Ian hasn't been off to a good start. He threw out the Naugus storyline for no reason, Julian Robotnik retconned, and upped the whackyness on Eggman. Also Shard is supposed to be among the terminated characters so don't expect to see him ever again. The good things the comic had was a rich world of characters good and bad to fill the Sega gaps, but 90% of those are all dust. Get ready for a Sonic Lost Worlds adaption, and then some Sonic Universe stories of him competing in the olympics with Mario.

I miss the good old days of Swat Bots and the robotisizer...when the villain wasn't a complete joke and the heroes had an actual stake to fight for.

I know where you are coming from; there is a good chance the comic will just spiral into a sucky Sega Sonic world moving from one game to another becoming a shameless medium solely for Sega's advertizing. However, I also can see it possibly getting better with the Freedom Fighters still present. In my opinion it could go either way, but it just depends on which way Ian Flynn wants it to go and how much Sega and Archie lean on him. I hate to say it, but with all of the new edicts coming down from Sega I'm keeping my hopes low, but I am trying to keep somewhat optimistic.

This is why I think that Sea3on is all the more important; at least there will be one place that the American Sonic still exists.

Personally, I'm over the moon with this "pairing back" of characters. Hopefully they will focus more on the main cast than adding more characters to fill up the story due to unimaginative writing; although there are more than a few that I'll miss.

Personally I believe that we are seeing the present "future" in the "Genesis World" from 226-229.

I'm liking Sally on that cover; she still has her feminine shape. I was really afraid that she'd become a stick figure like Amy and the other Sonic "girls" that need to wear a dress and have an ugly bow in their hair so you can identify their gender.

I made soup for everyone!

 

Yum! Little People/Purple Toad/Salamander/Fish Head and Grey Snake stew!

It's not the character or the fans' fault for bad writing of the character; "the slap" or trying to kill her wasn't them trying something new with the character; it was to accommodate Sega's edicts, and they didn't do a good job of it. The whole Mecha Sally thing was way too long and if you would have done it to any other main character, say Amy or Tails, that is if Sega would let it happen in the first place (NOT!) you'd see the same outcry from their fans as well.

I and many other fans are not "mad" and immediately getting defensive as you say, you are projecting what you think is happening on the fans of the character. We're just tired of them screwing the character over for three years, and you would be too if it happened to a character you liked. Heck, even right now in my fan fiction I have Sally almost mauled to death and might not survive, and that's coming from a big fan of the character. I have no problem with bad things happening to Sally, but they need to do it right and that means not taking the character away for three years.

Really?  Because heaven forbid anything happen to Sally that isn't "she comes out perfectly okay without any problems everytime".  

 

I don't mean to be rude, but whenever Archie does anything remotely interesting with Sally, we tend to assume it'll be bad, and never give them any slack. In my personal opinion, I'd like to see Sally adapted to the new world as much as everyone else is.  

 

Also Something More doesn't usually mean something bad.  So....what are you worried about? 

Probably due to Archie screwing the character for an unprecedented two and a half years, going on three; we're just pure tired of it and they need to stop it and do something different with the character if just for a little bit.

Whilst trolling around on YouTube the other day I ran across some one the series' episodes in German! I'm really enjoying watching it and I thought I would share it with everyone. The only thing is it seems like the episodes are mirrored and I'm not sure if the entire series is on there yet.

Ist hier Heads or Tails auf Deutsch:

Amy, yes.

 

 'bout right. "Okay I'll let you go for now, but don't ever underestimate the power of Robotnik's dark side, (where the sun don't shine)!

*EDIT*

It's only made more hilarious by Captain Sorzo's avatar. "No Robotnik! Don't sit on us!"

.

I shrink Amy to 1/100th size then sit her on Robotnik's chair at the beginning of Heads or Tails  just before Robotnik sits his ultra-maximus rotund arse of uncalculable weight down. She becomes infinitesimal slimy spot of goo on Robotnik's buttocks for all eternity. And guess what, no one noticed and no one will ever speak of that pink nightmare again.

Sonic and Sally live together happily ever after.

Period. End. I mean it. This means you.

....okay.....try not to deviate too much into a Pony Debate.  We've got a Pony Thread For that. 

This says it all, period, end of story:

 They make this special drink that makes you unseen the wretched work of Shippers...

 

It's called bleach.

 

Bytor will awnser my question. I have faith in him. Sonbunnie. You think it could work right? And how would you pull it off?

One of the main issues I see in my opinion is that Sally was created with the intention of being Sonic's girlfriend. I definitely see it working, but as RedAuthar said with Sally in the picture it wouldn't happen. For that matter I don't see any pairing with Sonic working as long as Sally was in the picture. Bunny would have to get pretty angry at Sally to even pick Sonic up on the rebound; I don't believe it's in her nature to be that cruel to a friend. However, that being said, given the right circumstances it definitely could happen; something like having a special moment that leads into another until eventually they are a couple without intending it; kind of like slowly turning up the water temperature so the frog doesn't realized that it's being boiled alive. Okay, I know that's a very bad analogy, but you get the picture.

I'm wondering what the ancients thought about this when they made half-man half-animal deities? I mean did Anubis have a pet jackal or did Horus have a pet bird?  

It that genetically modified dog food with all those hormones in it I tell ya!

I believe that I've said it before, but Archie and Sega need to drop the shroud of crap and let us fans know what's exactly going on and spell out what exactly their restrictions and edicts are. Us fans only getting these ambiguous little sound bites is leading to a lot of damaging theories and conjecture. As consumers of the comic we deserve the facts, that is unless they want all of this fearmongering based on bits of nebulous info they sprinkle about leading to people getting mad and walking away this has to stop.

I really have no clue as to why Archie and Sega are keeping their restrictions secret from the fans, but it is doing not only their fans, but their comic more harm than they realize and could end up blowing up in their collective faces. I mean, I'm not talking about spoiling story lines here, but for them to show some transparency to the consumer; in my opinion if we knew what was going there would be a lot less dissension between the ever-fragmenting fan base.

 

 

 

So no one noticed what i said?

Yeah I read what you said and I agree with ya.

I dunno, but seeing Muttski a mobian now just feels wrong. I get Flynn is doing something different, considering he is stuck now with a limited cast of characters because of the Penders situation, but like you, I'd of rather he had made a new character rather than drastically changing an old one. Sure Muttski served no real purpose before, but now? It's just... Odd.

As as for naming him after Ben? Well I guess it's a nice tribute. Little strange, but nice.

I am wondering if there is a new edict from Sega saying there are to be no more new characters and Ian found a way around it by turning Muttski into an anthro. If my supposition is true, then we could be seeing the likes of Griff and Ari in the future.

Then why do the descriptions of upcoming issues mention stuff like "new heroes" and "new villains"? It sure sounds like buildup to introducing newer characters.

If anything, Ian probably made Muttski a Mobian in order to make him more interesting/memorable of a character. I mean, the character hardly left that much of an impression ever since he introduced; having only appeared in the pilot episode of SatAM and serving as a background character in the comics.

 

It also could be that Ian Flynn was referring to the inclusion of the villains and other characters from Sonic: Lost World and unused characters from older games and the upcoming ones as well.

*EDIT*

I was looking through the Bumbleking forum and there's a rumour that Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and SatAM are the only two cartoon continuities now allowed in the comic! So, no Underground, OVA, or Sonic X.

They are talking about it here: http://www.bumblekin...=6973&start=840
