Just finished reading both of the Sonic and Mega Man crossover comics. Boy, what a ride! Really hope that IDW gets ahold of Mega Man’s rights so this can happen again! They should make them into games.
About the additional crossovers in the third act of Worlds Unite though. The SEGA side is pretty good. I don’t think anything is really missing their except arguably Yakuza, but this was back in 2015 and I don’t know if the series was as big back then. Same with no Persona. SEGA has JUST bought them back then and there was probably a lot of red tape and paperwork.
The Capcom side though has two big glaring omissions. No Resident Evil and no Devil May Cry. I realize the series seam a bit mature, but we spent maybe a page in each of the other games universes before going back to the main battle. And there are plenty of tame looking monsters to feature for a single panel. Heck, Dante’s could just be them walking up to his desk and slamming down a blank check. Plus one of the Skues of Arcadia characters was rocking twin pistols. I know UDON gave them special authorization to use Street Fighter characters, so maybe it was a rights thing? But no other comic company has the rights to them in the US as far as I can tell.
Also. It’s a SEGA and Capcom crossover and you didn’t Use this as an opportunity to feature Dante and Bayonetta together? Huge missed opportunity.
But aside from that, 10/10. Highly recommend. Worlds Collide even has part of the villains plot involves temporarily resetting the comic universes to basically match up with the current timeline of the games so it’s perfect for newcomers. Worlds Unite leans a bit more on the expanded supporting cast from the Sonic Archie comics, but you can figure out who’s who and who does what pretty easily and quickly.
