eh oh wow you're so lucky o.o I wish the comics came to Spain someday...

They did come to Spain, around 2004 or 2005. It was the Sonic X comics, and they came incluided in the Dibus! magazine. They weren't sold separately, though.

wow really?! oh I didn't know back then since I lost track of that magazine...oh well that's too bad. I didn't really like the Sonic X ones either...

I didn't knew it back, either ( and I also don't like the sonic X comics), but a friend of mine did get them and showed them to me a few years ago. There only published the first two or three issues, though.

We need a proper comic release here...starting on the genesis saga like the french one could be a good idea.

Update from Ian:

A heads-up - again, the STH solicit isn't 100% accurate due to various behind-the-scenes stuff. Expect the tie-in material next issue while the main story will be a full issue.

[Lanzer]

Bigger Covers people. Lol, anyone else spot a certain easter egg on the Encyclopedia cover? I'll give you a hint: Next to Chaos.

[Tylinos]

Probably not quite as interesting as the larger covers, but for anyone interested, here're the preview pages for SU #41:

Full pages under the spoiler:

For some reason, it switches over to Jughead preview pages after that. I have no idea.

[FeliciaVal]

can someone sum me up who is that Metal Sonic? I haven't read the comics from the beggining and I have no idea who is that

[Ashram]

Shard is supposedly a reincarnation of the first Metal Sonic in the comics, who died by willingly submerging himself in lava. It's interesting that he has the color scheme of Gemerl from Sonic Battle.

[Greg the Cat]

He's from some two parter that was in Issue #86 and #87. His big deal was that in the issues he kidnapped Tails and had Sonic save Tails who was on the inside of a volcano while he sacrificed himself out of a strong Kirk speech from Sonic.

It was bizarre yet memorable filler for the time.

oh I see...and how is it possible that is back now? did he get reconstructed or something?

[ancara]

I'm probably gonna feel stupid for asking, but whatever did happen to Rotor?

You know, the walrus that was supposed to be the main tech guy for the Freedom Fighters until Tails made his job basically moot?

We don't know for sure yet (Ian said it'll be explained), but Ian's been pointing out recently that in the past that same Metal Sonic's brought himself from pretty much complete destruction thanks to his Power Gem's abilities.

He's still pretty active.

Spoiler

He was on the council for a while, but he recently quit in protest to Nicole being exiled, and is now the leader of one of the three main Freedom Fighter teams. He also has a spiffy power suit for battle.

Fuck yes, pajama Robotnik for the win

I must say the character choices were odd. I know they went mostly for Sega characters, but Rouge, Froggy, and Blaze have had almost nothing to do with the comic, while Snively, Mighty, Fang, and Lein-da were ignored and have had a much more important role in the comic's history.

Speaking of Mighty, what the hell happened to Mighty and Ray in the comics anyway. I guess they said they were going to "find themselves" or something but is that just Ian's way of writing them out of the comics since they no longer make sense with the Chaotix?

Ian's said he has definite plans for them, but he wants to wait for the right time to do their story. During the interview on Segabits' Sonic Talk podcast in April, he said it should be coming "soon".

First, Gemerl is from Sonic Advance 3 not Battle. Second, hes using Metal Sonic 3.0's color scheme from Rivals 2. There suits also are from Rivals 1.

EDIT: I tweeted newsarama and asked if the images can be uncompressed. hopefully some of you can do the same.

Please tweet them guys and let them know that their Sonic comic previews are still being compressed:

For some reason, I mixed up Emerl and Sonic Battle with Gemerl and Sonic Advance 3. You're right.

And you can't blame me for not knowing about a Metal Sonic from the Rivals series... I'm sure I can count the people who played those games on my two hands.

I wish the Archie artists would realize that something's not right with Sally and Bunnie having such tiny hands whenever everyone else's hands are the standard massive-sized Sonic fare.
