A new thread so that means more fancomics to start things off. First up is an interesting series with a gay and chubby Uncle Chuck as he runs a different kind of Secret Freedom Fighters. There’s not many pages of this series and the pages don’t come out that frequently but there’s enough to see where this story is going. This is Diamond in the Rough!
>>458740 >YO! Thought it'd be neat to do a redraw of a certain secret freedom fighter comic panel but using my au sff team instead! And it looks like the skunk is not who they're looking for but two delinquents instead. Wonder who they can be hmmmm?!
>>458713 Mmmmh, a piece seems to be missing in the middle. Not even sure the two part are at the same intended size. Anyone has the complete full spread?
>>458745 Yes, it's a very cute style. >>458746 First we got Locke and Max, now it's Chuck and Nigel. People can't help but ship them Acorns. >>458747 I remember wanting to put another two halves of an image from the Archie Sonic comics together and there was a gap that never quite fit together.
Sorry for missing the last thread, I've been working on a major update for the website. You can now update artist details and comic descriptions/tags/etc using a convenient embedded form! It uses Google Forms under the hood, but you don't need to be logged in and it doesn't record email addresses. It's no secret I haven't had time to update the comics so I'm really hoping there'll be interest in this. More info here: https://the-ride.neocities.org/updates/2023-12-30/
>>458726 They're all so cute and chonky! >>458733 Nigel's so smug and handsome! >>458734 >Is this is also Sonic Underground lmao >>458736 Sigh. Would >>458746 It's like the wholesome version of Max x Locke >>458747 So many of them are like this. Clearly designed to fit together, but they never quite line up >>458749 Poor robo-Sonic ;_; >>458750 If we end up with a roboticized Sally for 20+ issues I'm calling Flynn and we're having an intervention!
Soon I'll be working on issue 6 and I have some pages written for a possible Knuckles series. Another thing I need to work on is getting more money. Things are finally rolling but it ain't cheap. >>458757 Oh hey it's the artist that paired Tails with their big titty witch OC (after aging Tails up).
>>458771 Oooh, interesting. I'd really like to see a Knuckles series from you. Would obvs be better than penders' knuckles series hopefully. Also obviously it'll have a lot of archie knux stuff but I'd recommend to study fleetway knux too. He's a really nice version of knuckles.
>>458772 I've read all of Fleetway Sonic and that Knuckles is one of my favorites. Unfortunately there's not much to him aside from being smarter than almost any other version. His history is vague and was never explained before cancellation and even though Zachary came before Finitevus, there's not much more to him than being an evil albino echidna for reasons. But I do find the echidnas' possible ties to space and conflict with the drakon to be interesting.
>>458780 DA's algorithm is weird as fuck. I'll see 1000 images about x topic with 1 of them being loosely related to y topic and it'll suddenly fill my front page with y.
>>458781 It took me a while to mostly get rid of the cursed stuff. Telling DA that you want to see less barely works and you have to look at a bunch of stuff from a lot of different artists. But if you so much as glance at some random fetish image then you better get ready to see more. >>458782 It gets worse when there's some unseen overlap. So an extra topic gets mixed in with your usual stuff.
>>458771 >Oh hey it's the artist that paired Tails with their big titty witch OC (after aging Tails up). If Sega doesn't give Tails a GF, the fandom will do it for them
https://twitter.com/STHComicsHourly/status/1741021426662985847 It's interesting to see people reacting to random Archie pages. The good thing is that because it's random there's a greater chance that someone sees something that isn't bait of some kind. Not posting the page since it's from issue 220 but if you want to see Lien-Da's feet then you can check it out. >>458789 Someone is annoyingly efficient.
someone in the ride thread said that an idw superior sonic would be neat, and was responded to that who would switch with sonic, the answer is zavok, he already expressed his feelings on sonics inability to finish foes, and he leads a team of 6, he would be the doc ock and sonic in zavok's body would have to try and get his body back.

