Damn, ever sicne SEGA told Archie they needed to make Metal less of a jobber they sure took it to ehart.
I love when they draw hand show him as basically a terminator.
What a terrible comic, They're looking for any flimsy ass excuse they can find to make Sonic's useless friends useful
>>356664649
Why can't the games ever seem this fun?

I like the motion blurs(is that what they're called?) in this page.
>>356665719

>>356666027
>>356665635
N-nani?!
>>356666260
And that's it.
A few months to go until the thrilling conclusion
They really gotta do a standalone installment in the series with Genesis era Sonic & pals that isn't some shitty meet-you-half-way which also includes gay af animu legs Sonic - both Adventure series and Boom iterations.

SEGA's really been on their A-game lately with Sonic.
>>356665665
I still to this day consider his Sonic's Big Fat Adventure one of the best webcomics I've ever read.
>>356667259
It is indeed.
Makes me wonder if Sega will use the same kind of art for Sonic Mania.

Since I don't think this question deserves it's own thread I thought I'd ask it here.
For those of you who've played sonic utopia, did the colors destroy your eyes like they did to mine, or is it just me?
>>356668926
>>356668978
They're kind of slightly oversaturated but not really in an eye-popping kind of way. Is your monitor's brightness all the way up or something?
>>356669029
>>356669134
>>356669120
Not really, I don't have this problem with any other game.
I'll try messing with the brightness though and see if it helps
>>356669218
Thanks, OP. I went back to the first issue to catch up, classic Amy is so cute.
>>356668926
It's hilarious yet charming how the guy that made this comic is now a lead artist of the Sonic comics.
>>356669578
Does he do anything outside this mini?
He should, though. It should be an ongoing.
>tfw we could have had a Mario Archie comic with Ian Flynn as the head writer
I shudder to think about what would have happened if Penders got his grubby hands on it.
>>356664842
Godamn Metal is cool

Goddamn it, why is Nintendo so stupidly overprotective?
>>356669916
And I guess this scene still happens, just replace Sonic and Sally with Mario and Peach.
>>356669806
If only Nintendo wasn't such a faggot company that was overprotective over their "muh brand" and we could have gotten this.
For fuck sake it's been HOW long since the Super Mario comics and they're only NOW being sold as a graphic novel/manga now?
Fuck you Nintendo.
>>356669984

>>356670090
>For fuck sake it's been HOW long since the Super Mario comics and they're only NOW being sold as a graphic novel/manga now?
23 years.
Although if you wanna get anal, its a reprint of a TPB they originally released in 1999.
>>356669806
God damn, this would be amazing, especially if they included Wario, DK, and their entire entourage.
>>356670248
Shit, could you imagine this scene with Mario in it?
>>356670994
No, but I could imagine it with Waluigi.
>>356664953
>tails' face on that last panel
Why so late? I would have killed for a comic like this when I was 11
>>356670994
No, can't imagine it since Penders is gone for good
>>356671265
>Penders is gone for good
Warms my heart.
>>356671106
What would Waluigi be like written by Penders?
>>356671450
there would be an entire race of Waluigi's with minimal differences than the actual Waluigi

You niggers don't know shit about Metal Sonic until you've read The Brotherhood of Metallix
>>356664842
why does metal insist on kidnapping Amy anyway
>>356670350Yours killed mine.
>>356675557
Either the metallix brotherhood was intentionally built shitty or the laws of conservation of ninjutsu just kicked metal sonic in the ass hard.
>>356675863
Okay it's definitely conservation of Ninjutsu.

