The next issue comes out tomorrow. Seems a bit of a weird date since Halloween is so close and I imagine that’s what most kid’s attention will be on. We know a little bit since the annual takes place afterwards, but what do you guys expect to see? How will the B team take care of Clutch and his goons? What can Sonic do now that he’s been exposed as the phantom rider by Surge? Will Lanolin finally snap and murder somebody in cold blood?
hype? this issue is just going to be like the last issue which was the same as the issue before, nothing happens and we all complain about Ian again
You can't fix her, Anon.
>>146142440Maybe not, but I can die trying
>>146142324>Kit nearly drowns you after thinking you are hurting her when you are just having sexMY SIDES
It already released. Clutch is a JOBBER who JOBBED to charmy bee
>>146142324Whatever bits of Lanolin we get will fuel my Sonolin collection, especially if she's pissed at him. So I'm ready.
Kit is a bottom
Tonight on T̶o̶p̶ ̶G̶e̶a̶r̶ Sonic IDW:The crowd forgives Sonic for being the Phantom Rider,Clutch commits terrorism,And Belle becomes the center stage of the B-plot...somehowOh, the Babylon Rogues and Diamond Cutters are here too
>>146142531Not only that, he also jobbed to random background characters. Grade-A antagonist, huh?
>>146142743More like:Tonight on Sonic IDW:Lanolin is massive bitch,Tangle and Whisper are crying lesbians,And nothing happens
>>146142803Alright, now that I've read it, A is right, and B is partially correct.The B-plot crew, minus Charmy, gets stuck in a vault, Clutch gets exposed to the audience and tackled by extras, Jewel sets the main ship to self-destruct, and Mimic is no longer with Surge and Kit (that was short lived).More did happen than the last issue, I'll give it that.
God I wish "Duo" is exposed already so that Lanolin has no keg to stand on for her argumemts and they can finally call her out instead of Tangle excusing everything that she does
>>146142324

>>146142947
>>146142957Vector doesn’t say y’all evan
>>146142957
>>146142923She's the strong wahmen hecking girlboss character who's never wrong. Evan Dyke-ly wive never gice her commuppance
>>146142965
>>146142976The fact fucking Charmy bee gets more respect than the OC's is hilarious
>>146142976
>>146142974You know I read these threads, too. I'm going to make her extra mean and get away with everthing just to make you mad, chuddy! :)
>>146142988

>>146143001
>>146143009
>>146142976>>146142988>the door opens>clutch and his cronies walk out>everyone just stands around watching him, heroes included>he closes the door locking them inThis is the worst fight scene ever
>>146143014
>>146143024
>>146143031
>>146143014>>146143024“Boo, get on with the race you fag”
>>146143041
>>146142440She seems open to it, though.
>>146143049
>>146143009>>146143014Who the fuck are these peopleWhere is the sonic shit?
Oh wow, the villain fails pathetically before achieving [literally anything], who would have fucking thought?Are they literally not allowed to have a villain other than Eggman be even slgihtly competent?
this is just too boring
>>146143058
>>146143071
>>146143062I don’t even know what he was trying to achieveSomething about stealing the restoration’s files or some shit? Like Tangle’s diary and Whisper’s list of triggerwords
>>146143041>>146143049Jezz Jewel, why would you do that!
>>146143059>SonicYou mean that blue dude from the games or whatever? He's not important next to the adventures of Tangle, Whisper, Nite, and Don.
>>146143078
>>146143078Whisper’s scared shitless she’s about to get another beating from kommandant lanolin
>>146143094
>>146143071OH YEAAAAHHi forgot there was supposed to be an extreme gear race happening
>>146143107Rate it
>>146143094>we’ve got work to doWhy are they still obeying this bitch? Who made her their boss?
>>146143115What the fuck are they even doing/10Like holy fuck. What the hell are they even doing. How can someone be so retarded? Why?

>>146143107>>146143115What plan nigga? All you did was take off sonic’s phantom rider mask and get beat up. None of that fucking led to Nite the Cocksucker doing a CNN podcast on Clutch being Drumpf, none of this is anything you’ve doneThis is incoherent
>>146143115Light Green Crayon / 10The fucking OC Spam has reached parody levels, i don’t know what the fuck they’re doing anymore.
>>146143145Kit must be a supergenius if he knew that removing sonics mask would lead to the airship crashing down
>>146143078>>146143094Mild reaction for what I wabted verween Sonic abd Lanolin, but I'll be looking forward to their conversation.>>146143115New ideas for Sonolin bank/10. The rest usb't too interesting, although I do want bto see more of Surge and Kit's plans.
How much do you want to bet Sonic will say he doesn't care about consequences to Lanolin and then they drop her being mad at Sonic as some sort of fucked up lesson.
>>146143115Death By Boredome/10
>>146143115Like a 8/10. Jewel self destructing a large airship was not very smart on her part!
>>146143157I don't think they are allowed to do anything
>>146143115Eggman hasn't shown up since 69/10the next issue is gonna be contrived as hell, isn't it?
>>146143170Check back in 3 months to finally see the answer! (Lanolin is a little grumpy and decides to forgive Sonic because Lanolin and Whisper do their crying lesbian eyes at her, then they continue doing super cool paperwork as the Diamondcutters)
>>146143115Sonic Amy and Tails only managed to speak 1 line each inbetween the shitty OCs / 10
>>146143115yawn/10A whole issue devoted to Clutch getting outed as an asshole and pushing a button.
FYI the next issues after 75 are still about clutch
Clutch is such a joke of a character holy shit.
>>146143192Ian Mandate:Crying lesbians cannot be absent for more than three pages.Sega mandate: OCs cannot impact the story directly.Great combo!!
>>146143233for the love of fuck pitch to Sega a new villain to use
>>146143298You'll get another Zeti character and like it!
>>146143045ThisI wouldn't give a shit I paid money and wasted one of my sick days to see this race GET ON WITH THE RACE
>>146143240Every single IDW OC is a joke of a characterEvery time they luck into an even slightly interesting concept like Surge, they end up ruining it by making their story an absolute fucking letdown. Can't have cool stuff happen, of course. But they keep forcing them into EVERY SINGLE FUCKING CHAPTER.Like holy fuck, shut up about Rough and Tumble. They're not funny. No one thinks they're funny. They stopped being amusing by the second time they appeared.
>>146143339This is my reaction to just reading thisIt’s an Extreme Gear race story. GET ON WITH THE RACE
>>146143094I really want someone to draw Lanolin as Akainu from One Piece now
>>146143298This is my OC, he is Clutch’s secret twin brother who is even Clutchier and he has 1 Clutchillion DollarsI call him…”El Hermano”
>>146143094Was this dumb bitch really about to try and stop the only person there who could save everyone?
>>146143406Lanolin and the Crying Lesbian Friends would’ve saved everyone
>>146143115Are we sure this is a Sonic comic/10I wish we were on Angel Island Zone/10They don't know I used to go on fun Adventures like Unleashed/10They should just cancel this shit and make a shitty spinoff if they love the OCs so much
>>146143115Eh, it could have been better.Please, tell me the race shit is finished, right?
>>146143014Remember in SA2 when everyone is fighting the government's army of flying rolling mechazoid tank robots in Area 51 military bases and shit and Tails is in a mecha blasting them up across Night City and then they're having life or death battles with evil dopplegangers on a giant space station?Yeah this is about the same methinks. Don't know why everyone isn't loving idw
>>146143414My bad I forgot they have the power of plot armor and OC protection
>Games are reintroducing humans beyond Eggman and exploiting Shadow's hype and popularity, with faces like Black Doom and Mephiles showimg up again.>Comics are... third degree backwash from Riders, starring a 70% OC cast, accomplishing nothing In particular.How did we get here? How did this promotional comic break off so hard from actual promotion? How does it escape? If there's no concern of promoting new content, what hope do we have of this comic gaining momentum again? We're essentially still running off dissipating Forces fumes with this comic, with an OC villain trying to extort the organization born from the aftermath of the Resistance. Why?? Did this comic lose the licence and we just didn't notice?
There is a smell of some samefagging in this thread.
>>146143031This is just a scene from the Lorax movie.Fire Evan right fucking now.
>>146143414they would fly in circles around everyone yelling fire safety tips at them and telling them it's ok to talk about your feelings and Whisper would pass around tissue boxes
>>146143078Uh, what's Mimic supposed to be in trouble for? He hasn't done anything.
>>1461431152/10Holy fuck, this killed the renewed interest I had for these comics that started a few issues ago. Evan built all of this up just for the new antag to… job quickly to fucking Charmy? Seriously? Also, how does Surge know that Duo is Mimic again? I’ll give it this though, at least Evan had enough common sense to not let Lanolin go apeshit until AFTER the civilians are saved. Anyhow, what a waste.
>>146143460The truth is that when you get ridiculously incompetent writers and then add a bunch of insane mandates on top of that, your comic is going to be bad.
>>146143450This plotline is continuing until at least issue 77 in March 2025
>>146143486he didn't report his whereabout to Lanolin every 9 minutes like they all have to since she's the leader (self-appointed)
>>146143501Wrong, Issue 77 is also about Clutch.
Holy shit Evan is worse at writing things happening than she is at writing nothing happeningHow the fuck is this the same chick who wrote that Naugus sidestory
>>146143491clutch told her a long long long long time ago while silver and whisper were crying the restoration, that arc. i don't blame you for not remembering
>>146143520April 2025 thenSurely 78 won't also be about Clutch and the Skunks and the "aftermath" of this nothingness
BEHOLD OUR FEARSOME OC VILLAIN, CLUTCH THE OPPOSUM>stands there>shoots a gun or two>has all his minions doing the fighting>folds like a deck of cardsI want Archie's villains back.
