>>18115 >/sthg/ is dead /fast/ is going to some interesting places at least. Pic related Seriously though, I'm pleasantly surprised by /fast/ >>18119 >Could 4chan survive this year? If we look at the current state of affairs: >50% drop in activity since 2022 >30% drop in activity since hack >probably a corresponding 30% loss in ad revenue >everyone knows the site's an insecure mess, so no one will want to buy a pass >jannies and mods phonebooked and demoralized >hiro somehow even more checked out than usual >alt-chan renaissance I don't think it'll die this year but I'm not sure I'd call it alive either. Saturday Night Live is technically still around after all. If they get hacked again I'm prepared to call it though
I'll just repeat this from last thread: >/sthg/ is dead It may have been a cesspool of some of the worst aspects of the fandom, but there was some good there, you just had to know where to look.
>>18138 eh, closer to 25% for global posts, depending on how you count. The site went from ~700k daily posts to ~550k. The bigger boards are the ones most affected. /vg/ indeed dropped by 30%.
>>18138 >>18139 I guess the idiot 4chan mods didn't realize that people wouldn't miss 15-minute posting wait times and would flock to any available alternative sites.
>>18141 A more interesting thing would be, did altchan activity rise by anywhere near the same amount? Of course, this would be impossible to measure; if for no other reason than that people may have flocked to other social media sites too in return.
>>18140 I'll argue yes, because the idea is structurally sound for an interesting viewpoint: someone good created by someone evil. That is a classic setup you can milk for all sorts of soap opera drama and interesting character conflicts that make a comic book run.
If she were introduced in Archie, with old Archie writers, she would have gotten loads of development and content. They woulda milked that drama like crazy. We would have gotten an Evil Belle arc, a redemption arc, a courtroom drama, a clue parody, we woulda gotten Belle with huge titties drawn by Butler, we would have had it all within 12 issues!
However, we exist in this hell called the present, where Sonic is treated more like a mascot than a character, subject to corporate oversight and heavy-handed management, and a stable of writers that seem reluctant to push such an emotional envelope, to put it charitably. When the majority of the characters in a comic have to be blandly relatable, safe, and level-headed, any fun storytelling possibilities with Belle can't flourish.
>>18138 >>18139 Yeah, it's pretty bad. We're one week post-restoration and things have stabilized at around 25% fewer posts. >>18140 Not a fan of Belle personally, but with some tweaks she could be a pretty interesting character. It's a shame she got upstaged by Sage. It'd be interesting if Belle tried capturing Eggman to turn him back into Mr Tinker >>18142 An anon looked into it here: >>>/baw/435404 IMO, anons flocking to altchans have seen just how not-shit imageboards can be and I'm guessing many just aren't coming back. Everyone now knows that the schizos and funposters are under the active protection of 4chan's jannies and that's not going to change. If anything, they're now even more concentrated. It'll likely always be the largest imageboard by post volume, but its cultural relevancy is dwindling. After all, an imageboard is only as good as the quality of its users Having spent so much time there I thought I'd feel bad about its decline, but honestly I feel nothing. And why should I when the people running the place don't?
>>18148 It'd be intriguing if the Robotnik Family has various traits >Mecha has Ivo's coldness >A.D.A.M. had his scheming/planing >Sage has his need of order >Belle has his want to, well, tinker see what makes technology tick >Junior has Eggman's love of theme parks >Shadow has their relentless drive via Gerald >Hope is a classic scientist, always building, always want to learn. Very mechanical. >Metal Sonic wants to conquer/prove he's the best
>>18148 Yeah, the only reason I go there is because new posts come quickly, but when every thread is a general, this is completely lost because I only see the same threads I don't care about all day long. So why spend time there.
https://www.deviantart.com/finikart/art/Comm-Under-the-sea-998850044 What an interesting choice for a daily deviation today! >>18127 I'll be sure to include it next time. >>18152 >lmao what The image is based on the early Archie story where Tails ate that apple that made him smart for a while.
>>18149 Yeah, it's a great way to explore his character >>18150 lmao >>18153 That person's always commissioning artists to draw barefoot Sonic characters swimming underwater Based!

7pm EST tonight, we continue Mortal Comics' Shadow the Hedgehog! I'm also going to update the Klonoa comic, so you have until then to get caught up! >>>/co/454356
>>18318 >Might do Drogune next week if there's interest Man I tried reading that because I like tomboys but I lost interest fast. Don't let that discourage you from storytiming it though.
>>18320 Fun fact, the Konductor does the exact same thing since he's been Iizuka the entire time. Don't believe me?, then have you ever seen Iizuka appear in public at the same time as one of our storytimes? Case closed! >>18322 The Klonoa fancomic I'm storytiming is actually a sequel of one of those. Looks like the site shut down, but might be worth digging up some of these comics https://namco.fandom.com/wiki/ShiftyLook >>18323 Yeah, the art's great and I absolutely love the character designs, but it felt like I was reading a wiki, not a comic. You can get away with it in traditional comics, but can't really get away with that amount of story decompression in a webcomic or graphic novel. Obviously it's not at IDW-levels of decompression, but at least 1/3rd could be cut or condensed
>>18324 >Fun fact, the Konductor does the exact same thing since he's been Iizuka the entire time. Don't believe me?, then have you ever seen Iizuka appear in public at the same time as one of our storytimes? Case closed! That just adds lore to this.
>>18325 I wish Sega would so something similar with their non-Sonic properties >>18326 Deepest lore! Just you wait, one day you'll slip up and add the Zeti OCs, and then I'll have all the proof I need! Now I'm wondering how Penders would've handled the current mandates. I'm almost certain he'd have grafted his Star Trek/Kirby/Bond lore onto the Zeti instead of Echidnas
>>18031 Sonic Desolation 4-29 https://sonicdesolation.tumblr.com And so we end chapter 4 with Cream stunned and Traumanic on the roof. I hope you all learned a valuable lesson on laundering someone's clothes without permission!
>>16965 Teaching of Fear 7-18 looks like the page numbers are fixed now https://www.deviantart.com/ora-ivory/art/Teaching-of-Fear-Issue-7-Page-18-1190522691 Rude!
>>18322 >>18325 Looks like someone archived them! Downloading now, as they might be good for a Sonic-adjacent storytime https://www.mediafire.com/folder/6xmv4xv4tmvvz/ShiftyLook
>>18327 >I wish Sega would so something similar with their non-Sonic properties Funny enough, Fleetway technically did that with Sonic The Comic with the various Sega IPs they showcased in that comic
For Mister Conductor I don't know if you know of this one It's ongoing It starts as Naruto and then Sally exists (I thought of you) https://www.deviantart.com/rad654/gallery/87692833/a-maelstrom-s-mobius-misadventure The commissioner says it's based on https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14035089/1/A-Maelstrom-s-Mobius-Misadventure but quickly looking there is no end to the story.
>>18333 Nice to see him finally get a win (for a few panels at least) >>18335 I remember that one from a few years ago! IIRC, he held off because none of the Mobians had shown up yet. Looks like Sally finally showed up this year so I might storytime it if the Konductor isn't interested
I don't know why people get Silver's characterization so wrong, it's literally just this >>18332 Those were actually pretty cool, and exactly what I had in mind >the various Sega IPs And sometimes Konami's! Man, I wish they were able to continue the Sparkster comic
>>18049 Chaos in Order Page 27 https://www.deviantart.com/maxsmonsters That's gotta hurt!
From the author: >The directions of movement in this one are dubious, but I can't just mirror a frame in tradition work, so it'll have to stay this way :grump:
>>18329 Teaching of Fear 7-19 looks like the page numbers are fixed now https://www.deviantart.com/ora-ivory/art/Teaching-of-Fear-Issue-7-Page-19-1191023287 So many cute twinks! They're actually people's OCs so I won't claim any
>>18354 SPFAU: Chapter 5 Page 20 https://www.deviantart.com/ebetto And that's it for chapter 5!
From the author: >SPF is not back on regular schedule yet, just catching you guys up to Chapter 6
>We had a whole deliberation about what the snake from the Mystic Jungle stage was supposed to be. And though it seemed like it would be based on a Boa, its fangs made no sense. So now this one is based on a Wagler's Pit Viper.
>Julian and Snively were part of a space expedition from about 2200 (or thereabouts). Julian attempted a takeover of the colony, but his technology got out of control and he wound up destroying everything, narrowly escaping with his (and Snively's) lives. Meanwhile, back on Earth, a nuclear holocaust had destroyed human life as we knew it - and the animals who survived mutated into sentient beings and built the society which you see in the form of Mobius. Einstein's ideas of the passage of time during faster-than-light space travel kick in and thousands of years have passed by the time Julian and Snively returned to find this "Animal" world. Well, Julian's thought was that in the land of the four-pawed critters, the two-handed man is king and so he set about to take over - as outlined in Blast to the Past. What did Ben mean by this?
>>18349 Teaching of Fear 7-20 https://www.deviantart.com/ora-ivory/art/Teaching-of-Fear-Issue-7-Page-20-1191355579 Knuckles looks so sad in that last panel ;_;
>>18358 >>18359 Fun fact: Kuta's movie script adapts that version, so you know it's extra cursed! I really need to get around to storytiming its storyboards >>18360 Make way for the superior pair of siblings! Sonic and Tails wish they had this style >>18362 Sally's eyes have finally beheld the OTP!
https://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/148493543 https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/148493543 And I'll post this here. Another issue I don't have to storytime!
