Udon Releasing Mega Man Gigamix

I can't remember when the last Mega Man game came out. Part of it is because it's not really a game I play anymore and the other part is that I'm pretty sure most of the incarnations released recently were for handhelds. I do remember (well, I do now at least) when the next incarnation of Mega Man in manga form his stores, thanks to the upcoming Mega Man Megamix beast.

The epic, 3-volume saga clocks in at a whopping 600 pages. Gigamix Vol. 1 features Mega Man facing off against the Robot Masters of Mega Man 3 in addition to the Gamma robot. This serves as a prelude for Gigamix Vol. 2 and 3, where the robots all unite to defend Earth against the Stardroids. In these two volumes you'll find all robots from the first eight Mega Man games in addition to Bass, Treble, Proto Man, Duo, Rush, Beat, Roll, Dr. Wily, Dr. Cossack, Dr. Light and Mega Man.

The tome hits stores May 4. Interiors and full press release after the jump.
