Mortal Comics' Shadow the Hedgehogthirstposter ## VIP

Welcome /co/cksluts, to a very special storytime! With the recent(ish) release of Sonadow generations, and the completion of Shadow's very own manga, I thought I'd dig up what is probably the oldest comic about our favorite edgy hedgy. How old? The first issue came out July 6th of 2001, a mere 17 days after Sonic Adventure 2 released on the Dreamcast so don't expect this to follow the plot at all. Now for some caveats before we begin:

This comic is rough:
While it's clear a lot of heart's gone into it, the resolution is not great. Keep in mind that most people were on dialup back then so each of these images could take over a minute to load. I've chosen not to remove the jpeg compression artefacts and also chosen not to upscale the images as I want readers to experience this comic in its original form.

This comic is incomplete:
While I've spent a lot of time scouring the Internet Archive's wayback machine, many pages are simply lost to us. I've done my best, but unless the original artist has a copy, this is sadly the most complete set of images available.

Story and art by Matt Duplisea

Brief History of Mortal Comics
>Mortal Comics started in July 2001 with 'Shadow the Comic'. It was a big hit and was the featured comic of the Mortal Comics site until May 2003, when the comic 'The Matrix' was launched. It quickly boosted interest in Mortal Comics, giving the site new life. In September of 2003, 'Ultimate Shadow' was launched, again drawing interest from Sonic fans like Shadow the Comic did two years earlier.

>By August of 2004, Matt Lenz departs from the Sonic Community, and Mortal Comics, though still up, had no releases for nearly a year. By July of 2005, Mortal Comics is officially taken down from SonicVerse Team's Servers.

>February, 2006. Matt Lenz talks with Sonic Adventurer, former owner of the SonicVerse Team, for the first time in over 2 years. The conversation leads to the discussion of creating new fan comic books - ORIGINAL ones, this time around. Leading to the creation of the first new Mortal Comics book in over 2 years, titled 'D.M.R.' standing for 'Dark-Martin-Ray'.

>I have restored what I could of Mortal Comics' various works, however a lot of data was lost over time from SonicVerse Team's various server changes. If anyone has any missing data, feel free to e-mail it to me at SolarTails at hotmail.com

Yes, I'll email them with the comics once I've finished storytiming these comics. Now, as Shadow famously said in Sonic 06 - Let's get moving!

I must know... How were you created?

Gerald always knew that the military would come for him sooner of later... So he set up a default auto creation system to create me to make the humans of earth suffer in case the biolizard didn't succeed in destroying earth...

When the biolizard was destroyed, the auto creation system created me as the Ark was auto-piloted to earth. It has been 24 hours since the biolizard was destroyed. Now, I must avenge Gerald... at any cost.

Now I must fulfill my mission. Good bye.

No... When I tel to Earth, I still had a last surge of power from my hyper form. I used my energy shield to break through the atmosphere. When the military agency, GUN, found out about the mix up between you and me*, they came after me... so I hid away in Koren city...

Yeah, my guess is they were too busy with the current ongoing plots, and still burnt out with the shitshow that was the Sonic Adventure adaption. If Spaz hadn't imported a Japanese copy and translated the plot for them, they'd only have had the few paragraphs of plot they received from Sega

We here are groups of overlanders and mobians who wanted to live in peace together. Our leaders rejected the thought, and so we banded together and formed this village.

With no money for weapons and such, we're vulnerable to attack. As you can see, we're all carrying food.

Yeah. Why?

Because a group of mobians threaten us harm we don't provide food for them.

That's a good point! You could already see Penders starting to make Shadow's already messy backstory even more complicated towards the end of his run. I still crack up at him having Locke exclaim that Shadow's neither animal, mineral, nor vegetable!

>1)Locke isn't as smart as he thinks he is,
Locke (and the entire council of secret grandpas) have got massive blindspots. They're absolutely unable to see beyond their outdated traditions. Knuckles isn't like that, and that's why he's able to save the day when they can't.

Officer Riley, G.U.N. Missionary Task Force. Digital diary, Record #4465032.01 June 23rd, 1991. I have been keeping this secret for 40 years, but I cannot keep it any longer. This will be my last entry in my digital diary... As I am to be executed in mere minutes. Whoever gets this... Release the on the Ark (release this on the Ark?, Realize that on the Ark?). 40 years ago G.U.N. invaded the Ark in order to capture the ultimate life form codenamed: Shadow.

They killed many who stood in their path, and wounded one girl, the granddaughter of the great scientist... Professor Gerald Robotnik. Just to make Gerald suffer more before they executed him, they told him they had killed her and even forged a death certificate for her, and placed her in a cryogenic tube aboard the Ark.

I don't know why they didn't kill her, as ruthless as they are, but they didn't... and because of this, I cannot keep their ruthlessness a secret any longer. They are going to execute me. Good bye.

Ha ha! How little you know Shadow! He didn't kill them! They're not dead!

Dark had actually paid them to act, just to fool you! Yes he HAD evil inside him, but he's always been good in his heart... that's why he escaped from the ARK in the first place. However, he's decided NOT to destroy the planet or anything else even BEFORE knowing MAria was still alive.

Journal

What'd you find?

"My progress in creating the ultimate lifeform is coming along fantastically. My first prototype, the Biolizard, wasn't even close enough to the strength of the real ultimate lifeform I'm trying to create should have! However, by mixing the DNA of a mutated slug with ring energy, I've created 3 of the same type (of) creature, which I simply call 'Prototype 2.' However, THEY are even weaker than the Biolizard. So I've decided to go with the DNA of a Hedgehog and Chaos Emerald energy. I've finally done it! I've codenamed him Shadow! HE is the ultimate lifeform...."

God... All the lies he told me and Maria...

Let us depart...

I've come for the chaos emerald! I heard you were coming here to regain a chaos emerald little fox!

Now, GIVE IT TO ME!

They're also about the cause of 35% of the bullshit on Mobius. Eggman accounts for 55%, everyone else is worth 10%.

Why did it want to destroy the Earth?
Because of Maria. 50 years ago, Gerald Robotnik had thought she had been killed. He set up different things to destroy Earth to have his revenge. The Biolizard, trying to crash the Ark into the planet, DARK, even... me. The Biolizard releasing that egg must of been one final attempt, and now that you've found it, who KNOWS what it holds! It must be destroyed, NOW!

Nighttime in Wind City.

Its bustling avenues create immense sounds that echo through every alleyway...

---every street corner...

..but high above the streets where Shadow the Hedgehog lives, the sounds do not effect him.

Instead, Shadow blocks them out as he focuses on his prime objective of the moment...

..making contact with an old friend.

Give a description of the bat to all troops. Make sure every detail is down. We MUST find the bat. At least we still have one more emerald, and it's hid elsewhere on Earth, where NO ONE will be able to find it except for the few who know where it is. Get to work on this PDQ, general.