>>146143009>>146143014I would bet £100 the two roasties are more self-insert OCs of Evan's twitter friends
>>146143522It's honeslty impressive how Evan was able to completely and utterly erase every single last bit of 'interest' that the comic created with stuff like Surge.
>>146143460IDW Sonic is a comic based on Sonic Forces that wasn't allowed to move past Sonic Frontiers.The furry OCs, the lack of humans, Shadow getting shafted, all elements from the dark ages of Sonic.
>>146143460That's what I hate the most about the IDW comicIt's forever tied to the shitty Sonic Forces stain. It has no true identity of its own. It's still doing the dumb "RESTORATION!!!" shit when they haven't restored ANYTHING. What have they rebuilt? What villages that were destroyed by Eggman have they saved? None, they're just running around pretending to be Archie lite while still dragging the corpse of a shitty Forces promotional on their backs. I mean my God they're still using Wispon? THAT HASN'T BEEN SEEN IN SONIC SINCE 2017!The one way to save this comic is extremely easy. Timeskip. Doesn't have to be years or anything, just an unspecified time skip where nothing major happens. You carry on the comic, keep the OCs, trash any restoration HQ shit or anything remaining from Forces ("Oh we fixed up everything so there was no need for a Restoration HQ anymore. And we sent the Wisps back home to Planet Wisp! (Note Whisper can still keep her shitty Wisp for plot convience)"Start off with a fresh start!
>>146143562Shadow Generations is back to using regular guns now, gawd enough with the fucking wisps shit
>>146143460I genuinely think Sega is running through a contract and they don't want Shadow in the comic right now because that mY result in cross promotion inadvertently giving the comic more attention.
>>146142431Hey, maybe this time we'll complain about Ian and then nothing will happen!
>>146143518How come there hasn't been any Duo x Lanolin fanart or doujins? It's the one thing I'd find amusing from these characters.
>>146143406>>146143414Maybe it would've bern better if Lanolin was just a Detective Koichi for Sonic?
>>146143553>I want Archie's villains back.Reminds me of a fan Q&A with Ian about Starline and Finitevus teaming up.>Q:What would happen if Dr. Starline the platypus (from the Sonic IDW) met Dr. Finitevus the echidna (From the Sonic Archie comics)? Would they team up? Or would they be rivals of sorts? What kind of dynamic would they have? WE NEED ANSWERS IAN! ANSWERS! I hope I spelled Finitevus right...>They would work together initially while all the time plotting to stab the other one in the back. Ultimately Ian thinks Finitevus would beat him to the punch or if Starline surprises him and is the first to go on the offensive, Finitevus would be able to maneuver around it. The two of them definitely have similar flair for the dramatic but Finitevus is the more immediately dangerous of the two. Starline focuses too much on the prep and execution whereas Finitevus is quite happy to just do. He has his grand plans but he's not sitting there waxing philosophically about how brilliant he is and make vlogs about it. Starline is much more hindered by his ego.Ian flatly admitted that the best non-Eggman villain in IDW is a vlogging dunderhead next to his Archie counterpart.
>>146142957>tries to shoot Charmy in the faceWTF I love Clutch now
>>146143561It's hilarious that we've now realized the dark ages weren't the transfer from 2d to 3d or even Shadow using a gun, but rather the most nothing fucking game ever.
What i'm feeling right now is I don't know why Tails and Amy are even in this story.So the climax is they randomly stumble into the Chaotix who have a random flashdrive (they acquired offscreen) with all of Clutch's secrets on it and then Nite the Owl does a podcast deboonking Clutch and showing everyone he's a chud. Cringe but whateverWhy are Tails and Amy even there? They just are there to bump into the Chaotix who already have the secrets? You don't need them! Just make it a Chaotix story, that's clearly what you already did.Belle too, she's just there so she can open a door because she works there and knows the passcode. That's it, she just opens a door that's all she does in this entire arc. Why is she forced into this? Give them something to do or don't waste them at all.
>>146143460>Shadow>2nd most popular character even after Knuckles got Movie 2 and "do you know the way" memes>Everytime he shows up he jobs and looks like a aggot.>Year of Shadow>IDW does nothing with him>Spends the whole year focusing on Riders (Dead spin-off) and lame OC's
>>146143623Starline only exists because he didn't want to bring back Finitevus. I don't understand why, though, since Bollers should be the person who owns the rights to Finitevus, not Penders.
>>146143662Tails and Amy are in probably as a compromise to Ian and Evan from Sega>Fine you can do your stupid OC story but you need X amount of Sonic characters to be there on the side
>>146143460The fact that the games have been heavily promoting Shadow and trying to make Rouge more present and marketable, while the comics just don't have them around right now, is crazy.
>>146143670Honestly that's the most insane thing.Not even a small one issue Shadow story tie in? No? We're still focusing on that spinoff game from 18 years ago with the dumb OC? Okay
>>146143662Ian/Evan just wanted a "Sonic races the Rogues and the Lesbians" story same as the Summer Special but they needed more game characters or SEGA would get mad they did a whole arc without game cast.So they made this dumb b-plot like a wastebin to throw all of the dead weight game characters in while Sonic and the Lesbians are the only ones doing any racing.
>>146143662>You guys can't literally JUST have Sonic as the only Sonic character representation in this comic, you know that right?>UGH, FINE
>>146143679As much as I liked Finitevus, he wouldn't really work in IDW. Legal shit aside, Finitevus' backstory and role were heavily reliant on the Penders echidna crap.You could have an evil echidna show up in the IDW/game canon, but it would probably be better for them to be a shaman with some sort of ancient Incan name.
>"I want them to move past Forces towards Frontiers era!">The game with nothing of value coming out of it story/lore wise>"I also want it be like Shadow Generations too!">The game that is just another retread and no value story/lore wise, like frontiers I don't get you niggas.
>>146143737we have low standards and they still keep failing them
>>146143737Adapting Shadow Generations would mean getting to bring back all the stuff that made Shadow work back in Sonic Universe.
>>146143737>"I want them to move past Forces towards Frontiers era!">The game with nothing of value coming out of it story/lore wiseWhat about Sage? We still have female Pinocchio despite Frontiers making her redundant.>"I also want it be like Shadow Generations too!">The game that is just another retread and no value story/lore wise, like frontiersNo shit, it's a glorified port. It's basically just Super Sonic 3D World + Shadow's Fury.
>>146143720he wouldn't work since archie villains intrinsically required a large cast of fleshed out characters and settings. Finitevus, when he appeared, fought with Knuckles' dad, with Dimitri Knuckles' formerly evil darth vader grandfather, turned Knuckles into Enerjak the evil superform from older stories, fought with the australian freedom fighters who people already knew, fought with Knuckles' girlfriend Julie Sue, was meeting Scourge and the Not!Suicide Squad for his 3rd story which was gonna involved Eggman NegaPut him in IDW and who is there for him to meet? I'll tell you who: Surge, Kit, The Gay Owl and the Skunks. Same tiny cast as right now
>>146143737>I want them to move past ForcesIt means we want less of the Restoration OCs and the crying dykes.
>>146143720And yet he still brought in Starline. That means Potto didn't care if Finitevus wouldn't really work.
>>146143119Jewel. Who was put there by Amy, who was the only one with any authority after Knuckles disbanded the Resistance.They might as well have gotten the job from Big the Cat.>>146143343I'm increasingly convinced it's intentional. Put them in constantly to raise exposure, but never push the mandates or try to give them real emotional beats, not because they can't but because it keeps people chomping at the bit.Never thought of Evan as a tease, but here we are.
>>146143737>I want to do Riders again!!!Is literally dumber and less relevant than either strawman scenario you created.
>>146143793>What about Sage?She fucking sucks. Worst servant of Eggman ever.
>>146143883Unironically if Belle turned evil she would be a better daughter, servant, mini-boss, and villain than Sage.
>>146143737I don't prefer the stories from either of those games. But they have clearly exhausted their post-Forces ideas if they are trying to integrate Riders content in a serious way.I feel like they are literally telling the readers they are starving for useable story content and you're over here worrying about the value of new lore.
>>146143907delusional
>>146143883>>146143907Belle is taking off, you need to move on.
IDW being shit is a great example of why capitalism doesn't work.
Belle sucks.
>>146143705Damn, that would make sense. Should have sidelined the OCs for a short run and let the forced SEGA reps play their parts. Amy staying in and running interference while Tails stows away, investigates, and then reveals everything live on stream would have been way cleaner. More in-character too.And a dozen buff as shit guards would have been a lot more convincingly intimidating to one kid with no weapons than eight guys, two of whom are trained professionals. You can't tell me Espio couldn't have solod those plebs.
>>146142947If this series was allowed to have any balls this is when he’d get one of his ears blown off like Sails has
>>146143962>>146143967My delusions are more entertaining than their products, fight me.
Sl*shy, please go away.
>>146144002No no you are correct, but would SEGA have approved?
>>146143737>We should maybe try move past this unfavorable old game.>HAHA, AND DO WHAT? MOVE ON TO MORE RELEVANT NEWER GAMES??? Yes, that would be a good start.
