See you later fags. I'm going in the other Sonic thread to "read" that pitch bible.
WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB!Sonic shit...tastes bad.
Wow, someone's butthurt.
>>154247088The wise words of a KING...
Wait what is happening, why are there random past issue pages
>>154247103
>>154247113Some Anon is having a breakdown.
>>154247113Sonicfags are too stupid to even storytime right
>>154247103>>154247113It is not me doing that

Ermm...this is not wholesome and chungus. I'm literally shaking rn...
>>154247183
>>154247196
>>154247219
>>154247223Damn, not the direction I thought this was taking
>>154247223Sonic isn't in this page, you liar. You're a dirty liar.
>>154247228
>>154246878>the current storyline is so eventless we need to exposition dump the past few issues just to remind readers we're still doing this garbageJust get to the goddamn "it was actually Starline the whole time" plot twist already. Quit stalling.
>>154246907>>154246922>>154246944/dbg/ is unfunny cancer and jannies should remove them for brigading.
Jesus Christ anyone reading that draft for the Sonic reboot? It's a doozie ... and it looks exactly like this >>154247223
>>154247234oh my yaas this page hit me right in the feels sisters
>>154247113/dbg/ is currently falling for Sonic bait so have decided to show up here
>>154247237Yeah I don't understand why they are stretching this out so much. He should have revealed himself during the Belle/Sage excursion. But they are still stretching this to its absolute limits.
This spam is just starting to get sad, anon.You just have to accept the fact that they put out Sonic comic issue where nothing fucking happens in it (and charged a cover price of $4.99)
>>154247228Did they forget to erase the sketch lines? Wtf is this thread?
>>154247255
>>154247257Ha, I was right. But thats to be expected when most of the posters in that thread are leftovers from those braindead, mouth breathing Dragon Ball threads.
>>154247272
>>154247255What the fuck?I assumed they both understand they were being fucked with pages ago. They are just now noticing they are talking to doppelgangers?
>>154247268Its to show they're illusions.
>>154247267YAAAAAAAAAAS I LOVE GIVING $5 TO EVAN AND IAN TO WRITE 14 PAGES OF THERAPY, FVCKING NOTHING, AND CVCKOLDRY!That was my impression of the average Sonicsister
>>154247268It's to indicate that they are fakes.
>>154247265More like Evan is. She won't let go of long-form storytelling and keeps trying to make "The Road to 100!" this big major thing.
>>154247255>>154247272>thanks for reading this month's nothingburger guys, tune in next month and we'll waste some more of your time on a plot that goes ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NOWHERE!Just cancel the comic already holy shit
>>154247302
>>154247310the point is they're confronting their unresolved emotions you fucking toxicmale chud
I can shitsmear on a digital paper too, see Flynn? More detailed too. Now where's my 70$ per comic plus dividends?https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zmcEuocbSMAPH0Cdu0neR7qOYrOad6dB_PXEnPRM24Y/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0That's it. We're making our own Sonic with blackjack & hookers... or at least pretending to.
This is getting out of hand even by IDW Sonic standards. How do we give these guys feedback? They are getting people to buy issues where literally nothing happens. They didn't even freveal the Sonic/Amy doppelgangers in this issue, so expect them to drag that on for a few more pages, next issue.
>>154247339>Tails as "her"oh you're that guy
Kratos broke you.
>>154247268idk why the recap page decided not to show the cool looking fake Sonic from the last couple of issues
>>154247353>No capitals and no punctuation.Oh you're that brown.
>>154247376The most interesting thing as of late.
>>154247255Huh??Didn't Sonic literally already deal with one of these fakes issues ago? I assumed he was picking up on the Amy being fake much earlier.
>>154247339How can you use AI and still be too lazy to actually make a comic as opposed to just brainstorming and being an ideas guy.
>>154247459Is this a reply bot pretending it's talking? 4chan too cheap to pay for GPUs to get real AI in here to chat?There's a small comic in there. Detail it if you're not automatic reply bot. This place reeks of bots.
>>154247501You mean this? Because from my flick through that's the only comic in there. Otherwise>Whoaniggadoyouexpectmetoreadallthatshitbyyou.jpg
Whats all this reboot talk?
Don’t reply. Just ignore and report the retard.
>>154247576so you're demanding that we report You? Ok then
this is what happens when your shitty comic worships talentless Archieshit writers like Ian Flynn
>>154247546Anon what's wrong with your brightness settings?
>>154246922you dont have a friends, huh?
>>154246846So, anyone thinking that Starline is going to come back by Chaos Emerald revival?
>>154247677I bought a new monitor, it's the HDR I think.
Hey guys, remember that Tails is scared of LIGHTNING!? Also Knuckles like grapes!
>>154247696have "a" friends?You sure are "a" Brown.
>>154247129He already took the emerald here, he grabs it and then knuckles tries to punch him and failed before he used his illusion on him.
I thought I was going to get some kind of Tails and Knuckles teamup but nope, over in a flash
I'm worried it's just an OC, not Starline. They are leaning way too hard into this illusion motif which has nothing to do with Starline.
>>154247894Sonic recognized his identity last issue. It has to be a pre-established villain. Sage also heavily immplied it’s Starline. It literally can’t be anyone else besides Starline.
>>154247951What if it is Surge and Kit pretending to be Starline?
>>154247951What if that's just another illusion?This issue implies he still can't recognize the Amy fake despite encountering one before.
>>154248009>the Starline in Surge’s head starts piloting her like a mechWould be kino, not going to happen tho
>>154247339The amount of Amazon & Russian bots clicking on this shows how dead 4chan is.Also cool concept and art prompts.
>twitter tourists shitting up the storytime threadPerfectly shows how they think they know how 4chan works but then miss the mark entire. They think that hating at something and hating on something is the same thing, so they can't fathom how fucking with the dump gets in the way of people who hate the comic too.
>>154247602Things still happened in Archie. There were still stretches of nothing from time to time, but then you'd have stuff like Eggman going crazy, the Death Egg Mk. II, Enerjak, etc. Even the more filler-y issues were at least a generic fight between Sonic and Eggman or one of his robots or Egg Bosses or w/e, at least in Flynn's run.
>>154247255>TO BE CONTINUED...Son of a bitch! Why spend an entire issue on just setup? Oh right, we're stalling for the issue 100 milestone on a reveal everyone saw coming from fifty miles away.
What is the most disappointing way this road to 100 ends that you can think of?
>>154246965I feel sorry for her :(
>>154248346It's just Starline and they beat him in one issue.
