I went digging and couldn't turn up anything, substantial or otherwise, about Matt Moylan. I need to know how low to place my expectations for my second favorite mega men, because it sounds like "pretty damn low"
Matt Moylan is the Director of Publishing over at Udon. He's been there for ages. He's also a total reactionary.
To give full context, this is gonna get a little long.
Moylan is perhaps best known for the Transformers fancomic Lil Formers, which was popular in the '00s and is still the namesake of his Twitter account to this day. This isn't super important here, but allow me to go on a tangent because it's where a lot of people know the guy from, and it's mildly more entertaining than just screencapping his tweets. The comic was basically just an excuse for him to draw a bunch of chibi Transformers that people would then use in forum signatures and whatnot. Sometimes he would attach his cranky old geewunner opinions and complain about art style changes or new female characters in the dialogue, if he wasn't just making a generic joke about Wheelie being annoying or Seaspray having a silly voice or whatever.
Comedy gold, I know.
Lil Formers was well known within the fandom. Geewunners and kids who didn't know any better and just liked the chibi Transformers (guilty) loved it. Other fans grew more annoyed by Moylan's schtick. As far back as 2009 TFWiki contributor David Willis mocked it in a strip from his own webcomic, Shortpacked:
His wiki page on TFWiki also recounts a bizarre old bit of fandom drama. Moylan had previously worked for the defunct comic publisher Dreamwave, who published the Transformers comics in the early '00s, and in 2006 he went on popular Transformers forum TFW2005 to make several claims about behind the scenes conflicts and unfulfilled story plans. Most bizarre was a claim that Autobot Sunstreaker was supposed to be gay in the Dreamwave comics, which was written off as a childish attempt to rile up the fandom. His claims were all disputed by the Dreamwave writers he was shit talking, who would also accuse Moylan of anonymously slandering them and sending them threatening emails. Swell guy!
Anyway, hopefully this isn't surprising to literally anyone who's been on a forum in the last decade, but this nerd who won't shut up about the Good Ol' Days of the '80s is now a reactionary conservative who complains about how they're making everything "woke." And unfortunately he's no longer just some guy drawing dumb little one-panel comics about Transformers, he's now overseeing all of the output at Capcom's go-to comic and art book publisher in North America.
Here's some of his tweets to illustrate what he's like these days.
Yes, that's a reply to Mark "Grummz" Kern. He's also chatted up accounts like Libs of Tiktok and Comicsgate ringleader Ethan Van Sciver. Also note the reply in which he tries to tell Greg Weisman himself that Gargoyles had "not an ounce of woke." This guy's brain is fucking cooked.
Here's a take he posted about The Boys, too, just because it's really fucking funny to me:
After I and several other people posted about his behavior over on Bluesky and expressed disinterest in buying anything from Udon (such as the new Mega Man comics), he deleted his Twitter for like a week. He's since restored it, the tweets in question now long gone. Clearly it wasn't a good look for him to be making statements about his employer's values like this, sometimes in the same breath as announcements about new comics. That being said, he's issued no actual apology for his statements, and Udon hasn't acknowledged it at all. There's no reason to believe he's had a change of heart. They're just gonna pretend he never said any of this. And as of a few days ago, he's been announced as the writer for the one-shot Mega Man ZX comic that Udon is putting out later this year. Yaaaayyyy
I know there are a lot of cool people working on stuff for Udon, but Moylan being in a position of power there means I have zero interest in giving that company money. When your Director of Publishing is over on Twitter trying to court an audience of reactionary nerds and proudly proclaiming that Udon is "anti-woke, anti-DEI," and then you go to their website and the first image you see is this...
...Look, I love huge boobs as much as the next bisexual furry pervert, but this particular image in conjunction with his tweets paints a pretty clear picture of what sort of values Moylan is pushing at Udon. He wants to cater to nerds who will buy softcore Street Fighter hentai thinking it'll own the libs.
So hey, if he doesn't want my dirty woke money, fine by me. I'm not touching anything Udon publishes as long as Matt Moylan still works there.
EDIT JULY 25th, 2026: This post is still getting passed around as a source on why people hate Matt Moylan and Udon in the wake of the news that Udon is reviving Archie Mega Man, so I might as well add some more recent developments here, in case there was any doubt what kind of person Moylan is and what kind of company he wants Udon to be.
On the same day as the Archie Mega Man news, Udon also announced they were going to Kickstart a crossover comic between Street Fighter and a series called Kamen America.
You probably haven't heard of Kamen America. To put it bluntly, it's some right wing Comicsgate bullshit courtesy of Timothy Lim and Mark Pellegrini, two names you surely don't know because they exclusively make bullshit like Kamen America. It tells the story of a woman named Carly Vanders, who looks like this:
Yes, this is literally just an anime-ified, extra horned up expy of Carol Danvers created by some losers who are still bitter that her modern Captain Marvel costumes show less skin than her old Ms. Marvel one with the sash.
The opening scene tells an origin story about how as a kid her evil feminist teacher told her that girls can do all the same things as boys (the horror!) and forced her to play sports instead of sewing or baking like she wanted to, because if she did traditionally feminine things she'd set a bad example blah blah blah, I checked out there. Later she gets superpowers and starts fighting in a skimpy outfit. It's complete drivel from a team of flagrant misogynists. The icing on the cake is the opening quote about "serving truth, goodness, and beauty" from none other than Doug TenNapel, the creator of Earthworm Jim who in recent years is mostly known for being a huge MAGA bigot on Twitter.
The entire thing is just in-group signifiers for Comicsgaters, but in case that's too subtle for you, they also made this:
No, this is not just a joke drawing. It's the cover of a whole comic depicting Donald Trump as "Wall-Might." It has five whole ratings on Amazon and they made two more issues after that.
So yeah, Moylan is using his position at Udon to try and throw the weight of the Street Fighter brand behind this no-name softcore hentai MAGA bullshit to legitimize it and give his Comicsgate buddies a bump.
I don't begrudge Ian Flynn for taking the paycheck to continue Archie Mega Man at Udon when times are so tough for freelancers, but all of this means I can't in good conscience give Udon my money. Every dollar they make is leverage for Moylan to turn Udon into a safe haven for the bigots that the rest of the comic industry has disowned.
In case you're wondering why I'm not giddily celebrating the unexpected return of Archie Mega Man, here's a newly updated rundown on why the specific publisher it's happening through makes it feel like the result of a monkey's paw wish
I heard about a deity of sorts at the local Cracker barrel. I drove the 20 minutes to get there in my shitty car, walked past the old crackers at the door smiling greedily at my young son… but what I saw inside took my breath away.
I am a changed woman, I feel insane right now, like I just truly found god or something, her beauty knows no bounds. Her grace is endless. She’s battery powered and can be taken on the go, I had to have her. As I write this long stupid ass post I see her glowing and sparkling next to my bed… and now you shall see her too…
Over 90% of parents of visibly intersex children opt for cosmetic surgery on their infants.
The ones that don't experience medical violence then, likely experience it as a teenager.
I didn't.
I am very rare in that I did not experience medical violence.
Why? Because I learned what intersexuality was as a young age, and I actively fought against what doctors wanted to do to me. All the way down to legal research on what medical care minors can be forced into. I remember walking into that doctor's appointment with the state law written down that proved that if I did not consent they could not do surgery.
That is why intersex activism is important. It saved me and it will save more.
Playing Fallout 4 in survival mode is surprisingly immersive I spent two ingame days building my house and as soon as I turned off god mode I instantly died because I forgot to eat drink or sleep the entire time
and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.
^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.
