But just how can robots handle the force of a technological meltdown if they’re cut off from the ability to re-charge? Has Mega Man fallen right into Dr. Wily’s trap? Or has Wily underestimated his mysterious new ally? Featuring all-new cover art from Patrick “SPAZ” Spaziante, and variant cover by comics-superstar Dean Haspiel!

The Curse of Ra Moon - Part One: Bad Moon Rising
Mega Man awakens inside a tube in Light Labs, where Dr. Light, Pedro Astil, and Plant Man have been working to bring him back online. Mega Man is confused, and Light explains that all technology in the world has shut down two weeks ago because on an electromagnetic wave. Due to this, the damage Roll received from Break Man can't be repaired, and with her condition getting worse, she may shut down permanently. Mega Man asks what is causing the wave and how he can solve it, but they have no clue, except for one guess. Mega Man is introduced to Dr. Pedro Astil and Plant Man, who were vital in creating the liquid coating that is protecting Mega Man from the waves. Pedro tells him about an event that happened four years ago. In the heart of Amazon, an earthquake bringed the Lanfront Ruins to the surface, intact. Knowing it was not natural, the United Nations assembled a research team to investigate the site, with Pedro being part of the team. When approaching the ruins, an electromagnetic wave knocked down their helicopters, injuring several members, some not making it back.

Later, Auto is also coated by the liquid, and everyone works to repair the other robots. Rush, Cut Man, Bomb Man, and Guts Man are brought back online, and the four, alongside Mega Man, go to the Amazon rainforest, where they see several of Dr. Wily's Robot Masters.

Short Circuits
Every robot in the world shut down, except Plant Man. Mega Man asks why, and the robot says he has an embarrassing back-up system. Plant Man is then shown inside a pot, being watered by Pedro while Dr. Light brings a fertilizer bag.

Events

 * Mega Man is brought back online thanks to a special liquid created by Dr. Light and Pedro, that allows technology to withstand Ra Moon's EMP Wave.
