Another thread and this time we’ll be doing some TwiX stuff! This artist likes Shadow so we got a short comic of a jackal OC that wants revenge against him and some AU stuff where Maria is still alive. Anyway, this is Spear of Revenge!

Before yesterday's run, I actually thought Max and Lock knew each others, but no. Turns out the Brotherhood was in full hiding and it just happened that Max used the floating Islandas a second residence for vacation times.

I actually find this hilarious. So Sally really told no one about Knuckles, not even her family? It's like Knuckles was an imaginary friend for Sally...

We haven't gotten to it yet but there is a panel showing Max and Locke talking in the past. I always assumed that was why Max went there. And in Sonic 44, Sally says she kept quiet to protect Knuckles because he wasn't supposed to talk to outsiders as part of his apprenticeship.

I think it is him because his last post was right at bump limit and then it stops. He's been known to eat up bumps to kill a thread faster. While it would be nice if it lasted for several more hours, it's not that big of a deal.

Thank you! It was really fun making him look so happy. Despite the weirdness of the method used I really do like how it makes the shading look, I might use it again!

>I never seem to recognize the warning signs until I'm in the middle of one
Just like me fr fr. Didn't even realize I was in the middle of one until someone else came up to me and told me I looked like I was down. I gotta work on introspection to be able to notice one without help, honestly.

>I really need to do that instead of just leaving them in the bottle
It's just so tempting to the depression-addled brain, isn't it? They're just perfectly tucked away, so easy to forget they're there unless you put them right in your line of sight 24/7. That said sometimes what helps is changing presentation, I've tried capsules and packets you can put on your drink, but what worked for me was gummies, likewise I've met people to whom gummies just never worked out.

Thanks! I should probably clarify that clicking on the image filename shows the desuarchive image. This is so readers can get an image that can be posted on 4chan since my expanded images are in avif format to save space (these avif images are on average 20% the size of the originals, it's pretty much magic)

Penders has ambition but he lacks self awareness. He doesn't think how others will receive his work and he probably doesn't care. That's the kind of thinking that had him wanting to kill off Sally. His bigger problem is favoring his characters over the ones others have created. That's what I've noticed as the Knuckles series went on. Knuckles got sidelined and as someone else mentioned, the Chaotix barely do anything. They just stand around and talk but are nowhere around when the action kicks in. His narcissism is something else and it led to his downfall. If he worked on that then he'd still be writing for Sonic. Ian might have never gotten a chance to work for Archie. He could've even muscled Bollers out of the writing spot if he was really devious.

Penders seriously needed a tard wrangler to tell him no when writing that shit. And it does suck the star of the comic, starts to get fucking sidelined and so his friends. They're could've been a balance but penders would not budge in shilling his characters. Cant believe he wanted to replace Eggman with Dr. Droid! I hate that while reading theres glimmers of actual good stuff.

Knuckles for one being peeved off at all this myterious bullshit, and the brotherhood having legit reasons to stay so secret and having someone like spectre disagree with the grandpas. Problem is, he makes Knuckles just accept that bullshit and only until recently did spectre do anything, which was very based. He's the best one there. But for the rest, they talk about doing things for the greater good but do nothing and expects us to see that as good. It's frustrating.

And it just makes me mad that Knuckles having to deal with his people is a genuinely good idea and direction for the character than just guarding his dumb rock. I havent played chronicles yet but I hear it does that aspect well and wouldve done more with his people on earth after it before penders decided to fuck things up. Knuckles is doomed to never do anything interesting again and some would point to frontiers, but knowing the games, it wont go anywhere. Being a Knuckles fan is suffering.

IDW can't really make their OCs relevant.
So much that it's actually detrimental to the comic.
The OCs are necessarily always going to be nobodies in the greater context of the series even inside the setting of the comics.
And they also can't ever have any meaningful interactions with a game character, to the point where two IDW minis revolve around OCs talking to each other and the other revolves around 2 game characters by themselves.

I'm almost sure that it's mostly a Sega thing rather than just IDW too, so I can't even blame them.

