https://x.com/sonic_legacy/status/1829677223114420395 Good to see Sonic Legacy isn't dead. For a short while it was on a roll and I was thinking it would put out an issue every other month.
Knuckles and the Chaotix Issue 2 Page 6 https://mobiuscomics.com/knuckles
Ouch! A typical situation where two guys fight over a girl but usually not for this reason. Mighty defending Surge is very chivalrous but she is working for the bad guys. In fact, she’s a bad guy herself!
>>8200 I was expecting people to be much angrier towards Mighty but then I remember that he's attacking Knuckles. Not Sonic. Imagine how that would've been received.
https://www.deviantart.com/tsubasakei/art/Shattered-Crisis-Sonic-and-Sally-1093841006 >i deeply missed sonic and sally team tanggo tbh. I want her in modern media to whip sonic into shape lol >funny how i hate the pair when i was a kid, but as i grow older i can appreciate this power couple more! Also, first time drawing Eggman! And here I am, having her draw the Knuckles comic.
Ha! Nice feet! >>8226 Sonic has it too easy with all his non-Shadow friends sucking him off. Then again Sally would be sucking him off in a different way.
>>8227 It's sad, this new vision of Sonic Team making Sonic this squeaky clean, 100% corporate approved entity. His 90s personality all but gone, his 'coolness' thoroughly neutered. Can't have anyone challenge our one and only God Sonic. Thank god they brought back the edge in the 3rd movie.
Speaking of sucking, can we admit that this is one of the worst teams? It sucks because the two in the back do nothing but suck him off. It's so boring.
>>8228 >His 90s personality all but gone, his 'coolness' thoroughly neutered. That's why I liked Fleetway Sonic. He was genuinely a grumpy arrogant cunt, which gave him tons of personality.
But I've always thought that the "brooding Shonen rival anti-hero" characters make great protagonists. They have enough personality not to be boring but they're still relatable, since everyone gets angry.
>>8241 Yeah, Ian isn't to blame for the plotline, but he probably shouldn't have stretched it out the way he did. It took a while for Sonic and Tails to address the problem. I guess he felt like the other plotlines (ADAM, killing off Sir Connery and the rest of the extraneous characters) took priority.
>>8239 Yeah STC Sonic has always been based in my eyes. Some may find him a bit too harsh and I understand why. But it made him feel that much more 'real' as a character.
The "brooding Shonen rival anti-hero" is hard to get wrong, you have so much more leeyway when writing them.
>>8241 Bollers was the one who did it. >>8242 It could've been handled with more delicately. house of cards is such a strange thing. Two issues of this arguing and poof! It barely exists outside that bubble.
>Here's a sample of a couple of color-corrected pages from KEN PENDERS' KNUCKLES OMNIBUS Vol 1. My colorist Ethan is doing his best to match the colors from the SONIC 3 video game, which I think is a major improvement from the original.
>>8246 lmao, they straight up used the Angel Island Zone background sprites. Also, RIP Toasty Tails >>8245 I love that he got rid of the sewer pipe. Can't have anything comedic in this totally serious comic
>>8255 That would require Sega acknowledging Archie and Penders exists. >>8256 He has no rights to anything. The settlement allows him to use characters he created in new stories and even then they can't look like Sonic characters.
>>8254 I've tried not to be too harsh since it's just some kid doing the coloring at Penders' request. I actually think it would be a fun fan project taking old Archie comics and redrawing them to better suit the games, but to try and make money off of it really is in bad taste. I will say I really dislike the edits to Tails. His head looks bulbs without the hair tufts to balance things out. Also, if Penders really wanted to prove his critics wrong he'd actually finish TLSC. Fun fact: If the Konductor had started his comic at the same time as TLSC, we'd be reading the 50th issue by now, and yet Penders has only produced one issue's worth of original comic pages >>8255 It's really hard to tell with Sega. In 2015 they sent a cease and desist letter to The Dreamcast Junkyard to stop selling their The Ultimate Collectors Guide Book, which really was just a list of Dreamcast games and information about them. Of course, that was Sega of Europe, not Sega of America, so who knows https://www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2015/10/the-ultimate-collectors-guide-book.html >>8256 Penders believes he can reprint (and apparently now recolor) anything he wrote, and anything (pre-Flynn) that he gets permission for. I disagree with this, but it's up to Sega to sue (and they're lazy af) >>8257 >That would require Sega acknowledging Archie and Penders exists. Honestly, it's more funny to have Sega pretend Penders doesn't exist than it is for them to sue him
>>8257 >Honestly, it's more funny to have Sega pretend Penders doesn't exist than it is for them to sue him I want Sega to do something like Capcom did with Mega Man. When Mighty No. 9 came out it was a huge failure then MM11 comes out and it does much better. Of course one can't say that MM11 was made because of Mighty No. 9. So what could Sega do? Allow all the unfinished comics from Archie to be completed and sell them in complete trades.