>>146143737We want the comic to stop retreading Forces and do something different
>>146142324>>146142930Ah man I kept forgetting that when something is scheduled to publish on Xth date, it'll actually be available a few days early. I should've just named it Sonic #74 thread instead of hype thread>>146143115I'd say the biggest issue is that they're treating this arc like a huge deal warranting every character being involved when I feel like this could be significantly shortened and with half the cast. Sonic is crashing a race secretly hosted by some villain's while his friends uncover proof of their schemes behind the scenes. Does this really need the two bird OCs, Belle, the Diamond Cutters, and all three of Team Chaotix? It would probably work fine as a two-part episode in a cartoon, but in a comic with months between issues I'm getting a little pretty burnt out. I'm also REALLY not following what they're trying to do with Clutch. He seems cool on paper, being a Lex Luthor type villain whose main weapon is money, status, and lies rather than fighting skill. But then they hype up his fighting skill only to have him get his ass kicked? Why was he treated as this super dangerous big bad for so long that even Mimic is unnerved by? Imagine Lex Luthor banking everything on being able to beat Batman in a fistfight with a few goons.I love how Jewel gets a moment in the spotlight as the one who screws over Clutch after being manipulated and threatened by him. She's come a long way. I'm also glad Kits plan to take down Clutch isn't finished yet, I was worried it really was just "shit talk him on camera"
>>146143737No, you apparently do not, lol.
We already know the arc will end with Clutch getting away and another arc just getting him in prison or something.
>>146144067I mean he probably won't die, but his plan and reputation are shot, and that's all the character had.
>>146143179What the actual fuck was that? What was he plan??? Just get saved? Stupid
>>146144083That's fine but why still remain fixated on him?
>>146144097I genuinely don't know. Like the other anon says he's like a two partner villain at max being pushed as a big event villain.
>>146144093Why is she even blowing up the ship? Everyone is still on there including her and Nite and the chaotix and the normies. This doesn’t benefit her even if she briefly thinks it’s owning Clutch
>>146143737>>"I also want it be like Shadow Generations too!">>The game that is just another retread and no value story/lore wiseThey don't have to keep pretending we're stuck in this weird human free world from Forces going by the animated story segment and the main storybof the game. That's a pretty big deal.Also Shadow just being present in any capacity sounds nice.
>>146144154I hope to god that gets called out. The restoration in one issue proved that the closest thing mobians have to organised government isn’t connected enough to the people to know of anything Nite mentioned, works with criminals, and the director just self destructed a likely multi billion dollar Flying Fortress to stop a guy she JUST saw get his ass beatThe restoration is nothing but clowns
I hope after Clutch, he comes back. It would be hilarious. Even more so if Surge and Kit try fighting him.
>>146144186FUCK THE RESTORATION
>>146143670IDW hates Shadow for some reason, while the games and movies glaze him the comics make sure to make him as much of an incompetent clown as they can
>>146144029>Sonic is crashing a race secretly hosted by some villain's while his friends uncover proof of their schemes behind the scenes.In another world:>Clutch keeps the DC away by getting Jewel to station them as 'crowd security' and then the race goes off with nary a hitch.>Sonic is bombed so Clutch's gambling racket can pay off. But Eggy puts him back in the game, and now he trolls the Rogues while Amy and Tails investigate aboard the big ship.>Cue Clutch getting some characterization that isn't embarrassing to read, Jewel rebounding, and then finish up with a kickass race-winning ploy by the Phantom Rider.>Jet and Co. go to steal the (embezzled) prize money, Surge and Kit stop them and look like genuine heroes, setting up their future arc organically.A fan can dream, can't he?
>>146144186You don’t understand Clutch is so powerful the only way to stop him is to 9/11 the entire helicarrier where the entire audience and staff are watching. This is a certified #girlboss momentTotally not to contrively force the story along
>>146144186Mobians in general seem to be absolute livestock, they can't handle shit and just fall back into old habits no matter how bad things get. Even Lano only ended up the way she did because of penis envy for Sonic and Knuckles, not because of Rough and Tumble reducing her to a PG-equivalent harem girl.At this point, the Metal Virus looks less like a plot hole and more Robotnik just showing the populace of the world why he won't go back to being Mr. Tinker. Because it blows being one wrong move away from the world coming to a screaming end all the time.
>>146143737>The game that is just another retread and no value story/lore wise, like frontiersShadow generations literally expanded on gizoid, biolizard, eggman family tree, chaos control, made canon the country of sonic 06 and made Shadow and Big the fucking cat acquaintances.Meanwhile, this comic is running in circles, with the OCs on the front stage and the actual character in the back seat.
>>146144286>Shadow generations literally expanded on gizoid, biolizard, eggman family tree, chaos control, made canon the country of sonic 06 and made Shadow and Big the fucking cat acquaintances.Man that sure is a lot of nothing of value shit right there. I'm sure we'll learn the super important knowledge of where Shadow specifically took a shit next.
>>146144020>>146143976>>146143939>>146144067fuck off, slashy
>>146143737Bruh, X Shadow literally shipped with an actual lore book that canonized old fan theories like Gerald basing Shadow on the mural from Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
>>146144320>It doesn't matter because I personally do not like the second most popular character of the series.Who asked?
>>146144320>Humans exist in the sonic world, is not just "mobians">There are living Eggman relatives around>Time trivel via chaos control is now canon>There can be more robots like emerlYeah, nothing that can be used for the setting at all, specially the comics.
>>146143115>No Knuckles0/10
>>146144519I count thirty.
The comics need a hard reboot, erase all the OC, maybe keep around one or two.Adapt the games, do some side stories, if they need to make an ark of their own, focus on the actual characters and not the shitty OCs.Explore character interactions, not everything needs to be lesbian drama.
>>146144186>t. sheep bitch
>>146144231It’s just Ian and Evan throwing a temper tantrum that they aren’t allowed to write Shadow the way they did at Archie.
>>146144416>There are living Eggman relatives aroundIf sage is anything to judge by, not a good thing. It should just be Eggman>Time trivel via chaos control is now canonDumb, like Silver. Time travel is trash.>There can be more robots like emerlSo?
>>146143386IDW... hire this man
>>146143078>Dangerous criminalWhat the hell did Sonic even do other than be a mild nuisance?
>>146144646>Dumb, like Silver.Got bad news for you comicfag
>>146144661He made Lanolin look incompetent. Cant have that.
Is there a mandate stating that only the game characters can push the story along? I noticed that seems to be the case with these issues.
Issue 73 had legitimate setup and then this issue took all the air out.My God, I didn't expect to be this disappointedHow do you accomplish something like this?
How do I get a mentally ill tenrec gf?
>>146144737>IDW>didn't expect to be this disappointedHow?
>>146143522>>146143556Just like Ian, her interest in the series was just Archie.
>>146143553>MUH ARCHIE!IDW isn't Archie. How about you ask for something original and well-written instead?
>>146144768I mean, I expected to be disappointed, but not this disappointed. This is just...worse than usual.This is like 1/3 of an issue stretched out. Clutch went down like a punk. And those are just the headlining problems
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NEW WRITERS WHO AREN'T TIED TO ARCHIE
>>146143094I find it hilarious that this stupid cunt thinks that she’s capable of taking on SONIC THE FUCKING HEDGEHOG.
>>146143679Knuckles is supposed to be the last Echidna and Finitevius is the negative transformation of a random Echidna in one of Penders' issues.
>>146144879she would beat sonic's ass with her wispon and her fist the way she would that pussy silver
>tfw this comic just makes me feel like Eggman should just turn the native populace into robots because they might at least get higher IQ that way.
Who were those two writer's room looking roasties who beat up Clutch? Literally who the fuck are they?
>>146144352I don't think the mural theory happened in the book.
>>146143094Does that bitch actually thinks she can take on Sonic, is this bitch dense enough to believe they are on the same league to what are basically the saiyans of the setting?
Another IDW arc down the drain. Is Ian/Evan just not allowed to write anything that can't be wrapped up in a couple of issues?
>>146144633Evan never wrote Shadow in Archie. She probably wants to write him how she did in her fancomic.
Sonic can get his ass beat by a motobug. One lucky shot and he's dead.
>>146144633I'm a newfag, never read archie. How was Shadow in archie?
>>146144919She thinks she's a "rival" character like Knuckles and Shadow.
>>146144972I could see her as a rival character for Amy tier people.
IDW desperately needs a second comic that operates like Sonic Universe. They can't juggle everything in a singular comic, but IDW is too cheap/poor to produce one.
God I hate Shadowfags so much. Every fucking thread is always complaining he isn't being glazed enough even with how much he gets jerked off already. Jesus christ .
>>146144893>Finitevius is the negative transformation of a random Echidna in one of Penders' issues.Penders never used Finitevus. Potto's dumb retcon shouldn't be taken seriously.
>>146145001what do you mean tier? Amy used to always fight in the same "tier" as Sonic and Knuckles when she's actually allowed to be playable
>>146145082Amy can fight common mobs but she will never take down a metal overlord or perfect chaos nor will ever give sonic a serious fight. She is not Blaze.
>>146145166she did give sonic a serious fight. fighters was one of the first times she was ever playable and that happened. Amy was fighting Sonic and Overlord too in his literal debut, and she won her fight with Sonic
>>146142938>>146142947>>146142957>>146142965>>146142976>>146142988This is the epitome of IDW art. It looks weewwy pretty, but it lacks soul.And in this case, it has no direction or motion. Which is terrible for an action scene
>>146143041>>146143049I really can't wrap my head around what her plan was here.