We've gotten out of publication order quite a bit. For example, the Image crossover was done a lot earlier than when it was printed. We're also doing the Knuckles issues so their arcs aren't broken up by Sonic issues.
>>455961
In cases such as that, I place all the blame on the writers. It's obvious they have more freedom since the OCs don't have nearly as many restrictions but that doesn't excuse how badly they're written. At least Penders gets negative responses from some of his OCs while somehow writing some genuinely good characters. The IDW OCs generate some anger but then apathy.

But look at Monkey Khan. He's got simple stories that likely wouldn't trigger any mandates and I find much more interesting. The last story we covered was all OCs. And it's drawn and written by someone I know nothing about. A good writer can work within restraints and whenever Ian and Evan get a chance to do so, they don't. I understand that they get screwed over here and there but some bad decisions they've made is obviously their fault. I'll happily blame SoJ for a lot of stuff but I'm not letting those two off the hook. You can also lay some blame on the editors as well.

And then Sonic and Lanolin fight for some reason, neither win, and Amy breaks them apart. Then Lanolin and Amy start hugging while Sonic is fuming.

I don't think you understand how bad Sega's autistic micromanaging can be, remember that Shadow had to be rewritten out of an arc where he was going to do nothing but sit down and watch a bunch of Chao doing tricks.

Also remember that this is a company that caused multiple others to go bankrupt before, including themselves.
Archie could casually give game characters their own families and love interests and have entire arcs made around those things.

But that's Shadow, the most notoriously heavily mandated character, not an original character like Monkey Khan is. He has his supporting cast and even villains. A better comparison would be the IDW original characters. The restrictions we know about would be not being able to beat Sonic or Eggman but when you have Iron King and Iron Queen then you don't have that problem. And that's another thing, killing off Starline really sucked. I also didn't like how he was so reliant on Eggman's tech, even when he was working on his own stuff. And then that 900th Adventure issue got rid of the Warp Topaz, as if saying Starline is never ever ever coming back.

I do wonder how people who have very little exposure to Archie view IDW. I can see IDW's flaws without thinking about Archie. But what about others that have IDW Sonic as their first and only experience to the franchise in comic form?
>>455971
SatAM focused on Sonic and Sally and no so much the others. There's very little character development and then it ends after a couple seasons. Would Archie be remembered as much if it stopped at issue 50? Maybe earlier? I think SatAM would be more fondly remembered if it got a few more seasons and improved upon things. But Archie is as close to a continuation of the cartoon series as you can get.

I see people talking about this and honestly I think it's nothing but wishful thinking of fans, unwilling to accept that Sega who reviews every single issue individually before they're released might be tanking the overall quality of the comic with their demands that might be or not completely arbitrary and chaotic, despite this happening before in multiple instances with other companies, sometimes to disastrous outcomes.

I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to say but I think I might. If you take out everything that only Ian has said and only focus on stuff that others have said and even the changes made because of it, there are plenty. Shadow wasn't allowed to be on a team with Rouge and Omega and Amy took his spot. The writers for both Sonic Boom and Sonic Prime have talked about how Shadow was heavily restricted. And there's minor stuff like Marine not being allowed to appear at the end of the Metal Virus arc because they don't want characters getting their first appearance at the end of an arc. And there's the change to Blaze's mouth in the reprint for an issue. We've also heard about Sega wanting artists using 3D game models and sticking to that but you can file that under "take this with a grain of salt."

That's why Rough and Tumble are the only OCs that really work. They've got cool designs, but don't overshadow the main cast; are villains, but clearly not an Eggman-level threat; have a cool rhyming gimmick and great chemistry, but don't overstay their welcome since they're not in every issue.

Whoops. Didn't paste this in.
I suspect they still don't know what to do with him. He's supposed to work for GUN, but they don't want to actually show GUN anymore. It's such a shame because having Team Dark go on missions to exotic locations is exactly what's needed to flesh out the world. Surely Eggman isn't the only threat to the planet and Sonic can't be everywhere at once

Shadow is such a weird character. Sometimes he works with others like with gun and team dark but is supposed to be a loner otherwise. Problem is that he does fucking nothing in those periods. There’s no stories of shadow doing shit by himself meeting people like sonic does, nothing. It only happens when he’s with some other established character and then he can appear on screen.

