Part 3 (Issues 16-24)
>>84704831
I know I fucked up the 2nd link but I don't CAAAAAAAAARE
I'm glad I didn't miss the microwaving.
OH SHID IDS HABBENING
>>84717689
>MMZ comic
That's the one where he's about as out of character for Zero as you can get, right? I've never had the pleasure of reading that. But I did read HUEga Man. What a fucking shitshow.
>Also true, Boom did fall flat a lot, but I still enjoyed it because it was a nice breather between issues of the regular books and was pretty funny at times
Eggman was fucking great in it. For all the shit I give him, Ian always did a great Eggman.
>The X comics were a lot better than the actual show and honestly i can't not like a comic with Luchador Eggman
And the fact that Chris was an actual supporting character and not the main character like he is in the anime. Also the comic in general had a much more laid back approach to it and no super serious "chris saevs teh wurld!!1!" moments.
This is the worst fucking thing
>>84717982
>That's the one where he's about as out of character for Zero as you can get, right? I've never had the pleasure of reading that. But I did read HUEga Man. What a fucking shitshow.
Yes. It's really fucking bad. Surprisingly, I haven't read BR Mega Man or Dreamwave yet, but I plan to. But the Zero manga is fucking cancer and one of the only things I despise as much as Penders' run on Archie Sonic
>And the fact that Chris was an actual supporting character and not the main character like he is in the anime. Also the comic in general had a much more laid back approach to it and no super serious "chris saevs teh wurld!!1!" moments.
If only the actual show was like that.... if only.
This entire issue really shows how warped Penders' perception of a healthy father-son relationship is
That last page reminded me that the arc after this is the fucking worst arc in this entire comic
>>84718195
BOARDING
SCHOOL
Oh, just a heads up, I'll probably be taking a break around an hour before the party starts (6 PST), but we'll see how things play out IF the announcement is later than I think, then I'll keep going
>>84717689
>>The X comics were a lot better than the actual show
I mean, sometimes sure, but X had some comic issues that are almost Many Hands bad.
I wonder how many pages of exposition exist in this fucking series. I'd wager it takes up at least half of the comics
>>84718508
Oh absolutely (The flying Amy issue comes to mind immediately), but overall the X comics never really pissed me off as much as the show did at points
>>84718508
Only during the first ten or so issues. I'd argue that the second half of X's run is among Ian's best work.
>>84718104
>I haven't read BR Mega Man
It's a wild fucking ride. I think someone storytimed it on /co/, so if you really wanted to torture yourself you could do that some time.
>Dreamwave
Ehhh. From what I've read it's a shittier version of Ian's comic and Mega Man (aka "Rocky") goes to school with regular human kids.
>If only the actual show was like that.... if only.
What kills me is that the pilot was pretty much exactly that. I think it also took place on Sonic's world because there weren't any humans, only anthros. But I guess some executive was like "This is nice and all, but where's the kid protagonist? We need the kids to able to identify with someone!"
>>84718402
They'll probably wait til the very end. Can't wait to see how spergy the chat is gonna be.
>>84718508
There were some real stinkers yeah. Overall though it was a vast improvement from the anime. Not that it's saying much, but I like to give credit where credit is due.
>>84718195
As a young'un I actually shipped her and Knuckles.
How foolish I was.
>>84718671
>Ehhh. From what I've read it's a shittier version of Ian's comic and Mega Man (aka "Rocky") goes to school with regular human kids.
Yeah, I've heard how bad it is, and that the cartoon's taking inspiration from it. I still want to read it to see how bad it is. I'll gladly track down BR Mega MAn because what I have seen is fucking insane
>>84718722
I don't get this. They say this is the reason why Guardians had to go off on their own from then on, but wouldn't it make more sense for this to be the reason they should be paired up, or have someone keep a closer eye on them?
>>84718708
We all make mistakes.
>>84717983
0-100 in like two pages. Why the fuck did Mr. Knuckles run if he was going to be like "oh maybe I should talk to him" just a few steps later?
Glad I stopped reading before this bullshit, and I was only exposed to the early bullshit.
HAD A BAD DREAM
>>84718780
Galan tries so hard to make Rembrandt's tragedy look genuine, but there's no way you can make that outfit look like something anybody would wear.
I KNOW WHAT I GOTTA DO
BETTER MICROWAVE THE BABY
>>84718971
D'aww, Knuckles actually looks cute here.
This is fucking terrible
Why the fuck am I even doing this?
>>84719019
>You were meant to be a mutant! And it worked! Yay!
>>84718722
>cartoon
Don't remind me. I hope it's not just Ben 10: Mega Man Edition.
>>84718944
Writing aside... I actually like Knuckles' 25YL look. ...It's that fucking hat, alright? I just like the hat. Don't judge me.
>>84718971
>that second panel
I'm fucking dying.
>>84719097
Father of the fucking year!
So who wants some ROMANCE?
