Yep.
Fun Fact: I actually made this photo
No joke.

Who would you pick to voice these characters?
>>83218480

>>83223747
That was awful Carlos
Fun fact: Sticks' design is based off of Aika from Skies of Arcadia, another Sega game.
>>83223929
Forgot to attach the image.
>>83223942
May as well attach a second image, while I'm at it.
>>83218480
Sticks a shit
I love her design. Her character is awful.
>>83223970Perhaps someone else, then?

I think she's pretty hit or miss.
But I like her more than I do Boom Knuckles.
>>83222758
>>83222685
I wanna snuggle her
The Sonic Boom games may have been shit, but the Sonic Boom cartoon that they were a tie-in for was actually pretty GOAT. And Sticks was one of the reasons why.

I was told these comics were edgy trash
>>83226781
>I was told these comics were edgy trash
Those who told you that are double faggots.
>>83226641
I'm so behind in the comic, since I only read them through trades and the very occasional digest ( and don't get me started on the outrageous delays and cancellations )
So what is that little thing's deal? Is it an auto-automaton or something? Does it have some kind of electrical powers?
>>83226781
They must have told you that pre Tu52. Once they started edging penders out of the picture the comic lightened up considerably.
>>83226844
She's a Chinchilla with Electric powers who worships Doctor Eggman
Only people with autism care about anything related to Sonic.
>>83226764
I actually vaguely remember someone at Sega having said it, sometime back. Both are Sega properties, too.
>>83227011
Why do think we're all here?
>>83226781
It was edgy trash for a long time because of Ken Penders. Once Ian Flynn started writing for the comic in the 2000s, the comic started slowly turning around. It's now actually being handled by people that know Sonic.
>>83227011
You do realize this is 4chan, right? It's pretty much a requirement to be somewhere on the spectrum to post here.
>>83222685
>>83222758
>Not Abyss
>>83227465
she's had, what, four lines?
>>83226844
she's one of Eggman's "Egg-Bosses", his generals who control the various zones under his empire. she's also pretty much the only one without some sort of ulterior motive for joining with him
she's a mobian who was given cyborg enhancements to further help Eggman, so she has electrical powers, but usually sends her time in a giant mech-suit to make up for her small size
>>83226700
I really like chinchillas and those expressions she makes are adorable. But she's fat.
>>83228668
>But she's fat.
And?
>>83227166Please tell me you're kidding.
>>83228668
She's like a mini eggman.
>>83228668
Chinchilla's are nice and fluffy, so there's that.
Also, her outfit looking like a tribute to Classic Eggman's outfit is a nice touch.
>>83220597
>>83228668
The fat is probably 50 percent hair.
>>83228911
Animated version for you.
Sticks is far too civilized for my tastes.
>>83225093
Ah! Always good to see the origins of a meme.
>>83229314
No, she's fat. There's plenty of other animals in that universe who are usually really fluffy and they're not spherical like her.
>>83229824
>>83226641
>>83228566

I should do more Thunderbolt, any ideas?

What about Thunderbolt dressed as Metal Sonic saying "Do you love me now, master?"

I don't get it
>>83230722
Shit man, these are gold.
Do you have a page or something?

THAT POST NUMBER THO
>>83232618
The Boom Comic?
Yes. Only got eleven issues but it was still pretty good.
>>83232410
That screenshot just makes me even more upset that there's nothing planned for Skies of Arcadia outside of cameos.
>>83232710
Do you think there's a chance Sticks, or an incarnation of Sticks could find her way to the main comic? I know Sega's got a soft spot for her, what with drawing her on the Sonic Channel website, and including here in the Mario and Sonic games.
>>83233583
If Flynn has the leeway to create characters like Thunderbolt and Abyss as well as adapting characters from AoStH I don't see why Sticks couldn't appear. Though the fact that she canonically appeared as being from an alternate dimension during Worlds Unite might make things tricky.
They moving her to the main universe since Archie cancelled BOOM?

One person can't bump a thread on their own with image dumps any more though, so don't forget to continue discussion
>>83234136
Wait, what?
>>83226781
My rough understanding is that it goes like:
>lighthearted animal adventures from the Archie guys
>starts to pick up donut steels, gets something of a continuity while still being silly
>mid-late 90's anime-wannabee sets in, partly from the Adventure games
>piles on more and more self-serious donut steels, especially Echidnas
>eventually they go fuck it and kick out Penders, clean his shit up for awhile
>clean shit up even further in a Mega Man crossover, comic is much more in-line with Sega's version
>>83234305
One person posting in a thread alone doesn't bump it, only a different IP from the previous post will.
>>83230120
Yeah, Sonic comic reaction images started showing up a lot after I stopped reading them, probably because I read them at the height of the edgy pseudo-anime trash phase (first issue was a little before #125, aka the one where he dies and goes to space).
>>83233580
That drawing isn't realistic at all.Blaze should be flatter
>>83234658
This, pretty much.
The legal issues mentioned in this picture are that Ken Penders eventually went on to claim copyright on a number of characters, including 99% of every echidna who appeared in the comics up to that point. If I recall correctly, they pretty much sent all of the echidnas except for Knuckles through some kind of time warp. I dunno exactly.
Either way, now Penders is trying to make his own comic with all the characters. And it looks like total shit.
>>83234838
better?
>>83234658
>donut steels as early as pre-endgame
God, I almost prefer the shit show OCs you see on deviant art compared to winners like Arlo the Armadillo, Penelope Platypus, And Hamlin the Pig.
Remember when Ken Penders gave Princess Sally her own mini series, except it was more about the forgettable freedom fighter trainee's, and Hamlin's pissing contest with that skunk, with very little focus on Sally herself, and when sales flopped, Ken Penders wanted to permanently kill of princess Sally?
>>83234947
I just can't get over the fact that, for the most part, that faggot Penders got his way, and has claim to characters that should basically belong to Sega. That Sega could basically get in trouble for using their character who has a resemblance to one of his characters, who in turn is basically a recolor of one of Sega's original characters.
>>83228745Sounds like someone's in denial.
>>83235362
I take it Shade has zero chance of ever coming back now?
>>83235956Believe it or not, I'm being serious. Please tell me you're kidding.
>>83236209
The echidna girl from Sonic Chronicles? Pretty much. I doubt Sega has any intentions on making a sequel anytime soon.
>>83236317
I didn't think they would, but the character seemed interesting enough to appear elsewhere.
>>83236209
Yeah. Penders had an autistic shit fest of rage when he found out that an official Sonic video game used his work on licensed Sonic comic as inspiration.
I think that was the starting point of Penders war on Sonic. Somehow, despite his characters all being essentially Sega's property, he was given legal ownership of his characters.
Now archie can't use any of them, and Sega is too scared to use Shade, therefore putting an embargo on her for Archie as well.
Things only seem to be getting worse since now Archie isn't even putting out trades that contain his characters.
Also, I heard a SatAM season 3, or a movie was in the works, and Penders sabotaged it.
>>83236237Why do you think this shithole is as bad as it is?
>>83236755Because of this:

Being able to post as anonymous means this is in full force. Isn't this why?

fuckin nice
>>83236574
Thank you kind anon, you are doing us a service, don't worry about how long it took
>>83236514
Here's why: almost every writer or artist that works at a company signs a work for hire contract that signs over all creations during their tenure there to the company. This sounds crappy, but it's because they're contracted to the company as employees and don't have to shop around for freelance work. Otherwise everything you create is automatically yours.
Panders signed one, but at the time Archie was a bunch of fuckhead incompetents. When he sued, he claimed to have not signed a work for hire contract. Archie was unable to produce a copy since the original had been lost in an office flood. I believe they produced a xerox, but it was deemed inadmissible because of some weird law.
So Penders got every character he created, which opened every other writer up to reclaiming their characters too. He can't ever use them because most infringe on Sega's design copyrights, but there you go.
>>83235362
It's really a win-win situation for both parties. Penders gets to maintain his pride, no matter how petty a means he used, and Sega no longer has to worry about Penders' trash in their comics.
>>83230166
>>83237030
>>83237096
>>83237036
Except Penders is broke and can't make the comic of his dreams anymore__________good___________
and Archie loses the characters that Ian was actually making interesting
Also it's unclear whether or not Scourge falls under Penders' purview, because even though Scourge is essentially a totally different character, his ORIGIN is that he was originally 'Evil Sonic', a character created by Penders.
I have a feeling Ian might end up seeing if he can use Scourge if he gives him a totally different backstory.
>>83237215
Why can't Penders just draw the damn thing on his own, webcomic artists make at least one page a week by themselves. He's been talking up Lara-Su Chronicles for years.
>>83237278
Because his art is shit and he wants to make a thing that will blow Archie Sonic out of the waterhahahahahaahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaaha hahahahaha ahaha aaaaaaaaaaahhahahahahahahahaahaha whoooo

to be fair, they're half-roboticized
he even stated he prefers fully robotic soldiers over the cyborg Egg-Bosses, its just that his AI isnt smart enough or tactical enough to compete with an organic brain, just look at Orbot and Cubot

At least Hamlin had a personality and served a purpose in the plot.
Arlo and Penelope were such non-sentities that they honestly shouldn't have even bothered naming them.
Hamlin at least returned and had his own little storyline later.

>>83242958
Give us a subject to talk about then.
>>83237410
Because he discovered digital art and thought he could hide his flaws with it.
>>83237848
Penders made a new character practically every single issue, and he never thought about their place in the comic afterwards.
>>83237410
niggers
>>83244495
If you reread through his issues, you'll see that he did this dumb things of bolding words THAT didn't need TO be be bolded AT all.
>>83245128
That's a pretty common thing in comics, or rather was decades ago.
>>83245128
PLEASE, that's hardly UNHEARD OF in comics. I've honestly never got people finding it ANNOYING, but trying to FORCE this joke, I've noticed it.

>>83236871I know I'm responding to an old post, but: as a TV Tropes fan, I can say that TV Tropes is autistic.
It's based around looking for patterns and jamming them into easy-to-categorize orders and lists. One of the main symptoms of autism is sorting things.
The GIFT is definitely in effect; but think, if people KNOW that they're going to be going among people who act like jerks, why do they still do it? Because we need some sort of outlet for feelings, and our social skills are too lacking for us to take chances and do it IRL, or with a username attached. This is not universally true, like everything, but it's the case for a lot of us.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with autism, anon. My best friends are autistic. You don't have to be afraid of it.
>>83236514
If we're thinking of the same SatAM movie, it was going to be pretty shit anyway. I hadn't heard that Penders killed it, though.
Character that conforms to design conventions without being so dogmatic as to look like a recolor, fills a winning archetype without being too obnoxious, and who is neither underutilized nor overexposed?
She's good, but if she ever crosses into non-Boom media they'll fuck it up.
>>83231041
Fuckin' burn.
Shame his writing was so hit-or-miss. Maybe one day he'll learn that writing a good story in ten to twenty pages is more important than setting up a surprise you might never reach.
>>83237215
Scourge is probably the biggest loss. He was the break-out villain in Archie, a really good character who for once was actually doing shit. Then Penders threw a hissyfit and we'll never get to see him in action again. Ghosts of the Future is the closest we'll ever get to having Scourge in the comics again.
>>83245858
Didn't she already cross into non-Boom media?
>>83246244
>>83246008
He's still setting up things he might never get to.
But it seems the new editor actually has had enough of it, given the fact the Unleashed arc is suddenly ending soon.
>>83245648
>If we're thinking of the same SatAM movie, it was going to be pretty shit anyway. I hadn't heard that Penders killed it, though
Ok, when you put it like that, i'm pretty sure the awful movie thing was all his idea, and not related to the sabotage incident.
But I know he did kill something. It was either season 3 of SatAM, or a new cartoon based on the comics, it wasn't Ken's idea, and talks were actually going well, but then Ken was brought on board with the project, and went behind whoever was heading the project's back, making all kinds of crazy demands to Sega that angered them into canning the project.
>>83246215
But isn't Ian doing a little non profit project on the side where he's releasing stories that were planned had the reboot not happened?
>>83247658
It's not the same as actually having him in the comic, though. It's just a word doc talking about what all he was gonna do, not a full fledged comic.
>>83247600
Okay, I found what you were talking about; I was wrong, it was a movie.
http://www.saturdaymorningsonic.com/features/ben_hurst/
Must've been thinking of something else. Or maybe Ken had his own movie, or was trying to take credit for it. Not sure what to make of this:
