Do you think they’ll reprint and/or finish Mega Drive?
Do you think they’ll bring Ian and Tyson back?

>>94652033
>Do you think they’ll bring Ian and Tyson back?

>Time for a fresh new start with a new publisher!
>Better bring back the exact same creative team from the old publisher! That'll freshen things up!

You suck at this, anon.

No Freedom Fighters.

That it's successful enough for IDW to start making comics based on other Sega IPs.

>>94652010
>What are your hopes for IDW’s Sonic?

That they include only game characters and original characters.

>Your fears?

That they acknowledge any of the shitty DiC/Archie characters.

>>94652073
I don’t think they’ll bring them back, but it’s within the realm of possibility. Hopefully they release Overdrive though.

>>94652147
You do you, man.

>>94652174
What other of their IPs are recognizable enough to warrant making a series? NiGHTS, Ecco, GOlden Axe, Jet Set Radio, and Panzer Dragoon could be cool, but how much of an audience is there?

>>94652010
>What are your hopes for IDW’s Sonic?
No Freedom Fighters.
>Your fears?
The Freedom Fighters.

>>94652411

Sadly, not an audience that's probably big enough.

But that's cuz Sega is letting them rot.

Knuckles not being an idiot would be nice. Damn Boom.

>>94652688
>Knuckles not being an idiot would be nice. Damn Boom.

Knuckles has been an idiot since his very conception, getting tricked by Robotnik over and over again in rapid succession.

The only reason you think he's deep and complex is because of Penders shit.

>>94652728

Whoa, hey, I admit he'll never be deep, but he's not a functional retard like in Boom, either.

He's a skilled treasure hunter, fighter, and has a lot of knowledge about ancient histories. He's just a little gullible sometimes.

>>94652073
Dude, they've said they were looking at old and new faces. Besides, no reason not to bring in some of the old guard since they're familiar with the franchise. Might be hired in a smaller role, but I could definitely see them bringing in an artist or two at least

>>94652033
>>94652073
>>94652808

I'm A-OK with IDW bringing back some of the better Archie artists, for sure. But leave Ian behind. I know everyone likes to jerk him off but he had really run out of steam in the past couple years and his run was getting boring and decompressed to hell. The guy had been writing the book for like 10 fucking years. He needs to be given a rest and let someone else have a chance to steer the ship.

Ian shouldn't have a multi-decade monopoly on Sonic comics.

>>94652808
Watch them take Spaz and no one else.

>>94653431
>Watch them take Spaz and no one else.

How many actual Sonic comics, not covers, has Spaz actually drawn in his entire 20+ year career? Like, 4?

>>94653464
He can go back to drawing covers and IDW will have made good on their old faces claim.

>>94653431
>Watch them take Spaz and no one else.

Too expensive. Also already said he's too busy to draw anything other than covers.

>>94653802
What else is he working on anyway?

No more Sega mandates.

>>94652865

Any fault with Ian was due to having to clean up after multiple reboots and the pendering

>>94652010
My hope is that they stop using SatAM as the basis for the comic's plot and main characters. That cartoon is over 20 years old and the countless people who have gotten into Sonic in that timeframe are mainly fans of the games.

I'm not saying they should scrub the Freedom Fighters from the comic entirely (Sega owns them) but they shouldn't main characters anymore. Sonic and his other game-character friends can help them out once in a while but Sonic isn't the kind of guy to commit himself to a team all the time.

>>94654432
>No more Sega mandates.
That's some wishful thinking right there

>>94652514
This desu

They have literally no purpose now. I dunno why exactly anybody would want them back besides nostalgia.

>>94652728
Being Gullible isn't synonymous with being stupid.

Knuckles was fairly intelligent in Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 yet was still pretty gullible

>>94654668

How would a Batman/Sonic crossover work? I do see a TMNT/Sonic crossover working with maybe Eggman and Shredder teaming up to make their own furry Sonic clones.

-I hope the comic starts fresh and focuses on a core set of characters (most likely Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, but I'm open to more being added on)
-I hope they are free to bring in anything Sega and IDW have the rights to, but don't make any non-core character a major part of the series for longer then six months. Freedom Fighters coming back is fine, but we don't need to see them every issue, and they don't need to define the story.
-I hope they continue to bring back obscure characters from Sonic's past like Honey and Breezie.
-I hope that when they choose what characters to focus on that game characters and comic/cartoon characters related to game concepts are given preference over pure cartoon originals.
-I hope it doesn't come back as a light or no continuity joke/light action comic. Those can be fine, but I like Sonic going out on adventures and having small story arcs.

