Actually STC did have an explanation.

Sonic absorbed Chaos energy from Chaos and that turned his eyes green.

Archie is really making a big deal out of this genesis saga. I was reading the latest comic and they even have a "countdown to genesis" marker on the front cover! Never seen them do that before for any arc.

Then again, what arc would they want to make a big deal over? v.png

Also, Newsarama article confirms Genesis will be a temporary reboot (think House of M) and Sonic Universe will not be part of it, instead having an arc dedicated to everyone's favourite recolour-fighting-to-be-an-original-character, Scourge!

Ok whoever said the STH2 genesis cover would be part 2's cover should get a cookie!

So its just a partical reboot rewritting some of the early issues storyline.

I don't think it will be just "a partical reboot rewritting some of the early issues storyline.", more like continuity suddenly gets rewritten and then not.

But maybe it isn't.

I love the internal art shown in that article. If Sonic was drawn like that for the rest of forever, I'd be way too okay with it.

Maybe it's 'cuz I didn't truly become fan until post 2000, but I never quite got what's the deal with Sonic being shorter than now being supposedly better. I kinda like him the way he is.

But, eh, anyway, seems like an interesting experiment Flynn's got planned out here.

Sonic's old look is more iconic, plus it makes more sense, inspiration-wise.

I dig the mix of the new pose against the old background.

That said, I've still got the same complaints with the line consistency between the foreground and background; it makes the characters look so... superimposed over the background. Or rather, it makes the backgrounds look poorly inserted into the image. I just can't get over how unnatural it looks.

With that said, I may pick these up on release, if only for curiosity's sake.

I'd think they would do a S&K cover rather than a Sonic 4 cover. It's too similar to Sonic 1's.

Oh wow, so this is a temporary reboot. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little interested in this.

Not a fan of Sonic's large nose on the first cover, but everything else looks much better. Great fixes/attention to detail.

EDIT: Not sure if this was posted yet, but one of the pages from #226 is up for preview on this article.

I like the simplistic approach to the art, very clean.
