>>153340476>>153340492They didn't know they could link? The robot who already knows she can interface with most Eggman tech and the Eggman made AI who's entire job is interfacing with tech? I figured they would be doing that shit without even thinking about it.
Someone tldr me the comic since the Riders arc
>>153340937A mystery nigga has been collecting Chaos Emeralds and hacked into Metal Sonic using not-Starro. Also Evan tried to introduce a gender non-conforming OC but he bombed harder than Belle.
Damn. That was a lot of work just to essentially just see the mysterious threat's disguise.
Belle and Sage got along way too easily considering they have starkly opposing ideology and essentially want the opposite for Eggman.But now their just assumed to be discord buddies for the foreseeable future I guess.
>>153341032>Also Evan tried to introduce a gender non-conforming OC but he bombed harder than Belle.I've bitched and moaned this entire time about how the comic needed shorter arcs so every storyline isn't a 10-20 issue slog. Then Evan makes a 3-issue arc and can't even get that right. Fucking hell.
>>153341142Done on purpose clearly. SEE EVERYONE HATES SMALL ARCS, ignoring the fucking context why people hated it and thought shit was so cringe.
>>153341032>also Evan tried to introduce a gender non-conforming OC but he bombed harder than Belle.lmao i remember hearing about that. evan will never catch a break if she's doing worse than belle of all things
>>153340846It's INFINITE! Just like the star from Sonic forces!
>>153341142Oh, don't worry. Sega is demanding smaller arcs now. Evan will either get used to it or quit. Either way is a win.
>>153341142>so every storyline isn't a 10-20 issue slogThat's a slog? Compared to One Piece story arcs, that's small potatoes.
>>153341168I think it's probably ineptitude more than anything. Evan can't write anything without issues upon issues of angst. So the first issue is just a chase scene, the second rushes out Lunar's backstory, and the third is an Eggbot fight. Evan couldn't weave Lunar's character through all 3 issues.
>>153341245Honestly, Sonic would probably work better as a weekly manga. We would get a lot more content annually that way.
>>153341224Based on what SEGA has been doing with Sonic, it is probably less to do with the quality of the arcs and more to do with keeping Sonic continuity light.
>>153341278Thats a huge part of it, yes. Light continuity, simple stories for new readers, and everything on brand. Thats what they want.
>>153340937somehow, Starline has returned
>>153341245God, I really fucking hate Whole Cake...
>>153341245It could just be a personal bias of mine, but I feel like comic arcs are better when they're condensed to around 4-6 issues. Gives time for story but keeps things moving, when done right.
>>153341224>Oh, don't worry. Sega is demanding smaller arcs now. Evan will either get used to it or quit. Either way is a win.IS THIS 100% CONFIRMED WITH FUCKING PROOF so help me fucking god boco dont you dare get my hopes up on heresay
>>153340512If Metal Sonic is delieberately made to look like the Magician there that is suuuuper based.
>>153341142>>153341168That shit was genuinely the cringiest thing in this comic yet.The OC didn't even feel like they were intended for continued use, it felt like a big excuse to self insert and have Sonic reprimand stand-ins for the writer's parents. >You can't take my phone, dad! If Sonic was real, he'd make you be nice to me!
>>153340421Sex with Belle!
>>153341386>On 25 September 2025, Daniel Barnes stated that starting from the 84th issue there will be only three or four part stories, following the spirit of Sonic Universe, the stories will involve Sonic traveling to new locations and meeting new characters exclusive to those story arcshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpB6Lt4KvWo&t=720s>According to Evan Stanley in response to the rushed resolution of Issue #82, she was ordered by IDW to have later stories be shorter and self-contained. She notes that she is still trying to build towards Issue #100 in a grander scope.>This is correct; I've been asked to aim for shorter, more self-contained stories as they're more approachable for new readers and easier to repackage. https://www.tumblr.com/spiritsonic/801755249116430336/idw-sonic-spoilers-for-issue-82-idw-sonic-issue
>>153340788His concern for Sage seems genuine, so it really makes me question why he sent Sage out on a mission with a hard light body that could be attacked, to an area where he knew his network had a blind spot (thereby disabling most of her abilities).
>>153341340"WEEEEEEDDING CAAAAKE!!!" for 28 goddamn chapters, from July 2017 until April 2018.
>>153341400>a SONIC THE HEDGEHOG comic revolves around flower competitions and UGH MOM AND DAD TAKING MY PHONE AWAYIsn't this basically Chris Thorndyke all over again? Some stupid new character and his boring problems getting in the way of Sonic having adventures and shit?
