The Search for Everlasting Peace Comes in Mega Man #55 [Preview]

It's been a long time coming, but the temporary end of Archie's Mega Man comic is almost here. Over the last five years, we've been there through thick and thin with the Blue Bomber, and it's going to be strange not to have him around on a regular basis after Mega Man #55 hits. That said, the creative team is going all with this finale, introducing a host of new worlds for the first time in comic book form.

While Mega Man won't be gone forever (Archie Comics is promising this is just a temporary reprieve), there's no telling just when he'll return either. It's fitting then that this issue is dubbed "Everlasting Peace," as the original game's opening cheered the blue champion on to "fight for everlasting peace!" It seems that after 54 issues of tackling Dr. Wily's most nefarious plans, Rock has finally accomplished that goal.

You can check out the preview pages below, including a look at the world of Mega Man Zero, while you wait for the issue to drop on Dec. 23. Also, be sure to check back on release day for our exclusive interview with the creative team of this landmark issue.

And here's Archie's official solicitations for this momentous issue:
