Archie Sonic Comic Megathread

It's here, 7th post down. I wonder what's going on, if it's not SEGA or sales...

Well, it was the best of the Boomverse. I look forward to seeing new stories in Sonic Universe and where ever else they crop up.

 

But he says it's not SEGA, who would probably be the ones doing the axing. Perhaps they didn't really intend for it to last this long, they just wanted a few issues to advertise the subseries, and 11 was stretching it to bring it into the Worlds Unite event.

 

We Madonna now:

 

Haha I actually thought that was Topaz at first until she stated her name!

 

StH #273

+ - So I guess Gemerl is the 'new' Shard. While it's a good concept, I'd still have preferred to see a Shard derived from the S3K 'Mecha' Sonic.  

 

It still doesn't fill the hole in my heart, though....

 

The second I made this connection I squealed. It fits so perfectly with him too! I'm [inlinespoiler]gonna miss his cannon[/inlinespoiler] but honestly it's no biggie. The only real downside for me is [inlinespoiler]he doesn't have a mouth, so you can't see his crazy expressions. Didn't stop the cover artist from giving Sonic Man a mouth, but ya know, continuity and SEGA rules probably wont have that apply to him.[/inlinespoiler] Honestly if he's just on par enough with personality and snark I'll be fine.

[inlinespoiler]Wonder how he'll act if they bring Emerl back. Also wondering if Flynn is gonna just make him a modded Emerl since that was never officially confirmed anyway.[/inlinespoiler]

 

[inlinespoiler]Yeah that connection always confused me. It's not like Robotnik hasn't built Emerl clones before: it wouldn't surprise me if Gemerl just turned out to be a modified E-121 Phi. Would be interesting if Flynn began teasing us with the truth, with such possibilities as E-123 Omega coming into conflict with Gemerl because "Outline matches database for Unit Model E-121 Phi units. Resorting to excessive force... no, not because I need it, because I feel like it."[/inlinespoiler]

 

Man, I'm busy for a few days when the solicits went up, and no one else posted them here while I was gone. Come on, guys. Step it up.

 

Sort of related, but Rafa Knight (Elesis-Knight), who does 3D work for the Archie Sonic comics, has posted some official renders of some characters on his Deviant art. Definitely worth a look.

 

Scourge, eh? Wonder why that's labeled "official" unless he used that for something planned with Scourge pre-Penders (somehow doubt that, I don't think he was hired yet?) or its official because he works for Archie :p

Those glasses look even more implausible in 3D.

EDIT: Gotta say that toon render for possessed Amy actually looks kinda cool.

 

Just read the Battles Issue, it was a really fun read because of all the action. 3 battles featuring 3 diverse groups of characters, this was awesome.

 

It was supposed to be used on the cover of the cancelled Best of Sonic the Hedgehog: Rivals book.

 

Speaking of canceled books, were the remaining Knuckles Archives ever said to be scrapped?

 

Nothing official, but it seems pretty strongly implied.

 

This had better not include leg days...