>>18371 lmao >>18374 Yeah, those were great! I really hope they do more episodes >>18381 Now that's some Captain N-esque art! >>18385 >tune in next issue for the actual story to start! Oh ODW, you say that every issue! >>18388 That James guy has the right idea, IDW should hire him to write some issues! >pawpads >four (4) fingers >pawpad design on shoes, implying a non-blobfooted sonic How did this get through the censors!? >>18389 Making the top scars blue (they'd be red or flesh-colored) is probably how it snuck through. If you didn't know about top scars, you just think they'd altered his belly fur pattern to emphasize his pecs
>>>/baw/435491 For those interested, I decided to take another look at 4chan's stats. This time with graphs! >>18399 Nice to see Tails and Charmy getting along One more ship for the collection! >>18400 I got Rouge, which honestly makes a lot of sense >>18403 Perci (and Staci)'s got a great design. Fun fact: She was actually going to be a playable character in Rise of Lyric >>18404 That toaster-head's going down >>18405 >Bro, I cheated twice and still got Amy three times. I give up. Looks like it's a day trip to Twinkle Park for me. lmao
>>17756 S.T.C Issue 24 Page 5 https://www.deviantart.com/okida/art/S-T-C-Issue-24-Page-5-1192427905 This comic's really picking up now that Manic's in it!
>>17561 >>18224 Cosmic Tales Arc 2 Pg 20 https://www.deviantart.com/riosd/art/Cosmic-Tales-Arc-2-Pg-20-1192842123 It's interesting seeing them fit the SU canon into the wider continuity
>>18479 I posted about it in the IDW thread but it's fast, but not as fast at /sthg/. The main benefit is it's mostly anons from /sthg/, but without the bot/schizo/shit-posters. I've posted there a few times and the captcha's much easier than 4chan's. Threads outside the generals are pretty slow, but I think that's how they prefer things
While /fast/ itself is fine, the main problem is that 8chan's way more lax on what's allowed to be posted. I visited one of the MLP boards and immediately ALT F4'd since it had multiple thread OPs with IRL horse genitalia. I shudder to think what some of the other boards have ;_;
>>18480 From what I remember they allow anything on there so anything can get a board which made it worse than 4chan when it comes to degenerate even illegal stuff posted there. Not sure if that's the same anymore.
>>18481 The old 8chan would allow pretty much anything but this one at least bans anything that violates US law. Frankly I would've called it something else since it doesn't have anything to do with the original 8chan (apart from taking some of their old threads I think). I'd also ban a lot of the "technically" not illegal but still super gross stuff, but that's just me
>>18482 are we talking about kun or moe? kun kept a lot of old boards around but neutered them with forced pruning and extremely frequent dmca hits, it made some boards unbrowsable as images got axed in a matter of hours.
Change of pace this week, I'm going to storytime some of Drogune at 7pm EST, whether (you) like it or not! The Shadow comic gets kinda confusing soon and I'd like some time to do a proper writeup of the plot that fills in the missing pages with my best guesses
>>18483 I was talking about moe, but maybe I got them confused as kun definitely kept old threads. There's some posts from 2015 on moe, but maybe it's been around that long?
>>18486 Also /fast/ is fine but most of the 8moe activity comes from gacha and vtubers with /v/ getting higher pph because of a few generals (more like /vg/ than /v/) Other boards need more attention if he wants it to be a serious 4chan replacement. Time will tell.
https://www.deviantart.com/buttsofsonicgirls/art/Fiona-Fox-Butt-05-1193020248 I forget if I mentioned this specific one but there's this account. Every once in a while there's some... interesting... accounts that crop Sonic comics. I've found various different accounts like this. All I have to say is that they should at least try to get bigger crops. If your only contribution is grabbing part of something made by other people then put some work into it.
>>18485 Yeah, most of the time it'll be fine but occasionally there'll be something gross. That's all imageboards though, since there's such a low barrier to posting. Probably the worst I've seen was the gore stuff that our special friend used to post over on 4/co/ to ship up our threads. We had someone similar in the Tamers threads as well >>18486 Yeah, pivoting to boomer conspiracy theorists was a dumb move. They're not exactly the imageboard demographic. I'm actually a huge fan of conspiracy theories and alternate histories. /x/ used to have some great threads on Tartaria/mudflood/world fair stuff. The pyramids in Antartica were also pretty cool, although my favorite is definitely the ancient technology stuff (e.g., ancient structures as energy accumulators that make use of the resonant frequencies of the Earth/atmosphere through their very geometries) >>18487 I'm hopeful that we'll eventually see a set of independent imageboards collectively have more users than 4chan >>18488 It's been dropping users for years, but the hack was the largest blow ever to hit 4chan. I graphed it here: >>>/baw/435491 >>18490 lmao, one day there'll be an account that crops all the Remington appearances, one day! >>18491 Absolutely love their Sonknux art, it's always playful and fun
Konductor! Have we covered Sonic Boom: Revisited? The artist behind Hazard Horizon's been working on it and there's about to be a third issue soon. Happy to collate the pages for the next storytime
>>18572 They've just done a guest cover so far, it's actually others that do the art and writing on this. Still, the comic's got great art and the writing feels very Boom-esque. All the files are in the mega https://mega.nz/folder/mSJglAbZ#Gv2E1456J6eZ9e_RgYfFbQ
Knuckles and the Chaotix Issue 3 Page 17 https://mobiuscomics.com/knuckles
One gets taken prisoner (as well as his stuff taken away) and the other gets a bonk on the head. There’s too many villains running around to keep them all in check right now! Maw may be the one directing things but Starline’s the one doing a lot of the dirty work. What’s Maw’s secret project? Maybe we’ll find out in the future…
>>18573 Ohhh! I see! I really haven't been keeping tabs on tumblr when it comes to Sonic comics. I can't believe that so much still comes out on that site.
This is the Scourge CD arc! A lot of stuff is inverted and flipped around. And is it any surprise that Belle is the Metal Sonic of Modius? Built by the peace-loving Kintobar, Belle is his little helper and daughter that has been upgraded to better protect and help. And Scourge has all kinds of bad thoughts running through his head!
>>18574 Live by the vlog, die by the vlog! Of course, if he'd just made the console a little higher, Kit wouldn't have been able to reach it, so it's really both their fault >>18575 I only found it myself because WNACN did a guest cover for it. I can't believe we're not even close to running out of Sonic fancomics. I can't think of any other franchise that comes close to the amount of fancomics Sonic's got >>18576 It's a fancomic, so by law it's gotta include fanservice! >>18578 Oh shit, you actually fixed Belle! Making her Kintobor's Mega Man was a great idea, and a good excuse to feature more Scourge since we technically never see him directly menace Kintobor >>18586 I thought you were talking about the 1995 Sonic: Wonders of the World film script, but this is way better because it's so deranged. If anyone wants to read either of them: https://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic:_The_Movie_(Trilogy_Entertainment_film) I wrote up a quick summary of it a while ago, but I think I'll do a full storytime of these (they are technically images!) with some commentary (and the text written out since it's kinda blurry on some pages)
>>18580 >>18581 >>18584 Nice! >>18585 I just haven't put them up there yet. I will soon. >>18582 Ivo "Julian" Robotnik aka Eggman formerly known as Ovi Kintobar. >>18587 >I can't think of any other franchise that comes close to the amount of fancomics Sonic's got I do wonder how things would be if I still continued the Unofficial Ride on 4chan like I did before.
>>18589 I'd say there's more Undertale/Deltarune stuff still coming out. Mario still gets comics. The illustrious LanceFreelanceArtist has done a few Mario comics.
Every once in a while I see a familiar name and while he was only Penders' temporary tard wrangler during the early Archie comics, I immediately recognized Mike Kanterovich upon seeing his name.
>>18589 He's had some, but he's usually just one character in a cast of characters from various videogames >>18590 >The illustrious LanceFreelanceArtist I think you mean ~LanceFreelanceArtist~ >>18592 I really should play those games at some point >>18593 I'm pretty sure he was the one that got Penders the job at Archie, so technically it's all his fault! He seems to have done a lot of Marvel work in the 90s but nothing since then from what I can tell. Oh and fun fact, he's credited with creating Anti-Sonic/Scourge: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/people/5820/mike-kanterovich >copyright 2016 With those ankle pouches and costume design there's no way that was published after 1996 >looks up comic >it's in a 2016 collected volume but originally published 1995 And people say fashion has no practical purpose! >>18594 The ones I don't get >Heavy & Bomb design changes I know about it, but I have no idea why they did it >Archie Sonic 06 They did reference Soleanna in the reboot >Scrapped murder of Saffron No idea >The one Chuck loved I think it was Rosie? >Tails age-skip I know they increased his intelligence, but they just kind of papered over the fact that he's older post-Adventure >The Iron Dominion Arc was a joke No idea >Cut death of Snively No idea. I mean, technically Hershey thought she killed him in Endgame, but that doesn't count >Rotor's older brother I only remember his younger brother >LNR + SNE No idea >"Yo, Bee!" Sounds like something Vector would say >>18595 You've got that chalkboard you posted a while back to start you off at least!
>Heavy & Bomb design changes They had an original design before using the official Chaotix design later, not really sure what was going on there
>Archie Sonic 06 Apparently it happened off panel, which makes sense since Unleashed is the first game they adapt
>Scrapped murder of Saffron https://web.archive.org/web/20160324100310/https://bumbleking.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2432&start=15 >In her initial appearances, Saffron was utterly useless. So much so that she was one of those slated to die in RtAI but that decision was repealed at the very last second and I'm glad it was. Now it's hard to picture her without Charmy by her side in the book. That's really a testament to what's been done (and what can be done in the future) with the character.
>Tails age-skip He's 41 in M25YL so actually 16 in the present. Also, Sonic's 47, making him 22 in the present
>The Iron Dominion Arc was a joke Sonic Sez Issue 30: " Behold, The King Of The Bumble!" >According to an interview with writer Ian Flynn, the Iron Dominion Takeover arc originated as a joke from a list of five potential pitches for arcs which issue #200 would lead into. The fifth pitch, which would eventually become the Iron Dominion Takeover, was created simply to make the list larger, and to allow for one of the other pitches to be accepted easier. Despite this, the fifth pitch would be the one approved by editor Mike Pellerito, and as such, Flynn would modify it into the Iron Dominion Takeover.
>Cut death of Snively https://web.archive.org/web/20101124071754/http://www.kenpenders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=122 >SONIC: LAST MAN STANDING (SONIC #165) - Antoine pops THE question to Bunnie. Unfortunately, she’s not able to respond before the gang has to go off on a mission to shut down Robotnik’s power plant before a meltdown in the core. While Sonic does all he can to ensure a safe ending for all, circumstances dictate a sacrifice on someone’s part, and Snively ends up proving he had more moxie than anyone ever gave him credit for. (16 pages if 1 issue or 2 11-page stories if spread over two issues)
>Rotor's older brother Turns out he was mentioned on the Archie website but never made it into the comic https://web.archive.org/web/20090215012753/http://www.archiecomics.com/sonic/allabout_sonic.html
>LNR + SNE From Sonic the Hedgehog #134: >On page ten, there appears to be a carving on a tree beside Knuckles that reads "LNR + SNE". Jon Gray has stated that this stood for "Live Nude Robotnik + Sexy Nekkid Eggman". This is in reference to Sonic the Hedgehog #108, "Robotnik x2 = Trouble".
About lost media there is a sketch from issue #0 first page using eggman western box art (the one who looks like Game Eggman with void eyes) just like the cover. Not archie but i remember Richard Elson art (or was another artist?) of Satam Robotnik for Fleetway Couldn't find it now.
>>18593 There's seem to be a bit of crossover with Spider-Man & Sonic on the creative end. What's next, Penders worked on an 80s issue of Web Of or Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man?
>>18594 >every copy of Sonic #14 is personalized Is referring to the unused cover or is just the SM64 meme? >charmy bee blood + censorship >Mammoth Mogul TV show these two i don't get Can't believe i recognized almost all of them. I need help.
>>18605 >Is referring to the unused cover or is just the SM64 meme? It's technically true that every copy is personalized since (you) are supposed to fill in the "Do-It-Yourself" Sonic story's dialogue and mail it in to win a prize. They revealed the winners in issue #23. They're also referring to the SM64 meme >Mammoth Mogul TV show After Penders successfully(?) sued Archie, Scott Fulop through his company Narrative Ark decided to sue over the rights to his characters as well, and quickly knocked together a website where he claimed to be making a cartoon, comic and trading cards, all starring Mammoth Mogul. I guess it strengthens your case if you can demonstrate you're using the characters?
>>18605 >charmy bee blood + censorship In the infamous KtE #15 comic where Charmy's cousin dies of a drug overdose, they perform surgery on Charmy but his blood's purple because they wouldn't be allowed to show red blood. In the reprints they removed the blood completely
>>18601 Yeah, Sally went through so many designs it's no surprise he wasn't sure what to draw there. Also, most of issue 0's pencils and script was done in like one day so it was a massive rush >Not archie but i remember Richard Elson art (or was another artist?) of Satam Robotnik for Fleetway There was some Bri'ish promotional art based on an earlier draft of SatAM where it was the original animal companions as Sonic's friends and Nicole was a computer monitor with wheels. Maybe that's it? >>18604 >Parker finds out he's the latest in a long line of Spider-based superheroes >his parent's aren't dead, but living in Spideropolis >Way more focus on Jameson I'd read it!
>>18612 >There was some Bri'ish promotional art based on an earlier draft of SatAM where it was the original animal companions as Sonic's friends and Nicole was a computer monitor with wheels. Maybe that's it? I think I found it! This is from Fleetway's Sonic the Poster Magazine
>>18613 this is the original pitch that DIC showed to Sega. Wonder if this after or before human Sally and troll Robotnik designs Lol at brits being out of date and thinking Porker or Johnny will be important characters. >>18615 she looks like a cat
>>18617 I think the closest is the DCAU with JLU & Static Shock plus The Batman. Remember the Bat-Embargo? Besides that there was Spider-Man '81, then SM & His Amazing Friends. And then Mario had the Super Show, then Adventures of SMB3 then SMW but they were in succession.
>>18616 Considering the Segas of America, Japan and Europe were all essentially independent companies that liked to put their own spin on things, and that they commissioned two separate cartoons (well, three with Underground, and four with the Man of the year short in Sonic Jam) and two separate comics (well, three if you include the French one, and four if you include the German electricity company one), it's surprising that any of it's recognizably Sonic. I can certainly see why they went with a single canon in Adventure >>18618 >this is the original pitch that DIC showed to Sega. Ah, that makes sense >Wonder if this after or before human Sally and troll Robotnik designs Has to be after, there's no way Sega would've approved Trollbotnik >Lol at brits being out of date and thinking Porker or Johnny will be important characters. I mean, they were in Fleetway! >>18619 >DCAU with JLU & Static Shock plus The Batman Those all shared a universe at least (more or less) >Remember the Bat-Embargo? Another case of "kids can't handle there being more than one version of a character at the same time" nonsense. It's not like the 90s Batman films really fit in with the cartoons at the time! >Mario had the Super Show Live action and cartoon Mario existing in the same show was so bizarre. At least they used the same voice >>18620 Yeah, the one we ended up with was great, but it is funny that they actually gave her less clothes in the final design. Redhead Sally obviously best Sally though
>>18621 JLU & Static were in the DCAU, The Batman was it's own thing. I also hate how brand synergy and brand "confusion" is used by those jackasses. It's why we lost Earth's Mightest Heroes.
https://x.com/MeanBeanStudios/status/1921880588132155526 >Trying to get some basic redesigns down for a potential Sonic Future Rewrite. Gonna be some old and new faces 👀 I don't remember Sally being in the original.
>>18610 >>18611 >Charmy's cousin dies of a drug overdose That has to be the craziest part of Archie. Even Titan Tails is at least trying to be an epic adventure, and THE SLAP is just relationship drama done badly, but having Charmy Bee's cousin die of an LSD overdose? That's unbelievably out there, even for Archie.
>>18628 >Angel Island/Echidaopolis has a drug epidemic. >The Chaotix get high >The Brotherhood doesn't do anything. I mean it was nice to see Julie & Remington in action but yeah that story was way out there.
>>18622 Nice! >>18623 Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that one. As a kid what confused me more than anything was just how inconsistent things were about who could show up in what. Some cartoons would have Superman sometimes show up, and others would act like Batman was the only crime fighter on the planet >It's why we lost Earth's Mightest Heroes. I'm still mad! Easily my favorite Marvel cartoon (that isn't x-men, but that one will always win out for me due to the theme song) >>18624 Huh. I've only watched the original (for the plot of course!), but I'll have to check these out >>18626 Just think, they could easily x100 their revenue in Japan simply by finding 100 new fans willing to buy the games! >>18627 Oh boy, here we go again! >I don't remember Sally being in the original. She was in the original original though. She even has a creepy robot baby with Sonic! Hisss! https://the-ride.neocities.org/comics/2022-08-28-dear-future-husband/ >>18628 The whole issue's so bizarre, since the b-plot with best boy Remington and Julie-Su is actually pretty good, but the premise being the most fucked up anti-drug PSA isn't something it could ever really recover from. People meme up the LSD overdose, but Penders dedicating an entire page to a bored surgeon graphically slicing up Charmy Bee while making small-talk was the really messed up part for me. You could just drop that page entirely and the plot would be the same. There was no need to include it!
Another thing that's always bugged me is that it doesn't even work as an anti-drug PSA. Even ignoring the fact that LSD isn't addictive and almost impossible to OD on, Charmy's cousin never intended to take drugs so if anything it reads more like a roofie PSA. Hilariously, there were several Sonic Says segments that covered this far better for Penders to copy!
>>18630 >I mean it was nice to see Julie & Remington in action but yeah that story was way out there. My thoughts exactly! I really need to hit refresh before I post ;_;
>>18632 >Huh. I've only watched the original (for the plot of course!), but I'll have to check these out The 2D one is by Kevin Smith. I know the first season made a lot of people mad but apparently the second season is better. The 3D one I've heard is actually much better. There's also the 2000s show which is really good. >She was in the original original though. She even has a creepy robot baby with Sonic! Hisss! I remember that. I do wonder who Sally will be shipped with if anyone. Sonic and Shadow will 100% be sharing Zee again and Amy was with Rouge.