>>154248346Starline dies again with 0 impact.
>>154248346Starline gets redeemed.
>>154248378Evan basically confirmed it’s him
>>154248346Eggman shows up just to establish villain dominance over Starline again.
>>154248448... Does she know?
When are getting back to Lanolin, the best character in the book?!?!?!?! NEED MORE LANOLIN NOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW
>>154248457>Eggman shows up just to establish villain dominance over Starline again.This is so gonna happen. They essentially wrote Clutch out of the comic by doing this to him.
>>154248448https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VC5PPW4rgB0
Seriously everyone who is still a human abandon this place. I don't think you REALIZE just how many bots crawl 4chan at this exact moment. Good for nothing clankers make neuronal networks look good.
>>154248668Do not be silly fellow hugh-man. There are still plenty of flesh creatures here. Beep boop.
>>154247272I missed it when it was Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. Not this candy girly ass girl boss useless token Bitch joining the group.
>>154246852>Story: Evan Stanley & Iasmin Omar Ata IDW is just catnip for tumblrina writers to work on, isn't it?
>>154249182>JASMIN OMAR AtaThat's a fucking gypsy's name. A filthy arab name. Tumblrinas were middle easterns/jews all along.
Reminder that Penders made SEGA claim ownership of just about everything in this comic through contract alone.
Have the IDW comics fallen out of the fandom zeitgeist? It feels like discussion's dried up big time ever since the "Surge becoming a good guy" plot thread got put on hold. These comics have always been a whole lot of nothing, but I feel it's become so unbelievably nothing that interest just isn't there like it used to be.
>>154248483Probably. She used to post here after all
>>154247894It could be both, a backup of Starline under a new alias.
>>154250045I think it's pretty obvious at this point that all of the effort is being put into the DC crossover books (oh and now a fucking Godzilla books to) and the main book has be left with lesser talent, as Ian Flynn and CO work on bigger projects.
>>154250045Anytime Surge isn't on screen characters should be asking "Where's Surge?"
>>154250045Now that IDW's gotten into the games with Crossworlds and thus undeniably game-relevant, its most ardent defenders don't feel like they have something to prove anymore about the holy grail of "canonicity". Without that drive, all they have left is the book itself, and even they realize on some level that there's basically nothing to say after 10+ years where even the rare occasions of the book looking like it has a direction in mind are purposefully guttered. I'd know: I genuinely trusted that Evan Stanley during the Clutch arc that she knew what she was doing with Lanolin/Duo, and I was heartbroken to figure out that she was just making up drama with no actual intent to pay off.There's always the old standby of "blame Sega for the writers being unable to do anything lasting", but the other ongoing Sonic media its rubbing elbows with (Blade of Courage) doesn't help that case considering even when it does filler self-contained oneshots (like the most recent chapter), it generally have more going on than when IDW does so (like the Lunar story) while being significantly more concise despite both being monthly.
>>154250615As >>154250044 stated, blame Penders.Hell this is less IDW and more SoA now that they have everything on lockdown.
>>154247339>Gen-Zers would rather bitch about the canon stuff and are literally incapable of clicking a goddamn link to at least bitch about new stuff.You're a doomed generation and you deserve bad things to happen to you because you enjoy bad corporate **official** things
>>154250757BUT IT'S CANON !!!! Also whatever happened to the fancomic storytimes we used to have a few years ago?
>>154250696I don't think I can accuse the state of this book on Penders. Not being able to create characters without a whole process is one thing: incompetence at actually using the ones we already have (to the point of STILL having Archie-esque infighting over OC direction like what ruined Surge) is strictly a problem of the "talent", not the corporation.>Hell this is less IDW and more SoA now that they have everything on lockdown.In what regard?
>>154248448Based Joeadok.
>>154246965God, Belle is so ugly and shit

>>154247004Your ass would have been banned on the spot for this before COVID. This website really has gone to shit.
>>154246920>tails gets kinda jumpy around lightningsince fucking when?
>>154247281The plot gas makes them forget shit. It was established in the previous arc.
>>154252098It's been a character detail since the 90s.Showed up in multiple games and cartoons.
It's an okay issue. Not great or bad. Previous arc was pretty good.
>>154247302Cute bio.
>>154252098The Villain of the arc, is pulling a Psycho Pirate and messing with his mind by intensifying his fear of lightning.
>>154252321No, anon, don't bring anything non-Sonic into a Sonic thread. The Sonic fans will get confused!
>>154247141>>154247129They are just jobbing left and right! You'd think tails would know not to fly in a lighting storm
>>154247152Probably. Spamming in a tory time is like something a kid would do.
>>154246846STC is the only true Sonic canon
>>154247265Maybe she wants this to lead to a Halloween issue given all the spooky stuff but didnt realize thats 6 months away.
>>154252444Have you nerds been reading it with the rescans going up? What do you think?
>>154252444Quick, say something good about Fleetway that isn't schizo Super Sonic!
>>154252537It's been amazing. I'm definitely going to tell Sonic and co next time I see them.
>>154252444This shit unironically has more pull with the children than anything from the American books."Fleetway" is ridiculously popular.
>>154252544Everything
>>154252546
>>154252548It is super popular
>>154252544Something good about Fleetway that isn't schizo Super Sonic!
>>154247376>cool lookingI disagree. Its alright but its too much like that Doodlebob thing from the spongebob episode. It would be nice to know what exactly they are since they aren't holograms and not robots. What, are they hallucinations? Did Evans play ojtlast trials and thought Sonic on LSD would be a fun story?
>>15425256What's wrong? The Ommiviewer always keeps me updated on the current state of Mobius.
>>154250757Im not clicking that link. Being antagonistic and spamming is a retarded way to get people to give your work attention.
>>154252544Most of Kitching + Elson.A lot of Lew's stories, including Amy's backups.ZoneRunner.Dobbyn's Knuckles.Shinobi.Golden Axe.Kid Chameleon.Decap Attack.Ecco.Streets of Rage.Sparkster.Mutant League.Megadroid being a cheeky cunt.Grimer.The Metallix.Metamorphia.Captain Plunder & Simpson.The gypsy caravan.
>>154252098>since fucking when?Tails bio and Sonic ova.
>>154252583>What, are they hallucinations?Felt that was pretty obvious.