>>8260 >Penders puts out his bullshit >Sega goes fuck it and realize thry oen the characters from Sonic media >Enter Sonic & The Freedom Fighters game. >If it's 2D, it's done by the Sonic Mania Team or a Beat Em Up by the Streets of Rage 4 Team >If its 3D...they actually get a good team behind it >And they allow the unfinished comics, get in with Capcom's current Crossover Love and reprint the Mega Man Crossovers.
>>7794 TEAM DARK: SUPERNOVA ODYSSEY 3-25 https://teamdarksupernovaodyssey.tumblr.com Well, those of you that had Black Doom's jewelry backstory on their bingo sheets can cross that one off
https://x.com/Fravoccado/status/1830976481939665222 Goth Maria? That's new! And hot! Don't worry, she's like 40-50 years old now. Or she would've been...
https://www.tumblr.com/st-silver Someone went to the trouble of laying down my criticisms of uwu-Silver so I didn't have to! Fun fact: round eyes = bottom, pointy eyes = top is 100% true in yaoi
>>8276 I'm surprised Eggman's so low. Tails and Stone getting so little time is a travesty >>8278 ;_; >>8279 wake me up inside (I can't wake up) wake me up inside (Save me) call my name and save me from the dark (Wake me up) bid my blood to run (I can't wake up) before I come undone (Save me) save me from the nothing I've become Now that I know what I'm without You can't just leave me (oh, oh-oh) Breathe into me and make me real (make me real) Bring (bring) me (me) to life
Considering it came out two years after SA2, I'm 100% convinced Amy Lee's a Shadow fan
>>8280 Those who say original silver (or him in general) is anywhere near good is actually laughable. Fuck Silver glazers. Your keto shadow is shit! SHIT!!!!!!!!!!
>>8280 At least his character is intact in the sonic channel stories, which makes me wonder why Sonic Team let's IDW get away with raping his character so hard.
>>8297 I imagine Silver is one of the characters Sega doesn't care that much about and has less restrictions on how he should act. The very little amount of work Sega put into Silver is a stark contrast to how much they keep adding to Shadow and we all know how difficult it is to write him and get it approved. Remember that Silver shows up because portals lol. >>8300 Man, Archie Silver didn't give a fuck. He'd take on all the heroes if he had to. Mimic would have to give up his disguise and surrender just to be spared.
Sonic and the Freedom Fighters Issue 6 Page 24 https://mobiuscomics.com
And with that, we have reached the end of the Sonic 2 arc! Is Eggman truly dead? Where did the Death Egg fall to? Who will Sonic face next? Will having all the chaos emeralds help him? You’ll have to read the next issue to find out! Or play Sonic 3.
>>8303 >Eggman is dead >Battle Birds, fucked up >Sonic's getting action >Tails is tired of his shit
All's well that end's well. But a new Freedom Fighter? Will it be that master of adventuredom, Wombat Stu?! Also I think, call ot a hunch, Sonic is going to get punched. Hard.
>>8303 Arc wasn't too bad, pretty decent. >ends with sonally kiss Injecting that good stuff into my veins >You’ll have to read the next issue to find out! Or play Sonic 3 I'm hyped!
>>8300 lmao, he'd do that even if he had no idea "Duo" was a villain! >>8301 Yeah, they've got a consistent characterization for him in the Sonic Channel artwork, but he doesn't seem to be a priority. Shadow's Iizuka's favorite character so he gets way more scrutiny >we all know how difficult it is to write him and get it approved I think that's mostly down to Ian and Evan having a strong view of how Shadow should be written (i.e., Archie Shadow) that conflicts with what Sega wants. The other writers don't seem to have any issues with it. Of course, the other writers didn't have 20+ years of continuity cruelly snatched away from them, not only once but twice >>8303 Look how sad Tails is in the 3rd panel, he didn't get to finish off those birds ;_; Seriously though, another great issue! I can't believe we've got six complete issues already (and seven if you count Knuckles)! Ending with a cute Sonally moment contrasted with Tails' expression was a nice touch, especially since we all know who has to repair the suspension on Sonic's racecar bed >>8304 >But a new Freedom Fighter? Its Constable Remington, and he's joined the FFs as he needs their help to track down a (very handsome and stylish) serial kidnapper that targets young Mobian men. At least, that's how I'd write it! >>8305 Well said! lmao, for a minute there I thought I'd posted this
>>8304 >Sonic is going to get punched. Hard. So it is written! >>8305 >Injecting that good stuff into my veins Nothing like a healthy couple being romantic and kissing after the danger dies down. Or sometimes during danger. >>8306 >The other writers don't seem to have any issues with it. He was a problem in Sonic Boom because he couldn't make jokes and he can't have any of his backstory referenced. So he's just hanging out in a cave and the most evil character in the entire show. Prime was a challenge but the writers managed to work through it. Paramount can do whatever they want and they got Fowler who has legit history working on Shadow content.