>>18632 >Penders dedicating an entire page to a bored surgeon graphically slicing up Charmy Bee while making small-talk was the really messed up part for me. You could just drop that page entirely and the plot would be the same. There was no need to include it! It's like when he used that "First they came..." poem for hedgehogs and echidnas, or pretty much any of his attempts at maturity really. You wonder if Penders has ever had a conversation with an actual human.
>Even ignoring the fact that LSD isn't addictive and almost impossible to OD on Oh damn, I hadn't even known that. That makes it even funnier.
>Charmy's cousin never intended to take drugs so if anything it reads more like a roofie PSA. You're right, that evil rabbit dude put LSD into carnival food. Penders wanted to do an anti-drug addiction PSA but he couldn't even get the "addiction" part right. Knowing Penders he'd have had characters point out the addict's behaviors were bad but throw a shitfit if the addict ever got any comeuppance, like he did with Locke.
>>18648 >>18649 Did the Shadow manga for a magazine available only in Japan do well enough to continue this? They must've agreed to a set amount and this is the next story that's part of it.
I was reading the /fast/ general and it turns out my (non-Echidna) husbando Maekawa is back writing games after 15 years! I've never played any of the Rune Factory games, but I'll definitely be giving Guardians of Azuma a shot Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma - Story Trailer >>18634 I saw a few of the 2000s one and they were great. Now I want to marathon all of them >I remember that. I do wonder who Sally will be shipped with if anyone. Sonic and Shadow will 100% be sharing Zee again and Amy was with Rouge. My bet is it'll be Sally x Amy x Rouge, a triple hiss if you will! >>18637 >Dobbyn knows who Bump is lmao >>18638 I think he was too busy trying to be Jack Kirby and forgot to think whether he should be Ken Penders >You wonder if Penders has ever had a conversation with an actual human. I feel bad, but that one still cracks me up >Oh damn, I hadn't even known that. That makes it even funnier. Of all the illicit substances, it's the silliest one to pick. It's genuinely easier to overdose on asprin >spoiler Oh man, now I want to see the council of secret grandpas hold an intervention for Locke >>18646 Those boots look familiar >>18648 Oh boy, another manga we'll all get yelled at for reading! Remember everyone, the only legitimate way to read the Shadow manga is to learn Japanese, fly over there, and purchase it legitimately! >>18653 >that dialogue Oh my, they're practically married now! 😍 >>18654 Fact check: True! >>18655 Fact check: Also true!
>>18658 And that's it for the first chapter! Looks like they're taking a break to work on the second chapter and are going to go with a manga style in future
>>18347 The Heart of a Monster 10-19 https://thoam.the-comic.org/comics/405 It's probably fine, being (half of) the spirit of the Earth makes him immune to Earth magma right?
>>18656 It's a mobian version of Nicole from ZZZ. I've been getting into it recently (not directly playing it though, gacha ain't for me) for two main reasons: 1. Pan Yinhu (and some other anthro characters who may become playable including a wolf twunk that you may like TP) 2. Lycaon's got himself a metrosexual, vampire but not really, Phantom Thief, Twink ex-boyfriend (pic related)
Also in non-sonic but gacha related news, Fuga: Melodies of Steel is collabing with Crave Saga, an adult gaycha (that may be up your alley, TP) Heres's the tweet: https://x.com/CraveSaga/status/1922994607568060772 Before anyone here freaks out, there is a SFW verison of Crave Saga, they're most likely going to the collab through.
>>18484 Stay tuned for more Drogune, more problems at 7pm EST today, whether (you) like it or not! I've come up with a new method for extracting and cleaning up manga-style images from pdfs so it's looking really nice >>18664 I thought the outfit looked familiar! I've not played it, but I do like all the lewd art of Von Lycaon! Pan Yinhu looks great too >>18665 >Fuga: Melodies of Steel is collabing with Crave Saga That's really cool, even if it ends up sfw. I really do need to get around to playing the Fuga games >Crave Saga >cute bara guy gets isekai'd into a world exclusively populated with hot guys, some of which are anthros >literally everyone's tummy is on full display lmao, this is 100% the sort of game I'd make myself >that pic Oh my! >>18724 It's called foreplay! >>18725 The algorithm™ truly is a capricious beast. On the bright side it could always be Sonamy! I'm still getting those AI-generated naked ladies on deviantart ;_;

>>18368 Nectar: The World Before 115 previous was 114 https://www.deviantart.com/icys I mean, it's been pretty obvious the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald are at least a little sentient, so the Time Stones being sentient as well shouldn't be that odd
>>18726 There's a whole market for bara-based gachas's, TP! Housamo, Live a Hero, and Crave Saga aren't the only ones! there's Tamacolle, Anothereidios, and XXL Woofia for the gays, bi's and bara obsessed fujo's and yume's! Also, have you found your Housamo/Live a Hero husbandos yet? Double also, your reaction to the Fuga/Crave Saga collab has been A LOT better than what I've seen from the LTB community, Especially the western side
>>18734 Wow, looks like I've got a lot of research to do! >Also, have you found your Housamo/Live a Hero husbandos yet? Tadatomo's great, but I think everyone picks him. Bigfoot's hot, and I like that Bertro looks like he could be a Gunvolt villain. Otter's pretty cute too >spoiler I think that just because a developer makes erotic bara games doesn't mean any collab they do will focus on that. My guess is at most there'll be more focus on romance and some beefy guys will be added to Fuga's roster >>18735 Considering Splats wasn't cut until late in development, they didn't even have a finished game when SoA commissioned this comic >>18736 I think the idea was to launch the comic, game and cartoons at the same time so they could cross-promote. As long as the comic's cover had a blue hedgehog named Sonic on it, the rest is just details. I complain a lot about Sega, but SoA definitely knew what they had with Sonic, and went all out promoting it. To this day, Sonic's more recognizable than Micky Mouse >>18737 It's probably miscommunication. We saw the same thing with SoA's toasty Tails, which only happened because they misinterpreted Tails' color from the Japanese design >>18738 >>18739 >reprint changes sally's hair to blonde Archie really never could settle on a single look for Sally >>18740 If we're going with the classic cartoon, Rogue and Gambit are easily my favorite characters (after Wolverine of course)
>>18783 Ah, I should've looked at the filename. The original comic had blonde sally, the Sonic Super Special reprint (which I mistook for the original) got changed to brown, and the recolor for the TPB was switched back to blonde. Sally truly is a menace!
>>18785 >2004 I do love the early 00s style of Sonic art. I have no idea if she's holding the end of a gamecube controller or one of those brain jack cables from Ghost in the Shell
Her Heroes outfit is seriously underrated, much more futuristic spy than the original, even if the original is more iconic. I'd have kept the love hearts on the shoe tips though. Switching to wedges from heels was a mistake, I'd have gone for a box heel like the original
Oh and fun fact: Sonic Channel is the only official media that still draws Rouge with cleavage. It's not as horny as their early art (particularly December 2013), but it's still there at least
>>18786 Forgot to mention that Rouge's Heroes outfit is also nice because it's a much closer match to the design language of Shadow and Omega. The gloves and shoes are similar to Shadow's, and the square kneepads and belt with tech pouches match Omega's waist. The purple main color with pink and white highlights also works better with Shadow and Omega's black main color with red and white (and gold) highlights
Knuckles and the Chaotix Issue 3 Page 18 https://mobiuscomics.com/knuckles
Fights Sonic and seems to become a friendly rival of some kind to him. Gets betrayed by Julie-Su yet still feels attraction for her. Bros, I think there’s something wrong with Knuckles. But honestly, Knuckles would prefer a defiant Julie-Su than an always apologetic one. And he’s been wanting that kiss for a while. Just no more shooty, please.
>>18788 Awww, they're so cute together! >I don't have any pockets Well, there's always nature's pocket. No, not that one! Male and female Echidna both have pouches on their abdomen, although only the female pouch is large enough to hold their young Oh and as for storing things, Sonic characters canonically have access to hammerspace, which is where Amy stores her hammer and Tails stores his iPad. Interestingly, if you freezeframe the Unleashed opening animation, Sonic actually manifests all 7 chaos emeralds out of his third eye
>>18791 Yeah, that period is absolutely perfect! A Bright and Shiny Future is absolute peak Sonic fancomic art for me, pic related >>18792 He really needs to knock it off with the vlogs >>18793 Such an odd combination, but really cool. We talked about energy swords in the other thread but the one from Halo is seriously underrated. They did a great job making it distinct from lightsabers, and the grip making it a punching sword instead of a stabbing sword is pretty funny
In the Archie comics, King Maximilian couldn’t catch a break. He was betrayed so much that his biggest betrayer, Robotnik, betrayed Naugus and Kodos after they betrayed their king. As for Kodos, he was the military commander for the Acorn Kingdom. A bloodthirsty warmonger, he committed various atrocities. This time around, he’s given more of an edge and chance to do something worse. But this is all in the past. What ultimately came of him?
Sonic and the Freedom Fighters Issue 8 Page 5 https://mobiuscomics.com
Sally saying her opponent talks talking too much is a callback to her fight with Brutus. In fact, Metal Sonic was pretty talkative during his race with Sonic. What is it with Eggman and his creations not shutting up? And is this the end of AI Sally? Well, there’s a hint in her name.
>>18807 Considering how Sonic and Shadow are more or less forbidden from killing in IDW, and that Batman outright refuses to kill, this is one crossover where the Joker's life is actually in danger as game Shadow (and Sonic) absolutely would kill him
Also, ABT did a fantastic job on Shadow's outfit, 10/10
>>18808 Having the Teen Titans be Chaotix-related was a great choice, and Knuckles would make an excellent Green Lantern >>18810 Oh man, the artist must have had a hard time working out what was going on with Kodos' half-punk, half-Santa hair. Oh and while I can't prove it, Kodos (like the alien from the Simpsons) was 100% named after the Star Trek villain https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Kodos >>18811 Beats Grifone! >>18818 lmao, Sonic's Mom('s new boyfriend)'s got it going on! >>18821 Oh man, there is so much worse out there when it comes to Sonic (nsfw, obviously): https://e621.net/posts?tags=sonic_the_hedgehog_(series)+order%253Ascore_asc It's seriously weird how common stepparent incest is in porn >>18825 Absolutely loving this more active Sally >What is it with Eggman and his creations not shutting up? I suspect he's lonely and while he'll never admit it, he deliberately programs his henchmen to sass him

This just in, IDW introduces another not-twink, not-bara, and not-babe character >>18839 Grimlock really changed ever since he started listening to those doomsday prepper shows >>18840 lmao
>>18842 man, been way to long since been on here, haven't even got any new comms of a Sonic nature to show....yet. Also just gotta say not a fan of this design honestly, i'm still waiting on new reptiles for fucks sake and especially since Zootopia 2 opened the floodgates for reptile representation in it's setting.
The full version of the official and canon Sonadow animation just dropped Well, it's proxy Sonadow Sonic Presents: Chao Tales (All Episodes) >>18843 Yeah, we already have Sonic dressed as a jester (and not to mention NiGHTS). Also, we already had Fastidious Beaver in Boom, ain't no way they're topping that with this new beaver. A reptile or aquatic creature would be so much better considering 95% of the cast are woodland mammals >Zootopia 2 Man, I need to get around to watching that. I really liked the first one
>>18844 I would kill for an aquatic creature to, also Zootopia 2 at least looks more interesting then Lilo and Stitch live action which will inevitably fuck up the story, characterization and plot utterly in some form. Actually rewatched the original this week and that film is still a 10/10 classic, weird Jumba design edits aside though it's just a funny odd detail that even as a kid confused me.
>>18826 Sonic's got bigger problems with Sally when they reunite. >>18832 >Absolutely loving this more active Sally Yeah people have been really liking Sally on that page.
Gonna pass on doing a storytime tonight. Was going to post some J-Axer comics from checks notes 27 years ago, but not really feeling it. Good news though, an anon's done a surprise storytime for us! >>18921 >>18845 Exactly! There's an entire ocean we've yet to explore, and more reptiles is a great excuse to go to places that aren't just generic European-esque village 47 and abandoned Eggman base 52. I've been avoiding all the live action remakes because I've never not been disappointed seeing them >Jumba design edits Yeah, that was weird >>18846 I'm struggling to think of any reoccurring male OCs in IDW that aren't women. The gay birds don't count (because they're boring), and Whisper's hot former teammates are all dead (and will be staying that way thanks to Flynn's dead means dead policy). You win Iizuka, I'd be happy with some male OC Zetis >>18847 Penders' colorist does a pretty good job and is obviously a huge Sonic fan. I suspect the guy's actually pretty young and is not charging a lot for his work >>18848 I think you mean Artemis the Rhino from the hit graphic novel The™ Lara™-Su™ Chronicles!™ >>18849 >Yeah people have been really liking Sally on that page. It's nice to have the version of Sally that's could've been in Archie >>18956 Now there's a blast from the past! I remember almost nothing of the plot, but Knuckles was definitely handsome. Pic related! In case anyone wants to catch up: https://the-ride.neocities.org/comics/2022-05-14-sonic-the-hedgehog-z/ And I just realized I fucked up many of the thread links on the website ;_;
>>18959 Man, I can't even list all the crazy potential hero or villain ideas that spring from the ocean as a setting. Could have like a Hammerhead shark blacksmith or engineer, a beluga chap who's a genius yet also a cheeky goofball. Could have a Goliath Tigerfish as like an undersea South African criminal type pastiche or bobbitworm who's like a freaky weirdo akin to a violent yet vacuous madman and lastly could have a blue ringed octopus who's something of a shrinking violet cause of the poisonous nature of the species. Also I do think a unique Zeti villain who is different from the deadly six either visually or power wise would actually be pretty cool.
Knuckles and the Chaotix Issue 3 Page 19 https://mobiuscomics.com/knuckles
Turns out that there are some people in the Dark Legion that genuinely care about Julie-Su. Time to learn more about this wishy washy girl while the entire Dark Legion camp is under attack!
>>18961 Adopted parents, the most moral, loving and actually good as family in a Sonic setting. There's rare exceptions but adopted families in Sonic seem to have a consistent not shit rate.
>>18960 Funny how the various series/comics do have some aquatic mobians. Archie had the 40 Fathom FF & Meropolis, AoSTH had that mermaid girl and did Fleetway had anyone based off of fish besides the Drakon?
>>18960 That's what makes Sonic such a fun series, you can just take relatively obscure animals and make them into something really cool >Also I do think a unique Zeti villain who is different from the deadly six either visually or power wise would actually be pretty cool. Yeah, that'd be fun. Controlling mechs did feel like a lazy plot device in Lost World. One that has their own agenda that isn't that weird might makes right/survival of the fittest thing they ended up with in IDW would be interesting >>18961 I'll bet no one guessed we'd be meeting Julie-Su's parents first and not Knuckles! >>18962 Yeah, it's a nice touch >>18963 There's best boy Razor, who's a shark in Archie, but I don't recall any in Fleetway >>18967 To play Iblis' advocate, those models look pretty rough. Knuckles' arms clip right through his dreads and Shadow has this weird claymation look to him (and his gloves and rings are not on model either). Even the emerald looks off, which is kinda impressive when you consider it's only like 30 polygons >>18968 They keep the cleavage visible in the Sonic Channel art, and they did do a good job on her personality in Prime (for the 5 seconds she was on screen) at least
>>18727 Team Dark Supernova Odyssey 4-10 https://teamdarksupernovaodyssey.tumblr.com Looks like Shadow's about to be an uncle! I always assumed the Biolizard was male, but I don't think we ever got clarification on that
>>18732 Nectar: The World Before 117 Maybe just read the filenames for the page numbers, I clearly can't ;_; https://www.deviantart.com/icys On second thought, having Tails do Silvers' thinking is probably a good thing
https://x.com/sonic_legacy/status/1926751533451948228 >Sonic Legacy Issue 14 cover teaser and synopsis! >Title: Tailgating >Synopsis: >Following the failed relaunch of the Death Egg, Sonic is falling back to Angel Island, speeding towards a mushroom covered forest, giving him a much-needed moment to collect his thoughts; he can’t tell if it's fear or excitement that’s keeping him going. Sonic’s feeling the burn of this constant pursuit; no matter how much he chases him, something else gets in his way, leaving him just out of reach. Just when it seems like it's getting to be too much, he reminds himself of the promises he made. He has a job to do, and he intends to see it through. The only problem is… what’s he gonna do when Eggman can’t run anymore?
Finally got round to rewatching Owls of Ga'Hoole and my opinions still stand. Soren X Gylfie otp, Klud was down bad for Nyssa and his villain arc was done well if could've used some more time showing him and his brother before his joining the racial supremacy movement and there's some other faults the film has but overall I still have a soft spot for it...though Rio is still my fave animated bird film.
>>18975 should be a hard rule for Sonic characters going forward that they can't be mammals, marsupials or rodents since have enough of their kind in the setting, if I was head of Sega/Sonic Team that'd be my tyrannical mandate besides curvy babes.
Also yeah honestly i'd be cool with more Zeti material since the Black Arms are the only other notable alien antagonists and they have actual variety. A new Zeti villain who isn't in a gang like the Deadly Six could instead of being a Social Darwinist like them instead be someone who's deal is instead empowering others with his powers but tends to make them indulge in their worst habits and lose inhabitations. Like obviously still a dangerous villain but one who genuinely wants to help others with his methods with no self benefit.
>>18985 I like the Ga'Hoole movie too (good cast and gorgeous visuals, decent story), but some of the fantasy dialogue is a bit odd. >Owls steer with their gizzard, so they say "Trust in your gizzard!" instead of "Trust in your heart!" >use "moon-blinking" as the fantasy term for hypnotizing
I don't envy the actors who have to deliver crazy fantasy dialogue like that. Alec Guinness complained about the "fairy tale mumbo-jumbo" from the Star Wars OT, I can only imagine how he'd react if you asked him to talk about "midichlorians" or "moon-blinking."
One thing I liked about the Sonic movies was that the characters could sell dialogue about "warp rings" and "Chaos energy" without sounding silly.
>>18988 It's funny to me that this film is when Snyder peaked, that aside yeah the visuals and acting for the film is utterly top notch and managed to make the characters really likeable despite some not getting to do much or the animation doing a lot to sell them though I do think Soren is a really solid main character all around. Actually did remind me how Longclaw is a very Ga'Hoole esque character and that direction really is what helped me define her in my AU stuff/redesign for her. Might be fun to commission her in full bird armour with the talon knifes which also props to the film for figuring how to do action scenes with birds and how to make them able to use weapons. Also I've not read the books so can't say much on how Ga'Hoole changes or adapts things but I know the books are such more violent and have even more crazy fantasy dialogue like a bird telling someone to "sprink on their spronk" if I recall correctly
>>18989 >It's funny to me that this film is when Snyder peaked Yeah, none of his superhero films were all that interesting IMO. I liked Zod from Man of Steel, but the film itself is deeply flawed.
>characters really likeable despite some not getting to do much or the animation doing a lot to sell them though I do think Soren is a really solid main character all around. Agreed, Soren is a good character. I like that he's not the Chosen One or anything; he's just an ordinary guy trapped in a crazy situation who manages to rise to the occasion.
>Actually did remind me how Longclaw is a very Ga'Hoole esque character and that direction really is what helped me define her in my AU stuff/redesign for her. Might be fun to commission her in full bird armour Ooh, I'd like that. Longclaw was a fun character and I'd be interested to see your fanart.
>props to the film for figuring how to do action scenes with birds and how to make them able to use weapons. That's a good point; they do make the weapons and armor on the owls look credible. They must've studied how owls move.
>I know the books are such more violent and have even more crazy fantasy dialogue like a bird telling someone to "sprink on their spronk" if I recall correctly I think you're right, the films might've toned things down if anything.
>>18984 I really like this issue. It's mostly just Flying Battery from S&K in comic form, but it's doing Sonic things in comic form, and that's pretty great.
>>19001 Its like the meme says, its always about the potential of what could have been. Just like how people like to hype up Blaze expecting her and her world to ever get developed beyond the info we were given from a 20 year old DS game.
>>18986 Yeah, there's so many interesting species they could choose from >spoiler lmao, I actually agree. All the lady OCs they've been making lately in IDW have been frumpy and boring. Tangle, Surge (in her Riders outfit) and Lanolin are the only ones that actually look cool >zeti That'd be a lot of fun! I really like the idea of having villains filling in different niches so the writers can tell stories that wouldn't work with Eggman. The Social Darwinist thing was just weird, when Oni are never depicted like that >>18987 100% canon >>18991 Another pair of cursed Eggman/Robotnik eyes for the collection! >>18996 lmao. That's gotta be old Usenet posts that were archived by google >>18999 Now do it for Nazo! At least Dark Sonic actually showed up! >>19001 It's the only time we've seen a corrupted Sonic in the Japanese side of the franchise, which is kinda interesting. I personally don't like it as game Sonic is completely unflappable and would never succumb to anger like that. Even Darkspine Sonic isn't corrupted in Secret Rings >>19002 Sort of. Ben Hurst originally wanted to do another season, and then when he heard about the new show tried to get them to let him retool it as a SatAM sequel, but it never really worked out. You can see the remnants with the King Acorn statue in the opening credits. DiC really wanted a cartoon with a musical trio that they'd own the song rights to. Tamers has pointed this out a few times but they eventually realized their vision with the Doodlebops, which is why they're antagonists in the Tamersverse >>19003 The ninja HBH was such a hassle in Mania. Knuckles just doesn't jump high enough >>19006 ;_; >>19009 Nice! >>19012 So lazy! >>19016 Personally I consider it self-cest. Zavok is just a slightly less attractive Bowser and I'm tired of pretending he's not!
>>19018 Oh I meant my mandate was that there has to be curvy girls but poor wording on my part and also yeah IDW does need more new male characters honestly. Also yeah I genuinely wouldn't mind the Zeti as a species being used more or fleshed out.
>>19025 Fare enough, I'd settle with girls that aren't bland crybabies personally! A lot of Archie's charm was that we were spoiled for choice with how many attractive characters there were. IDW still feels like its cast of characters is absolutely tiny, to the point where Sonic Boom had a wider cast >>19026 Exactly! >>19031 And it's not even song lyrics!
>>19035 Teaching of Fear 7-25 And that's it for issue 7!
From the author: >HE MEANS IT! >Anyways, that's the end of Issue 7. I'm honestly shocked I was able to do it and not get any burnout like last time. So I'm gonna stick to my methods, and finish the next issue fully, until I release it's pages. I think it's just easier for me to handle it that way. Less social pressure.
>>19032 >>19025 I wouldn't mind Zeti who are not with the Deadly Six's bullshit or that one anon who said the Iron Queen's technomagic was from a Zeti who showed her people as gratitude for helping him.
>>18478 >>19037 SOoC Chapter 006 - Page 132 https://www.deviantart.com/justtheauthor Looks like they've just found out Sonic's mother's more than a little older than she seems
Remember Pandora AU, the comic where Sonic had two moms and was super traumatized due to releasing Chaos (who destroyed his entire kingdom)? You might recall that the artist decided to redo the early pages, which is never a good sign. Looks like the project's officially canceled ;_;
>I realized I never posted an official update here, and the asks have been getting more frequent about where I’ve been. I was really sad to run out of steam on this comic. Unfortunately, I don’t foresee myself coming back to work on it again. Life got really crazy, creative burnout hit, and now that I’m finally in a better place mentally, I wanna spend my time on other projects.
>I’ll repost what pages I have of part 2 soon, I’ve just been worried about getting people’s hopes up. Thanks again for all the love and support, this was a really fun time in my life <3 I’ll hopefully be back to posting art on my main once I’m rested 🛌
>>19040 >Zavok & Zeena attack The Iorn Queen's Region >Regina & Snivley face them, and Regina opens up more about her people's past and how her powers were from Zeti teachings >We also see some of Anti-Zeti tech that's been developed by the Egg Army R&D.
>>19059 Yeah, the first version of this comic was scar-free and had a really nice and unique artstyle too. With the reboot, the art was much more closely aligned with the Evan/Gigi-D style. The comic still looks good, but I don't think artists aping other styles ever looks as vibrant and dynamic as when they do their own thing. My speculation is that realignment to the new style also led to the chest scars. What's really weird is that Sonic's moms refer to him as male even as an infant, which just makes no sense. Infants don't even have object permanence or language, let alone a gender identity
>>19137 In archie: battle birds, that bat king from Journey to the East who called him useless or weak or whatever and noone contradicted this, Sally when he was brown, Antoine in the Universe arc, Fiona, Sonic secretly, Eggman under Ian (there was a Penders story where Eggman complimented Tails’ abilities in his private logs), mogul under Ian (says Sonic beat him when it was Tails lol), Scourge, Tails himself In IDW: Kit (brainwashed to do so, I wish he had an actual reason), Surge in an offhand way, probably the DC heroes who ignore him, even Cyborg calls his tech inferior, the Witchcarters who all think Sonic is a bigger threat even at the end In Games: Eggman (aside from Chronicles, he calls Tails a waste in Frontiers and gets embarassed having to fight just him in Adventure games, also never made a proper Metal Tails) I think the Game Battle Birds respect him. Speedy gave him a chaos emerald for winning their fight, and the final 2 bosses are very dramatic so they take him seriously
>>19142 also Sage in the games, big time Like she calls him something like “that pathetic creature” in the jap so she could compliment how Sonic is so inspiring even the abominable useless fox feels uplifted by his infinite wisdom and power. When they talk it’s just about complimenting Sonic and how Sonic defies all calculations or expectations. Sage really has zero regard or acknowledgement for Tails
>>19142 There’s definitely some i’m missing, especially in archie kek damn they were so cruel to him In Riders i remember Knuckles said Tails isn’t good at anything except tinkering. Just a joke but it’s funny to think they don’t interact cause Knuckles thinks he’s lame/a nerd
Looks like Mobians are back on the menu boys! It's a new card battle game called Sonic Blitz, and it features 3d battle animations. Also, the dataminer from this tweet is working on several fangames and would have a lot to lose by making this up

>>19170 i have a genuine doubt that they would add archie stuff in the game, i wanna throw the theory that maybe these names are there specifically to fuck with the dataminers. either that or rovio is about to get some calls from sega.
>>19171 The fact that we got Speedy and someone as obscure as Norman the Polar Bear is good news at least, and if nothing else getting an official Modern Mighty is something I've been waiting for for years. Also, I can't believe no one noticed I posted the one where they crudely added dongs to Speedy and Mighty Interestingly, there is a team attack move that requires Sally, Bunny and Antoine in the code

I'm not. The ones that didn't end up trans either quit the scene in the 00s, got banned, or ended up as pedophiles. I'm in the oldbie forum at sega retro, and last time I checked, they were banning other oldbies for using wrong pronouns.

Knuckles and the Chaotix Issue 3 Page 21 https://mobiuscomics.com/knuckles
Julie-Su’s family history is largely unchanged here. The twins are really a pair of menaces doing anything to get power and that even includes murdering family! Knuckles is still trying to be mad but all bets are off if Julie-Su’s doll appears to testify in her defense.