>>146145282blowing up the entire stadium to own chuddy clutch
>>146145282just to have the thing explode 30 minutes is plenty of time for sonic characters to flee the scene
>>146145329but she's gotta land the thing and evacuate everybody onboard too and she's just putting everyone in danger for no reason to maybe cost Clutch some money to rebuild the thing
>>146145185Fighters happened a long time brother, literal classic Sonic.Amy fought metal overlord with 8 other people and if you want to get literal with Heroes difficulty settings then team dark did most of the work pre-super sonic.Amy is not on the same tier as the niggas who go super or knuckles.
>>146145346Amy had a fight against Sonic and Knuckles and Tails and her team won. Also in Battle she has fights with those characters and wins. She's on the same tier
>>146145344Do this ships not belong the Restoration?
What the hell are Babylon Rouges doing?What they have accomplished beyond idk, nothing? First place in the first race didn't seem to do anything. Jet jobs to Surge and Sonic, Wave and Storm don't do anything aside from good food
>>146145377bait and switchpitch sega a Team Sonic (switch knux out for amy) vs Babylon Rogues StoryActually shaft Tails and Amy and the Rogues too so it's just Sonic and Gay Owl vs Surge and Clutch and the Lesbians
>>146144964An overly emotional jobber who good friends with Sonic. He's also a G.U.N dog who does whatever they say.
>>146145005>but IDW is too cheap/poor to produce one.Speaking of cheap and poor Here's their new logo im pretty sure they wasted a lot cash on it and they will rebrand it again.
>>146145430Jesus Christ, this company is boned
>>146142997>>146143001>>146143009>>146143014>Introduced as a power player in the shadows>Is supposed to be Sonic ver Kingpin>Scavenges Eggman tech to sell on the black market>Have been hinting at a plan to expand his criminal empire>Worms his way into the infrastructure of the Restoration>Could have possibly corrupted the organization or took it over outright>Keeps hinting that he's stronger than he looks> Blew it all on a stupid racing scam>thinks he can fight off superpowered animals despite just being a normie> uses jobbers as his goons> jobs to random npcs> plans are ruined before anything even happensIt's like IDW doesn't want to have any good villains... or maybe they're not allowed to? Regardless of the case, Ian and Evan are making wonderful arguments as to why you should always pirate this piece of shit.Because you can stomach mediocrity as long as it's free
>>146145369Anon, they literally say in the both cutscenes sonic ran away because he doesn't want to deal with Amy bullshit, you are grasping straws. Amy is not a final boss buster character like Sonic, Shadow and even Silver.Come back when she defeats on a big bad with no help of anyone else.
>>146145408>jobberBull-fucking-shit, he beat up entire armies of Metal Sonics and Black Arms, and scraped out wins against opponents like Eclipse who were specifically nerfing him.>He's also a G.U.N dog who does whatever they say.Because the games depicted him as a GUN agent in 06. They didn't make it clear that he was a freelancer until Forces.Him being overly emotional was a problem, but it varied depending on the story he was in. In Shadow Fall he was fine.
>>146145496>It's like IDW doesn't want to have any good villains... or maybe they're not allowed to?It's more that Ian and Evan can't think things through when writing characters or stories.Have you noticed that nearly every arc has potentially good setup only to eat shit 2/3ds of the way through?
>>146145496For people who complain so much about mandates, they sure as shit don't seem to want their OCs to take any Ls.
>>146145050In IDW it's a genuine problem though. He has fucked up and jobbed literally every time he's appeared, except for the beginning arc with Mr. Tinker.>feeds himself to Zombots>Metal and Starline both cheapshot him>accidentally blows himself up in the Eggperial City arc
>>146142324For two tailed foxes,
>>146145568Eggperial was peak shadow what are you on?
>>146145496Ian doesn't think there should be villains capable of upstaging Eggman.Evan was never good at writing villains.
>>146142957>Children should be seen, not heard...and you're already pushing it with that first partAlright I'll give Clutch some credit, that's a damn good line
>>146145050He's the second most popular character in the franchise, retard.
>>146145530>Amy isn't the mary sue title character for me to self-insert as!yeah no shitdoesn't change the fact that she is part of the four way team fighting the bosses in like half the games in the series like every advance game. Or the fact she canonically beat Sonic's team in Heroes and Sonic ran off when she was distractedShe's in the same tier, always has been.
>>146145577> peak shadowNiqqa what are YOU on?
>>146145496They so desperately want Clutch to be the new Mammoth Mogul.
>>146145611absolutely nothing
>>146145652Then why did they make him go down a bitch in this issue?>>146142997>>146143001>>146143009>>146143014Bro lost to a bee, an old owl and a couple of interns
May someone explain why the Restoration is the Poochie of IDW?
>>146144895Keep telling yourself that, Lano
Now I want to see Lanolin beat up Sonic just to see Sonicfags go into another melty
>>146145762Would never happen (because Muh soulless corporate mascot not allowed to lose)But would be hilarious
>>146145775he lost to surge one time
>>146145762And I want to see literally anyone take a sledgehammer to Lanolin's head until there's nothing but a red stain on the floor, but we can't get everything we want, now can we?
>>146145762>>146145775What could Lanolin even do to defeat him?
>>146145782Surge lost, Sonic got up and was unaffected, Surge tried so hard she btfoed herself and went into a coma
>>146145798that’s not how that works at worst it’s a tie sonic was getting btfoed the entire fight
>>146145793Shoot him
>>146145809Sonic wasn’t even touched at all in that fight until he got electrocuted by the water on the ground. Surge couldn’t even land a single hit while Sonic was just making dumb peacetalk
>>146145598Sure anon, she is the same tier she just doesn't ever do anything.
>>146145793She punches him and knocks his teeth out, then makes him kneel and squeal and admit she is the stronger, superior and far smarter leader of the diamondcutter legion
>>146145825Except when she does loads of shit, like blow up the helicarriers in Heroes or fight the same exact giant robots they do of the same exact bosses they doBut no she doesn’t do anything or take part in the adventures on the team because manbabies can’t self-insert unless they pretend Sonic does it all and she’s left behind dealing with small motobugs
>>146145762Lanolin is very annoyingSonic self-inserting fanboys are very annoying too
>>146145793They have a fistfight and it goes like thishttps://youtube.com/watch?v=pSCkMgDGZ6IThen afterwards Sonic’s friends and the Diamondcutters tell Sonic they never thouught he was cool
>>146145762I saw some fanart a few days ago of Lanolin covered in blood after murdering Sonic in a fit of rage and now I'd fucking kill to see like a bad dream one-off exploring that. >Lanolin pins the blame on Mimic>Amy goes full terminator>Team Chaotix investigate for clues because something doesn't add up>Tangle and Whisper delude themselves that it can't possibly be Lanolin even as evidence starts to pile up>Surge and Kit not sure how to feel now that the purpose behind their creation has been fulfilled >Eggman gives up taking over the world halfway through because it feels incomplete without a rival
>>146145823…..that’s an attack and surge hit him multiple times in the fight what? how can you forget when she bitch slapped him with metal sonic SHE didn’t get touched
>>146145907Lanolin villain arc would be something i’d rather just not see her but she’s here to stay so…
>>146145775This is what happens when you have people thinking their barely canon side content is on par with the main source, the comics where a mistake
>>146145907She's not covered in blood, but this one follows a similar point. I keep it my Sonolin folder.
>>146145860You are clouded by emotion, come back when Amy has a single feat to back up your claims, stop trying to give her credit for things she didn't do alone or a fight sonic never took seriously like her character.Amy will never be Blaze.
>>146145660You mean the arc where he jobs and needed to be saved by Silvers gay ass?
>>146146097what do you mean jobs?Like even in the meme use of that word it implies he lost a fight, but he didn't. Eggman fucked with the giant chaos emeralds to make them funky and he overdoses on chaos energy. Which he later gets himself out of and beat Eggman at the endYou're literally just mad that Silver had to give him a motivational speech before he did so
>>146146124That is fair, Silver is gay, no one likes him.
>>146146097this is the best we get of both of them in IDW
>>146145993Yeah that was the one, good job. I could've sworn her hands and the bell were bloody since the implication is she hammered him in the head with it
>>146146166>"It's no use!" referenceoy
>>146144858>original and well-writtenThat was Archie compared to IDW lol
>>146146214Good joke.
>>146146237>t. didn't read Sonic Universekino
>>146146124>what do you mean jobs?When a character is defeated to hype up another character or raise the tension. In every issue that features Shadow, he loses to make someone/something else look good.>>146146166The fact that Shadow losing is his best moment shows how poorly he's handled. And they plan on releasing "The Best of Shadow" in 2025.
>>146146288>t.posts a picture from a shit arc that butchered the game it adapts to shove unfunny antoine and bunnie shit into every page and make Tails into Sonic's incompetent kissass even when Sonic's not aroundGood Joke.
>>146146296but he doesn't lose and he isn't defeated. He uses the spires to defeat all of the Shadow Robots and the spires make him overdose. Silver doesn't even rescue him in the end, he just tells Shadow how great he is then Shadow gets himself out
>>146146296metal didn’t beat him he stalled him and fled how is that a loss for shadow
Maybe Ian and Evan should play the games instead of reading wikis and watching youtube videos
>>146146296>>146146308>>146146367also he doesn't lose to Sonic in 6, that panel is the start of their fight. Afterwards Shadow tricks him by taking the fight to the woods then teleporting back to Eggman like he planned
>>146146372god please no, not more memberberries
>>146146372Evan only played Sonic 06. Lol.
>>146146168Thanks, anon. The pic's mainly inspired by the ABT comic about Lanolin's thought on Sonic. Which I also keep in my Sonolin folder.
>>146146585Thought I had the longstrip version there, my bad.
>>146146620I love it. How do you livein a world where you think you're the only who wants to do something, but you know that there is nothing you could that matters. It's lovingly tragic to me.
>>146146308>doesn't lose and isn't defeatedKilling yourself and your opponent means you both lost.
>>146146585>>146146620>>146146648Someone is taking their own OC too seriously, this makes her seen like a mental patient, since it requires you to see sonic in an incredibly OOC light to make it work for her.
>>146146367Does this look like Shadow won a fight?
>>146146691She’s Adam Bryce Thomas’ OC, and yes, she’s serious business.
I replayed Sonic CD today. Watch these cutscenes. https://youtu.be/hn8w240rd30Does this look like the kind of guy who would indulge in fucking flower competitions and take shit from lanolin? Who'd lecture people why he wouldn't kill?No, he slap the shit out of anyone who was causing him trouble and move on to explore some more, he'd be way too cool for half the shit IDW sonic does.Just
>>146146026Good, I don't want her to be even more of a shitty filler character only autists like.
>>146146691A lot of people just love this idea that Sonic is an unhinged lunatic who values nothing, not even the lives of others, over his own entertainment, and its always been the most braindead "2 deep 4 me" view of his character I've ever seen. And its that exact reason that Lanolin resonates with people, she and ultimately ABT validate that braindead view.
>>146146839>Sonic is an unhinged lunatic who values nothingIt's funny to shitpost about that sonic and his band are a bunch of sociopaths, don't even get me started on Tails
>>146146862Funny as a shitpost, less funny when people take it seriously.
>>146146862>>146146879It’d be fucking great if it were serious, finally they would have something interesting to them other than being a bland stock mascot protagonistBut the plot doesn’t actually do anything to validate it so it’s weird trying to make Lanolin aggressive when the worst thing Sonic’s ever done is…give a passive aggressive speech to Surge once? That he basically apologised for afterwards
>>146146385He lost via moralfagging. The worse way to lose a fight.
>>146146908“Sonic’s an unhinged lunatic” is indeed very tryhard when sonic’s the most milquetoast nonthreatening redditor main character ever, going to flower competitions and whatever his cringe platonic friendship of equals thing is with Amy. Who the fuck is concerned about that?
>>146146648>>146145943Lanolin started out as a background NPC who kept reappearing because her design was popular with fans, right?Now that we have hindsight of what Lanolin is like now, if they adapt the Metal Virus arc to a game or animation I hope they give her more focus so she could better parallel to Starline. Both of them start out working for people they admire, only to become disillusioned with their character flaws and resentful of the "Sonic Cycle". Remains to be seen whether Lanolin will try to overthrow him like Starline did, or somehow learn to tolerate Sonic.
>>146146810She has always been a filler character, an obnoxious cheerleader on her worst days and the girl with a one-sided crush on the MC on her best days.She is a tier on her own, below the heavy hitters but above people like Charmy and Cream among other characters like Espio and going back to the initial point you could put the diamond cutters here with Ame.
>>146142324How do you get hype over shit as boring as IDW
>>146146839This is what happens when you think too much the logic of Sonic, hell not even that. When you think too much IDW Sonic who is his own entity at this point, these people need to play the games again, they have been far too long in their echo chamber they forgot how Sonic actually behaves.
>>146146862SOA dogshit localization as always
>>146147026That’s the trouble. No one at IDW WANTS to write Sonic, they want to write their pet OCs that the trannies on Twitter eat up.
>>146144029the problem with this kind of arc being a huge deal is that it only really works if it's obvious it's going towards something majora gigantic arc focused on 'sonic teaming up with eggman covertly getting publicly exposed while the restoration ends up under a new vaguely more objectives/rule-focused leadership' is a great setup that gives us the opportunity to move something forward in the comics but because the comics are both stuck with "sonic has to win" and "idw is an exploration of how sonic's character negatively affects other people" it leaves the whole thing as an empty sense of buildupsonic will be forgiven after a 2 page argument, lanolin will ease up and forget her issues with him, restoration will keep going the way it usually goes, clutch gets away (i think clutch jobbing in one major arc is fine so long as it does, in fact, lead to something more important, a la 'lanolin and duo - more latter than former - lead jewel into militarizing the restoration as a defense from future clutches worming their way in, leading to more active pursuit/fighting against eggman at the cost of the restoration being substantially worse to be a part of' or something), so on so forthif this arc does end up revealing itself as sort of a starting point for a substantial status quo change, i'll be a lot more down with it, but they're running out of time fast and what it has on the surface (a fun 'sonic has to do something bad and suffers the consequences for it without really understanding the effects of it' story with the opportunity to flesh out almost all the oc cast all at once before hopefully going back into a game-centric arc like the eggman city one) is feeling less and less like it'll end up the way it does, in face, endlot of moving parts in this arc that kinda end up represented by clutch - big show, big idea, fun execution for the front half, kinda falls on its face in the back half once you remember the rigidity idw kinda has to roll with
What’s even bad about “the sonic cycle”? Maybe if you had some characters suffer because of it but right now everyone in the world is just hunky dory and always goes swell. Can’t have your cake and eat it too
>>146142324Hope it has a halloween mini in it.
>>146147139I hope Lanolin gets her shit knocked around and loses the respect of everyone once Mimic is outed.
>>146143078>>146143094Was it really too much to have Tangle and Whisper bluntly tell Lanolin that she was so much of a crappy teammate that THEY couldn't trust HER with the truth?
>>146147319Lanolin is their king, they cannot speak bad to her or else who would boss them around? Even at the end they keep doing what she says and she’s still their leader
>>146147148Eggman is an allegorical character. He should just fucking continue to exist no matter what happens to him. He shouldn't need Sonic of all people to deliberately defend him
>>146143059You didn't buy a sonic comic for sonic did you?
>>146147365Exactly. Leave him to be blown up in a gigantic explosion? Eggman comes back. Leave him under a metric ton of rubble? Eggman comes back. Leave him in an empty alternate dimension? Guess who has the motherfucking master plan?
>>146147365Why doesnt sonic rapes the eggman?

>>146147604Because God forbid we allow Shadow to have a range of emotions and character dynamics to make him feel like a properly fleshed out character.
>>146148028My main issue is that Shadow being functional enough to have THAT wide a range of visible emotion kind-off takes away from his appeal. He feel like the same guy who was once psycho enough to suicide bomb the planet because he thought his friend asked him too. He just feels like Captain America
>>146148206The failure of the clone plot really fucked up his character arc, even now salvaging his relevance is taking SEGA's absolute finest for everything they've got.
>>146142324This entire arc of boredom and bullshit could've ended in 2-3 issues max if Whisper wans't an omega retard and just told Lanolin there might be a traitor among themNow just here to wait for the Surge/Kit redemption character growth to be RETURNED TO ZERO once this arc ends
>>146145652but Mammoth Mogul actually has the Kingpin thing going, he's big, he looks goofy, and despite that he can still kick some ass on his own
>>146142957>Blasts a child in the face with a rifleFucking gigachad pull out the fire bro set that little bastards wings a blaze watch him scream&burn begging for the pain to stop
>>146148396This filler arc rodent was never going to land a shot
>>146148291Whisper did tell Lanolin thatLanolin beat her up for doing things without her permission then Whisper started crying and said sorry
>>146142324After seeing that I'm of the mind that the people writing this comic really fucking hate that they aren't writing for Archie because ever since the metal virus arc it's been OCs bitching about the status quo, having to follow "THEIR" rules, not their own, having to ahere to someone else's tune, Archie was basically a free for all and IDW is constantly sent to sega for review rejected then sent again, they already told us the less they use the game cast the less likely the scripts are rejected after the first 2 back and forths therefore the OCs get to be at the forefront while the game cast is lucky to get a couple panels.I'm pretty disappointed by this, it not only shows the unprofessional attitude over at IDW but also shows the lack of creativity. A decent writer can work within the boundaries of a franchise and still make entertaining stories about those characters, key word being entertaining rather than good, if that weren't true a lot of Marvel and DC heroes wouldn't still be here nor would the TMNT, Ponies, Transformers still be here. This whole arc has been wheel spinning ever since chapter 64, Lanolin might be the absolute worst character in the comic, they called her Squidward or Bensen even through those two could chill the fuck out every now and then
>>146142997>>146143001What is it with Evan and making her antagonists trip and make a fool of themselves?
>>146148291>Now just here to wait for the Surge/Kit redemption character growth to be RETURNED TO ZERO once this arc ends"You were working for Clutch!?!? How can we ever trust you!?!?!?!?"
>>146143001>>146143001this kinda scene feels really stupid when the guy has a gun and he’s just standing there yelling at the fag owl “no don’t do that” while he gives a whole narrated powerpoint presentationHe’ll use the gun when it’s to miss a shot at Charmy but he won’t use it on the fag owl
>>146148406;-; A man can dream anon a man can dreamFuck me man you cant do this shit for a monthly comic this shit is going on for FAR TOO FUCKING LONG LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A DOZEN CHAPTERS WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>146148506You can’t kill gays anon, what a horrible thing to say.
