For how mandate restricted these comics supposedly are, they sure lack synergy with the brand as a whole. The Sonic Generations port, Roblox, Sonic Prime, the third movie and even the live symphony event are all over here hyping up Shadow for his anniversary, but the comics are doing... Whatever this is.
I don't even like Shadow much past SA2, but jeez, read the room.
>>
>>144255001
It's a good thing they aren't jerking that edgy faggot off there. It's already obnoxious as is with everything else.
>>
>>144255031
I can't imagine still having such passionate feelings for the character to this day, positive or negative. But it's clearly a brand wide agenda and the comics are ignoring it. Why? Or more accurately, how? They got interns designing new outfits for Shadow in the mobile games but the comics pretty much benched the character.
>>
>>144255086
Muh mandates.
>>
>>144255086
Maybe because it was a sudden thing that came out of nowhere and the comics are doing their long form storytelling and already planned arcs?
>>
>>144255139
They started this hype train with the teaser at the end of the second movie two years ago and even planned the climax of the nation wide symphony event around it. The comics have turn around THAT slow? Even with these wimpy little arcs post metal virus?

Idk man, but they clearly have their own plans and the cringe campaign appeared not too long ago this year. If they really want to shill him so badly, I could see them pulling a fang with stopping the main comic again for months. Which would just be shitty and obnoxious cuz it's shadow.
>>
>>144255185
I genuinely think they might be. Remember, they are pretty much still doing Forces debriefing stuff. The restoration is literally referring to restoring the world from Forces.

Do they?
Do the IDW comics actually have plans? I don't get that impression. Belle in particular makes me think this shit is written issue to issue with no broad narrative in mind. And this current Riders story feels like padding comparable to the story modes in the Mario and Sonic Olympic games.

>long form storytelling and already planned arcs
"Oh no, there's a rich guy who wants to destroy the good guys by hiring other bad guys to infiltrate their ranks!" is not an intricate and well-thought-out arc. In fact I'd wish they'd get rid of the whole arc and do an attempt at salvaging Shadow's character from the "shoddy Vegeta clone" rut Potto has written him into.
>>
>>144255408
>Ian was a consultant for Prime.
He was a consultant very early in production, but it's clear the final show ended up veering off from the original notes he offered since he openly doesn't like talking about Prime.
>>

You're getting a yet another retread of Shadow shit in the new remaster. What more do you want?

Why is IDW just filler now?

wow
>>
>>144255666
He hasn't been genuinely edgy since like his Boom appearance, which it itself was a weird outlier. In Forces the worst he does is bully an armed main villain who had it coming. In Team Racing he's a parody of edginess. In Prime he's the voice of reason and wants to fix the universe.
>>
The biggest kick I got out of this was looking at all the background characters ABT threw in. Its crazy these artists are getting wasted on coloring book-level stories.
>>
>>144255651
Making donut steele's to jerk off to is literally what the entire Sonic fandom has been subsisting on for the past decade. It's the only thing left.

Its not overcorrection, its the writers not wanting to commit to a story because they dont know how close the comic is to be canned.
>>
You know what grinds my gears, that the comic refuses to pass post Sonic Frontiers.
We gat references to previous modern Sonic titles up to Sonic Forces, but also cameos by Barry the Quokka from TMOSTH. Which explicitly takes place after Sonic Frontiers.
Fucking pick one, you could handwave it taking before Sonic Frontiers if one of the artists didn't insert their OC.
But wait, that would taking a lot of changes, and removing Belle as she'd be redundant.
>>
>>144256447
Or just that its Evan. She doesn't strike me as much of a forward thinker.
>>
What is with this stalling? It's not like this is a break from a high stakes, serious storyline. The main book is dragging it's feet too. And the Fang mini was mostly inconsequential too.
>>
>>144256465
Yeah bugs me too. Closest thing to being current was making the Fang mini seem like a lead into Super Stars but when you think about it, it really was not, it just happened to star an existing character who was in that game.
>>
>>144256824
Most likely reason
>>144256447
>>
>>144256900
So why isn't that stopping TMNT?
>>
>>144256915
IDW has been putting a lot of money into TMNT because they need something to make them money. Not only are there comics coming out but there's that Last Ronin game and probably something else. If that fails so will the company. They might even still fail because they're still losing money.
>>
>>144256966
So are DC and Marvel, you gonna call them about to die too?
>>
>>144256915
Cause TMNT is making money and it even has a game being worked on that uses the Last Ronin setting, so that original content shows a lot more promise compared to what was created in IDW Sonic.
>>
>>144256980
So then the Sonic writers have no reason to worry about getting canned.
>>
>>144256976
>Marvel
They got the mouse's money to fall back on.
As for DC I have no idea whats giving them so much security to keep pumping out crap.
>>
>>144256976
They are owned by massive companies using them for merchandise sales. Comics have always made a fraction of their money from actual comics. IDW has none of that. They're a multimedia company that has had a string of bad deals and cancellations and they're relying on licensed comics to make some kind of money in other mediums.

