Really surprising choice for Nintendo's next live-action movie adaptation, but I'm exciting to see it!

A view of "Monsteropolis" from HDGG: Mega Man. We decided the throwback name to the original manual would be fun & Capcom approved. I looked over Mega Man X maps for inspiration, and the layout was built around the boss placements on the select screen.

Feels strange to hold the finished product. Hard not to reflect on the whole year+ to get here. Drawing through a slipped disc, PT, juggling other projects, FT job, family, losing our dog. It was a lot. I just wanted to make the best Mega Man book I could. I hope you enjoy it.

Happy 40th anniversary to the NES! In 2006 — 19 years ago now! — I wrote a small book all about the system's launch on October 18, 1985. It got my foot in the door at IGN, leading to the beginning of my game journalism career! (Its digital version is on sale at NFMagazine.com if you're curious!)