>>146148506And the big fight scene that finishes off the villain is a bunch of obvious writer’s-room-standins pacifistically grappling him to the ground while flails and trips aboutWho the fuck thinks this is riveting action for an action series?
>>146148526This clutch arc ain’t ending until at least April 2025 lmaoAt least.
>>146148506Srsly dude could easily ventilate everyone without giving a fuck and gloat about yeah fuck nature FYI i dumped toxic waste and hormones in your water FO DA MONIES BITCHES THIS ONE TIME eggman gave me some super weird nuclear reactor I burried that shit where a childrens hospital was going to be built, so the kids can get even sicker while at the hospital and I make even more moniessssssss
I’m so confused, I played Sonic Rush Adventure once as a kid and it was really fun. I especially remember the level with the giant Octopus Boss you had to fight in the giant underwater cavern and the giant robot pirate on the tilting ship. It gave me fond memories and imagination as a kidWhere are the giant robots here?
>>146148530You can if it was a blowgun with AIDS needles, plus giving a child full blown AIDS is pretty metal
>>146148501imagine if Surge and Kit do make an honest legit appeal and just as everyone is going for it Lanolin throws this shit out and causes the two to spurge and and go right back into villain mode? I think making those two even more schizo and murderous would make Lanolin even more despised which is great for me, I hate her, I hate Whisper, I hate Surge and Kit, I got nothing against Belle, Jewel, the brap brothers or Tangle, hell I'd fuck Tangle she;s a tard but I bet if she learned lewd things the stuff she'd do with that tail would make you aheago
>>146148560In the actual games.
How would Lanolin react to know that there is a song that literally says that the world is made for Sonic?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BWWfjK0v8eM
>>146148591So back on the Genesis?
>>146148028yes, please, if there is a God, have him forbid writers who refuse to have characters be distinct and unique within their settings and write them all into the same melodramatic soap opera overemotional mush
The whole “will Lanolin forgive Sonic?!” shit is so dumb considering Surge actually hospitalized Whisper and attacked the city yet she let her in the team no questions asked.
>>146145078Can you die of old age already, I hate seeing your posts where you think you're so clever for still calling him by a username from decades ago. I hate his writing but he still succeeded more than you, no matter if you know he used to be called "Potto" or not. He moved on, you're stuck on a 2005 Sonic fan forum
>>146148028Then create a new character to do that. Shadow is not meant to be overemotional, retard.I have no idea how making a character completely OOC is somehow seen as "fleshing out". No wonder hacks are rampant nowadays.
how do you write an entire nothingarc? It's even worse when you clearly have cool ideas but can't follow through on them due to either your own creative decisions or your boss' refusal to implement them.
>>146145082By this logic Tails is on the same tier as Sonic. Cream is treated like Tails in Heroes so that means she's on the same tier as Tails so that means Cream is on the same tier as Sonic. They're clearly presented as weaker presentation and narrative wise. Using gameplay is terrible logic since obviously everyone is treated more or less around the same for gameplay.
>>146148730I mean Surge is a victim of abuse, mind control/wiped and god knows what else. She doesnt even know who the fuck she is. Trying to help someone like that over come their autism is morally just she was brainwashed to wanna kill sonic.
>>146148924Cream when she debuted in Advance 2 had it said in her manual she is just as fast as Sonic. Tails too used to race with Sonic and fight Knuckles and fight giant bosses in the same league as everyone else. It’s only since Unleashed they downplayed everyone so only Sonic and the hedgehogstus can fight
>>146148966tbf, they were already doing that with the Adventure games, particularly SA2.
>>146148890Evan is a boring writer. Her fancomic (Ghosts of the Future) is the same kind of sluggish nothing, but it's forgiven because it's a fancomic you can read for free on her Tumblr or Deviantart, and is not an official part of the brand.
>>146149120To be fair I read IDW for free too.
>>146148966Ok and what did it say in Japanese? instead of random localization shit, I mean come on anon. This is pants on head retarded.
>>146149208>and what did it say in JapaneseWho cares? lolAre you japanese?
>>146149208I never owned a japanese Sonic Advance 2, so i wouldn’t be able to tell youBut if you’re one of those “muh japanese text only”fags then you’ll be happy to know Sonic Channel said that Amy is just as fast and as strong as SonicSorry if that ruins your self-insertion fantasy if we don’t pretend only Sonic can fight and the others are weak. Unleashed and afterwards was terrible though so all the better when sega remembers the others do the same exact shit as sonic and more.
>>146143115Once again, I'm just baffled how they managed to take a RIDERS arc and not only make it boring, it isn't even the focus of the comic! The race itself is a complete afterthought at this point, of favor of what? Some stupid conspiracy plot that's going fucking nowhere? You can't even call the Riders content window dressing, it was an outright fake out past the first issue.Miss me with this shit, this comic is miserable.
>>146143491>Evan built all of this up just for the new antag to… job quickly to fucking Charmy?Not even Charmy, Clutch jobbed to the fucking gay owl OC and the secretary. That's honestly way more embarrassing.
Possibility it moves to DC if IDW falls under?
>>146149328>you’ll be happy to know Sonic Channel said that Amy is just as fast and as strong as SonicHey man it comes from sega its legit instead of some random localizer that got outsourced shitAlso there is like you know sonic advance battle 1&2 everyone has their strong points in shit think shadow has the fastest moves in the game too if I remember damn those games were fun I should replay them.
>>146149390Jewel didn’t even do nothing it was those faygos at the desk jobs randomly beating him up
>>146149405Hopefully it all just dies.
>>146149367>riders arc where the babylon riders barely appear

>>146142324>”My problems don’t seem so bad when I’m with you, Anon”It’s bad that hearing this is making me a bit emotional. Why the fuck did I gotta waifu a character from a shit comic is someone I’ll never know
>>146147211This page is every shitty idea i’ve hated from evan>forcing blaze and silver into shit that has nothing to do with them, just for “i used this character” points>all the shitty lesbian ocs at the forefront as if we’re supposed to really care about half of them>forcing tails and amy to be a boring no-fun duo because you wanna pretend amy can function outside of being sonic’s crazy love interest (she can’t) and deserves a spot on team sonic (she doesn’t) be ause she totally gets along well with tails too (she doesn’t)>Belle again! Noone cares about Belle!>Clutch and mimic as the bad guys like they’re supposed to be an exciting prospectAnd i know by solicits it’s only for 1 issue before Sonic joins the chaotix, so it’s character bloat too. Remove everyone but 2 sidecast and you’d be much better off
>>146143115This book gave everyone who read it except for me Cancer
>>146144029Said it once and I'll say it again, Clutch should have been AT LEAST Kingpin threat level. The only reason Peter hasn't killed KP in a fist fight is because he was always holding back (and the after events of CW showed just what would happen to KP if Peter didn't pull his punches). Look at KP in this fight scene, this is how dangerous Clutch should have been.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rJwFT-7H3kOr, at least make him as dangerous as he Penguin with his umbrella.
>>146146585>>146146620>>146146648>The guy who saves the world is a menace and should be put down!What the fuck is going on in the comics? Is sega aware they do this shit?
>>146149592why would they care about some innocuous comic, are you retarded or something?
>>146149549They did the same with Amy going to Knuckles’ island to give him that random totem for a whole issueNot for any reason or because they had any interesting or entertaining story about their relationship, just for fandom internet points by pretending Amy is totally good friends with Knuckles too and therefore deserves a place on the team. It was equally as forced and artificial as her “friendship” with Tails.If this were a funnier comic you could totally make a plot where she’s forcing herself to hang out with them hoping it’ll get her an “in” with Sonic if his friends approve of her
>>146143561They can't even use fucking Dream Team, a game that is still locked to the Apple Arcade.
>>146149432Too busy set the airship to self-destruct. While it was still in the air. While she and eveybody else were still aboard.>>146147211>>146149549Flynn is writing this issue
>>146149615I'm sure they would like to know why the people with the comic license are painting their mascot as some sort of dangerous sociopath for no reason
>>146149638>Too busy set the airship to self-destruct.>While it was still in the air.>While she and eveybody else were still aboard.Jesus Evan, for WHAT FUCKING PURPOSE
>>146149651so you -are- retarded
>>146148348>legitimate threat for years>started a cult>nearly won numerous times>got weakened by Tails, still dangerous>only still loses because Sonic has "spanner in the works" energy>decides to just live the highlife, let Sonic age and die naturally so he can take overYeah, we saw in Silver's future that whatever plan he had for after Sonic croaked backfired spectacularly, but it did work.
https://x.com/HatokTalk/status/1851404931846295947Comicfags will be the true death of Sonic
>>146149684it's a tumor that has grown too large, SEGA should just shut it down and start producing the shit either on their own or just kill it entirely, no one reads the fanfiction that are the comics
>>146149684Inshallah
>>146146839True, but we do get little comics like this, a little interpretation on how some of the characters see him.
>>146149718
>>146144402He's right though. The only thing of value you can get out of any of that is to reintroduce humans. Everything else is worthless on a narrative level, especially time travel.
>>146149726
>>146149732Personally, I think Shadow would have had more to say.
>>146149718>>146149726>>146149732Holy cringeThe constant Sonicwanking from sage was the worst part of frontiers
>>146149740Shit character for a shit game
>>146149684That particular account is a literal self-admitted bad faith actor, I don't know how that faggot even has followers. He very blatantly lies and attacks people for the sake of defending this shitty brand.
>>146149684Ken and Warren never got this much dick sucking and defense for their writing.
