Megathread Archie Sonic Main Discussion

[Toby]

I don't recall him ever saying anything that like.

[Tenko]

My bad, must be me getting mixed up with someone else he said was returning recently. Am at work so I don't have any of my saved stuff to look at >.<

[CrownSlayers Shadow]

They said they couldn't comment about the Nocturnus last I checked.

Given that his EA case got thrown out, you would think the content of the game would be uncontested at this point, and thus able to be used.

Still can't believe Archie's lawyers managed to bungle so bad he got a foot hold in the first place, especially with the other Echidnas stuff. Considering the mention of there being others at one point in time in the game manuals long before he started on "his" echidnas in the comics. That and the official French comic having another echidna, Princess Alucion, way before he even had any of his other echidnas make it into print.

As well as in the Fleetway comic with Dr Zachary, introduced in #65 way back in Nov '95. Who ended up with cybernetics in issue #97 in Feb of '97. That's two months before Pender's techno echidnas made an appearance in Knuckles own comic series and Zachary's original appearance being WAY before that. Also Fleetway's echidnas were an ancient technologically advanced race, and in the games a lot of the left over echidna stuff had the advanced vibe, plus from memory it mentions them being advanced too doesn't it?

How could he possibly win his supposition that the concept of "other echidnas" as well as them being technologically advanced was his idea and anyone else doing so was misusing and stealing his ideas...crazy.

Archie should have hired some fans to do the digging for ammunition >.<

More unbelievable that they couldn't rely on simply showing that his echidnas were copy and pastes of Knuckles' established design from SEGA/Sonic Team and therefore Penders would be the one violating copyrights or trademarks. That should have been open and shut right there.

[JAiRO]

Knuckles isn't real. He's never going to actually die. 

 

You're killing the magic, Toby! But yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about Knuckles dying seeing as how he's a major character and SEGA would literally kill Ian Flynn. The whole "Last of his race" thing is to make him seem cool and mysterious, of which he is both. Go knux.

And the HMS Sonic Universe is finally coming into port at it's destination in the final part of Pirate Plunder Panic.

[goku262002]

Metal Overlord vibes anybody? because thats what I'm getting...

Edit: Whats the source of that?

[kimplix]

Hooray for the previews!

[QuantumEdge]

You're not alone.  Perhaps Captain Metal is essentially a pirate version of Neo Metal Sonic

[Dejimon11]

He's the pirate version of the metal sonic that got destroyed in SU 1 unfortunately they can't directly say it but they give obvious hints that its him

Edit: I take it that you were joking right?

[Soniman]

 Why is that?

[Dejimon11]

Why is that?

SEGA won't let them because there's only one metal sonic rule it's the same reason why the changed shard from the original metal sonic or the metal sonic 2.5 to mecha sonic

[Your Vest Friend]

Also, here's the preview for Digest #5.
 

Here's the kicker though; the preview has the entire Sonic Jump adaptation. The hell.

[Fletch]

That was it...? For what it was worth, the adaption was pretty nice, but expected it to be a bit more longer than that. 

 

Anyways... Anyone know if Sonic #255 in the mail should arrive for us subscribers this week?

[DarkLight]

Yeah, it is rather unremarkably short, but given the game it's adapted from and the fact that previous adaptions of games that with little-to-no plots (All-Stars Transformed, the Olympics) had an issue dedicated to each of them, it's okay, I guess.

[Your Vest Friend]

Anyways... Anyone know if Sonic #255 in the mail should arrive for us subscribers this week?

 

Theoretically, yes. But I haven't seen anyone with a paper copy of SU#58 yet, they've gotten it through the digital download service. Seems like there's a problem at the presses.

[Arcade Racer CC14]

I got my physical copy of SU #58 in the mail about four days ago, so that issue should be good to go. All these slight delays on stuff like MM and SU do make me curious on WHEN exactly to expect #255, though.

[Fletch]

Knowing that you got your copy in the mail CC14 does slightly bring some relief now.

 

Edit - Thanks for the answer as well, VEDJ-F!

[Jet Prower]

I got my SU58 back on saturday, so I'm sure any that don't have it, should have gotten it then or in the next day or so if by sub. I'm not expecting the next main issue this week really. I wouldn't expect it until the week after thanksgiving if had to be honest.

[Big Panda]

One of our guys at BumbleKing claims he's recieved 255. Seems things might finally be getting back on track.

[Sonictrainer]

 

Blaze used Inferno.

It's super effective!