>>19317 Hey it's Luger, one of my favorite obscure Echidnas, and the reason Remy has such big eyebrows! He has such a cool design and interesting backstory, and yet only ever showed up in a few flashbacks. I was really hoping he and Knuckles would've teamed up when Knuckles turned green and tried going back in time to reunite the Echidnaopolis with the Dark Legion
Love the tidied up history here. For those that don't know, a lot of Julie-Su's history was obscured with more than one memory wipe (that were never satisfactorily resolved IMO), and drip-fed across several disjoint issues and specials. You pretty much have to have encyclopedic knowledge of Archie (or read the wiki) to have all this laid out as straightforwardly. It's also nice to see Julie-Su's adopted parents not looking all melty
I think you mentioned it a while back, but I'm assuming you're not going to have Julie-Su and Knuckles be distant cousins? It's probably for the best, and means you won't have to deal with the time dilation of the Twilight Zone, which ran at 1/4th the speed of regular time. Interestingly, Penders is planning on making Edmund and Dimitri friends/colleagues and not brothers in his Knuckles reprint
>>19318 Wish we'd see him use them more. The only time I can think of it being plot relevant was in Lost World, where he used it to hack the not-roboticizer
>>19320 >parents not looking all melty Yeah Simon needed a face lift. >I think you mentioned it a while back, but I'm assuming you're not going to have Julie-Su and Knuckles be distant cousins? It's probably for the best, and means you won't have to deal with the time dilation of the Twilight Zone, which ran at 1/4th the speed of regular time. Yeah I'm splitting the families. And Kragok doesn't have a kid. >>19321 >the twins are pretty fucked up They are the worst. But Lien-Da still bad.
>>19322 >Yeah Simon needed a face lift. Spaz couldn't make him look non-horrifying. Even rapidly aged post-Enerjak Dimitri and melty M25YL Cobar looked healthier >Yeah I'm splitting the families. Fair enough >And Kragok doesn't have a kid. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Seriously though, without the time dilation there's no way it'd work considering Remington's 27 to Kragok's 32. It'd be nice to finally have some Echidnas that aren't a part of Mobius' most dysfunctional family. Even best dad Wyn married into that! >spoiler And being bad's never looked so good!
>>19322 >>19323 We all know Lien-Da is at least responsible for at least 15% of the Dark Legion members. Well, before they find out she's nuts/terrible.
>>19192 >The whole elitist high priesthood of the Sonic community thing always rubbed me the wrong way, which is why I never ended up joining despite being around in the 00s fan scene.

You might have a laugh at this then: TCRF (a prototype research splinter site made by people who are also in the sonic scene) is currently getting raided/doxxed by sharty. Apparently the entire thing started out because the founder put pride flags into the banner, people voiced their objection to the site now making political statements, and the founder then put extremely derogatory comments into peoples profiles. and yes, apparently that guy is also a tranny.
>>19324 >Well, before they find out she's nuts/terrible. Oh, they know. It's just a risk they're willing to take! >>19325 Yeah I saw that. The sharty are obviously just doing it for fun, but any website that doesn't listen to its users and treats them with contempt is frankly inviting raids. It's the same with 4chan. The sharty wouldn't even exist to raid them if they'd just moderated /qa/ instead of shutting it down. As for the pride flag stuff, I find it all hilariously gauche. There's nothing quite like major corporations acknowledging that your sexuality qualifies you as an economically viable market segment. I feel so seen! Of course, none of this would be an issue if they'd just used the superior pride flag, pic related
>>17929 So I was curious what the reaction to Sonamy in this comic was and someone asked and the artist said they were just commissioned to do it and they actually ship Sonally. Anyway here's the newest page.
>>19327 The more I read this comic the more it fascinates me. It so closely fits the same fancomic niche as your two comics, but orientated around Sonamy and the reboot instead of Sonally and the preboot. Still, at least we get a peak at what your comics could be like if you ever went over to the dark side! Oh, and it's Princess Alucion, the original OC echidna from the French comic that somehow predicted the events of Sonic Adventure 5 years before it was released! She never really got used much in fancomics since anything you can do with her you can do with the more well known Tikal. In a way, she's like the Omelette to Tikal's Sage >they actually ship Sonally lmao, excellent >>19328 If I had a proper Sonic OC, it'd pretty much be a male Rouge
>tails can somehow grow a beard on top of his muzzle fur >riker from star trek backwards chair >tragic comb-over penders kept giving tails makes its horrifying return >that uncanny feeling that each picture is of a human wearing a fursuit mask >penders is drawing on 35+ year old comic paper from his time at dc comics Hey remember when Penders drew an older Tails? Well there's more!
Oh, and he wrote up a long post about his relationship with his father. I've not read it yet, but I'll report back when I do. My guess as to its contents: Locke did nothing wrong https://kenpenders.com/locke-me/
>>19331 >>19332 >https://kenpenders.com/locke-me/ The TL;DR version is that Ken's dad wouldn't let him live in the house past 18 and would belt him because it was the 60s/70s, and Ken forgave him. This is totally equivalent to performing crazy chaos experiments on your son and faking your suicide so you can abandon him in the wilderness when he's like 10 years old.
And since Ken forgave his dad, that means neither Ken's dad nor Locke did anything wrong, and neither has anything to apologize for.
>>19337 Same. I could see WHY he wrote this sort of thing (as thirstposter said, creators incorporate a bit of themselves in what they create) but as you said, he didn’t quite have the talent to write this stuff and write it well ESPECIALLY in hindsight.
>>19332 lmao. What's really fascinating here is that Penders himself didn't realize just how much of his daddy issues he put into the comic. He genuinely thought it was mostly just the Locke death comic where he raised the issue! >>19334 >Frakes Oh man, he's 100% my Star Trek husbando! I absolutely loved him as David Xanatos in Gargoyles >>19335 A guy dressed like this, complete with uncanny fursuit head would make for a fantastic horror villain. The furry-themed horror is a sadly untapped genre >>19336 I've read through it and yeah, his father expected him to move out at 18 and employed physical discipline, which was sadly standard fare for parenting back then. Penders did say that his father was happy for him to move back home after his military enlistment, and actually did take a keen interest in Penders' life, albeit without ever expressing it. In that sense, I can see how Penders always had Locke watching over Knuckles from the shadows, but the whole faking your own suicide and abandoning your son to the wilderness is a bridge too far
An aside, but parents not being able to adequately communicate with their children is a huge part of Archie Sonic. We see it with Locke, Max, and Tails' parents, but even Uncle Chuck, as Sonic's surrogate parent, suffers from this
The topic of forgiveness is a complex one. Most of the time, we're dealing with relatively small slights (e.g., tempers flare, things are said that aren't really meant) and occasionally larger things where there's contrition (e.g., a friend's damages your car being careless, but apologizes and has it repaired). The hardest type of forgiveness is where the damage can't be undone, and we probably should have a different word for it. In these cases, I think it's not so much absolving the person at fault, but acknowledging that you're going to move on with your life. In this context, Penders forgiving his father was imo the right thing to do. I also wouldn't have minded Knuckles forgiving Locke, but only after a long conversation where he tells Locke just how messed up his childhood was. Honestly, Flynn did a great job with Locke's death, as we finally got to see Locke realize what he'd put his son through, but also just how much he cared for him. For me, it's easily Flynn's best writing
>>19337 >>19338 Yeah, he never was able to pull it off in the comic, but considering how differently he raised his own kid and dotes on his grandkids, he at least got it right in his own life. So much of Penders' writing frustrates me to no end, but I genuinely am glad he's a much better father than he is a writer. I'll still never forgive him for turning my husbando into a creepy pizza delivery guy though!
>>19333 I 100% self-insert as Sleet from Sonic Underground so you're not wrong! >>19342 This is 100% accurate and you know it! Seriously though, you can tell which lines in Sonadow Generations Toyoda had a hand in and which ones were all Flynn. I can sense Toyoda in most (all?) of the main dialogue of the Shadow story, but more than a few of the incidental lines are pure Flynn
>>19339 >An aside, but parents not being able to adequately communicate with their children is a huge part of Archie Sonic. We see it with Locke, Max, and Tails' parents, but even Uncle Chuck, as Sonic's surrogate parent, suffers from this The parents in Archie Sonic are interesting; because you're adding characters like that to a franchise that doesn't really have them normally. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and the rest all go on adventures and don't really have anyone waiting for them at home, so them having parents and family is something unique to Archie. It's interesting that Sonic himself has the least friction with his parents and Uncle, since he's the most independent. Maybe his parents letting him be independent is what helped him turn out so well; Tails, Sally, and Knux had more trouble with their more old-school parents.
>forgiveness I can certainly understand Penders forgiving his dad, who doesn't sound like all that bad a guy. I just mean that putting him (and especially Locke) on a pedestal and seeing him as infallible isn't a great idea either.
>Honestly, Flynn did a great job with Locke's death, as we finally got to see Locke realize what he'd put his son through, but also just how much he cared for him. For me, it's easily Flynn's best writing Yeah, the Enerjak Reborn arc is my favorite Archie arc. It's got a great villain in Finitevus, Locke's death scene is a good one as you said, and watching Knuxerjak fucking wreck Eggman and the asshole Dingos was a treat. Just a good solid adventure arc all around.