>>94654915
ouch words hurt anon.

I'm really wondering what the setup will be for it.

They can't use the idea of Mobius or Sonic taking place in the far future since the current Sega stance is that Sonic takes place on modern-day earth.

Eggman isn't a conqueror, he's a guy who invents robots to try and take over the world and is constantly thwarted. Thus there can't be any "Freedom fighters" to fight against him, because that would assume the SATAM setup where he already won.

I've no fucking idea how IDW will try to explain why there are floating islands, magic and furries running around on present-day earth. In fact I'm really curious to see it.

>>94654736
nick TMNT was pretty good when i watched it, like 2 years ago, did it become shit?

>>94654934
>Freedom Fighters coming back is fine, but we don't need to see them every issue, and they don't need to define the story.

Then there'd be literally no point in having them.

Why does there need to be an explanation for these things? They simply are. One page Sonic is in Station Square, he runs off in the last panel, then he's running around a some technicolor landscape. It's fine.
If you need an explanation you can bring back the zone concept of them being pocket dimensions or whatever, assuming Penders doesn't own the rights to pocket dimensions.

>>94655270
We didn't really lose anybody of importance.

I doubt anybody really misses Julie-Su.

>>94654915
I think Archie owns all the characters they created after the initial series.

>>94652010
>What are your hopes for IDW’s Sonic?

Original stories.

>Your fears?

Game adaptions.

>>94654915
why your post get deleted?

>>94655519
I'm okay with game adaptations (so long as they change things to keep them interesting), but I really don't want this series to start with ANOTHER genesis games retread. We've had so many of those by now, just move on. I'm cool with those Zones returning, just don't want it to be another run through the first five games (including CD).

>all these people whining about how they should drop the FF entirely
>all these people saying the comic should stick to the games only
We had a comic about that, it was called Mega Man. It sold so poorly, it got cancelled. The FF-based comic on the other hand was Archie's #1 moneymaker for years on end. All you people demanding a game-only based comic talk a good talk, but you aren't the ones actually buying the comics, so who gives a shit about your opinions?

>>94655638
Yeah, I'm really worried about getting more Genesis. Sonic Mania will still be in recent memory when the comic comes out so I think it's a very strong chance of us getting more Classic Sonic issues.

>>94655375

I'll miss Lien Da.

>>94655705
>>94655638

Unless Sega is literally wrenching IDWs arm we won't get game adaptions. They have literally never done an ongoing series that's been dedicated to adapting source material from anything existing. All their licensed franchises have been about an original story and weaving in material from other iterations of it.

The only way this will be a regurgitated game comic is if Sega fucks it up. Which I don't put past them, but it would mean that IDW literally cannot do what they're famous for, and it would be pointless to even use them.

>fears
They get writers that don't care and we get another Sonic Boom-type thing that's totally up its own ass with meta-commentary on the most superficial elements of the Sonic franchise ("how does sonic hold all those rings??? have you ever noticed that sonic fans complain a lot???? sanic memes gotta go fast lol amirite????") and hamfisted social commentary.

By that logic there'd be no point in having Knuckles, Amy, the Chaotix, Team Dark, Blaze, Silver, or pretty much any character that's not Sonic, Tails, or Eggman. Have you ever heard of something called a "recurring character"?

Can anyone TL;DR me on why Archie doesn't have Sonic anymore? And are they starting completely fresh with a new canon?

>>94656233
What do you think she will do?

>>94656411
Legal battles with an old writer/artist. Archie stopped publishing Sonic in December 2016, and during SDCC Sega announced that IDW got the license. New series in 2018 is all we know.

SEGA upped the the license rights, and Archie either could not afford them or did not want them. Based on them shuttering so many of their own series I'm guessing it's the later.

Whatever it is, she'll be cute while she does it.