>>458756 It's so maddening! >>458759 Utterly horrifying! >>458762 Oh boy, more of my secret favorite comic! >>458764 Rude Knuckles, rude! >>458768 If only he had some sort of ability to stop himself from falling! >>458771 >I have some pages written for a possible Knuckles series. Plap fucking plap! >>458780 Here's something to set everyone's DA algorithm back on track: https://www.deviantart.com/black-rat/gallery/11116530/comics-n-seqs sorry not sorry >>458786 It really is coming along nicely! >>458788 Never a moment's rest for our heroes >>458789 And we thought Archie Eggman was evil! >>458798 Rouge really is a good friend >>458808 lmao

>>458818 Just two more issues to do and the tapestry will be complete. Maybe even in time for when conductor will be finished with the official Archie Ride.
>>458824 How much did someone pay for this? Tailsfags are something else. I should know since I'm one, that Tails thread can be a hit or miss depending on the time
>>458829 It'll be fun to revisit them all and I hope a lot of anons jumping on for the Archie Ride stick around. More people need to see why fancomics are so good. >>458830 Despite Krystal's exposed toes, that's part of her original design, it's not focused on feet and Yardley is fine with something playful. It was probably at least $100. Maybe more since it's not digital.
>>458832 Why does Rosemary not wear shoes while Amadeus does? >>458833 I feel bad for him. He deserves getting consistent comic work but it seems he's done with that. It's just commissions and the occasional comic for him.
Just wanna say thanks for doing the archie ride, conductor. My year has been honestly pretty shitty, but the archie ride is a real highlight. Thanks for all that. Happy New Years to you and everyone else!
>new ASO >geoffrey gets redeemed >naugus is defeated and loses his powers, they let him go >Who wants to recruit Geoffrey >hershey forgives him >he still allowed to be in new mobotropolis >no murder or jail for both Lame
>>458847 Good news, I've added all of them to the website in easy to storytime format! I'm thinking of doing this for all of the larger comics https://the-ride.neocities.org/comics/2021-09-30-archie-sonic-online/
>>458852 I can't believe you copied my Mobian OC! Mine's called Felix the Cat and he was born with a special power. he was stronger than all his classmates in the sonic fighting academy. he served in the sonic military fighting shadow and in the final battel against shadow they were fighting and shadow turned him to the darkness and felix turned against sonic and killed him Seriously though, I can't believe Mickey's public domain now (or at least his original design is)
>>458855 Interesting. However, I know you gathered them this way to keep them by series, but I would suggest you put Endangered Species before the issues of Sonic online, as they chronologically take place before them >>458829 Incidentally, it would made all of the currently released issue in the chronological order (with legends being "non-canon")

>>458726 It's been 84 years... but the newest issue of the mainline Archie Sonic Online is here! When we last left off, Geoffrey was possessed by Naugus and transformed into a big ugly bastard! Now Sonic flies into the fight with the (second) Sword of Acorn! Will he save the day? Let's find out!
>>458915 I saw someone bring it up but they mentioned why dont they use the sword to bring antoine back and thats a good point. I hope they thought of that
>>458916 I think naugus makes for a good reoccurring bad guy to represent the magical side of sonic since eggman is all tech >>458920 Damn, I hope gets trhought this and not too long of a benching away while she recovers
Image:170415113878.jpg(2.69MB, 2025x3075)Sonic the Hedgehog Online 253-26.jpg
>>458923 Wheee! >>458922 >Damn, I hope gets trhought this and not too long of a benching away while she recovers Sally was long overdue for another benching. The next one will be when she can't find one of her boots.
>>458927 >>458928 you know, i dont understand why frontiers made knuckles have some big deal about doing nothing but guarding when he did stuff like this to help out or get out before the game. so dumb
Image:170415140941.jpg(1.31MB, 2025x3075)Sonic the Hedgehog Online 253-33.jpg
>>458932 WORDS >>458930 Maybe just to give him motivation to do something on his own again. Now the real question is if he'll be playable in any meaningful way.
>>458938 Thanks conductor. I thought this was pretty nice, some guy earlier said it was lame, but I think some happiness is deserved after all the grimdark. I think my only concern is the thing about the sword able to heal. They should address that and explain why they just dont use it again on ANt.
>>458939 I'm not 100% sure but aside from Geoffrey not dying, it seemed to be more about removing corruption. So maybe easing the corruption was able to keep him from dying or staying dead. He was still beat up when he came out of the ground. Or we can just say Acorn hax mixed with the sword. The original Sword of Acorns would've brought everyone that died back from the dead if it got to be with Sally.
>>458940 >spoiler Yeah but too bad it would have fucked her up real bad in the long run with its bs and it being a literal simp for her anytime she went any distance away
Saw this tweet of people taking it seriously when it's an obvious jab at purist tards. Have not laughed so hard in such a long time too. fucking kek https://twitter.com/McMistle/status/1741895819060482143
>>458949 The good news is that the first arc is pretty episodic. It's still considered one arc but the issues can be split up. At first I had the last issue put off to the next thread but after last thread I moved the last two issues into the next two threads. Doing three issue threads when possible will be best. But the SU arc after that has to be all done in one thread.
>Translated a couple of horror manga stories via chat gpt and other tools. And now I wonder how accurate translation ended up to be. In general ai translated stuff is enough to understand the general plot, but I have some doubts in some parts. I still have some Spanish and Japanese Sonic fancomics that need translating. I wonder if the person added the text themselves or if the ai did it as well. Also, this seems like goth horror yuri and I'd be definitely into that.