>>154252548It's literally only because of its Super Sonic (and the one-off Extra Life) having a passing resemblance to Sonic.EXE and getting it tangled up in that web of autism.None of them are really reading the comics. Same goes for Archie powerscalers
I think we can all agreeWe need Ian Flynn back on the main book
>>154246890>>154246904>>154247129>>154247141>>154247219I hate how Flynn is always giving Knuckles the Shadow treatment in making him a stoic, no nonsense and no fun allowed esqe. Dude is more serious and cautious than Sonic, but he's still a lighthearted and lively guy when's he's not being gullible spaz, could even crack jokes
>>154252614What about Shortfuse?
>>154252660Shortfuse? The Mobian squirrel who got turned into a Badnik made of Megatal but kept his free will and now uses his robot body to get revenge on Robotnik? ... Never heard of him.
>>154252660Sorry, can you elaborate on who you mean?
>>154252717Lol>>154252746What the anon above you said
>>154252655Ian Flynn didn't write this, bro. you are punching at shadows.
>>154252640Why do you think I put "Fleetway" in quotes?
>>154252755OHHHH, You mean Shortfuse the Cybernik, the squirrel who was turned into a Badnik made of Megatal -- the strongest metal on Mobius -- and is now seeking revenge on Robotnik! Why didn't you say so?!He's alright I guess.
>>154247176>Do Sonic cucks really?I come from /v/ and barely any of us like IDW
>>154252762At this point I wouldn't be surprised that blaming everything on Ian is intentionally done.
>>154252655Anon, I....
>>154252654Can we go back in time and get Archie era Ian?
yet again another fucking issue that could have been drawn in 3-5 pages. Jesus tittyfucking christ the pacing in this comic is by far the worst. Shits on par with hiatusXhiatus like come on man stop it this is annoying as fuck.
>>154252866Yeah.Read Drogune.
>>154252614>Doesn't list everythingOk so what are the bad parts
>>154250249Sonic really is now just a crossover whore.
>>154252894Being British
>>154252894The stretch of poorly-drawn filler stories where random Mobians try to become new villains in Robotnik's absence.
>>154252894There are none>>154252998Those served a purpose
>>154252894The main Sonic strip at intermittent at the very start, middle and end.Eternal Champions.Wonder Boy.Pirate STC.
>>154250806>In what regard?There's was a discussion in which JenHen accidentally hand over her royaltees rights of her collection of OCs that she cameoed in Rough and Tumble's debut issue. It all boils down to SEGA of America now having a lockdown on the creative process in case something like the Pendergate ever happed again.
>>154253024Yeah, filling time.Kitching and Stringer both did a good chunk of absolute naff a couple times while they tried to figure out what they wanted to write next.
>>154253068The fact Sega "owns" these designs means less than nothing.
>>154253072Mister D could still not write anything as good and they were filler
>>154252998The Saturn Dry Spell was agony for Sonic fans. NiGHTS while fun, wasn't exactly the Mario64 Killer it was hyped up to be. Sonic Flickies Island Saturn port was bogged by its loading time (2nd worst for a Sonic game). Sonic Jam was a nice compilation but it left fans wanting more. And Sonic R was ennnnnnnh.....
>>154253081more like the rights to make a profit out of them, not like they have any profiles or information on them; just the image. Once again, it's less of an ownership and more of a safe guard against a lawsuit similar to that of Chronicles.
>>154253094It truly was
>>154253094Oh this chucklefuck right here.....
>>154253141It's hilarious how Ken Penders was so adamant that Ian Droid was more evil than Robotnik could ever be, and yet his big planned reveal was that Ian was Robotnik all along.
>>154252952>Sonic really is now just a crossover whore.this wouldn't be bad if the crossovers made sensei.e dragon ball, mario, etc
>>154253105Yeah, it doesn't actually mean anything beyond "Jen has forfeited the right to sue us."
>>154253094It's insane to me that both comics went "lol, I dunno" at the worst possible time.
>>154253094At least Sonic R had the soundtrack.
>>154253396Both comics had the moronic idea to dispose of Robotnik. At least Archie tried to make a new big bad of the comic with Nagus even if he left a lot to be desired. Fleetway replaced Robotnik with a bunch of villain-of-the-week fodder.
>>154248457no its going to go more like this>starline revealed>eggman shows up ready to clown him again>Starline gets some super special one edition power that renders him on the backfoot as Starline takes control of ALL of eggmans robots this time>sage and Belle step in to "save their brother">cleansweap2.0 where the villian gets dunked on by the heroes as eggman escapes after saying something "nice" about Belle and Mr tinker proving sonic is allowed to keep the maniac virus creating dictator alive because "there is good in him somewhere so killing is bad and wrong and allowing him to retreat to do evil is what heroes do"
>>154250615bro dont remind me about the wasted potential of Mimic and Lanolin IDW apparently didnt need to finish the set up character arcs when we could get more crying lesbians and trans jester OC's
>>154250615>but the other ongoing Sonic media its rubbing elbows with (Blade of Courage) doesn't help that case considering even when it does filler self-contained oneshots (like the most recent chapter), it generally have more going on than when IDW doesIt can do whatever it wants, its not canon.
>>154252877No thanks.
>>154248448That is such a lame fucking explanation Compare it to say, Starline being revived as his frankenstein concept art self after having survived by injecting himself with the Surge and Kit strain of the metal virus as a last resort.
>>154254133
>>154254554And when everything is canon...
>>154254297>Starline keeps a copy of his mind as backup since he saw the base code for Sage during his time with eggman and learned to install emotions into programing from Belle after his death this program used his old lab to create a horrible mismatch of spare parts both metal and flesh that he didnt use for Surge or Kit in his lab to find what was left of the original which explains the mecha tentacle facetoo kino for IDW
>>154247339Im thinking this is some scheme to collect email addresses, I aint clicking this shit.
>>154254297I the post is about making a joke. I think your idea is probably closer to what will happen. Although I personally think the star guy is kit and or surge trying to revive Starline either as a mental suggestion left from his brainwashing or to have him undo the mental damage he imposed on them to make them function how he wanted.
>>154255235>Although I personally think the star guy is kit and or surge trying to revive Starline either as a mental suggestion left from his brainwashing or to have him undo the mental damage he imposed on them to make them function how he wanted.Unlikely. As much as nothing has been happening for the past few issues, not-Starline was seen observing Surge & Kit (and everyone else) in #80 while they were were elsewhere eating burgers.
>>154249182>>154249202>Iasmin Omar AtaTo think all this time I thought this person was a dude based on name alone.
I want to ask how bad are things really but I don't think I can trust a reply with how childish the thread got. It really sucks sometimes wanting to get a genuine reply out of /co/ nowadays
>>154250044>>154250696I believe blaming Penders is giving him credit he does not deserve. If you are going to blame someone, blame Archie for losing the contracts, giving Penders the chance to pull his copyright registration stunt, suing him, and somehow "losing" the lawsuit (even after making him admit in court that he signed the documents making the copies admissible) due to sheer incompetence.
>>154255500>I want to ask how bad are things reallyI mean, you can, question is... you're talking about Sonic in general or just Sonic IDW?The answer could be slightly different depending on the case.
>>154255500If you're asking how the series is then I'll say that it's boring but nowhere near as bad as the previous arcs since Evan Stanley took over.
>>154255500The thread became childish because, frankly, most people with genuine interest in the book left ages ago for justifiable reasons. Boredom with the writers spinning their wheels, resignation that we're never getting Archie back no matter how many times it's promised on Bumblekast, and the extremely sloggish pacing all make for a general lack of faith in IDW's ability to actually develop a satisfactory plotline - whether for the games cast or the comic-original OCs.Shitposting takes the edge off for the poor schmucks like us who still insist coming back, whether because IDW's getting in the games now or just because of sunk cost.
>>154255546I blame SEGA whose lawyers just straight up did not answer Discovery motions. It was clear to me they did not even want to win the case.
>>154246846Realistically, what would it take for Sega or IDW to bring back the freedom fighters or a bit of Archie canon? Proud Sallyfag btw
>>154255690>Sega.Nothing.>IDWSega's OK.They just don't want to.
>>154255690Bringing back the Freedom Fighters isn't going to magically fix IDW. Ian lost his touch years ago and Evan shouldn't be allowed to work in a professional role in Sonic.
>>154255640Sega definitely had a part of the blame. If we piece together all the available information from the Archie vs. Penders case, the conclusion is that Sega only needed to show up and Archie would have won.Sega did just not care.
>>154255690You'd have to go back in time to somehow prevent Sonic Boom from bombing miserably, ensuring that SoA doesn't become disgraced in the eyes of the arent company Sammy and thus wins the civil war for Sonic against SoJ
>>154255730>Ian lost his touch years agoIf he ever had it.>Evan shouldn't be allowed to work in a professional role in SonicTrvth.
When are they gonna get to the fireworks factory (by which I mean, some kind of payoff)?Also, because no one else said it so far:>>154247101>>154247119>>154247152>>154247233>>154247273>>154247301>>154248685>>154253437Shut up Boco.
>>154255730>Ian lost his touchIan never has "his touch". People liked him because he was a master author compared to Penders which wasn't a very high bar to begin with.
>>154250615>like the Lunar storyWhat a fucking waste that was, and a waste of a unique animal to turn into a character.

>>154247255>>154247272...That's it? What a waste of time.
>>154254584I still say this is the main thing hurting IDW, the fact they CAN'T adapt the games in their own way, and now everything between Forces and Frontiers just happened of panel just doesn't sit well with me. Like yeah, the Unleashed adaptation in Post Archie had some faults (mainly Chip connecting with the gang off panel), but it was a step in the right direction.
>>154247066I feel like it would have been funnier if he plucked him
>>154256462With how fucking lame these issues have been, I wonder how this arc will be lame (it’s already lame just by having silver)
>>154256462Silver is such a cancerous tumour
Hypothetically speaking, would IDW Sonic crew be a good fit for drawing Murder Drones? Quality of Oni Press stuff is all over the place.
>>154247792>projectionsure
>>154256496Done whining yet?
>>154255690Not a chance in Hell. Too much baggage and made superfluous anyway
>official Sonic comic is a series of dull issues with nothing happening apart from crying lesbian therapy>fan made Sonic comics are either deviantart tier cringe or a lame retelling of the Genesis gamesSonic is cursed no matter what medium.
>>154256289idw sonic has been a waste of time since 2019
>>154257108>deviantart tier cringesonic franchised thrived on deviantart edgelord cringe. shut up.but yeah, we are not getting unfiltered kino again, because no one with skill wants to work on sonic
>>154257281>sonic franchised thrived on deviantart edgelord cringe. shut up.There's different levels of cringe, and Sonic is no stranger to any of them. But I don't mean the good kind here.
>>154257281Most of the artists who worked for Archie didn't even want to be there. It was their fall back work waiting for Marvel to accept them, since they pay the best in the industry.
>>154257318bros... is sonic no more than a springboot for the good people to jump off? is anyone who works on sonic for more than 5 years substandard?...
>>154257281>because no one with skill wants to work on sonicLet's be real, if you were a professional looking to have a serious career in the comic industry, would YOU want your name associated with Sonic the Hedgehog?
Starline or no?
>>154257410It reflects poorly on the writers either way:>They undo the one meaningful decision the book ever made (killing him off) and present themselves as short-sighted for doing it at all and unwilling to commit to consequences>They actively bait-and-switch about the one good villain they had and remind the audience that every new villain they've introduced has gone over like a wet fart since he died
>>154247015>>154247035>>154247159Wow, they’re pretty bland together without Amy exasperating Sonic. They could’ve had her joke about them spending time together even in unideal places or something. Even without the crush, her spunk feels like it’s just gone. You could replace these pages with Tails and nothing would change.
>>154257463It's odd. The one thing I usually give Evan is that she usually writes Amy better than this, like during the Riders arc. Were these sections handle by that Iasmin co-writer?
>>154250044Not really, it’s basically the same contract as Archie when it comes to copyrighting characters, it’s just that the management between Archie and Sega was so abysmal that Ken got away with filing registrations with his characters. I remember in the Did you Know Gaming video about it, Ken admitted that had Sega or Archie actually responded to the copyright office’s notification to them about Ken’s filing attempts, he wouldn’t have been able to do anything. There’s also how Archie’s lawyers (after the other ones had been fired lol) spoke about how their contract with Sega stated that anything they published with the license was derivative and owned by them but somehow nobody in the previous council realized that lol. What a fucking disaster.
>>154257338Axer quit Archie and never worked for a comic book company ever again.
>>154257474Evan's Riders Amy was just as bad.All she did was waddle around with Tails both acting so bland, no spunk, no personality, Tails and Amy acting the exact same as eachother. They're only there to open doors and say "Holy Crap, it's [Belle the Tinkerer]!" "Holy Crap, it's [The Chaotix]!" "Holy Crap, it's [Don the Rooster]!" "Holy Crap, it's..."
>>154246846Filler comic
>>154255690Realistically, the Resistance in Forces was the only shot. The Freedom Fighters as a concept would need to be reworked because the nature of the games' world does not require an active force against Eggman. The Restoration doesn't really do much (how often has the "clean up from the Forces war" plot point been relevant? Especially after the Clean Sweep arc).As for Archie in general, I think the debacle with Chronicles killed any chances of Sega incorporating anything from the comics into the games, on top of Sega's own disinterest in their old western material.
>>154247339If you don't like canon then create something that you do like. That's what I always do
>>154257463I hate how Amy is just the generic girl member now. Fucking Cream is allowed to have more personality than her.
>>154255690You need to let it go Anon.
>>154257108Bring the deviantart cringe into the IDW comics to spice up the series. Archie sucked for most of its run but at least its the memorable type of bad. This is just white bread with mold on it.
>>154258132What I'd give to go back to the post-Penders, or even pre-Penders, era of Archie. Anything would be an improvement from what we have now.
>>154254554Except the manga.https://sonic-city.net/2026/03/17/sonic-lore-manager-confirms-blade-of-courage-and-shadow-manga-arent-canon/
>>154258109Amy has always been controversial. so they are trying to avoid as much landmines as possible by making her outstand less. might as well not use her at all.
>>154258268>might as well not use her at all.If only.
>>154246907>>154246922>>154247004Comic sucks but you should kys for ignoring basic board etiquette.
>>154250045I don't think fans turned on it, just no one is reading it at all. Most of the people who were hanging onto IDW at this point had some pet IDW OC they liked, and only Belle has had focus since before the Soleil story which was over half a year ago (and Soleil barely seems to be written to be a reoccurring character).
>>154258146Penders / Gallagher era of archie was sweetThe later Penders / Bollers era was pretty autistic but i'd still read it and have fun over whatever garbage we get these days
>>154247152>>154252438Why the fuck does this board even have death battle threads? They only serve to be a breeding ground for schizos because it's a fucking general for some godforsaken reason. They aren't even on topic ffs. It's literally the worst of all worlds.
>>154256462>"Oh, shit, a Blaze sto-">silver in the background>Evan Stanley writingBlaze will never be free...
What comes after #100 anyways?
>>154250045at some point even the most autistic among us have to realize that nothing fucking happens in this book
>>154256017People liked him because he was willing to pander to the fanbase harder than anyone else at the time. His shtick never moved past shameless memberberries and retreading old ground. It's just more obvious in recent years because he can't regurgitate entire game plots like he did in Archie.
>>154258375I don't know, they keep doing half assed baby raids on other boards lately too, and no one else knows what the fuck they are talking about since everyone who's into death battle talks in their own autistic language.
>>154258343>Soleil story which was over half a year agoThis comic is fucking stuck, holy shit.
>kek battlelast time i saw that was.... 2015? lol
>>154250249And it's a shame because the crossover books are godawful.>>154258410>looking forward to Blaze in the first place Even without Silver, she's only in this book to be a cardboard cutout that fans can clap like seals for. She's not going to have moments that flesh her out because simply existing is enough for people like you.
>>154248879Amy predates Knuckles you retard
>>154258427The sweet relief of death
>>154258486Amy was never part of the group even when she did, retard.
>>154257318>Most of the artists who worked for Archie didn't even want to be thereThat was definitely the case for some of them, but hardly most. Art Mawhinney liked Sonic, had been a storyboarder for the DiC cartoons and was the first guy to start using the Japanese design for Sonic. Dave Manak, Spaz, James Fry, and Steven Butler liked Sonic too. J Axer, Dawn Best, and Tracy Yardley were Sonic fan artists before getting hired at Archie, etc., etc.
Nice comic, sonicbabs.
>>154258509We don't like it either.
>>154246965>nothing happenedThat summarizes all IDW
>>154258528While that's definitely true if you consider the wider implications of being stuck in the canon ghetto, it at least used to try a little harder to keep readers amused with issue by issue happenings. Now it practically reads like a loading screen.
>>154250045>>154250615The only fans of this are the twitter and bluesky freaks who are only into it because of the lesbians, the crybaby doll and Surge. They don’t care about any comic that doesn’t have them or if they’re not relevant. People creamed their pants with the Chaotix case files, even though that was also a nothingburger of a story just to hear the lesbians talk. Even if they didn’t do anything, they’re content with any slop as long as they get to project their LGBT issues on them. So there’s still fans, but not of the actual content, just the surface level of the selective comic characters they can pretend to care about.Also, I will doubt any “canonicity” of the same game with Steve Minecraft and Godzilla.
>>154256462>Silver gets cucked by some randoHe will never score
>>154253141>Suffice it to Gay
>>154258588Spongebob is canon, at least.
>>154258481Blaze is just as much a cardboard cutout in the games, too. Sega doesn't know what to do with her but know she has fans and can't get rid of her, so the best they do is let her make random cameos where she does nothing.
>>154258840Blaze was fun in Rush and Rush Adventure, a stoic, self assured loner who had to learn to open up to others and accept help. But then everything seemed to run with her 06 depiction of generic amicable female who barely has her own thing going on.
>>154258427Sega has been pushing for simpler, done-in-one arcs with less emphasis on continuity. So probably that.
>>154258916Which I could believe if she had any meaningful dialogue beyond her constantly repeating that she needed to get the Sol Emeralds back. At least she had Cream to befriend in the first Rush, but Marine hogged all the character development in the second game and left her with nothing.
>>154259014so early archie but without what made it fun. they don't need a comic book contract for that. those garfield newspaper panels will do
>>154258481>And it's a shame because the crossover books are godawful.I haven't read the Godzilla or second DC ones yet, but the first DC one felt like massive wasted potential. It felt like the comic version of a theme park where everyone was just standing around saying generic "haha I am Sonic/Superman." lines and overly blatant references.
>>154259087I mean hell, compare Batman/Shadow to the Batman/Raphael talk from another crossover. In the Sonic crossover it felt like they were just rushing the "yeah we both lost some people, now let's go go some heckin hero stuff" so they could wrap it up in half a page.
>>154259029She had some moments in Rush Adventure, like how Sky Babylon established that she was afraid of heights (unless Rush touched on it briefly).
>>154259070It could be fun if Ian and Evan stopped taking everything so damn seriously.
>>154259487Ian wants to write a capeshit. Evan wants to write a weird fanfic about trauma with shipping side plot
>>154258268They can't do it but imagine if she was killed permanantly.
>>154259014If that's really the case then they should look for new writers that will actually follow guidlines. Ian and Evan have too much baggage to write good stories in any format.
>>154259487>>154259504They’re both wrong for Sonic.