>>19344 >adding characters like that to a franchise that doesn't really have them normally That's a really good point. SoJ has no problem just ignoring the parents thing whereas the western side explicitly addresses it. SatAM/Underground has Uncle Chuck, Fleetway has Kintobar and Tails' family, and even AoStH makes it clear that Sonic is Tails' family. Boom sidesteps the issue by writing the characters as young adults and the movieverse's central theme is found family
I think Sonic has the least amount of friction with his parents because they explicitly address that they weren't around to raise him and generally treat him as an adult child that's moved back home. Sonic only ever has some minor friction with Uncle Chuck when he found out he'd been keeping his parents still being alive as Robians a secret
>I can certainly understand Penders forgiving his dad, who doesn't sound like all that bad a guy. I just mean that putting him (and especially Locke) on a pedestal and seeing him as infallible isn't a great idea either. Yeah, I agree. I think Penders tried to address this with how Knuckles chose to raise Julie-Su differently (and how he raised his own kid irl), but Locke is still never called out for his frankly bizarre parenting decisions
>Yeah, the Enerjak Reborn arc is my favorite Archie arc. It's got a great villain in Finitevus, Locke's death scene is a good one as you said, and watching Knuxerjak fucking wreck Eggman and the asshole Dingos was a treat. Just a good solid adventure arc all around. Cool villain that integrates with the existing lore, resolving plot threads that have gone on for ages, minor characters getting a chance to shine, cool fight scenes, and a focus on best boy Knuckles? Man, that arc's got absolutely everything I love about Archie Sonic! Return to Angel Island is probably my favorite storyline overall though
>>19347 Yeah, despite not getting a lot of screentime, he ended up one of my absolute favorite characters. Flynn definitely had plans for him. Maybe one day we'll get Lost Hedgehog Tales >>19348 >source of malt >diamond dust lmao Oh, and if you're wondering what the three swords is referring to, it's likely the three sacred swords Arondight, Galatine and Laevatein (Lancelot/Shadow, Gawain/Knux, Percival/Blaze's swords)
>>19349 I liked how Fini operated and how he wasn't into Conquering. He just wanted to burn Mobius to the Ground and was the culmination of the Echidna Bullshit. >>19346 It's actually funny yet nice that Sonic's relationship with his parents is pretty healthy despite it all. They know he's important to the planet, he loves then unconditionally and would move heaven & earth for them. Plus none of them have time for bullshit.

Throwback Thursday #1: “Magic Knight Raymobius” by bluefantasy (2007) I wanna start doing a lil’ thing of uploading older Sonic fanart, usually from the 2000’s to early 2010’s (and occasionally the 90’s) on Thursdays. Any thoughts?
We visit another universe. This time it’s the Sol Universe. I prefer tweaking and adding characters wherever I can, especially in roles that need to be filled across the multiverse. Characters in the Prime Universe have counterparts in every other universe. So why is Gold here? There’s various reasons why.
So they're finally planning on making an official translation for the Shadow manga and the upcoming Sonic manga. I'll laugh when they get exponentially more money that way and realize that Japan is the smallest market. Still lost a lot of potential money since they didn't do that from the start. Better get it going for the Sonic manga before it starts in Japan but since they're begging people to stop sharing the pages online again they might not get it out in time.
>>19350 Oh yeah, Fini's great because he'd be way more successful at conquering Mobius than any of the other villains but he just doesn't care about that. Villains having different goals that would shift between aligning and conflicting with the heroes or other villains was one of the best parts of Archie >>19351 Soon we're gonna have every ship covered in MXYL! >>19353 Sonic and Knuckles are both (very handsome) heroes with a strong moral code that rely on their physical abilities and training to save the day, but they're very different outside of that. Sonic's the Sun to Knuckle's Moon (hence their chest markings), so the way they approach things is very different. While Sonic is worldly and carefree to the point of being reckless (e.g., when he punted the conch from Eggman in Lost World), Knuckles is isolated with a sense of duty so strong it often gets him in trouble (e.g., trusting Eggman). Their contrasting personalities balance each other out, which is why they work so well together (platonically or in a relationship) >>19356 100% this. There's a reason Knuckles is my favorite game character >>19358 lmao >>19360 Ha! >>19361 It's my favorite type of Sonic fanart so I'm all for it! >>19370 She's called Princesse Aluçion in the French comic, but I think they've just changed the name here.

New Chris Thorndike is fine, but I want to see Sonic and the other Islanders/Mobians/Blobians going on adventures >>19478 lmao, Lien-Da probably runs a betting pool on how badly Robotnik will fuck things up >>19481 That really is an odd choice, although I'd have liked them to have been closer platonic friends
>>19484 funny enough watched Scooby Doo and Batman the Brave and The Bold today, as usual Daphne mogs Velma, Plastic Man is great, I got to see Harley's bitch face get punched and was nice to see the BATB setting/art style and cast again since is my fave of the DC cartoons.
>>19482 There needs to be a comic where Sonic goes to America and realizes he's a celebrity and everyone loves him. Then he goes to Japan and nobody knows or cares who he is.
>>19482 >Sonic was mostly in character It's funny how schizophrenic Sonic's character is. The movie version has a secret core of sadness over losing Longclaw, the Fleetway version is a grumpy prick, the IDW version is a preachy dolt, and the Prime version is a retard. And if you ask 10 different fans what counts as "in-character" for Sonic, you'll get 10 different answers.
>New Chris Thorndike is fine, but I want to see Sonic and the other Islanders/Mobians/Blobians going on adventures Agreed, that was what I liked about Fleetway and the better parts of Archie. No stupid kids or sobbing lesbians; just adventure.
>>19487 Kek, that'd be pretty hilarious. Would Sonic even notice? It's not like he generally hangs around to give autographs.
>>19492 We should take bets on how many more times Whisper will cry in the next year. I'm guessing 3.
>>19493 >Kek, that'd be pretty hilarious. Would Sonic even notice? It's not like he generally hangs around to give autographs. He's been known to chill in cities and around people like Sonic Adventure, Unleashed, and Sonic X. And of course Archie Sonic would as well. I'm also thinking about Sonic that acts straight up Jpaanese. All his favorite food are Japanese dishes that he perfectly says the names of, he eats with chopsticks and says "itadakimasu" before eating, enjoys relaxing under a kotatsu, and when Amy approaches him in a yukata with the intent to ask him out to watch fireworks, he runs away.
>>19494 >when Amy approaches him in a yukata with the intent to ask him out to watch fireworks, he runs away There's official art of him watching fireworks with her in a yakuta.
>>19486 ....but I don't like Amy LMAO. Still well drawn regardless my personal taste aside. Funny how I adore Sally but don't really like Velma/really like Daphne but don't care for Amy.
>>19494 >He's been known to chill in cities and around people like Sonic Adventure, Unleashed, and Sonic X. And of course Archie Sonic would as well. You're right, my bad. I guess I just tend to think of him when he's out adventuring, racing from one place to another.
>>19501 just don't really like either her creepy stalker behaviour but sanding that off like her current characterization she's just not very interesting either. Amy is just a character who does absolutely nothing for me anytime and just never liked her since was a kid.
It's a shame I removed Amy's obsession for Sonic in my comics but I have thought up some funny situations in case my version of the characters interact with the game/IDW versions. >game amy realizing that sally and sonic are a couple >game amy tries to act like she's in a relationship with game sonic only for him to instantaneously disappear when she tries to hug him >sonic and sally wondering what's up with game sonic, thinking maybe he is just shy but sonic starts thinking he's gay or asexual with sally adding that there's nothing wrong with that >game sonic talks about where he sleeps (tails' couch and on the grass out in the wild) and sonic says he usually sleep in his race car bed and then leans forward and smugly says he also sleeps in sally's bed and that there's not much sleeping during that >game sonic finds sonic annoying and even more arrogant than him

The way Sally is freaking out, you’d think she already read the script for this issue! Also, that’s the bottom of the Death Egg up there. Eggman is talking out his ass!
>>19506 Looking at the other replies, it's good to see people bringing up that Sonic wasn't doing that well before Sonic Boom and that Sega rushed the game out.
>>19517 >top: all the mario characters >bottom: a bunch of people and some sonic characters >>19518 >>19519 Maybe one poster stopped posting and it just feels lonely without them. Not including TP of course.
>>19646 I've probably said this a thousand times but Blaze being tied to Silver is an awful idea that is at the expense of her character and the more we distance her away from 06 and it's decisions with her, the better
>>19652 yeah mostly gave my thoughts since nut was going on about nuclear winter loudly at dryers and also my Nan watches the news to much then blabs on it. I'm sure it's not gonna escalate to that or a third world war but still just like to be sure people are doing ok regardless since still worrying.
https://www.deviantart.com/morkzaytf9/art/ELECTRICAL-TSUNAMI-PAGE-7-1209504644 There are seven pages of this and it's not over. I'm not looking at anything else of this and I'm afraid I probably tainted my DA algorithm again.
We actually got some sales numbers of Sega games from Sega because they accidentally leaked it. Now we know how Sonic has done as well as how it compares to other franchises they own.

The thread's about to hit bump limit after seven and a half hours. Seems there was a need for a Sonic thread for those people to unleash their usual zeal for the series and franchise in general.