>>94656411
Archie got legally fucked by Penders sometime around 2010~ because they didn't have a proper copy of the documents that could've easily gotten the case laughed out of court. This led to a reboot which continued until early 2016, when another ex-writer (Scott Fulop) decided to take advantage of Archie's gross legal incompetence for his own gain. With Archie in the middle of producing Riverdale and SEGA already breathing down their necks over the Penders case and the godawful writing and divergent (in a bad way) worldbuilding the comic was suffering from throughout the early-to-mid-2000s, Archie decided to cut their losses and drop Sonic altogether.

>>94656477
>SEGA upped the the license rights, and Archie either could not afford them or did not want them. Based on them shuttering so many of their own series I'm guessing it's the later.
Uh, SEGA pulled the license after the latest lawsuit from Scott F. Being Archie's largest moneymaker, and the CEO of Archie investing EVERYTHING in Riverdell, they had to wipe comics since they can't afford them anymore. If SEGA had offered them a renewal on the license, they would have taken it.

Sonic character designs/names get swapped around a lot before they're finalized. Rouge the Bat was at one point named Shadow, and Blaze early on looked a lot more like Shadow (but that bit of concept art was not originally for Shadow, nor was she originally meant to take his place in Adventure 2). Most likely the idea to name her Blaze came after the design was created. Also, you can only have so many characters who are based on other properties. Flickies, Bean, and Honey are pushing it.

SEGA made a shitton of locations and characters but none of the fucking comics ever do much with it in favour of some jack-ass Captain Planet furries having increasingly serious storylines. It's like doing a Mario comic, but it doesn't take place in the Mushroom Kingdom, the only characters are Mario, Toad, and Bowser with the rest of the cast being from the live-action movie and everything is super serious.

Wow, way to out yourself as someone who hasn't read the comics.

Ken had three stints as lead writer.

One for five issues with his buddy.
One for nine issues, four of which were co-scripted to reel his ass back in when he went too wacko.
And finally, one for 25 issues...all of which were stories dictated by the editor that he had to fill in the blanks for. This last one got him so frustrated he quit the company.

Ken was never a real "lead." He was the reliable grunt who shit out bad scripts to fill pages. Karl Bollers wrote more lead stories than he did. Fuck, Mike Gallagher did as well.

The problem with Blaze is you need to justify why she's around. She's a princess from another dimension, she really should have more important stuff to do then help people out in Sonic's dimension. You can come up with a reason why she's in the main dimension, but then you either have to leave that plot thread dangling for too long, or you have to come up with another reason to bring her back later. Eventually either way it starts to feel wrong or lazy.

Nigga are you even quoting the right person?

I said he was never the lead writer in any appreciable sense. Ever. To call him the lead is proof that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. He mostly did backups and side-stories, which is part of why his claims are so goddamn pathetic.

>>94659936
the game never really explains why shes a princess.
i mean she's more analogous to Knuckles role as a guardian which always made me think it was more a title than evidence of her ruling a kingdom

>>94654444

For 10 years?

I'd rather them not bring back the Freedom Fighters or the Archie cast. They've lasted far longer than they really should have and I want to see a proper take based off the game canon.

>>94661007
>game canon
I want the Freedom Fighters to be demoted to occasional appearances, but the tough thing about game canon is that Sonic Team doesn't really care about continuity. The direct of the series has recently implied there are multiple worlds in his attempt to explain things (saying that there are at least 3 we didn't know about before: Classic World (of the Genesis games, apparently Mighty is a part of that world), Human World (where games like Sonic Adventure and 2006 take place), and Sonic's World (Modern Sonic world)). This explanation sounds more like Sonic X than it does any of the games.
http://www.tssznews.com/2017/06/11/iizuka-we-probably-think-youll-see-chaos-again-soon-sonics-world-human-world-is-separate/

I'm interested in if they're going to start a whole new continuity, but I do hope that Ian Flynn comes back to write and Tyson Hesse gets brought on to maybe draw more spin-offs.

>>94661192
thats some death of the author shit man
i mean thats wither complete nonsense or a gross mistranslated, like it directly flies in the face of Gens which had Classic Sonic directly referenced to as a younger version of Modern Sonic and referenced all the mainline games as happening.
and why would this need explanations in the first place? no one was perplexed when Sonic went from fighting Eggman on islands in 1-3&K to a small planetoid in CD to an Urban environment in Adventure
i mean either Iizuka makes shit up on the spot to fill time in interveiws or its a misquote/translation cause i cant really comprehend why he would say something so dumb

>>94660287
> And I legitimately don't know why people are so against Sonic comics being about Sonic the Hedgehog and not some contrived sci-fi soap opera.
Because perpetual 'robot boss of the week' stories would get old quick, doubly so if they treat it as more of a gag comic. A good action comic needs real stakes, a reason to emotionally invest in the characters.