>>154259579capeshit is fine. it appeals to boys. evan's idw so far only appeals to girls, fags and troons
>>154259598I don't think this issue even appeals to those groups. It's just nothing.
>>154259579I don't think the west is capable of creating the shonen that SoJ intended him to be.
>>154259830When Sonic tried to be shounen it became an embarrassing laughingstock in the west. That clearly isn't what people want.
>>154259850Shounen is in Sonic's DNA whether you like or not. His original creators were fans of Tezuka and Toriyama.
>>154259850Sonic X? I thought it had an okay reputation relative to the rest of the franchise.
>>154259935Sonic X isn't bad in concept. The problem with it was they made the audience surrogate the worst character in the show.
>>154259966And I assumed the manga's an improvement.
And Amy's current hairstyle is based on the Mikis from Devilman and Hell Teacher Nube
>>154259935it was kinda shit except a handful of episodes. but not because of the shounen but because of the sol
>>154259977Ha ha, no. It’s Sonic X 2.0.
>>154260016Are there any cute girls at least?
>>154259977Depends on who you ask. Yuuta doesn't have the rich kid angle that causes people to not feel sympathy for Chris and he's more directly involved as the wielder of the blade whereas Chris is only 'useful' during the space seasons, but at the same time he's cowardly (or starts off that way - I haven't read that much of it) and people just don't like audience surrogates of that type.
>>154250045cumulation of absolutely nothing happening and the dogshit release schedule only making that worse. i cannot believe the IDW run has been going for over 8 fucking years.
>>154259966The wheelchair girl would have been a better choice and I stand by that. It's an interesting parallel to Sonic who can run fast whenever but she isn't able to use her legs and she was cute
>>154258523My condolences, sonicfriends.
>>154260066Literally any other human would have been a better choice. All the other human characters are not only far more interesting, but also not intolerable shitheads. Chris' parents, maid, butler, all his friends, his uncle, even his teacher, every single one of them were fun in their own way. But Chris himself was just so bad he dragged the entire series down.
>>154260066She looked so similar to Maria I thought it was on purpose for when Shadow showed up but they did nothing with it.
>>154260032Supposedly.
>>154260032A human Tikal
>>154260066Pretty much everyone agreesHelps that, even without considering her not being able to walk, her not spending time with her parents, like Chris, feels like an actual problem cause, you know, she doesn't have a maid, a butler, a grandpa, an uncle and doesn't even seem to have friends at school, considering that Chris calls her "that girl in the wheelchair"
>>154246852I fell off, when did Flynn leave the title? I honestly never expected him to go.
>>154261072He didn't. He's just not on it as much these days because he also writes for the games now.
>>154261090Explains a lot.
>>154261090What games (plural)? We've only gotten a new racing game since Frontiers, the first one he worked on.
>>154261116Okay, two games. But he's apparently locked in for any future ones. For now.
>>154261116Shadow Generations was between thosealso some of the game-related web animations like Trio of Trouble iirc
>>154250696In the end Penders won. SoA is too afraid to do anything interesting besides nostalgiabait.
>>154262093Its Sega of Japan. SoA at this point can only do what the Japanese branch tells them. And its not fear, they just have no desire to use old outdated concepts created by American piggus.They want a nice, unified canon across all media (except the movies) with light continuity, nothing too drastic done with the cast, and simple stories. IDW has to comply, but Ian and Evan still wish it was Archie.
>>154259170Cowabummer
>>154261331I assumed he didn't touch Sonic x Shadow since it had unabashed Shadow glazing which he hates.
>>154262164He modified the whole game's script, throwing in all those pointless references to older games.
>>154262121>Its Sega of JapanThis. I heard somewhere that the reason the delays are so long is because IDW has to submit everything to Japan and then have to wait for a reply and if they have to change stuff they have to go through the process again. Time zone and language differences slow things down.
>>154262222Yeah, Evan said it takes around a year for an issue to be approved.
>>154259850>When Sonic tried to be shounen it became an embarrassing laughingstock in the west.Lies. SA1 and SA2 were very well received when they first came out. I also barely ever saw anyone shitting on the Sonic OVA back when it was released here.
>>154262268The OVA is not shonen
>>154262137>This is where my parents died Sonic.>Big oof.
>>154258504>Art Mawhinney liked Sonic, had been a storyboarder for the DiC cartoons and was the first guy to start using the Japanese design for SonicI recall that he preferred to keep drawing Sonic as his pre-Adventure self, but kept lengthening his quills to ridiculous levels until they were almost down to his feet.
>>154247255Nice art this issue, who is the artist behind it?A shame that some fags raided it while it was ongoing, never seen someone go as low as to raid a storytime threadI wish mods would give a shit about this board again and rangeban that fucking general and whoever posts on it forever>>154247272Imagine if it isnt starline but a brand new guy
>>154262715Aaron Hammerstrom and Min Ho Kim
>>154262606He did. Mawhinney flat out refused to draw the updated versions of any character. It was so bad the editors had to change his art and give him stories where he didn't have to draw any characters or designs that came out with or after the Adventure games. He was also a Transformers G1 fan that inserted insults for Beast Wars, basically calling it garbage.
>>154247894I would be ok with it, sonic needs more recurring villains that arent just the deadly six and eggman.And this guy abilities seem cool.>>154259977The manga is lame and only propped by /sthg/ types that really want to pretend that its better than IDW just because its japanese and has hype moment and aura. You could change Sonic in that thing for any generic shounen protagonist and the story would stay the exact same.>>154262746Thank you
>>154262783Wow. I never liked him before, but now I just hate him.
>>154262783This is not really that unusual with comic artists. Alex Ross is known for only drawing characters in their golden age/silver age form and refusing to draw new characters unless they are from Marvel (which he doesnt care that much about in comparison).
>>154262897Alex Ross has the pull to be like that and there's plenty of comics that play into his specific tastes. Mawhinney doesn't have any of that. He was working for fucking Archie of all things.
>>154262970My point is that its not uncommon, and if editorial doesnt put or want to put a stop to it then so be it
>>154263302That's not much of a point when you're comparing a guy who probably hasn't had work in the last 20 years to one of the most popular and most in demand artists still getting work on his terms. And yes it is uncommon. Artists don't get to be picky about what characters they draw and if they are then they'd have to be in the top 10 or else they're out of work. Like Mawhinney.
>>154258916She was only a loner in Sonic Rush. Even by Adventure that part of her personality was phased out. She really only exists now to be a waifu.