They did mention GUN in Frontiers so maybe they're willing to do something with the concept again.
Oh, and not everyone gets this, but the reason Ian doesn't think Team Dark's a thing is because he's good at misrepresenting things and Sega's terrible at explaining things. Functionally, Shadow, Rouge and Omega often work together and are close, but they're not an official team. Technically only Shadow is confirmed to work for GUN. In 06 Rouge isn't a part of GUN, she's just on loan (probably from the President). They'll obviously work together for missions (06, Forces) and even go racing together (TSR), but Shadow and Rouge have different bosses so they're not Team™ Dark™.
I suspect that's why there are restrictions on showing them as a trio in IDW, but that's mostly because Sega didn't want GUN to be mentioned

It's so polarizing to see statements that they arent friends but official stuff like this comes out too. Also to be completely honest, Im not a fan of Rouge becoming apart of the "gang". Like I get her fans (coomers) want her to interact with characters that arent omega and shadow but her being with sonics main group starting with prime feels even more forced than team dark could ever be. It also erases the few bits of her having a gray side even more. Which they always refused to ever truly follow through with (like with most things in this franchise)

She (and shadow for that matter) cant never do anything morally questionable or something another character would say "wow, that was very fucking shitty of you to do". And before you say anything, Im asking for rouge to mass murder or some shit, but do a form of bad that an average good character would heavily disagree with. Something that give them an actual distinction. I guess its kind of hopeless to expect though because the fans would reeee and general tendacy of this franchise to have mid writing so Ill always have a bit of a dislike for her.

Yeah, that's the problem. Anything coming out from Sega has been (poorly) translated across a cultural and linguistic barrier but (almost) everything from Ian and others working on the comics is biased and inaccurate. I'm not even sure if the "they're not friends" even came from Sega. In their bios, Shadow and Rouge have each other as their most trusted/important person so even if they don't braid each other's hair, they obviously care about each other and regularly work together.

Having Rouge in the Dreams game is really just them needing a girl Knuckles to go with girl Sonic (Amy) and girl Tails (Cream), and in Prime they never really explained what her deal was. Does she live in Green Hill too? Is she part of the Sonic and friends™ group or does she just drop by occasionally? I don't think we even get to see her interact with Shadow, which is a wasted opportunity to cement their current official relationship

It would be nice to see Rouge pull off some heists or for them to be more explicit with Shadow going too far. He (probably?) did kill all of Infinite's team in Forces, but they shy away from confirming anything

Theres always a bit of weirdness. But there is something I do wanna say, I trust what Ian says more on actual behind the scenes stuff than random fucks on the chans (no offense to you). Because if ian was really lying this much about stuff and considered disrepecting sonic team as much as people say he does. He would have been fired YEARS ago as they for sure pay attention to what he says regarding the franchise. fans tend to leave out that he always does say things do change at a whim too, and I feel some are too stubborn with changes happens, specially lore ones.
Yes her being in dream team does seem to be a type thing and in Prime she's clearly a friend as she's seen hanging out with them before the shatter as a super close friend than she usually is.

No worries, I'm not offended. I only go by what I see in the actual games and occasionally what the official twitter says. Even the interviews with Iizuka/Kishimoto/etc are pretty unreliable since the translations are garbage
>He would have been fired YEARS ago as they for sure pay attention to what he says regarding the franchise
Honestly, he's mega unprofessional on his podcast and I'm guessing they don't fire him since he's better behaved on twitter where more people pay attention. It's an odd situation where I feel Sega knows it isn't communicating well with the West, but isn't willing to change how they do things. They're definitely using Tailstube to correct some of the stuff Ian's gotten wrong though
>fans tend to leave out that he always does say things do change at a whim too
That's where I disagree with him, but I get not everyone sees things that way
>Shadow did kill that squad. He destroyed them.
He did, but it could've been handled better. I get that they can't show him snapping necks, but it would've been nice to have Infinite say something later in Shadow's DLC about getting revenge for his fallen comrades (unless he did and I missed it)

the recently released bio provide some actual wiggle room to actually allow it.