>>84719159
And now, for no reason, here's Knuckles fighting Godzilla.
This may be the last issue I do for now. Either this or the next issue.
>>84719276
>Eat This!
Sounds appetizing.
Actually, quick break to grab a bite so I don't have to go out later
>>84719218
Oh fuck- I think I actually bought this one as a kid.
What on earth was I thinking? They must have been out of the Sonic comic or something.
What's this "party" everyone keeps talking about?
>>84719462
9pm eastern. Sonic 25th anniversary party where the new game is announced.
God help me this cringe is too much.
I really liked this series when I was younger. I can tell that it's garbage now, but for some reason I have this fondness for it.
Sorry for the hold up. As I said earlier ,this will probably be the last issue I do for today, as the party is fast approaching
Oh shit! I forgot this issue introduces another new character, except this one's actually kind of sort of important in the main comics
>>84719896
>Soultouch
Theres something incredibly disturbing about this concept.
>>84719896
This was the exact moment I realized that this comic sucked. Took me long enough.
Specifically, it was the point where the feeling that the echidnas were a Mary-Sue race became undeniable. Thankfully, I was able to preserve my sanity by pretending the whole "soultouch" thing was an echidna superstition with no basis in reality.
>>84719972
I get more "I didn't want to actually put effort into developing Knuckles and Julie-Su's chemistry so I asspulled a way to have them get together without actually developing them" from that
>>84719991
Wait, the microwaves didn't turn you off, or the endless exposition?
>>84719896
So this is basically how "the talk" went Pender's son, right?
>>84720042
Well, considering Locke is based off of Penders' dad, I'd say this is actually how PENDERS got the talk
>>84720177
Ye gods, this art...
>>84720234
It gets worse. Believe me, it gets so, SO much worse
>>84720107
>Well, considering Locke is based off of Penders' dad,
Wait, I was just joking. Are you telling me this drama bullshit with Knuckles' parents is just an allegory for Penders' own personal issues with his parents? This is fucking webcomic tier writing.
>>84720334
Literally fucking who?
>>84720234
Compared to what we've had and will get, this art is bretty gud.
Still trash as fuck though.
>>84719972
Locke is obviously bullshitting.
Otherwise his wife couldn't have remarried.
>>84720407
>Literally fucking who?
I.... think it was a tie into something else Archie was doing. I don't know
>Wait, I was just joking. Are you telling me this drama bullshit with Knuckles' parents is just an allegory for Penders' own personal issues with his parents? This is fucking webcomic tier writing.
Yes. In fact, Penders outright said on his Twitter that Locke was based on his own father, and a story in M25YL is dedicated to him and his battle with cancer.
>>84720288
>mfw motherfucking teleporting ant
Oh hey, a backup with one of the only semi likeable characters in this comic, nice.
Oh hi R63 Nack
Actually fuck it, I'll bang out one more issue. Won't take that long anyways and I got time to kill
>>84720602
Is Archie even trying anymore?
Oh hi Fiona
>>84720696
You're implying Penders ever fucking TRIED
>>84720663
Ohhhh, I get it.
Its the old arcade game.
>>84720746
Yeah. It's kind of weird for Penders to acknowledge any of the games, since he's outright admitted to playing none of them
>>84720508
>Yes. In fact, Penders outright said on his Twitter that Locke was based on his own father, and a story in M25YL is dedicated to him and his battle with cancer.
I went from mad to sad.
Okay now I'm mad again. Fuck OFF Penders.
>>84720602
Would you Nic the weasel?
>>84720663
Why is he wearing a fedora though?
I have a lot of questions.
>>84720801
Art by Chris Allan?!?!?
>>84720602
Penders: Hmm, I need a good female villain for those sweet brownie points...
Ehh, I'll just make Nack the Weasel with breasts, that'll do.
Onto the final issue for now. Or possibly for the night, depending on how things go
>>84720835
THAT Chris Allan?
>>84720872
>PRO ART
sensible chuckle.gif
>>84720925
Three whole months of this garbage. I don't know how we coped as kids.
>>84721069
How the hell does she know this guy? She's been in the Dark Legion until a couple days ago.
>>84721153
Echidna magic
>>84721359
Knuckles dropping his spaghetti would be endearing if it were written by anyone but Penders.
Also, the Sonic Twitch channel just went live, for anyone who wants to watch what I assume is the preshow shit.
>Penders swears on Twitter that Capcom interviewed him about his shitty app that totally exists
This man is a gold mine
>>84721475
I'm not fucking ready man
>>84721550
It's just preshow shit probably. You're good for another 45 min or so.
>>84718882
He's literally being a manipulative cunt. Since he couldn't escape, he's pretending he wanted to see him.
Yes, really.
>>84721615
I know, but I'm freaking out. It's been 3 fucking years man, shit's gonna get CRAZY
>>84721615
>>84721632
They're just playing Mushroom Hill Zone's music on repeat for right now.