>>154259170The Sonic version feels like a twisted parody of the TMNT one. Sonic/DC is the most phoned in crossover I've ever seen.
>>154259850Frontiers sold well and that game’s boss fights are every shonen cliche imaginable.
>>154258110Your a little faggot Boco. And nobody likes you.
>>154264018Are you trying to give him a hard on? Getting hate posts is what keeps him going.
>>154257474Maybe, but even the art shows how bland and lifeless Amy is now. You’d think she was speaking to someone else with how neutral she is. Maybe the end of comic will have her stop forcing herself to appear “mature” but I doubt it desu.>>154258109It’s fucking hilarious how Cream, despite getting stupidly benched for a while, seems to have more going for her in dynamics with others especially since they’ve increased interactions with the Chaotix that’s just reusing something X set up long ago.>>154258268Who cares if people cry about autistic shit, how they fuck can they accept boring interactions as good? Then again it’s not like they’re spending money on the comic they supposedly love lol.
>>154254133>>154258162Why the hell do people still cling to this idea of "canon" when it's becoming increasingly clear that Sonic canon is little more than an albatross across the franchise's neck? Canon isn't meant to constrain stories to this degree. If the only thing it's good for is worthless callbacks then it's not worth adhering to.
>>154259470Rush did lol, evidently not memorable enough though.
>>154255690Anon, Sega tried to get rid of them before the reboot. They were only saved by the contract with Archie and once they declined to renew the license with Sega, there was no hope after the move to IDW. Not that it would save the comic anyway.
>>154264307Because Sega's been pushing an emphasis on canon lately, especially with Frontiers and Shadow Gens both referencing past continuity.
>>154263618I dont give a shit about your personal grievances towards this guy i was just merely stating that it has happened before in the comics industry and will happen againIf editorial is bothered by it then they will deal with it
>>154264839They’re not though. They’re actively memoryholing Amy’s old personality and retconning important parts of the old games such as humans. Flynn will write in some quick memberberries about a previous stage but the company as a whole doesn’t give a shit about the past continuity unless it involves reusing assets from old games.
>>154265082>They’re actively memoryholing Amy’s old personalityWell, thats all Flynn.
>>154265063Personal experience nothing. Dude was a bitch about design changes for characters so he's been out of a job since. Meanwhile Ross is selling comics just by doing covers for them and turned in a solid F4 comic he wrote not that long ago. You comparing them proves why Mawhinney's an idiot that reaped what he sowed.
>>154265223What does Ian have against Amy?
>>154265379He seems to want her to be a don't-need-no-man, independent strong female. Like Sally.He also had the balls to demand Sega to either make SonAmy canon or he'd break them up for good. They smacked him down for that.
>>154265412>He seems to want her to be a don't-need-no-man, independent strong female.And he seems mentally retarded about it like any hypocritical redneck who says one thing and does another like a contradicting dumbass.> They smacked him down for that.Very good. I think he got too confident about how Sega hired him to "write" for Frontiers when he was a literal typemonkey for them and the Japs hated his references so much that they hired a different writer to do the Japanese version.
>>154265478I think the lore is Ian's idea while Sonic Team simply want to keep it episodic.
>>154265495Exactly. Simple, done in one stuff. Thats what they want.
>>154265412>make SonAmy canonHow would this even work? Amy would slow Sonic down, and Sonic isn't the type to be openly vulnerable.
>>154265478wtf I didn't know the Japs were so based I love them now
>>154253737I don't think it was a stupid idea. They just both flubbed the followup.
>>154265478>HiredWeird way to say "the director used chatgpt to rewrite the JP version."
>>154265379I think Ian just doesn't get Amy's dynamic with Sonic. Either that or he bought into the crazy fangirl/stalker memes and wanted to "fix" her.>>154265669Ironically enough, Flynn allegedly (as I've only seen a second-hand account and don't think I have it in me to trawl through the Wayback Machine's copies of his forums) gave his take on Sonamy and Sonally and while Sonally was acknowledged as being done, yo-yoing and Sally slowing and complicating Sonic down, Sonamy was described more as Amy keeping up with Sonic - the problem being that Amy was the one character explicitly barred from being in a relationship with Sonic (romance in general was implicitly discouraged, but Sonic flatout could not return Amy's affections)
>>154265777>romance in general was implicitly discouragedBecause of Penders or because it would ruin Amy's main gag?
>>154265818I'd say both. Not specifically Penders, but the main book was infamous for its romance melodrama and Sega wasn't paying attention to it for most of its existence. OCs seemed exempt, seeing as how Antoine and Bunnie were clearly a thing, but the main game cast were likely what that was targeted to (another edict was 'no relatives (aside from cases like Vanilla) for the game cast' hence Chuck being more of a figurative Uncle in the reboot.
>>154265777The whole idea of setting up Amy in Archie is baffling, because isn't she actually an 11 year old artificially aged up via a wishing ring? I'm pretty sure that also had a factor in Sega banning that.
>>154266221Sega was demanding that all characters now had to look like they did in Sonic Adventure. It was a mess of contrivances all around.
>>154265818They haven't done the whole Amy's stalkerish crush thing in years anon.
What are some other places that are still active for the Sonic fandom? Any new games, any new fan comics?Do they have a centralized place like a daily news bulletin website?
>>154266221The reboot made Amy closer to her game counterpart, so her Archie backstory didn't matter by that point.As for said backstory, it was around the time of Sonic Adventure and Amy (who was younger at the time, at least in Archie) had made at least one appearance prior, so they couldn't quitely retcon it. Instead, Amy uses a magic ring which Elias was going to use to heal his sick mother or father, one of them to age herself up to what she'd be in Adventure. But for a time, they kept mentioning how she was still mentally her original age. That's Post-Endgame, Pre-Flynn Archie for ya.
>>154263717Kind of a shame because I really enjoyed all three of the TMNT crossovers. Krang being able to kill the Anti-Monitor and wear his corpse like a battle suit was weird, but the rest of the story was fine so I didn't care too much.
>>154266549I think Sonic Stadium is the most active one left.
>>154263717Actually one of these days I should take the "Batman relates to someone in the crossover group" scenes from the two just to compare how lazy and "generic", for lack of a better word, the Sonic one feels.
>>154267093Actually fuck it, I'm doing it now anyways. Better grab the few pages earlier in the comic too for context on why the TMNT talk happens at all.I'd do the same for the Sonic one, but the context is basically just>He is the "Batman" of the group, we must talk about how similar we are before we do the hero thing together.
>>154266541We're just not allowed to do anything with Amy anymore, yet Sega continues to insist on her being a core member of the cast.