>>94659756
and Adventure 2 had him down perfectly

>>94661354
What Ian was doing actually felt like something you's see in a Sonic video game; evil Egg Bosses and a focus on a world that looks like the one you'd play in the games.

Everything prior WAS just a weird sci-fi Soap Opera that honestly felt like a generic 90s treehugger Saturday afternoon cartoon.

>>94657620
So you basically want Ian's run to keep going.

>Boom's Eggman(he just looks good)

The only reason why the Sonic fandom keeps having such a 'bad rep' is because people keep bringing the badness up even after it's long past almost any drop of relevance. It's pretty much a CalArts-level maymay at this point.

>>94667255
Yeah, I don't really expect them to be dropped. But Boom's personalities are the superior ones, specially Amy's

>>94667274

Not really. I like Boom Amy, but she can still be pretty damn bad in certain episodes, like how Amy has been pretty bad n certain games.

>>94667298
What do you mean? I only watched the first season on Netflix. What's the "Superior Amy" in your opinion?
I like Boom's quirky but still girly Amy

>>94667328
Well, pretty damn bad might be too strong a phrase, but in Season 2, Boom Amy can get pretty bitchy. The show does a decent job handling it at least, but I'd still put her below post-reboot Archie Amy

>>94667328
>>94667390
To interject, I would certainly say that stuff in Boom certainly works while in Boom, but only because it exaggerates stuff for comedy and how it makes fun of itself and the franchise, which appeals to the part of the fans that love taking a shot at the series, but falls apart if they were actually the norm, dropping what people like about the characters.
Outside of it, I don't think they'd translate well or ever go as far as being "superior" than main interpretations of the characters. The personalities of Boom only work in the sense of being made fun of, which is their job, but they don't stand too strong on their own.

A good Amy is one that's positive and emotional, though Archie's Amy that's also more confident and strong is refreshing, too.

>>94657228

>and allows Sonic to flourish as a character instead of being the same generic two-dimensional caricature he'd been recently

Wishful thinking there, if Sega gets too involved with the comic. They were the ones insisting on Sonic being a flat two-dimensional character after the Penders lawsuit.

For Penders to try and go after Sega and/or IDW, get destroyed and lose all his stuff again.

>>94667775
What I like about the Boom characters is that they complete eachother. Watching them in season 1 made me want an actual action/adventure show with them, they could work well as main characters of a Shounen anime. Sonic in this series isn't much different, but I think i'm under the impression he is a superior Sonic thanks to his interactions with the others

You're going to have to get over that one. The name "Robotnik" has been decanonized by Sega. His only identity canonically is "Eggman". All of the old Western localization shit, like Mobius and Robotnik, have been retired and are offlimits.

>>94669368
>Calling Eggman "Robotnik"
Sega.com: Did Sonic have a hand in changing Dr. Robotnik's name to Dr. Eggman for the United States games? If so, was he trying to make fun of his nemesis?
Yuji Naka: To tell the truth, his name has not changed. Robotnik is his real name and Eggman is a common name taken after his shape. Possibly, it may have been Sonic, who uttered this alias for the first time! I feel, though, Sonic uses this name affectionately, rather than trying to make fun of the doctor.

All this reminds me of is that Shadow would've been a better character if he were a woman.

>>94661329
lizuka is first and foremost, a level designer. He cant write or direct for shit. He honestly thinks he knows what's best for sonic.
Including shoving green hill into fucking everything now.
It was fine when it was a bonus level in SA2, and fine when it was the first level in Gens, but now it's in Mania AND Forces.

>>94662771
I'm of the opinion that Sonic is more reckless and rebellious spirit. He's been stated time and again to be chaos incarnate, right? A big crux of his character would be to make him not evil, but revel in the fight and action and adrenaline. He treated the world shattering in Unleashed as more of an annoyance/challenge than anything else.

