Megathread Archie Sonic Main Discussion

[Dantemustdie00]

We may finally see C. Whiskers, Johnny, and possibly Eggman Nega, so I'm stoked.

 

And bare in mind folks Bean AND Marine in the same arc, that just spells chaos and doom for Sonic and Blaze as their gonna be annoyed to the brink of death.

[ElectricAngel]

Haha yeah! And apparently this is supposed to take place after the events of Sonic Rush Adventure? Well then, better go buy and play the Rush games!

Didn't Captain Whisker died during Rush Adventure. I recalled that Whisker went down with Pirate's Island after the boss battle. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Crash]

Nice, but the variant looks kind of crappy.

Yeah, but I'm guessing that they'll bring him back due to being a robot and stuff. Or they're dealing with something else.

Yet another crappy variant. I missed Part 4 of the crossover so I'm basically going to be confused for awhile.

[ElectricAngel]

I'm LOVING the new covers! Except for the variants. Those can go burn in a fire. But damn am I pumped for what's coming up for the comics!

Covers are alright. Hope to speed up the time by having fun just to see Pt 2 but still, they're alright

Their Robots so they can always be rebuilt, and comic-wise I don't think they were destroyed cause in the very first Sonic Universe Blaze suspects that Whiskers was the one attacking Southern Island, kinda hinting Whiskers and his gang were still active.

 

 

EDIT: Ugh! Why are the SEGA variants always so damn stale.

[Soniman]

That cover is fucking badass, why in the world would you ever choose the cover variant?

[Mando-Whirl-Wind]

The Sega variant is proably part of the sega contract

[Your Vest Friend]

Nope, the SEGA variant will be Archie's attempt to lure in Sonic fans who otherwise wouldn't buy the comic with the promise of a more game-focused story.

[Arcade Racer CC14]

Pirate Plunder Panic sounds like a fun return arc for SU. I really love the ones that just throw a bunch of random characters into a blender and see how they interact. Should definitely be interesting to see where it's placed in continuity and Tracy at the helm once again.

[Gabz Girl]

I never like the SEGA variants for any of these issues. Just a bunch of lame CG renders...still, it could've been worse. Could have been like #239 where they just traced the Generations pose and did it in that shitty Heroes render. Yuck.

 

Edit: Forgot to add, obviously the first cover is badass. XP

[SuperLink]

I don't like most of the CG variant covers either, but it's SEGA's way of trying to appeal to more game-focused audiences so if it makes SEGA happy and gets the comic more sales, I'm not complaining too much.

 

The normal cover looks awesome though!

But man this is all just reminding me that I haven't been able to pick up my subscription in over half a year, I hope they haven't chucked any out :? and I wonder if they included MegaMan..

[Mauro Fonseca]

It's not SEGA's attempt, it's Archie's as VEDJ-F pointed out. SEGA is more hands-off than people think.

[CrownSlayers Shadow]

Which is probably contributing to the Penders case that will possibly strain the relationship between Archie and Sega.

[Kuzu]

The story sounds pretty meh tho, it doesn't sound like anything too interesting.

Where da booty at?

 

[Soniman]

I don't know, the story synopsis sounds pretty vague to me.

Sonic & Tails fight Tails Doll.

Sounds pretty straightforward.

[Soniman]

Sonic & Tails fight Tails Doll.Sounds pretty straightforward.

I assumed that was just part of it, guess well see.

[Komodin]

Why is Tails Doll an eldritch abomination now, again?

[Splash the Otter]

Because Ian Flynn reads too much creepypasta.