>>458071 >>458132 https://www.deviantart.com/underworldcircle/gallery/all Small (and probably final) update on the situation. It looks like he has removed that DA entry. Probably due to the OG artist reporting him. No comment or apology from UC, as if nothing had ever happened, though.
A shame it ends like this, but at least it's somehow resolved.
>>458726 Through all the continuities, nobody has a more varied past than Knuckles. So what's Sonic Legacy's take? How about a little bit of everything? It's all flavors of Sonic 3 mixed into one! Let's see what's up with Knuckles and how his first meeting with the good doctor goes!
>>459003 Pretty neat I guess. It's a retelling of him meeting eggman per the course. Personally tho, I kinda dislike fan comics that just retell the games but at least theres a bit of variance here. I do prefer more original stuff but whatevs. It's neat and I hope they can release more

>>458726 https://www.deviantart.com/roseduelistbbshm/ StH|EXCEDIS - pg10 An interesting take on Sonic's shoes and socks. Apprently, that kind of socks is a real thing. Don't try to read too much into the artist's intent.
>>459021 Sonic has attempted to conceal his grippers, he must thus be punished accordingly so.
By the way, Conductor, did you notice that Rose actually faved a few few pages of your comic. One of them being a recent one where Sonic and Sally seemed to have special plans right before getting cockblocked by an explosion, that is. You got yourself a fan.
>>458970 >What's wrong with The Great Peace? Scourge's parents didn't pay him enough attention, so he wrecked everything. Apparently Flynn intended the peace to actually be oppressive and cruel to the citizenry >What's Suppression Squad endgame?

Frankly between this and needless cruelty in the comic, I've kinda given up on posting and reading it >>458982 He was in Underground so maybe that's why >>458985 >Despite its name, that doesn't look like an egg. I do like that Flynn/Yardley actually make it egg-shaped. >>458986 FYI, there is an ancient Echidna prophecy about a great dragon egg, which is why Robotnik was able to trick Knuckles in the game >>458991 Sonic looking extra handsome! >>459003 >A giant Sonic is hiding behind the Death Egg! Hey, this isn't a Boom comic! >>459014 I really like the idea that every character gets their own Super color, with Tails' being blue because he admires Sonic >>459015 The marking are a nice touch >>459020 Another peak at robo-Sonic's loveheart-shaped butt-cheek markings! >>459021 The only acceptable type of socks! >>459023 Nice! >>459025 I thought I recognized that artstyle! >>459026 Darkspine Tails actually looks cooler than Darkspine Sonic
>>459028 No fun allowed means no fun allowed! I mentioned they could find a link on the website since that's usually fine. Honestly, between the updated captcha and the new cloudflare update breaking 4chanx, I'm looking forward to our own board more than ever
>>459030 >between the updated captcha and the new cloudflare update What's up with that anyway? what does it do? >>459027 > I've kinda given up on posting and reading it Thing is, I am still invested in it and I'll even admit I am actually into that kind of edgy stuff, but what he has done in real life here has really spoiled my enjoyment of his comic. There really was no need for what he did and even less justification for how he reacted to it.
>>459031 If it's anything like my site, all the fun updates can't be done until a bunch of less fun updates are done first >>459032 >What's up with that anyway? what does it do? It "strengthens security" and "helps prevent bots." Of course, it doesn't do either, and the real reason is to encourage more anons to buy a pass >Thing is, I am still invested in it and I'll even admit I am actually into that kind of edgy stuff, but what he has done in real life here has really spoiled my enjoyment of his comic.

I was already kinda disappointed with the guy for all the art shortcuts, and the use of AI art for the food, but the way he acted here was just disgusting. On the plus side, at least we've got another artist to follow >>459034 lmao
https://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/141497584 Not a bad issue but not a very exciting one. Definitely good for those that just want a simple Sonic and Tails story.