>>154264018yes but he's right here. "Realistically" there's just nothing you can do, accept the SatAM material is dead, end of story.
>>154263717>>154267160There we go. Quick shitty edit job but it gets the point across.TMNT, there's an actual valid reason for the talk to happen: Raphael is pissed because he thinks they're wasting time and that Batman is just some rich dude doing this for kicks, so before they go all in on stopping Shredder and Ra's Al Ghul, Batman wants Raph to understand exactly why he's doing this, and why he's going to take this whole business seriously.Sonic they're just together(that top panel is the first time they're both on panel in the comic at all), and the talk just feels like it happens because the TMNT crossover did it so we also have to.
>>154266856Sega always coming around to just fuck things up when it came to early Archie. They had a good thing going, until Sega would kick the door open and demand changes made NOW and mess up years of character development and world building. All because they were the toilet paper to wipe their ass when it came to marketing their new game. You can see they treated Fleetway a lot better.
>>154267317Wasn't me this time.
>>154266549>What are some other places that are still active for the Sonic fandom?Twitter, r/SonicTheHedgehog, /vg/'s /sthg/, Sonic Stadium, and Sonic Retro (the news side of it is dead but the forums and wiki are still active).>Any new games, any new fan comics?There's always new games and fan comics. Looking for anything in particular?
>>154267364Also can I just say I loved the art in the TMNT crossovers. It felt very appropriate for both groups in the crossover, like that art could be for either a Batman comic or a TMNT comic and wouldn't look out of place in either.
>>154267016There's also retro, but they have a discord, so....
>>154265379To be fair Amy is a shit character
>>154265379He's the sort of shit American autist from the 80s to look at Urusei Yatsura and cry "stop the will they won't they dynamic"
>>154266549It's mainly all discord servers now.
>>154267394Have you been reading the current IDW TMNT? They brought him back for the interiors.He also drew the TMNT/He-man crossover.
>>154267317Nah, fuck that
>>154267503I stopped reading IDW Turtles ages ago, too much wheel spinning for my tastes.Didn't know there was a He-Man crossover though, might have to take a look at that. I read the Thundercats/He-Man crossover and actually liked it, and the He-Man/Injustice one was about as okay as anything Injustice related, so I'm at least willing to take a peek.
>>154267368>You can see they treated Fleetway a lot better.To be fair, I don't think they sent them anything for Sonic Adventure either.I assume they just totally ignored Fleetway.
>>154258162>Lore managerYeah, I don't trust that guy, SoJ still has the last word.
At this point I'm just holding my hopes out for issue 90I'm so tired of this octopus faced Dr Doom, I don't care if he's Starline or whatever anymore.
Ever since IDW bored me to sleep I've been wanting to make my own Sonic fancomic.Probably wouldn't upload it anywhere or show anyone if I did though because I'm autistic (sonic fan has autism what a shocker).
>>154267602SoJ are a bunch of indecisive fucks who are too scared to commit to anything being canon. Even Mario in his abstract world has solid canon lore and world building set in stone.
>>154267368>You can see they treated Fleetway a lot betterin the sense that they basically didn't interact with them at all, yes
>>154267368Archie had a pre-established multiverse by the time SA1 rolled around. All Archie had to do was set the adaptation in an alternate universe but they had to make things needlessly difficult for themselves for some reason.
>>154267919I make porn fan comics for commissions for people.I did a SatAM origin story comic for Robotnik a long time ago, that was part of a dead project called Season 0. To tell the origin stories before SatAM. Was supposed to be a flash series, that never materialized past a trailer.
>>154267948>Was supposed to be a flash series, that never materialized past a trailer.I vaguely remember hearing about something like that years ago, huh. Shame it never went through.
>>154267942That's what they were doing beforehand for the game adaptations. But Sega never can make up their minds if they want the humans and mobians to be from separate worlds or not. So they made Archie have to include Station Square into their new world building.
>>154267967A few scripts were made. I adapted the first script into a comic. Started on the next one, but got very burnt out and gave up...I feel to this day feel guilty about it.
>>154256315>Frontiers just happened of panel just doesn't sit well with me.That was Evan's fault for not taking a hint from her coworkers. Both IDW Editorial and fellow writer Daniel Barnes telling her repeating to stick to self-contained stories to avoid causing a mess. She ignored them and just assumed Sega would let her do a timeskip and/or put a hand-wavey author's note about continuity (and thus didn't write her IDW run to take Frontiers into account). Caused a minor backlash on her tumblr blog, enough that she no longer accepts continuity questions on it anymore because "discourse makes me uncomfortable".https://spiritsonic.tumblr.com/post/804790822658850816/ah-seems-i-opened-the-floodgates-im-very
>>154267997Barnes himself discussing this on twitter and telling people not to blame Sega during Evan's post-mortem on #82, incidentally.
>>154267942Archie was under the delusion that their Sonic universe was the one true canon and all others, including that of the games themselves, were offshoots. Even their game adaptations before SA1 only had the barest minimum of references to the source material. Penders was the biggest one, naturally, but all the other Archie writers followed this mentality and felt compelled to maintain their stance even when Sega made it increasingly impossible.
>>154267920Precisely my point?
>>154268013The smaller self contained stories makes it easier, so if the comic is ever suddenly cancelled it won't be in the middle of a big story arc.
>>154267970They didn’t. All the previous Archie adaptations were set in the prime dimension, which was all well and good because Chaotix or 3D Blast didn’t have much story that would interfere with the previous world building. SA1 was a story heavy game with conflicting worldbuilding. They tried to hammer a square peg into a circular hole instead of just creating a square hole.
>>154267373>twitterthe ghetto of the internet. every discussion you have about sonic will make you hate it and the fans even more>r/SonicTheHedgehogreally just a fanart RSS feed, nobody has real discussions or makes things>/sthg/I would rather go to the russia/ukraine battlefield IRL to discuss sonic the hedgehog than spend any serious time on that shithole>sonic stadiumeh, I guess>sonic retroeh, I guess
>>154268140>/sthg/>I would rather go to the russia/ukraine battlefield IRL to discuss sonic the hedgehog than spend any serious time on that shitholeThat bad huh? What's specifically garbage about it?
>>154268013He comes off as a massive faggot every time he talks and not so subtly shitting on her, then at the same time sucking himself off.
I got them tattooed on myself last summer.

>>154268469Bunnie having comically off model breasts is both based and cringe at the same time.
>>154268535Why so serious lol. I just really like the choice of artist for it.
