Publisher's Summary
The showdown to end 'em all is finally here!

"The Ultimate Betrayal" Part Four: The cataclysmic conclusion! Dr. Light built Gamma to be the definitive answer to all global disasters—unfortunately it looks like all of its power might just be turned against poor Mega Man! As the battle rages, the entire castle stronghold begins to collapse. How will anyone get out of this one alive—and will they at all? Don’t miss the epic conclusion to this Mega Man 3 game adaptation storyline, featuring new cover art from fan-favorite Brent McCarthy and a special Capcom art variant!

Summary
The story begins with Gamma bursting through a wall in pursuit of Mega Man and Rush, who fly on Rush Jet. As Mega Man begins an attack, he chastises Wily for using Gamma as a weapon instead of Light's dream to help people, but Wily claims that Gamma is helping him benefit the world under his leadership. As Mega Man fires off his Special Weapons, he remembers talking with Dr. Light about how to fight Gamma. Light comments that Gamma is meant to be unstoppable, but Wily wouldn't have time to arm it and suggests Mega Man use his size and arsenal to find a weak point.

Unable to even scratch Gamma's pain, Mega Man uses Time Stopper to look for a weak joint, but is unable to find anything before it wears off.

Trivia

 * This is the eighth Mega Man comic to be printed in the "Archie Action Series" style.
 * Although the story arc is based on the original Mega Man 3, the variant cover uses the Japanese cover art from the Game Boy Mega Man III.