Sonic and the Freedom Fighters Issue 5 Page 7 https://mobiuscomics.com
Eggman’s back and he’s making quite the statement with this attack! He’s got the chaos emeralds and in typical villain fashion, he’s captured the princess as well! And to make matters worse, Metal Sonic is here! But isn’t he missing something now?
Any progress on having a good version of Sonic and the Scret Ring comic in good quality? Might as well post it now, after this landmark. I have found this https://archive.org/details/secret-rings/page/n5/mode/2up if someone is ready to scrap the content from it.
>>459053 Missed this thread, but I might as well share my thoughts on Sonic killing: >>If given the chance, should Archie Sonic kill Eggman? Not allowing Eggman to die by not saving him but actually go for the kill. If not, then what should Sonic do? He should, would, and has. At the end of Endgame, Sonic was just about to punch him to death Robotnik, but Snively got to him first. Fleetway and AoStH/Boom Sonics are the only ones that wouldn't kill their Eggman (due to guilt and due to him not really being a threat respectively). As for game Sonic, he either blows his mech/base up and assumes (with good reason!) he's died (S1-S&K, Unleashed, Colors, Generations, Lost World, Forces), is actively pursuing him (SA1), leaves him be since he helped save the world (SA2, 06, Frontiers), or he wasn't the actual villain (Heroes, StH). He obviously won't kill him in cold blood, but in most games Sonic goes for the kill without hesitation. If anything, Eggman's continued existence is a testament to his survival skills. I 100% agree with the anon that said Movie Sonic's the most bloodthirsty. Dude would've snapped Robotnik's neck if his family didn't talk him out of it As for the "Eggman doesn't kill" thing, I think it's because Archie started off with silly AoStH-style stories but evolved into Robotnik being easily the most evil version of the character. For whatever reason, Flynn only has Sonic going for the kill a few times in his early Archie run, but phases it out to the point where he's absolutely no-kill in IDW. Maybe he's a Batman fan? >>459056 He really is the worst. I absolutely love his expression in the second panel, he's having so much fun being horrible! >>459069 Whoops, I completely forgot about that! I've converted it, cleaned up the jpeg artifacts, and added it to the mega.
Espio being there in the Free comic Book Day Special 2007, when he is supposed to have been captured in issue #175 would mmeans that it take place before the wedding, but Bunnie wearing the wedding ring in the 2007 FCBD issue means that it take place AFTER issue #175. This is clearly irreconcilable, continuity wise, much more than what the issues suggest the completion state of the eggbeater actually is.
For me, this is proof that Espio is related to Valdez. God damn Chameleons.
I guess we'll just assume this is a different Chameleon that just happen to have the same Color as Espio. Atleast he is not named by name. I am putting 2007 FCBD after issue #174, because of the wedding ring. It's the only moment it can take place.
>>459071 Cool! >>459072 I agree it has to happen between 174 and 175. In 174 Antoine and Bunnie get married and start wearing rings, and at the end of FCBD, Eggman's about to get in the Eggbeater mech he uses in 175. I guess Chameleons really do have the ability to appear in group shots even if they're captured/roboticized!
>>459076 My guess is it's the version included in one of the trade paperbacks. The one that came in the Target DVD doesn't have page numbers, and doesn't have a cover
>>459080 It's only now that I understand that the marking on Knuckles's chest is something she just painted with the white stuff in the bawl, in the flashback, there.
>>459085 Yeah, it's painted on but is also permanent. Honestly, I consider this canon since the other Echidna in SA1 and the movies have white markings too >>459086 Huh. I'd completely forgotten about that one too. I've got it on my 3ds but I'll look around to see if anyone's uploaded it somewhere already
I see people are sharing their hot and spicy sally related takes on Xitter. What controversial takes do you guys have? Mine is that Sallicole is a boring af ship. None of the spice and playful banter like that Sonally has.
>>459084 >The Parasite tries to take over Shadow >The Black Doom part of his DNA starts fighting against it >All it does is that it makes Shadow more irritable, a BAD headache and a somewhat runny nose
Out of curiosity cause I think a plus4chan dev still lurks these threads, are there any plans to implement an auto scrolling to the start of the post when I minimize its image ?
What I mean is basically clicking to expand a big vertical image like in >>459084 for example, and when I scroll down a little and click to minimize the image, it would scroll my view up back to the post itself.