>>84718708
>Shipping Knuckles with anyone other than his emeraldfu
You always find new ways to disgust me, Boco.
>>84721632
There's nearly 7,000 people watching right now and that number is going to jump up exponentially as I type this. Yeah, it's going to be something alright.
Still not getting hype for the new game until I see actual gameplay though.
>>84721754
>Still not getting hype for the new game until I see actual gameplay though.
Neither will I, but I'm excited to see something related to mainline after 3 years of silence.
>>84721804
I just fucking hope it's not Generations 2.It's going to be Generations 2 isn't it?
This fucking sperg chat is killing me. No mods, no mods anywhere. Also yea boi Aquatic Base music dank as fukkk
>>84722180
>nic's tits were erased from time
Oh well. They could never really keep her consistant. She was always drawn as a DFC or cowtits
And that's it for this issue. Unless something changes, that's also it for today. Hopefully this thread can stay alive until tomorrow for the finale of the Storytime of Pain & Knuckles
>>84719226
It's Reptar.
Galan did storyboards on Rugrats.
>>84722392
Thanks m8. Time to go to the designated shitposting thread on /v/ for the anniversary stream. See you tomorrow.
>>84722272
Never ever look at a Twitch chat.
>>84723335
I know, but I look anyway. Mods have finally showed up though so now its autism levels are back down to a dull roar.
>>84718319
Ignoring the fact that the humans (or, Overlanders, I guess?) how does that make Stephhenwolf's actions any less evil?
Shit 0-0
>>84718814
Actual deadbeat parents wouldn't use that excuse.
>>84724038
Oh, sure they do. Anything to deflect responsibility.
Bumparoo
BZZZZZ
Party's over, I'm still up, let's bang out a few more issues
So, what do you all think of what was announced tonight?
B
U
M
P
This page is a fucking masterpiece of awful
>>84732053
She is really lusting over that picture
Time for a dumb one-off issue, and then the final arc
I wish I could fucking use the ST4 Autodumper but I can't get the URL to work
Why is the bird feral, but Knuckles an anthro
>>84733706
Why is Sonic an anthro while Orcas are not? It's one of those things that's you just have to accept in all versions of Sonic
>>84733639
Was the coloration explanation really necessary? She was pink for like, 2 books. Worse errors/design changes have happened. It's incredibly out of place.
>>84733868
No, it wasn't. It was fucking stupid. There's explaining things in a funy way and then there's that. An example of the former (kind of ) is the explanation for Vector's design change: he asked Mighty to help him get /fit/
>>84734194
So the Knuckles series was a prequel to King of the Hill the entire time...
LAST ARC.
It was actually before this arc that Penders learned that the Knuckles comic would get cancelled at 32, so if this arc seems like it has absolutely nothing to do with anything, that's why.
Someone post the edit. It's fine to post it, I got enough images to finish
2nd to last issue. Just one more and I'm free at last
>>84735022
>>84735022
Nasty legs
>>84735050
Nasty legs for a completely unoriginal character
>>84735103
HARAMBE
NO
FINAL ISSUE. THE FINAL FUCKING ISSUE OF THIS SHIT COMIC IS UPON US
>>84735745
Wait so two plots are wrapping up in this one issue? Or does it end on a cliffhanger? Just plot out of nowhere, resolved just as quick.
>>84735802
Yeah, it's resolved here. Again, this was written after Penders found out this was getting canned, so he wrote a quick self contained thing to fill page space
Brb gotta restart my computer
>>84736110
>knows it's the last comic
>puts "for now!", hinting at another
Did he really expect them to return to this? Or did he throw this guy in the main series?
>>84736312
Yeah, Penders brought him back in the main book a few years later.
>>84736377
Actually that wasn't Penders, but Bollers, as he's the one who wrote Return to Angel Island. He brought him back to be killed off by Hyper Knuckles
>>84736528
>>84736537
What the fuck just happened
And that's it. That's the end of the Knuckles comics
I hope you all enjoyed this Storytime of Pain, because I kind of enjoyed doing it despite how fucking long it took and how poorly I planned it
So happy 25th anniversary Sonic, have a happy weekend, and go fuck yourself Ken Penders, I'm out.
>>84736564
>Kendall Lindsey
>Age 9960
>>84736594
Thanks for the pain
>>84736594
thank you op
>>84718971
Suddenly, kawaii Knuckles.
>>84719238
>first date
>part one of three
Archie himself is able to go on at least three dates in one comic.
>>84736613
It's 9‰, which is still weird.
>>84734700
>Colleen Doran
Wait, what?
>>84734039
Sonic getting cucked
>>84718780
Geordi LaForge Knuckles is the dumbest Knuckles design.
>>84718104
Zero manga is truly the most horrible thing to ever be put on this planet, and that's coming from someone who didn't think MMZ could get any worse.
>>84734039
Sally getting it on with every goddamn character in the book, because the writers don't know how to write women.
I can't believe Chris Allan went from Archie TMNT to....THIS.