Now that we're at a certain amount, there's a chance to put out more pages than before. And while more Sonic or Knuckles pages would be nice, let's give some focus to characters not in the current arcs. Think of this as the Sonic Universe of pages, but only one at a time. The first page will show what's going on with Little Planet and the people on it. When this page will be released for everyone to see has yet to be decided but it won't impact the schedule for Sonic or Knuckles.
>>8309 >He was a problem in Sonic Boom because he couldn't make jokes and he can't have any of his backstory referenced. Apparently Big had even more restrictions so they just didn't even use him. Still, I think making him a huffy grump that lives in a cave was pretty funny >Paramount can do whatever they want and they got Fowler who has legit history working on Shadow content. I'm really glad they got him on the movies. His cgi cutscenes were kino! >>8310 I may hate Penders but at least he theoretically cared about the characters and settings. I absolutely loathe Kaminski and hope all of his endeavors fail >>8311 That's adorable! >>8312 lmao, they really did mess up the eyes. Credit where credit's due, the colorist did at least correct panel 3 so that they're actually inside the airship >>8313 I really hope they bring Barry back in some capacity >>8314 lmao >>8319 Everyone's so mean to Silver ;_; >>8320 Nice! I do like the idea of having little slice of life pages since it makes the world feel more lived in >And while more Sonic or Knuckles pages would be nice, let's give some focus to characters not in the current arcs. I mean, if you're going to do another bathing scene with an Echidna certainly I have a suggestion!
When you're the star of the movie but you don't have the same star power as the others. >>8325 >I'm really glad they got him on the movies. His cgi cutscenes were kino! It all came full circle for him. >I may hate Penders but at least he theoretically cared about the characters and settings. I absolutely loathe Kaminski and hope all of his endeavors fail I wonder if Kaminski ever said anything about his time at Archie. The most I've heard was Ian being told by him to shove a Sonic Generations synergy arc in the comic while in the middle of another arc.
>>8326 When you think about it, Blaze is somewhere between Shadow (formal and aloof) and Tails (polite and unsure of himself) in terms of personality.
I 100% agree about Silver. Uwuver's a generic moe-blob and game Silver's just male Ryuko from Kill la Kill >>8327 To be fair, he is playing two characters so he should be getting more! >>8328 It's a pretty decent rate for a few hours in a recording booth and a few days on the PR circuit >>8329 Just think, he's getting over 100k per humph >>8332 I'm almost certain Sonic could pull some chaos emerald bs and regrow limbs
>>8334 Oddly enough, I actually kinda like it (and not just because I'll simp for anything with Rough and Tumble). You don't often see characters drawn exclusively head on or from the side. It's almost hieroglyphic-like
Playing the archie sonic fan game LOL!!!!!!!! If you even remotely like archie, you should try this. https://www.sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/sonic-dungeons-prototype-fps.2216/
Shadow no! >>8343 Retractable wings is a really cool idea >>8346 He looks like a bigger creep! 😍 >>8349 lmao, I'm really going to have to give this one a shot! >>8351 You just wait, someday they'll have him do something cool in the games, someday! >>8353 When you think about it, the Robians are Max's equivalent to Locke's Dingo racism >>8359 >let's tale a delicate and somewhat sombre piano piece and add dubstep in the laziest way possible I'm actually impressed, they finally made bad Sonic music for a mainline game (Sonic 4 and Superstars don't count) >>8395 >Sonadow generations >Sonic foreplay Someone at Sega needs to take a cold shower!
>holding hands with a happy surge IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME, NOT HIM! >>8397 >When you think about it, the Robians are Max's equivalent to Locke's Dingo racism It would be pragmatic to wipe out all the dingoes. >>8410 Looking good. Funny thing is that here the image may look sideways in the thumbnail but loads in the right orientation. 4chan wouldn't have realigned it.
>>8419 >potentially killed a former friendship by thinking with his dick Oh that mighty. She is so going to take advantage of his naivety and good heart. With all this surge romance, wondering if you'll ever get kit on that love grind.
https://x.com/STHandmore/status/1832653286492565673 >Well, I found some images from the production of Sonic: The Movie (or "Sonic Movie" for the finer ones), so I'll show them in a little thread, at the end of this I'll put the credits of where I found them. Be warned: There's a lot and it ain't pretty. But interesting.
>>8264 The Heart of a Monster 9-29 https://thoam.the-comic.org/comics/373 Tails has got a plan! From the artist: >haha gotcha. he's not out of control! friends and character development, everyone.