It was weird seeing people getting upset by it when it basically confirm "Yeah, they make a team". I just see it as Shadow being mega-tsundere or something "Yeah I just risked my life to save yours, but only because I see you as an asset to protect the earth just like MUUURIAH! wanted it, it's not like I am your friend or something... baka"

Man, that would've been awesome. If he was less lazy he easily could've got 4-6 issues out before it was canceled, which would've been plenty of time for Flynn to establish himself at Archie

IDK if any of you remember but the other day I mentioned reading archie and mentioning how I didnt understand the narrative that he was this big jerk the entire time without much good. and I was refering to old debates of archie and fleetway being the source of seeing it.

The stuff that contributes to the narrative that Archie Sonic is a jerk is under 5%, probably even less. It's just some bad stuff he did scattered across hundreds of issues where he's otherwise a really nice guy. Also character assassination by some writers. Fleetway Sonic is an ass but it's because he's dedicated to being a hero and he cares very much about saving everyone no matter how much they annoy him. He has difficulty opening up to people and his mouth is how he copes. I do wish he was nicer to Tails though but it's all banter.

Couldn't agree more. Sonic has some jerk moments but they're few and far between over the course of 20+ years. That said, Ian does write him as a bit of a jerk to Tails. It's pretty apparent just how patronizing he Sonic treats Tails in that one Boom episode he wrote

See that's what I think the intention partially was, to get them good at bantering. One thing that's common to all Robotniks is that they're weak to banter and frustrate easily, and that's when they make mistakes

Fleetway Sonic was also very concerned about his image and being the top hero. When he came back from the Special Zone and heard that Tails was doing well on his own, he refused to believe it. I liked how STCO continued that and Sonic supported him in that. I also like how Sonic was nicer to Charmy than the Chaotix were even though he also found Charmy incredibly annoying.

On the father's side, apparently.
While the Duchess title likely belong to Elias's wife, I was a bit confused by the mention of an Empress in plus of the Empress Dowager in the listing of those took part in the march, until I realised Nicole is talking in present tense and referring to Sally per her current tittle of Empress.

Everything is now clearer, now, but hey, at least it give me an excuse to repost this picture of Sally.

Not accurate at all in my experience, and I've read through the entire run over 5 times. Archie's extremely inconsistent if anything. It's most apparent in the Knuckles comics where we'll have interesting arcs with dumb moments followed by terrible arcs with the occasional good moment. Even the issues with Geoffrey creeping on Sally are fairly fun outside the panels with him. Of course we also have absolutely garbage specials like Live and the Image crossover, but those can also be ignored

They win, but Enerjak gets summoned and kills everyone and even though Enerjak is eventually beaten, he's exterminated all species on Mobius barring hedgehogs and echidnas since Manik and Knuxkles' daughter end up repopulating the planet, which incidentally makes Silver a direct descendant of theirs. Silver gets his future and its peaceful and happy, but again, there are only hedgehogs and echidnas on Mobius (and I guess Mogul too, since nobody kills him) so whilst he enjoys his 10 years of peace in his future, he eventually resolves to fix everything for good and saves everyone by going back in time one last time, which ultimately erases him from existence since he'd never be born without the circumstances leading to Manik and Lara-Su repopulating Mobius.

Rebel's in charge of the resistance in New Yolk City, Dread's captain of his ship, and jungle Amy's in charge of jungle world. You could also argue Nine's in charge of that one shatterspace he found and Shadow's the only living resident of desaturated Green Hill.
Also, I'm surprised he didn't notice that while they covered up Rouge's breasts, they added way more junk in her trunk

I thought that had always been the intend. At least just before you started the Archie ride, especially as, by that point, ASO will likely have bridged their last remaining gap in their series, allowing to finally story-time it in the intended reading order. And Forever will have a more substantial amount of issue to do.

And, who know, maybe even Retold will actually have its Retold-Grams finally done for its issue #5, but let's not get our hop too high, there.

Releasing pages weekly is preferable IMO to posting them in batches. That approach would keep the series fresher even though it would lose that comic book feel of getting entire issues at one time. I think Sonic Legacy managed to put out issues fast for a bit but it's been a while for them as well. The only other series that's as consistent as my series is Sonic the Continuation.

And what do you know, it's been just over a year since I started posting Sonic and the Freedom Fighters. The cover was posted on the website on November 13, 2022.

you also get a different rate of production when you pay an artist to do it rather than them drawing it either for themselves or for the project's sake.

