If there’s one thing we’ve learned from our years on the Internet, it’s that there’s no aspect of comics that can’t be broken down and quantified in a single definitive list, preferably in amounts of five or ten. And since there’s no more definitive authority than ComicsAlliance, we’re taking it upon ourselves to compile Top Five lists of everything you could ever want to know about comics.

Comic fans and video game fans are two groups that share an awful lot of overlap, and webcomics like Penny Arcade and artists like Zac Gorman, have made all kinds of comics about video games for the internet, but what about actual comic books? In a previous video, we told you about five video games that deserved comics, but this week, it’s all about some of the very best video games that have made the leap from consoles to comic pages.

  • Our very own Dylan Todd wrote this great article on what a big deal Shotaro Ishinomori was. Highly recommended if you're unfamiliar with his work.
  • Our very own Chris Sims has written a number of articles about how great Archie's Mega Man book was and they're all worth reading. Check them out here, here, here, and here.
  • Our very own Luke Brown wrote a comprehensive 12-week recap guide to Archie's Mega Man/Sonic the Hedgehog/Capcom/Sega crossover "World's Unite" that's recommended reading for anyone that enjoyed the event and wants an excuse to revisit it.
  • Our very own Benito Cereno is responsible for a "You Think You Know Comics?" on Mega Man that can be enjoyed here.