>>153341523No, thats the crappy new manga.At least its non canon.
Sage shoulddn't just casually be penpals with one of her father's enemies, Sonic should be the only one she's even somewhat polite to while a threat like Belle with remote access should be killed just incase.
>>153341307Nothing matters specifically, so every issue matters.It is only that, I feel like SEGA can't really figure out what works for Sonic.Cause Frontiers did sell well.But why?I think it is because, for all its flaws, it is trying to be something earnest.It wants to make the past matter without simply doing a greatest hits recap.And I think that is what makes the continuity light approach a bit of a mistake in the long run, cause SEGA has this fanbase of morons that love to chew on earnestness over quality.
I like that chaos energy is used in such a novel way.
>>153341523That was just set up for Chris being lonely, it wasn't the entire point of his character. I also seem to recall his parents shaping up on their own, not Sonic acting like a group therapy mediator.
>>153341643She views Belle as a sibling. The proverbial black sheep of the family, but still family. Besides she'd mog Belle in such a conflict
>>153341748It's too easy this way though. I was expecting Sage to have to discover Belle's worth through interacting with her, before she began to see her as an equal, Instead of just a side project her dad started when he had a head injury.It would be more satisfying when they finally saw eye to eye too.Instead, in the previous issue, Sage sees Belle as an equal (as property of Eggman) from the start.
Throw Belle into the woodchipper. Unless she has mouse ears under that bandana. That will be her only saving grace.
>>153340688Holy fuck it's actually Starro from DC Comics what a twist
>>153341540You clearly do not read the manga. It’s way better than the crap Evan is shitting out.
>>153340622cringe kino requires it to be kino. This is just cringe.
>>153340406It's been so long since the start of this arc I actually needed this page to remember what Sonic was even doing
I like the picasso copies, I think they have cool designs
Evan can't write for boys to save her life. Why is she on Sonic?
>>153340920I think we've had Belle connecting with other Eggbots about 3 times over now
>>153340612>guys, hello, the mosnter right in front of you?>whatever! metal sonic, follow my lead!I don't follow this dialog
>>153340688>>153340707Are we missing a page?Sage was casting a spell, Metal was standing there, Starro fell over, everyone's now outside and Belle's on her knees?
>>153340688>Dark Starwhen did this become bowser's inside story
>>153346700when was this dropped?
>>153347041https://www.resetera.com/threads/pso-25th-anniversary-messages-by-art-director-satoshi-sakai-and-writer-akinori-nishiyama.1397095/
So what actually happened in this issue?Didn't we spend 4 issues getting to a big confrontation with the mysterious coffin man?Why'd we end the story as soon as Metal was found? Wasn't his disappearance the excuse to have this plot?
>>153348465No, this is the third and final part of a three parter. The goal was to find and save Metal which was an excuse to build intrigue for the coffin dragger. Next issue they come back for the M.E. which might be a four parter where we see who they are
>>153349406>MUH EMAROLDI hate this franchise so much.
>>153349406>where we see who they areAre you sure we're not waiting until #100, two years from now, for the reveal?
>>153349466Nah, It's not like they saved the actual debut of Surge and Kit for 50. They'll show us who it is in like 7 or 8 issues, give their plan and have that be the #100 event
What's the point of pulling the mystery villain card in a book with so few villains that it can literally only be Starline? Unless they get cute and make it's actually Mimic somehow.This shit worked back in the Archie days because there were so many fucking characters that someone like the Iron Queen coming back was at least surprising if nothing else.Here they're just dragging their feet to a story that everyone can see coming.
>>153341469He probably would never admit it but her being with Sony grantees her safety like sure I hate him but I know him well enough he wouldn't let anything bad happen to her.
>>153349746Honestly until Chaotix Casefiles came out I was hoping it would be Infinite but they already used him in that so no way would he be the secret twist in two sperate projects.
>>153349787>Sony>>153349825InfiniteYou people love deluding yourselves, huh?
>>153341735So you're saying this OC is actually worse than Chris
>>153340688>STARSubtle
>>153340804Why is Tails such a PANSY?
Damn 92 replies after 12 hours IDW is truly dead
>>153352203It got storytimed in a different thread:>>153329696https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/153329696/#q153336401
Why did a retard make a new thread?
>>153340622It's 1966 Spaghetti Western, thank you very much.
>>153349889Yes, if you can believe it.
>>153352233That's retarded
>>153340804Place your bets anon, is it a 99% chance or 120% chance it's starline?
>>153352203Sad!
GOTTA GO FAST