>Amy's bare buttcheeks resting on the owl's arm

>>
>>144254605
Sonic specifically is into flowers, it's his main "nerd hobby"
>>
>>144256993
They're real concern is IDW as a whole going out of business. TMNT is doing well for them but it wasn't enough to stop them from losing millions this past year.
>Sales in the publishing segment were up year over year, to $26.6 million in fiscal 2023 from $25.8 million in fiscal 2022, largely due to growth in sales of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin. Sales in the entertainment segment dropped to near zero: $64,000 in fiscal 2023, down from $10.3 million in fiscal 2022. Company-wide revenues reflected the drop in entertainment sales, down to $26.7 million from $36.1 million in the previous year. IDW has begun allocating more of its expenses to unallocated corporate expenses, making the losses by segment not comparable to the previous year.
>>
>>144257039
>IDW is doing fine enough that they can plan ahead
I dont know where you are getting that idea when they keep losing money.

What I mentioned regarding the TMNT would be beneficial for their TMNT works.
If money gets tighter and they have to choose between keeping Sonic or this, the blue hedgehog will definitely get discarded.

They're even diverting funds to other things and trying to raise a couple million to help them stay in business. Shit's looking worse and worse for them but the IDW name could still linger after they stop making stuff. They could maybe look to be bought out by another company.

Considering that SEGA lifted the embargo on humans, they would have them appear in the comic with no issues; yet they refused to show them without them approving an explanation if why they're absent in Forces (Namely, GUN).

And where pray tell are the humans in anything else? Because as far as I can see only the Paramount stuff has humans and that's because they're cutting a nice paycheck for Sega.

It was written by the lead writer of Sonic Team at the time.
>>144259805
With Sega forbidding them from creating new Humans OCs, Evan and the IDW staff figures that they go the Sonic Boom route and make Eggman (and WitchCart) the only humans to appear in that comic. Plus they rather appeals to OC creators by populating it with animal people and never have to worry about drawing them "On Model", which is something Sonic Team often gets away with (though Elise looks like she was drawn the same style as Chris
in Pic related). Plus They rather not address GUN as this would bring up contradictions about Forces and the Metal Virus Saga (where the entire Planet was converted into zombots with the exception of Angel Island at the climax).

Good thing Sonic fans like seeing mobians more than humans then. fans like to bitch about the lack of them but then bitch when humans get any bit of prominence with the major exception of like Eggman of course. So it's always felt kinda fake to me for fans to pretend like they majorly care

Sonic fans ultimately care more for seeing cute furry characters in stories than stuff like boring human military dudes
>>
>>144260819
Granted it would be interesting for the Gun Commander to make a return and strike a deal with the Restoration; or, at the very least, contracted Mimic with a higher pay raise than Clutch to keep an eye on Eggman.
>>
>>144260870
Their top goal after Forces would be pretty much to kill Eggman for what he did and I don't think they'd tolerate people who befriend or work with him
>>
>>144260917
I could see GUN intervenes anyways, pull their arm into co-operation and assign them as janitors to clean up the messes that Eggman (and, often time, Sonic) made. It could also lead to Eggman making deal with Clutch, leading to the opossum being his bitch like all of the criminals in AoStH.
>>
>>144260639
>though Elise looks like she was drawn the same style as Chris
Because the Sonic X humans ARE what they're supposed to look like. Sonic Team was heavily involved with it, and even included ideas cut from the games. Unleashed was just the outlier.