Sonic the Hedgehog #255

Countdown to Chaos Part 3: The Rabbot
Written by: Ian Flynn Art By: Jerry Gaylord Colors By: Matt Herms
We start with Sonic and Tails flying into Metropolis Zone talking with NICOLE about if Bunnie has contacted them yet. Since she has not, they assume that she’s been captured and, leaving T-Pup in charge of the Tornado, jump down into the action. They run through the Egg Army goons and into the Command Tower, Sonic noting it’s harder to keep the two timelines separated in his head. Upon reaching the top, they encounter the disguised Bunnie, and a Goon with “Tassels”. They are locked in, as Sonic makes fun of Tassel Boy, making a “You Want Fries” with that joke. With an order to attack Bunnie gives him a left uppercut to the gut, knocking him out as he states he knew there was a spy in the ranks. Bunnie goes to the comm, and using the name Scarlett, tells the rest of the army to NOT open the door. She turns to the duo, and takes of her helmet as the text box states “Bunnie D’Coolette The Rabbot”. As they have their reunion, they talk about what’s going on with the others, why Bunnie didn’t communicate for a while, and how they can help her complete her mission of taking a shield generator meant for the Death Egg. As they work out a plan, Sonic and Tails react to Bunnie’s robot parts like they’re in the original universe before remembering that she was made that way when Robotnik first attacked, and it was Uncle Chuck that did it to save her life. They decide that restoring Bunnie’s memory should wait until they’re not in enemy territory. Bunnie wants to know what the two are whispering about, but before any excuse can be given the army wants in. Bunnie gives an excuse as they tell her they are coming in anyway. Meanwhile in Artika, Eggman arrives and gives his regional boss Tundra the Walrus, a test. As Tundra has his transport ready, he passes and Eggman tells him to get back to work. On the way back to the Death Egg Eggman talks with Orbot and Cubot about how the two sets of memories are becoming apparent. Eggman also makes it clear that this isn’t his concern right now, the readings he picked up in Efryka are, and that it may already be too late. Back in Metropolis the Egg Army is using a Shellcracker to open the door, when a surprise call from Tassel Boy tells them to go after Sonic, who is heading to the Shield Generator. Sure enough Bunnie and Sonic are blasting their way through Astarons, on their way there. Bunnie hijacks the Shellcrackers claw after Sonic blasts it, and rams it into some goons. They reach the big door shaped like a gear, as the Egg Army nears, with tanks and Slicers. The door behind them opens, as we cut back to the Command Center where Tails is at the controls, while NICOLE imitates Tassel Boy. Then an Earth Quake happens, as Tails evacuates the falling tower with NICOLE, carrying Tassel Boy to safety. Bunnie Mag-Locks the generator, as Sonic looks for a safe route out. Lucky for them a hole blasts in the ceiling and they fly out safely. Sonic remembers his escape from Metropolis in Genesis, as he plays it off in front of Bunnie as the earthquake in Wood Zone he’s remembering. He brings up the theory that Eggman is behind it, but Bunnie says that it’s also been happening to his own troops. Sonic briefly considers that Eggman wouldn’t be crazy enough to do that, but after a quick flash to the ending of Worlds Collide, he reconsiders. As they head back to the Sky Patrol, Tassel Boy wakes up in time to hear the Clean-Up procedure order. Aboard the Sky Patrol, they encounter Ant, who has finished his escort mission, and is now wearing his wedding ring. He’s romantic for a bit before Bunnie wants to know what they were whispering about. Ant explains he is also here to help Bunnie through this, and Sonic wholeheartedly agrees. Tails heads off and Ant gives NICOLE to Bunnie. Her memories return, flashes of being Sally’s hair dresser, her wedding, being turned back to normal, and Antione in his coma. She hugs Ant, and her wedding ring has magically returned. There are no words on this page. Sonic checks on NICOLE, and it seems it’s down to restoring Amy or Sally. Sonic reassures that the bridge will be crossed when they get to it, and has a brief thought balloon reassuring Amy that they’ll find her once they’re all together. On the Death Egg, Eggman has switched into a fresh outfit, and it seems that Sally has escaped prior to his arrival, but not before a camera snapped her picture. Eggman orders them to track the pod and send Metal Sonic.

Anyone else notice that Burning Blaze's design is slightly incorrect? I don't believe she has markings on her ponytail tufts.

[Mauro Fonseca]

It is slightly incorrect, yes. Yardley always draws Blaze slightly incorrect.

In this case it's likely just since there's no clear reference of Burning Blaze.