Making him the righteous action hero of good and light and heaven and all that bullshit is almost purely a western development.

To be fair to Iizuka, he was promoted to the position of head guy of Sonic Team solely because he was the longest-tenured person in ST Naka left.

It's nice to see a series that has enough writing freedom to do what it wants, and it's not particularly worried about pissing off someone. I want to say the French studio has a lot to do with that.

>>94673438
True, but given how Iizuka is now only a supervisor in Forces, chances are he may be slowly getting phased out

It'll happen.

Bebop and Rocksteady were in the same position as Scratch and Grounder in TMNT fandom. Everyone was shitting on them for belonging to the "stupid comedy" phase of an adaption and said they would never be back. Even Laird had expressed his distaste for them.

And then IDW got hold of the license and not only did Bebop and Rocksteady come back, but it was fucking glorious and they got a mini of their own which was amazing.

>>94671917
Marine and Silver just feel bland unnecessary. Shadow is black Sonic who works for the bad guys sometimes because a girl was murdered, I mean, does a comic about a blue hedgehog that goes fast to fight a mad scientist called Dr. Eggman realy need this "Ultimate Lifeform"?

>>94673501
Really? Thank god.

>>94673632
Considering that Sonic has had shit like Chaos, Shadow isn't too surprising. It's just how they handled him that was pretty bad.

>>94673632
Why IS he a bad guy again in Forces anyway

>>94673632

Shadow is Sonic's rival. Eggman is Sonic's arch-enemy, but Shadow is his rival opposite. That's why they keep using him. Sure his backstory is really tonally weird for the series, but that's why they keep putting him in games.

>>94673682
They said that they're gonna explain it in Forces

>>94673671
Chaos is the least bad thing that came out of the "Sonic is fighting eldritch gods now"

That's actually really cute.
>>94673682
In terms of narrative, it's because Sonic needs a bad guy who isn't Robotnik. Knuckles used to be that, when he kept falling for Robotnik's bullshit every other game. They tried it with Nack the Weasel, but he was in games nobody really remembers.

Shadow and Rouge have been rehabilitated, and Omega is basically Gamma again only with less personality (in the games, at least). Shadow has the biggest fanbase, so he gets his wafer-thin character development reset

>realy need this "Ultimate Lifeform"?

More importantly does it need a little girl getting murdered by government agents to provide drama for said life form? I think that's really the more pressing takeaway. A dark Sonic rival is, eh whatever. Especially considering how soft Knuckles got

That would be cool.

- Use characters that aren't just the megadrive characters + shadow
- Use scrapped characters like Honey, Battle kuku, Mighty, etc
- Keep story tone like Adventure 1 or Unleashed
- make sonic's world as psychedelic, vibrant, and dream like as it is in the games and the OVA (Naoto Oshima's influenced)
- Good artist hopefully
- keep cool lore elements a thing (ex. shadow based off hidden palace zone mural of super sonic, egg dragoon built from the same parts of the egg viper, Sky Babylon is Blaze's world Sky Sanctuary)
- no origin story or retelling of sonic games that came out 20 years ago, please
- all new stories, sometimes with tie-ins with recent released games

While some people are saying they want video game only stuff to appear, most people seem to want to see the characters who have been getting lots of panel time (the Freedom Fighters first and foremost) to be downplayed or removed. Scratch and Grounder haven't been a big part of the comics since early on, so I don't think people are sick of them.
On the other hand, they are sort of redundant thanks to these guys.

I'm not saying Ian is bad, but I'm just tired of him. When you're job is "being better than Penders," he didn't have much competition in the 2000s. But I think the franchise needs new blood, and the man cannot write an arc to save his life.

I wouldn't be against that, though it would result in people comparing her and that Kill la Kill character even more. Shadow wouldn't have become as popular as he has if Shadow was a she though. Normally these reflections of characters are the same gender, because you want to focus on the important differences between characters as much as possible, not being distracted by things like gender.
All that would happen if Rogue was named Shadow is the dark, edgy hedgehog from Sonic Adventure 2 would have kept the concept name Terios the Hedgehog.

>>94677697

Orbot and Cubot are okay, but visually very boring.

So what is sonic's origins? Why does he speak

No you dope, I'm pointing out that IDW jumped right on the equivalent for Transformers. Ian is to Sonic as Simon is to Transformers in a number of ways. They'll have him write SOMETHING eventually.

