Sigma sends his legions out to various worlds to place a Unity Engine
in order to feed Sigma’s final transformation. The Unified Army follows them to
those worlds, taking down Sigma’s troops and engines with the help of those
worlds’ heroes, and recruiting them for the final battle against Sigma to save
all of reality.
GRADE: B+. Part 10 of the
12-part event spanning the entire Archie Action! line of comics. This issue
takes the characters to various worlds of Sega
and Capcom games. Many are well-known,
others more obscure that only long-time and hardcore gamers will remember or
recognize. Outside of recruiting for the Unified Army, not much happens
story-wise, but again Ian Flynn seems to effortlessly balance all the
characters featured (and there are many) in what amounts to an all-too-brief
space for each. Sticks is quickly becoming the Deadpool of the Archie world,
with her ability to break the fourth wall, know she’s a work of fiction, and
even to simultaneously be on two teams in two different worlds. The artwork by
Tyson Hesse, Jim Amash and Matt Herms accurately brings out the Japanese
origins of the featured characters, giving them a hint of manga styling and
keeping them true to their character models.
