On December 12, 2014, a teaser poster was unveiled revealing Mega Man X and Sticks the Badger encountering each other, indicating that, in addition to the standard Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog/ Sonic Universe series, the Sonic Boom and Mega Man X universes at least will collide with each other as well. You saw what happened when worlds collided, now see what happens when Worlds Unite! And this time, no universe will be safe."
That historic crossover storyline changed the comic book worlds of Sega and Capcom's iconic video game characters forever, but now an even bigger event is on the horizon. "When the worlds of Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man collided in the pages of Archie Action comics, readers, fans and retailers made it the biggest crossover event in Archie Action history. Like in the previous crossover, the story was written by Ian Flynn and all cover artwork for the issues partaking within the crossover was drawn by Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante. In the lead up to the crossover's premiere, the various Archie Comics franchises that are connected to the crossover had a countdown on the cover listing how many issues it has before it enters the crossover: issue 47 of the Mega Man franchise was three issues before the start of the crossover, while the various Sonic series ( Sonic Boom issue 6, Sonic the Hedgehog issue 271, and Sonic Universe issue 74) were two issues before the start of the crossover.
The hint towards Worlds Unite in Mega Man #43. The premise had earlier been foreshadowed in the Off-Panel strip in the first issue of Sonic the Hedgehog since the Worlds Collide crossover's end, where Sonic, after returning to his story, discovers the dreary events of what was occurring, and made plans to stay at Mega Man's place for "the next crossover." The crossover was also hinted at in Mega Man issue 43, when Xander Payne, while insanely ranting about the future he saw and etching his visions onto his cell wall with a makeshift shiv, ominously states that "worlds will collide again." It was later confirmed that the Mega Man X and Sonic Boom universes would also be involved.