>>94678537
You can stay on topic and respond to the content instead of tone, or you can go there yourself.

>>94677977
game canon is "just because" walking talking animals" and well as small non anthropomorphic animals exist side by side in the games and very little attention is drawn to that fact.

>>94678547
i know i made a joke in that you very brief answer could be easily misconstrued as saying Simon Furman should write for Sonic

>>94677977
He comes from Christmas Island, where he was born. In Sonic's universe, it's an island where it's always Christmas. Sonic is personal friends with Santa Clause. His designers says Sonic's shoes are inspired by Santa's style and color scheme (red and white, gold buckle).
Sonic is unusually fast, and likes going to new places fast. The shoes were a gift from Santa. They never wear out and build up as much traction as Sonic needs to keep going, or stop suddenly.
Sonic wanted to see the world, so Santa gave Sonic a red and white biplane with Sonic's name on it. Sonic then left his home in search of adventure, and he found South Island. This is the secret origin of Sonic the Hedgehog.
He speaks because he has a high IQ, I guess.

I see a lot of Archie concepts coming back. Every IDW comic seems to try and celebrate every aspect of their franchises rather than any singular incarnation

I say that only having read Ghostbusters, Transformers, and TMNT.

>>94678876
I just hope they give Eggman more minions, be them cyborgs like the egg army or robots like the HBH from Mania. Eggman really shined when he had a crew of minions to annoy/intimidate. Minions that aren't just Orbot, Cubot and occasionaly Metal Sonic.

Archie Sonic is DEAD

Sally Acorn? DEAD
Rotor? DEAD
Bunny? DEAD
Antoine? DEAD
Sonic's dad? DEAD
Freedom fighters? DEAD
And Eggman that works with [thing] The [animal] furry abominations? DEAD DEAD DEAD

The HBH as regulars. They're so fun.

You know, people are going to call me WaifuFag but the only archie characters I care about are the females. I say this because the comics handle female characters better, while the games cover the male ones

Eggman as an industrialist, real estate mogul, and businessman. A genius that cares about mankind and advancing human civilization, but all of his methods involve damaging the Earth and its animal creatures. He's a ruthless man that will do anything, and hurt anyone, to achieve his dreams of a nature-free utopian Earth. Eggman is childish and selfish but he has things beyond himself that he cares about. The human race. Ivo Robotnik uses jolly old "Eggman" as a brand. He sells his products and services to the public, making him a very beloved, and very rich man. He uses these riches to fund his secret villainous endeavors. Over the course of the comic, the public may start to turn on him, but Eggman is a deceptive man. He'll always know what to say and do to cover up or justify his monstrous actions, and he'll pay off any authorities that would try to put him away. Make Eggman dark and antagonistic, but still grey.

Sonic as a little guy that just likes to see the world. When he comes across Eggman polluting the Earth and taking homes from animals for monitory game or progress, he opposes him. When he wants to get somewhere he's impatient, but he doesn't mind taking it easy either. He's pretty serious but not a stick in the mud, but he's not too friendly either. He's not a "power of friendship" kind of guy or much of a team player, he'll always try to do things on his own, unless someone else can keep up with him. He cares about people, animals, and nature, and will help out someone in need if they're nearby enough.

Others come and go. Eggman isn't the villain of every issue. Sonic will make new friends, help them, and leave them, find new enemies and thwart them, but in the end it's just about Sonic, Eggman, and planet Earth. Introduce Tails as another main character. Sometimes Tails can catch up, but he frequently gets left behind again.

What are your hopes for IDW's Sonic?

>Get the TMNT quality treatment.
>See some familiar faces from the Archie days ( Spaz, Flynn, Yardley, Stanley, Bates, Bryce Thomas, etc ).
>Get some of the old Archie ( mainly Flynn's pre-reboot stuff ) and Fleetway material reprinted.
>Finish Mega Drive.
>Experimental mini-series, in the vein of Stokoe's Godzilla in Hell and Scioli's Transformers vs. G,I.Joe

Your fears?

>The comic to become just a promotional piece with no substance.
>They get an idealogue/SJW to write the comic.
>Penders in some extent will fuck the comic up legally.