>They rather not address GUN as this would bring up contradictions about Forces and the Metal Virus Saga
They brought them up in TailsTube. Turns out, Eggman destroyed them before Forces.

Considering that Eggman destroy their base on Prison Island only to be rebuilt in Shadow the Hedgehog game, I can confidently say that Gun can be recover easily; just that they're no match for Eggman no matter what they do.

As of Now, we have no confirmation that GUN is no longer exist post Forces and that the Restoration is the new World Military. Though I would like to see them merge with the Remains of GUN.
>>
>>144254538
That's not what "divide and conquer" means. "Divide and conquer" is a military strategy using either cavalry or artillery to split apart a main infantry force into smaller, more easily manageable sizes for a smaller infantry to have a fighting chance of winning. You don't divide your force to conquer, you divide the opposite force to conquer them.

Boy, I sure hope somebody gets fired for this blunder.

I just want to rough up Rough up the butt

It's funny to see ABT being forced to not draw tits on everyone, even though he still snuck one it >>144254572, but it's been all over the place, half the time the characters look like massive 3D bolling ball heads while other times the they look as flat as Sonic X, namely Sonic's 3 quill shit but other angles look like the so called traced 3D models but on Twitter claimed he just mastered the "on model" look and does not trace them, but suddenly it all now look flat as fuck so I'm sus about that.

Anyways, 6/10, didn't care to read what was said, art was mixed as all hell, ranging from alright to nice for some of the OCs, to Amy looks very strange in his style to Sonic X head Sonic.

My guess would be Sega has no guide book on how these characters should be used. As result everything has to be approved up the chain of command which is horrible for story crafting in products that need to be planned months in advance.

Add in one branch deciding to push a new direction at drop of hat and it just isn't worth doing anything risky.

Meanwhile its easy as pie to make asset flip DLC and the movies enshrined their independence from Sega at the start.
>>
When will Ian have a plot about Surges really smelly feet?
>>
>>144257403
>now
It's always been bad. IT was 4 issues of nothing happening and none of the characters did anything or were responsible for anything happening. Nobody had any agency and the story would have played out the same had Sonic and Tails not landed there. It was worse than just uneventful though, it was boring. And for IDW Sonic that is saying something.

It's just because the Scrapnik author lurks here and says shit like >Die like a fucking anime girl. He gets mad whenever people don't suck off his boring story. It's why they won't let him do another one.

Disagree because anime isn't an art style, it's a medium. It's just simple fact it's easier for an anime to look like a anime with Sonic designs from the west slapped on top.

A real design would be the designs Oshima designed for Balan Blunderland. That's Sonic's humans, which looks almost like the ones from that Christmas Sonic Jam special.
>>
>>144262722
Pretty much this, plus with what happened to Archie and Fleetway made it too risky to continue a comic when IDW can easily be killed and all of the characters created for said brand is binned with Sticks and the Freedom Fighters. It's why Sonic Fan Comics were more appealing than the official products; anything can happen.

even with all the sega "mandates", can't they tell basic fucking stories? Monster of the week shit, sonic and friends making their way through a stupid place to find the emeralds, revisiting old places and doing both of the above, maybe even catching up on unvisited concepts/characters.

How is it they consistently do NOTHING with this world or characters. Who gives a shit if shadow can't be friends with people, do a story about him being a cool loner. Or ANYTHING.
>>

It not that Shadow can't make friends, it's just that he doesn't want to go through the pain of losing them like he did with Maria.

I don't see how that means shadow shouldn't do jackshit, or how it prevents them doing any fucking stories with shadow. Like, literally a bare minimum "shadow goes through emerald hill zone dealing with leftover bots sonic and tails never got around to destroying" wouldn't hurt to write about.

Are all the comic staff such narcissistic egomaniacs or is it just you? I have a secret for you. Nobody cares about your story. I feel bad for your co-workers if you assume they're all out to get you.

Just another DEI hire. The staff are all non white, fags or women. Ian is the only normal one there and he was grandfathered in from the Archie days. He's also the only one working on the official games which doesn't seem like a coincidence.

7/10. Pretty good. Trujillo's writing looks like he has background in writing children's comics. Not so, turns out he writes exclusively gay comics.

ABT got to draw freely whatever. A lot of OCs, odd angles and poses. Could've drawn more flowers.
