Ian Flynn and Patrick “SPAZ” Spaziante said the following

When the worlds of Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man collided in the pages of Archie Action comics, readers, fans and retailers made it the biggest crossover event in Archie Action history,” he said in a prepared statement. “That historic crossover storyline changed the comic book worlds of Sega and Capcom’s iconic video game characters forever, but now an even bigger event is on the horizon. You saw what happened when worlds collided, now see what happens when Words Unite! And this time, no universe will be safe…”

Well, there goes three or four issues of the main comic and Universe that I'll be ignoring.... Seriously, are they trying to turn readers away from the comic?

No need to worry. The second crossover is going to be its own series of issues, so there'll be no interruptions.

Also, it appears that it won't interrupt the current story-arc, since the shattered Mobius also appears on the crossover cover.

IT BETTER NOT INTTERUPT.

Then I have no problem with it.  

 

My biggest issue with the last crossover is it went on too long as an interruption of the main story on both Mega Man and Sonic.  If they kept it to Universe I wouldn't care much because honestly I haven't been caring much about Universe anyways lately.  

 

But a crossover event like this should have it's own special issues. That way those who are invested in the main story aren't put on hold for the crossover and those only interested in the crossover still have a jumping on point if needed.  

 

Also to anyone whom might be upset by the another crossover so soon, Marvel comics crossover about 4-5 times a year.

I'm sure that Sally and her freedom fighters will be in the crossover story... are they? :/

It hasn't been confirmed yet, but from the looks of things, it's certainly possible. And if that's the case, we may also get the Archie-exclusive "Mega Man" characters, like Quake Woman and Gilbert Stern, in on the action as well.

I can’t help but wonder what “Worlds Unite” means though. Could both universes be merging together somehow? If so, will it be blending their continuities? Or will it be like DC/Marvel’s “Amalgam” series, we're all elements were combined into one? Or perhaps both worlds will be forced to team together to fight an even larger threat? Who knows?

My guess is this will be a spin off so it wont interrupt the series going on now where everything is temp. combined into one and they both have to face off against X villian, which i'm assuming its Willy and Robotnik Eggman again

[LogiTeeka]

Well, this got me more excited!

[ILOVEVHS]

So the X characters and the Boom characters are involved too?!

Officially yes.

 

I wanna see how well Flynn will juggle 4 timelines instead of two

[Ogilvie]

Since Ian's a fan himself, I ponder if he's going to drop references to the storm within the fandom that Boom's caused.

If nothing else, I request Sonic make fun of Boom Sonic's sports tape as "bandages" or the like, only to be corrected.

I don't see how this is a good idea. Sonic Boom is a cast of jokey-joke silly characters who are going to be mixing with a kind of serious war period X lives in.

They don't seem that uneven to me. I mean, the "Boom" series has had its share of serious moments, and likewise, the MMX series has its sillier moments.

Even then, it's still bound to be interesting considering the mixes of entirely different tones each series presents. You have the more serious series (Mega Man X and Archie Sonic) mixing with more light-hearted series (Classic Mega Man and Sonic Boom). That seems like a pretty fair playing-field if you ask me.

The hell you talking about. The last episode had everyone with Eggman mustaches.

Yeah, and SatAM had Antoine get traumatized over a serving of margarine on escargot. Your point was...?

"Boom", despite being a comedy-driven series, has had a few serious moments. Nearly all of "Rise of Lyric" was presented in a much more serious narritive, and the first episode of the series had a tender scene of Sonic rescuing Tails from his plane crash. They're not the main focus, but they're there to give the series some semblance of reality.

The fact that game was made is a comedy in itself. But no, your wrong again. There is no seriousness in any of it. Its all a big joke. Nothing matters in any of it. They don't even take Lyric seriously who is supposed to be the straight villain.

You must have a different memory of the game than I do, because I don't recall Lyric ever being played for laughs in the games. Out of the whole cast, he's the only one treated like the serious threat which he presents.

Compared to Lyric, SatAM Robotnik had more jokes and gags catered towards him. The bits with him getting flustered or upset, the verbal abuse from Snively, and the many times different characters commented about his overweight body. You also had that out-of-place, "Ren & Stimpy"-style closeup scene with Snively sticking his entire head into his mouth.