>>146143080Taking over the Restoration
>>146143119>Who made her their boss?Them.
>>146143831The two are nothing alike.
>>146149664>for WHAT FUCKING PURPOSEWHAT PART OFNOSURVIVORS Do you not understand anon?
>>146144028How is it retreading it? Infinite or the Phantom Ruby haven't come up once.
>>146149584>Clutch should have been AT LEAST Kingpin threat levelThat's the thing, right now I can't tell if he's suppose to be a Kingpin-type threat who holds all the cards or if he's a big fish in a small pond whose getting a reality check that he's a glorified bullyNot everything can be Eggman, so an evil businessman hiding in the shadows who hires other villain's to do his dirty work is an appealing way to connect stories and unrelated characters. I'd say he's been working perfectly fine on that front. But it's really jarring when he's hyped up so much as this mastermind everybody has to kowtow to and then his grand plan is foiled so quickly and simply without him really accomplishing anything.
Will Flynn keep up the Surge redemption arc Evan started or will he trash the entire run like he did to Penders?
>>146143115No lie this arc has just be underwhelming>Surge gets bitched out throughout it all>Surge suddenly good>Clutch is supposed to be smart fumbles every chapter>A dumbass racing concept but no real race>Sonic stops racing first issue>Cast act like Amy tails and sonic couldn't solo some random goon guards.>Clutch completely underestimates main cast even though they've beaten mechs the size of his luxary ship and he's throwing normal mobians at them for defense>His strongest fighters were rough and tumble, and he alienated surge and kit his true strongest fightersJust so dumb surge looks pathetic and needy, and clutch looks incompetent and fake intellectual
>>146147026>they forgot how Sonic actually behaves.Yeah, he gives even less of a shit about Eggman doing shit there.
>>146149549>forcing blaze and silver into shit that has nothing to do with them, just for “i used this character” pointsHow the fuck have those two showed up so often in IDW? Blaze is in another fucking dimension and Silver is a zillion years in the future.
>>146150197Wait will Ian be the lead writer again? Cause honestly for all our shitting on him god knows the writing was at least decent with him.
>>146147846>fix it???
>>146150260>Blaze is in another fucking dimension and Silver is a zillion years in the future.Blaze is on vacation since Sega killed all the robot pirates and Silver was sent to the past by mysterious time portals with no clear idea as to why he's back this time.
>>146150260Blaze wants to fuck sonic simple as SEGA totally supports this
>>146142324>>146143049the fire rises...
>>146149718>>146149726>>146149732Why did this remind of this?
>>146143078>>146143094Honestly they are truly doubling down on shitty lanolin aren't they. Like have her be humbled or shocked that everyone didn't trust her or that she was working with villains
>>146150197Seeing the annual, he's going with it for the most part, with Kit solely into making people suffer so Surge can enjoy being a hero. >>146150269>Wait will Ian be the lead writer again?No, he's just back for a couple like usual.
>>146150369kek
>>146150269>the writing was at least decent with him.You're joking, some of the worst shit from IDW came directly from him. He wrote issue 50 FFS.
>>146149718>>146149726>>146149732>>146150374That kinda shit only works with really iconic characters like Superman or Batman. It could've worked with Sonic at his peak, but now he's mostly a laughing stock so it just seems like it's trying to shill him.With America Chavez they shouldn't have even tried. Nobody gives a shit about her at all.
Why was Sonic attacking the races again?
>>146143031KWAB
>>146143298fine here's Zxaos, Zavok's father that was banished from the Lost Hex into another dimension by his fellow Zeti after creating the progenitor of what would become the Warp Topez
>>146143058Where are the Twin Towers, Evan?
>>146150389Damn anyone's better than Evans.>>146150455I said decent anon, also as said above we now see what the new lows are. I mean issue 50 was the surge sonic fight and that was pretty hype but yeah they've been locked in on the hero sonic this whole series so I can't complain. Well I can but you know what I mean.
so when is the knuckles 30th issue supposed to come out, was the date pushed back?
>>146143078>Lawfags
>>146143078>>146143094This is just further proof that making a new Diamond Cutters team was a half ass spur of the moment decision for a all girl Heroes style team. Cause these three are barely a team, he'll they're barely friends. It's one couple and their stuck up rent a cop with a big head
>>146143041>>146143049This feels like they were desperate to find a way to shoehorn Jewel onto the climax, because otherwise the huge amount of time they wasted with her this arc would've been for nothing. So instrad of doing the logical thing of having Clutch blow the place up in a fit of rage, we have the batshit stupid writing plot of Jewel putting literally everyone in danger for a cheap gotcha.You can tell Ian took over here, the writing is nosediving harder than the actual ship.
>>146143115I swear to god every time Surge and Kit show up and do anything it ends with-"Ooooooo, what are they gonna do NEXT time guys? they sure are a scheming!"
>>146143094RAPE HIM!!NOW!!
>>146150670I'm just wondering how Kit is gonna fix things up for Surge? Is he gonna pay people off to be in danger? Goad Eggman into attacking a place for Surge to fight his bots?
>>146143115pre-late DB Super/10
>>146143140LanoBITCH got nothing on Sonic the WEIMERhog
>>146143298Clutch is just substitute Nack, deal with it.
>>146143553pretend IDW is just post-Mega Genesis Wave Archie (after the Generations arc)
>>146145993>Sonolin folder.Care to share?
Why does Spaz want to be Hideki Ishikawa so badly? Lol
>>146143059Can't you see Charmy Bee? He's right there on five of the panels!
>>146143078>They knew who the Phantom Rider was>Prove itThat's all they had to say
>>146150694He said something like "only the idiot masses will suffer" so probably stuff like breaking the engines on trains or bombing a prison wall so a bunch of inmates escape. If he gets really ambitious he could kidnap Tails and force him to make robots for her to defeat>Goad Eggman into attacking a place for Surge to fight his bots?My money is that later on there will be some conflict between them when Surge wants to just axe Eggman while Kit secretly wants him alive so Surge can be praised for stopping his schemes. >hey mr Eggman you got 15 seconds to jump in the trash shoot before Surge breaks in and fries you>oh no Surge we just missed him! Metal Sonic grabbed him and flew off the moment they saw me
>>146150840>Hideki IshikawaNot enough loli's
Surge and Kit need a pet so they can complete their transition into a Terrible Trio like Doronjo Gang or Team Rocket.
>>146149842Ian is a cult personality. He interacts with fans enough to have them create a parasocial relationship with him. They literally pay him $100 to tell them his headcanon.
Sonic and Lanolin should kiss to break the tension
>>146151060
THIS BREAKS CANON AND ALSO MAKES SONIC LOOK WEAK! WARNING!https://x.com/Sora_yxow/status/1851447751302647941
>>146151039I mean to be fair I rather a sociable average writer than a schizo shipping autist that might write peak every so often but will steal and destroy the series in pursuit of their autismo. So yeah think I like Ian best as well
Shadow is slower than Sonic, Shadow's speed is 60 while Sonic's is 70.
>>146151142>than a schizo shipping autist>will steal and destroy the series in pursuit of their autismoThis is Ian. He's literally going out of his way to kill Sonamy.
>>146150999They need a Knuckles.
>>146151142Ian literally writes to appeal to shipping autists. The only reason Whispangle gets so much push officially (even despite Sega's mandates) is because it was a popular ship after their mini. Ian didn't intend for them to be so attached at the hip initially.
>>146151170Did he? seems he's indifferent to it.>>146151261Feel that's more evans and her team, they are the ones that have all the gay ocs. But again I meant shipping like sonally vs sonamy bs not just having a ship they like and subtly pushing it.
>>146150999they need a Cell, why add Android 17 and 18 without a Cell?
>>146151295Ian publically admitted in 2023 his finalized version of Sonic Frontier's script was meant to "end" Sonamy because he felt the whole chase-based relationship had grown antagonistic, but Sega didn't use that part of it, so he ASSUMES they rejected his plan to end Sonamy.
>>146151316I mean dumb but idk better than the slap. I just really don't care for shipping in general I suppose.
>>146151367It's apples to oranges. The slap was an active attempt within the narrative to kill Sonic and Sally's relationship, while what's happening now is Amy is just being written as if her crush on Sonic was never a thing.
>>146143115Fucking awful, if they're going to insist on so much shitty OC garbage can they just bring Starline back as a zombie already
>>146151385I never read that from frontier felt more shippy than ever but yeah dumb to get rid of the main game ship and not at least try to replace it with something else. But at least he's not pushing his own separate ship I suppose. But maybe he noticed the toxicity sonic ships brought and tried to save us from it all.
>>146150999Add Silver to it, Trio of wasted something Kit is the pet in this scenario
>>1461431157/10It's a decent issue for a lackluster and drawn out arc with an underwhelming villain.
I’m pretty sure the in universe time span between the end of 73 and the end of this issue was less than five minutes
>>146151426In his podcast he mentioned he tried to do away with Sonamy because “it feels antagonistic”. He’s a fucking cuck.
>>146143014background cuties
None of you know. This is all a setup to Lanolin becoming the main villain and it's going to be PEAK
>>146143041What the fuck?! Why?!>>146143094Why is she backing down now? This is the climax. Ramp up! Let her fuck up hard!What the hell is up with this issue? Last month was great.
>>146143115None of what the characters are doing makes sense. I don't expect them to be hyper logical, but why is anyone doing what they're doing?
>>146151071Damn that's a fat ass.
>>146145577Huh? By what criteria?
