I dunno if anyone is remotely interested in this, but Ian has confirmed that Bomb's dialogue will consist of saying 'Ping!'.

As usual I see.

Eh, it makes some sense, considering it's just a walking bomb and all. I wonder how it and Heavy will be handled this time around...

In other very distantly related...random stuff, someone has taken a look at Pender's Julie-Su head on and made some adjustments (outline-wise).

[Kuzu]

Wow....it looks even more like Knuckles in drag.

[SenEDDtor Missile]

Wow....it looks even more like Knuckles in drag.

Don't all of them Echidna females be like dat, bro?

...Don't ever let me do that again.

Kinda hard to get too creative with Hedgehog and Echidna Characters in general.

However, that sketch is leagues better than Penders stuff, and I'm mainly talking about the pose.

O_O........Um, Knuckles is that you O_O

[Your Vest Friend]

I don't think that Echidna at the end is meant to be Julie-Su, they've just drawn in a head to show how the dreadlocks would flow in a dynamic pose.

[Aquaslash]

You'd think these artists would give the female echidnas Tikal's facial structure, but nooooooo

[Dantemustdie00]

Female Echidna's should have a smaller muzzle and nose, pretty much how Tikal, Shade and Ben Bates's version of Julie-Su look like.

Not saying All artist should follow by Sega's and Bates example of making Females more......Female like, but for hedgehog's and Echidna's in particular, everyone struggles with them.

The guy who did that red line actually landed a job because of it...so Ken Penders did something right lol.

But Sonic & Amy as well as Knuckles & Tikal are the same species, and still look more differentiated than these do.

I'm going to side with Aquaslash and say they should have minior differences like smaller muzzles, noses, and hell maybe the spikes; because I notice Tikal didn't have mittens like Knuckles does.

[Amomynous]

Okay, I am now. Putting Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog. Away.

Too much focus on Archie-exclusive characters, and characters vary from so erratic and inconsistent as to be entirely unpredictable to being generic.

(Even the Sonic games characters are a tad inconsistent and have been mary-sue-ish but they wern't this bad)

Too erratic and inconsistent 'in-universe law' ,like Nicole suddenly becoming sapient right out of the blue, and Nicole /just happening/ to have built a city out of nanites right on que, with no previous indication that anyone other than Robotnik had that sort of technology. The only time I think the games pulled a stunt like this was with Shadow The Hedgehog when all of a sudden Shadow used guns and vehicles and all of a sudden was half-alien.

Then all of a sudden, cover previews (courtesy of Merricks)!

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #240

"(W) Ian Flynn (A) Patrick Spaz Spaziante & Various (CA) Patrick Spaz Spaziante"

[Soniman]

Ill get the non-photoshoped 240 cover thank-you very much.

Don't waste your time with Darkest Storm BTW.

[Komodin]

Metal Sonic V3.0... damn. I wonder... will we actually see Dr. Nega soon?

[Winston]

It returns.

[Yong]

Photoshop? More like MS Paint.

Seriously, the variant cover hits new levels of laziness, well beyond that dude that pencil traced screenshots for the Sonic X comic.

[#EndyGate]

Even I could've made that Sega 16 bit variant of the cover and I'm horrible at creating images in paint/photoshop

[The Tenth Doctor]

Holy crud, I'm not one to have pot shots at the comics, I love the stories really. Yet they do another one of those Sega art lookalike covers? The story even says its about team Freedom so why have Amy? She's Team Fighters! 16 bit version? Peh. I'm really loosing respect for the cover artists of the main story.

Universe is fresh at least. No other art work in sight.

[Dantemustdie00]

Metal Sonic V3.0... damn. I wonder... will we actually see Dr. Nega soon?

Wrong, That's Metal Sonic 2.5, also known as Shard, and Nega will NOT be in the comic for a long while apart from being mentioned until Sega figures out what to do with him.

Ugh, I can't believe they did another one of these "Official Art" covers, but whatever, I'm more interested in the actual inside comic page art.

How did I miss this?

[goku262002]

That Amy pose, was it ever an official 2D render like how the Generations Sonic was last month? I'm guessing we will get Tails next.