Drawing is not the same time-sink, in term of organising your daily-life, when you get paid for it. At least this is how, as someone who isn't actually an artist, understand things.

I made this trying to follow two directives:
-as much as possible, respect the publishing order
-as much as possible, make so each issue can be read as whole
BUT Priority is given to:
-respect the chronology. if one issue state that a story took place before it, then put that story before it
-try to make arcs as undisrupted as possible.

THE PRIORITY IS TO MAKE THE READING AS SMOOTH AND COHERENT AS POSSIBLE.

In case you want me to elaborate a bit more as to why and how I made this, something that has increasingly bothered during this ride is when an ongoing plot is interrupted by a different story that clearly take place at a different point in time with completely different stake, especially if this is a mini-series done in the middle of an unrelated ongoing arc. It's particularly the case when it's in the form of a bonus story told over several issues.

But, depending of the situation, I have two different approaches. Let's take today's story time to illustrate my point:

For the Knuckles issues, you had the story of Knuckles getting an Date and Mighty trying to find ray. In the Knuckles story, Mighty is present at Echidnapolis. in the mighty Story he is away and it's clear he can't come back in between, it's impossible those two stories happen at the same time. So, to respect the chronology, you have split the successive issues in their distinctive stories, reassemble them into their own arcs and tell each arc as a whole one after the other. Let's call it the Mighty Rule.

For the Sonic issues, you also had tow stories: Sonic facing the swatbots and Jules and Bernie telling a story, but this time, it is clear that chronologically, they happen at the same time or at least in alternation to each other, so it is best to keep things the way the issues present them. Issues will be read as a whole one after the other. Let's call it the Jules&Bernie Rule.

One last rule is about the chronology is that in later publication they tell a story that clearly chronologically to take place way earlier in the series, but is meant to be told when it was published, YOU STILL TELL THAT STORY IN THE PUBLICATION ORDER. For example, you don't put the story of Naugus's origin before the first issue of Sonic the Hedgehog. I call it the Naugus Rule. However, I might break that rule from time to time when I consider it more convenient, especially for non-canon stuffs.

Anyway, if you are interested in a more detailed breakdown of my process, here it is, "chapter" by "chapter" (that I made up myself), in the following posts...

would you believe Sonic The Hedgehog wasn't always the epic Space-Fantasy of sword and sorcerer TV-Novella Saga that we all know? I am as surprised as you are.

Not much to say there, pretty much everyone agree on this order. I just placed the "Everything Old is Newt Again" story right after the Sonic: In Your Face! special as it give a direct alternative to the canon origin of Nicole. Conductor just did the same.

Also, I removed the Princess Sally teaser in issue# 20, as it clearly is meant to take place after issues #23

There isn't really a clear issue where you can pinpoint the switch in tone in the Archie Sonic comics, but the introduction of Spaz's art-style with the story of E.V.E. is as good as any. But don't worry, the zaniness isn't completely gone yet, far from it.

Still not much that need justification, aside from "Deadliest of the Species" having to be moved to before issue #24 as there is no possibility for Sally to have come back for issue #21, #22 and #23 while being on her mission in the Princess Sally mini-series. Per Mighty Rule, the teaser and the mini-series take place between issue #23 and #24, issue #24 which explicitly refer tot it and establish Sally just came back from it.

By the same Mighty Rules, the second part of "Growing Pains" must take place immediately after issue #28, whose events are explicitly referenced by the first part of "Growing Pains" and establish it take place right after, with no wiggle room for other events to take place (even if it doesn't make sense that Tails is suddenly upset). And still by the same logic, the Tails mini-series must take place right after "growing pain". Is it too much Tails in a row, well don't worry, because now come...

>Echidnas, echidnas everywhere!
aka the Knuckleing, aka Why Can't I Hold All those Knuckles, aka Whoops, All Knuckles...
I really hope you like Knuckles cause you are getting Knuckles at every meal, there. Keep at least one eye open cause his best friends the Chaotix just might pop in to wish him luck. Oh, and Sonic are sometimes there too...

Boy was this one a dozy. As of now, that was the most time consuming part in the making of this Reading Order. Almost make me think like Penders personally hated my guts. I know, I know, I can already see Conductor reeling seeing this...

