When Worlds Collide: Prequel

 * Next Part (Mega Man #24)

At All Costs Part One: Fate Interrupted
Determining that Sally Acorn was the one who betrayed the Freedom Fighters, but not of her own free will, Silver the Hedgehog joined Team Freedom (consisting of Sonic, Tails and Amy) and the Arctic Freedom Fighters in saving Mecha Sally. Both groups travel an underwater tunnel to reach Dr. Eggman's Northern Tundra base.

Eggman sends Mecha Sally and the Egg Swats to deal with both teams, while ordering Orbot to prepare the Interdimensional Gateway.

Shorty after, Silver manages to disable Mecha Sally, only for the Genesis Wave to wash over the world.

For the Bot Who Has Everything
The comic omits everything from the main title to Mega Man warning Break Man to leave the residents of Mega City alone. Everything from Mega Man's chasing of Break Man up to the cliffhanger is presented in the book.
