Part 2 - With Loyalty, With Reflection[]

Short Circuits[]

Shadow Man was holding a large shadow blade and tells mega to feel the wrath of it. Since it was heavy, it dropped and Shadow Man falls to the ground. Mega Man notices that the blades are in smaller forms but Shadow Man tells him to shut up, presumably to possibly explain that he might knew about them.

Trivia[]

This is the only two Mega Man Issues (along with Mega Man #41) that are released on the same month. (Mega Man #41 was released on October 1, 2014 due to two weeks of delays)
The Variant Cover, along with the Variant Covers of Sonic the Hedgehog #266 and Sonic Universe #65, combine together to create the "Super Smash Variant". This was done to promote Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U.