But please understand, I am not the one who chose to start a story in a special, decided to continue it through several issues AND an other special, only to conclude it in its own mini-series, all the while only lasting in-story time probably LESS THAN HALF A DAY! It leave ZERO WIGGLE ROOM for anything else to happen in-between. The Migty Rule dictate that they all get together in a single go.

It's not all bad, though, having all those parts weaved in a single arc make for an easier and even enjoyable read. Many of those bits are just two pages comics anyway, which make it shorter than what you might think at first glance. Also, those who pay attention will remember that Tails's mini-series actually prelude to all of this Echidna arc, so it is actually neat to follow straight away with all of the echidna stuff, so the reader doesn't have the time to forget about it.

Anyway, once that bit is out of the way, there is no continuity contradiction to put the rest of the Super Sonic vs. Hyper Knuckles special issue after the Knuckle mini-series. Mighty being there sure wouldn't have allowed to put it in-between. Mighty rules, per usual.

I have also decide to drop the Archie & Friends: A Halloween Tale there, because there isn't really anywhere else it could fit and what do I have to lose at this point anyway. Robotnik is still alive but they also mention the events cause by Ian Droid, making it incompatible with any point in the continuity, but we can just chose to ignore that.

Phew, that part is done. Moving on...

>Roboticisation intensifies
Back to normal business. For some reason, a lot of those stories have a bigger focus on the plot point of Roboticization. Whether it was intentional or not, I am making it the thematic of this bundle. We start directly with Sally volunteering of Roboticization. I heard it does great for the skin.

We are back to materials that are easier to manage. Just remove the echidna stuff. The one thing to be wary of is that the Bonus story of issue #32, where Rotor try to rescue his people, has to be done first to follow on the first part in issue #31, other wise, you can't explain why Rotor is present. Mighty Rule.

This is also the first time I break the Naugus Rule for a canon story and putting the Sonic Super Special #5: Sonic Kids right after issue #38. In its publishing order, it's put interrupting ongoing stories and the final story chronologically follow issue #38. Plus issue #38 get to show us Sonic as a little baby, so that sealed the deal for me. Stories of the FF fighting Robotnik fit better before issue #50 anyway and I don't think seeing Merlin earlier cause any trouble to the general story.

I could shuffle things around and put “Total Re-Genesis” right after "The Rise of Robotropolis...The Fall of Sonic!" and lump "Bedtime Tails" with all of the Kids stories, but it read well enough as it is. Let's keep the issues whole when possible and consider the other stories as flashbacks and/or intermissions.

>Oh yeah, there is a King to rescue, I guess?
What is more important than saving the king? Everything. But let's do that anyway.

I could have lumped it all with End Game, but most of those issue are so focused on retrieving and healing Max (only to conclude with a sort of nothing-burger) that I consider it make a chapter of its own.

One thing that bothered me was how issue #41 having Geoffrey present at the end, only for him to have been gone for a while and just come back at the start of Sonic Quest. Surely, something must have happened in-between and this is where Sonic Blast special fit nicely, especially as it starts with Sonic telling Sally he is surprised she knew Knuckles beforehand, so not long after it became public knowledge.

Per Jules&Bernie Rule (it can't always been Mighty), I don't need to Frankenstein the different part s of Knuckle Quest. It even explicitly states that events of other issues take place between each part. Let's keep things chronological.

There is no continuity contradiction in putting Sonic Live after issue #42 and this way issue #42 can be kept whole. Tails simply came back for the start of Sonic live, after he showed Knuckles the big hole in the ground.

Anyway, for who did I do that? For new readers? I doubt it's a very good recommendation for new readers to jump from one issue to the other.
Maybe for TP to reorganise his file for the next time there is an archie Sonic Story time. Though, per experience, we have learned the audience is not too keen on the Knuckling (what you thought there would be only one?) It might be too much even for the Conductor.

So, for a future publisher who somehow secure the right again so that they have a correct order of publication? Let's go with that, sure...

Anyway, I needed to do this and now it's done. until we hit issue 100 but I think it won't be as hard this time (I hope).

Jesus Christ. I am convinced there is some Evil Font Conspiracy that prevent you to see the spelling and phrasing mistakes when you write in a text box, but use a slightly different font that make them all pop in you face when you read them once published.
