"I think it's a plan that's not just madness and insanity, but in fact transcends them and becomes the shape of a lawnmower."
—John "Blues" McQueen
"And let me tell you, if you think [In Wily's Defense] is your average Mega Man sprite comic, slap yourself and think again."
—Alan Solivan

In Wily's Defense is a completed Sprite Comic by Mike Renner centered on the concept of if the roles of Dr. Wily and Dr. Light of the classic Mega Man games were reversed?i.e., Dr. Wily is a roboticist-turned-Twinkie factory owner that only wants a quiet life (but does a fairly poor job at it), while Dr. Light is a megalomaniacal Mad Scientist dead-set on killing every last one of the Wilys. Throw in a loud, lazy egotistical God and his Angels of Love, Death, Destruction and Fate, and, well, guess what happens next.

About halfway into IWD's third season, Renner began its sequel, Tales of Southtown, another sprite comic primarily focusing on the Seraphim, the children of the three female Angels (who have been promoted to Goddesses), and a few characters from Fatal Fury, The King of Fighters, and one from Street Fighter. ToS was discontinued due to a lack of a concrete plot.

IWD was started again four years after the original series, and takes a Darker and Edgier turn of events.

These Webcomics provide an example of:

 Kiki: "Okay, seriously. Why is it that I'm physically or mentally abused even in my own flashbacks?"

 Blues: "This ISN'T the internet, you fascist Nazi pigdog!"

Napalm Man: "You lose."

  • The Grim Reaper: who's also a part-time weatherman with a love for tornadoes and hurricanes

  Death: "Go towards the tornado for an extra life! They want to be your friends!"

 Dr. Light: "I hope you know that I never liked you."

Amy: And I hope you know that I think you're an old, fat blight on humanity whom, if he were to suddenly explode and disappear, would not be missed by ANYONE.

Dr. Light: "Hey, I'm not fat!"

  "Yeah, but I'm insane. What's your excuse?"

 Terry Bogard: "You look like the douchebag hellspawn of Uncle Sam and some two-cent Japanese whore."

Geese Howard: "My mother was American. And five dollars."

 Mega Man: "Look, Little Timmy can just go fend for himself. I'm tired of him falling down the well!"
