Hey look, its Free Comic Book Day!

Been looking forward to this for like...Two Months.

 

Do I see Krudzu?

Oh, and Robotnik calling himself by both names at the same time was admittedly awesome. Can't wait to pick this up.

 

Ha ha, Snively chiding Eggman for "mocking Sonic from the shadows" was awesome. Looks great so far.

 

Preview looks awesome.

Despite the fact no where near where I live will put the damn thing out.

*waits for entire scan*

 

I thought they stopped hiring shitty artists for these. Guess not.

 

I was going to say, sure looks like it was drawn for Free Comic Book day.

 

I haven't followed the comic for years, but I thought that looked pretty good. Maybe a bit jagged and angular, but still enjoyable. I loved the panel layouts.

 

Yeah, the actual comic doesn't look like this does it? It took me by surprise.

 

The art is definitely not like that in the main series. Yardley's style (the main artist for the series) is quite different than that shown in the Free Comic, so don't use it as judgment if you dislike what you saw.

It makes for a good catch-up for anybody who hasn't read the 2009 series of comics. The story was pretty good too, especially for a free comic. I'm not going to reveal spoilers, but I will say that it is VERY nostalgic.

 

The one comic book store within 20 of here didn't have it. I'm disappointed.

 

Your mom is a free comic

(drums)

Anyway, I think the comic I'm interested in the most out of that lineup would be Archie Summer Splash >_> But only if it's a double digest. I digest digests in one night.

 

I didn't know there was such a thing as free comic day.

With my computer, every day is free comic day~

 

Hey, fuck you. I worked on this book. I think it was a pretty decent artist, too.

 

For the record, the artist is James Fry, who last did work on issue 207.

The sketches in the last pages were a great addition too.

 

No, you know he's right. The art is shit. Robotnik's jaw line looks.... Oddly out of proportion with how his teeth shown to be. And Sonic's spines are way too angular, and not in the good CD/OVA way.

Terrible art, but.. eh... It's Free Comic Book day. Why not get it?

 

The art in the Archie comics has definitely got better over the years, this issue's no exception.

Though I'm surprised Sanford Greene is still around. Ew.



And check out his thumbnail for #212 in the back of today's comic. Look at the others. Now look back at his. Blech.

 

Hahaha Sonic is meeeeeeeltiiiiiiiiiiiinggggggg

I still say Yardley! and Spaz are the best for covers. Yardley's cover work on the FCB is great.

 

Um... Is it bad that I like #212 simply because Sonic reminds me of a Ninja Turtle?

I mean, come on, you see the resemblance.. Right?