I think the biggest problem Ian and Evan have with IDW Sonic is the same problem Ian had with Archie Sonic.Instead of writing issue to issue, they’re writing for the trade paperbacks. If we were just straight reading out of the book all at once instead of twenty pages a month I’m certain the story wouldn’t seem as bad as it does.Not trying to stick up for them, it’s definitely a problem, it’s just something that crossed my mind.
>>146153026Metal Virus was horrendous in one go, speaking from experience. Felt so aimless and had no particular momentum. Just pull the Zeti out of nowhere because they didn't have a real "target" for everyone to struggle against.
>>146152663Not as long as Evan is in charge. In her eyes, women can never, EVER do ANYTHING wrong.
>>146153026It probably is, but annoying when it feels like nothing is happening. Maybe it's less of a problem in the future.But it's not fun to wait months between issues for fucking racing and filler arcs.
>>146153026I dunno, even looking at this arc in its totality not a lot happens and it's kind of a drag. And decompression certainly isn't an issue that's limited to just Sonic comics, it's been a pretty ongoing thing in comics for a while now
I fucking hate Whisper and Tangle.Obviously they're supposed to be a couple, but because of Sega's "no romance" rules, to the point of removing Amy's crush on Sonic and retconning it in remakes. W and T will never, or ever, be officially a couple, yet Ian makes hints.I love queerbaiting because it makes gays seethe, but Whisper and Tangle are fucking boring.
>>146150580underrated post, except this is something they would actually doespecially that noncommittal shit with their shitty magic rocks
>>146150747Clutch is substitute Mogul, who was just homebrand Kingpin with magic. If anything Rough and Tumble are the substitute Nack
>>146153380Tangle is fun when she’s not glued to Whisper’s hip, and whisper is cool when she’s not with Tangle. Together they fucking suck.
>>146153380>but because of Sega's "no romance" rules, to the point of removing Amy's crush on Sonic and retconning itThis was verifiably an Ian decision from Frontiers.
>>146153026No, I think they just struggle to get a coherent story out. Whether that's interference on the part of IDW or Sega, or they're just having trouble getting their ideas to work, they keep building to ideas that don't really work out.Like, we spent almost two years on this Lanolin subplot, but instead of integrating it into the finale we're pushing it off to 76 and beyond. Why??? We've built Surge up for the same amount of time and that's not really coming to a head either. We have Clutch pulling a last stand, but it wasn't built up well at all. It's messy and not very satisfying. I think both of them could do with less explaining and more dramatics. Like, the classic kind, not characters whining at each other.
>>146153248>Evan thinks women can't be in the wrong.>Issue literally shows Lanolin being in the wrong and backing down.I do not get why you're so hung up on this. You say this shit every month.
>>146153536>Lanolin being in the wrong and backing down.The story will still portray her as in the right and she will suffer absolutely NO consequences for her actions. Screenshot this
>>146153445I think the comic got drunk on social media kool-aid. People kept talking about how they were so cute together in the mini and we've spent years repeating the mini ever since.
>>146153574I will.And when that's not the case, you won't admit you were wrong as fuck and keep falling back on "No, EVENTUALLY she will be vindicated!"
>>146153536Because Sonicfags are autistic and until there is a character explicitly talking to the camera saying “Lanolin, you are in the wrong and endangered hundreds with your poor leadership” they won’t get it.
>>146150269>for all our shitting on him god knows the writing was at least decent with him.I've preferred Evan in spite of the problems.
>>146153627Basically, yeah.I do wish she was a bit more of a bitch. It would make for better drama and help a few of them realize it's on purpose.
>>146153581That’s exactly what happened.
>>146151170Still better than that powerpuff guy who self inserted for Blossom.
>>146146691>this makes her seen like a mental patientThe comic is titled "Intrusive Thoughts."Another comic shows her having schizo delusions about her past self.I know Sonic fans are dumb, but holy shit. How do people keep pointing at the ideas behind this character and thinking they're mistakes and oversights?
>>146153629I prefer how Evan writes Sonic and Amy but that’s about it. Ian writes Sonic as a literal psychopath and treats Amy like an asexual. Evan can’t create an interesting plot to save her life.
>>146153026This arc would still suck. In archie he had the excuse of the editor wanting to have everything done for the 4 issue trades. Here it is all on him.
>>146153694>Ian>Interesting>Heroes rehash, Metal Virus, Fang miniI know people sperg out at lower stakes, but Evan's arcs have been better. She still makes weird mistakes, but these stories at least tend to be better paced and have actual ideas behind them. The only total miss from her imo was the VR arc.
>>146153729All of those (except Fang which was basically just an ad for Superstars) are more conceptually interesting than the chao races, the girl camping trip, and Silver joining the Diamond Cutters. Like say what you will about Metal Virus it at least had escalating stakes and a climax.
>>146152663>Female>VillainThose don't exist in IDW.List of IDW recurring characters by alignment>GoodTangle (female)Whisper (female)Jewel (female)Lanolin (female)Belle (female)Nite (Gay male)Don (Gay male)Surge (Female)>EvilRough (Male)Tumble (Male)Dr. Starline (Male)Mimic (Male)Clutch (Male)Kitsunami (Male)This is how intersectional feminists are. All men are evil unless they are gay and/or trans. I'd add non-white but they'll throw black men under the bus just as quick as they do whites (See Shadow's treatment). Amazing how they decided on Surge getting a redemption but Kit is literally going to plan to murder innocents to feed Surge's hero worship nonsense.
Normally I'd advocate for bringing the Egg Bosses back, but with the way this comic is going, I think I'd prefer to have them in any other media other than the comic.
>>146153682First, no one reads your shitty comics.Second, it retarded beyond belief in the first place to even paint Sonic in that light, you might as well introduce some army general in Superman seething about him having the power to save the world and do it. What is his great crime? Not killing Eggman? Are you unironically gonna go in the "why doesn't batman rape the joker?" way, as if the question on itself is stupid and cant go anywhere in any reasonable way?
>>146153955Raping the Joker worked in the new movie.
Noone is ever gonna be mad at Lanolin or tell Lanolin she's wrong, it will be just like in Egg City where she's a little sad for 1 page because "boohoo i made a mistake" then the other lesbians hug her and tell her she's still a great leader and they will do whatever she commandsAlso no, having memories where you think about your past is not being schizophrenic, that's you being desperateShe's not portrayed as a shitty person, though she is, she's portrayed as someone making a blameless mistake that none of the other cast begrudge her forLanolin waifufags are delusional
>>146153841lmao but seriously, it's crazy that for all the shit she gets for being generic and cliche, Zeena is like the only female villain in the currently stated game related canon (so including IDW and Prime but not archie and the others which I haven't seen) who's evil for the sake of being evil instead of having some sympathetic motivation. I'm honestly fine with all the female heroes and sympathetic villains like Sage and Surge but I really want some just evil villains like Zeena who the heroes have no qualms in kicking their ass.Unfortunately, even if Lanolin becomes a villain she's probably still going to be part of the "sympathetic" archetype unless they actually make her snap and go full psycho.
>>146153837>Literally "but muh potential" and powerscalingYou faggots deserve Ian, holy shit.
>>146153955>Calls me the artist for pointing out you're whining about shit you didn't even engage with.You really are retarded, huh?>you might as well introduce some army general in Superman seething about him having the power to save the world and do itThis is literally one of Siegel's first stories with the character you ignorant fuck.They are not saying she's right. They're saying she's fucking neurotic. Holy shit.
>>146154048I have never seen someone this obsessively mad about a narrative he made up in his own head, rejecting all evidence to the contrary to stay mad.Does she need to kill babies for you to understand she's a bitch?
>>146154122Here's the thing though.List of Villains in Sonic games by gender:Eggman (male)Eggman's Robots (genderless)Fang (male)Elderich Abominations (genderless)Zeti (four males, one female)Merlina (female)Erazer Djinn (male)In most games, Eggman is the only villain with minor variations. Only in the spinoffs do you get something else. The "gender question" only comes to mind in IDW cause picsreel was the editor. Furthermore, Archie had female villains so it just looks bad all around.
>>146154194You could look in the mirror, that’s person number 1. Evan will never have sex with you no matyer how much slop you gobble
Lanolin is shit. Only an absolute tasteless manchild would shill for this crap
Sonic was never good.
>>146154256>Devolves into ad hominem and random shit nobody said.I accept your concession.
>>146152546Antagonistic? really idk maybe the classic one but really feel like amy now is best for the ship. She's more her own character and has a level of chill we've never seen before.>>146153629Really, Evans idk bro they both fuck up but at least Ian is time tested and can get a good scene or two. Evans ruined surge the moment she took over and pushed lanolin and the dykemond cutter for months.>>146153694I can see this really we need a new lead writer in general. Who would sonicbros recommend to take over?
>>146154739>I can see this really we need a new lead writer in general. Who would sonicbros recommend to take over?I'd like to see what Barnes can do in the main comic. I liked Scrapnik Island
>>146154760True one of the few goated comics in this run. I'd give him a crack at metal sonic at least my boy needs a win or two.
>>146152663Overall this arc has been a bit clumsy, Lanolin included, but it'll all be worth it if they're building up something big for her.
>>146152663That would be nice and all if she could be a threat, what can that bitch actually do? You don't even need Sonic, everyone on the entire Sonic cast besides cream could take her down.
>>146154266Sonic was always good, you guys are just mean!
I think Lanolin should be rape corrected by someone twice her size