>It's just a giant Egg-Carton
Snrk
What's with these six page comics? Are they part of a magazine or something?
>>356676227
STC featured multiple 7 page strips in each issue. The "main" one followed Sonic while the others focused on other Sonic characters on their own adventures or even other SEGA IP

holy shit a thirsty amy joke that made me laugh.
>>356669984
What adaptions are we talking here? Like long arcs or short arcs, like that Super Mario-Kun Manga had done, or arcs with some elements from both series?
>>356677113
Tails can only carry sonic a certain height and distance, This was to get the extra distance so then tails could carry him the rest!
>>356663585
In Chile piko means dick
>>356680953
okay but then how do the other 2 get up there if he can only carry them so far?
>>356681040
Tails and Knux can get up on their own, Im sure tails could get amy up by using knux as a resting platform, Just the original aim was to get sonic up there quick I guess!
>>356680337
I think he might just mean the characterizations.
>>356681040
Actually maybe Tails can fly longer with Amy as shes shorter than sonic and Knux? Its nice that they thought about it a little! It was always a pain in the ass getting the top route in hydrocity using 2 pads in Sonic3

After the Mario bros. movie can you blame them but then again the Star Fox comic and F-zero are great I'd say they should gave Archie a chance to print one issue and see how it goes from there.
>>356670512
Starts off as a Mario comic slowly creating spin off series for DK and Wario for the Wario series and DK country franchise. Think about it a Wario comic where he's an anti-hero constantly getting in tombs and castles raiding them of their treasures and being a jerk to boot plus all the Captain Syrup and on his down time he hangs in Diamond city as a slice of life comic.
>>356682787
>Wario as the Lupin
>Syrup as the Fujiko
I need this
>>356683730
They add a goody two shoes trying to stop Wario every issue and failing like the inspector.
>>356682787
Totally would've been awesome
>>356688278
I want Mario comic where almost everything is canon, just like how Archie Sonic did it
>>356689525
Probably bait, but next to nothing in Archie Sonic is canon. Just the bits that are straight from the games. And even those are mostly tweaked so they fit into other events from other games.
>>356689814
That wasn't bait, but yeah, that's what I mean by that
>>356690220
Mario probably has less canon to work from, since so many games are just copy-paste the plot of Bowser kidnapping Peach. But I would enjoy adaptations of the RPG's.
>>356690338
>But I would enjoy adaptations of the RPG's
Same, but not many games always have that same plot, at least when ignoring most main games. And as true that Mario don't really have a canon, the comics don't have to be over-arching arcs. They could be four-issues arcs featuring things that you've seen from Main to Spin-off games with some original stories
>>356690338
Mario doesn't even have any canon, so the sky's the limit with him. Although he'd probably work best as a comedy book, or something like Sonic Overdrive where it's not taken seriously.
>>356690893
Honestly, I just want more Super Mario Adventures comics, rather than an Archie adaptation.
>>356691098
Mario has as much of a canon as Sonic does. In that all the games have plots that are made to stand alone.
>>356691212
I believed he meant that the Mario continuity doesn't have much games that made references or mentions about previous games' plots, events, or characters.
>>356665635
>speeds by behind you
tch nothing...personal...kid
>>356691695
And my point is neither does Sonic. Think about it, how many Sonic games reference the past games at all? Even Sonic Adventure 2 only references Chaos in the weird bloby robots in space. And chao I guess.
The only consistency is that new cast members show up, but their origins are never important.
>>356691152
I'm fine with that. I loved those comics, along with the mini comics when I first read them. Honestly, I mostly want an Archie adaption just so I can see some recurring characters such as Daisy and Waluigi get some recognition and old familiar faces like Wart, Tatanga, Captain Syrup, Pauline, Wanda, Parakarry, Bow, General Guy, Kylie, Goombella, Vivian, Smithy? Cackletta? Grubba? Geno? Bleck?
>>356692168
Sonic Battle, Sonic Heroes, Shadow had made a lot of references
>>356692337
Exceptions more than anything. Even 06 ditched established lore like Blaze's origin.
>>356668978
Not as much as I thought it would. Mayhaps you need to adjust the colors on your monitor?
>>356692219
No please, most of these characters story have already been told. Any more appearance and they get over saturated.
>>356693195
Right, because Bowser all day every day is not oversaturation.
>>356693195
If we're talking about how Archie would do it, which is a monthly comic divided into 4-part stories (easier to reprint as trades) then all those characters would have maybe one appearance every 5 years or so, in a role that makes sense for their character and progresses the story without overshadowing Mario and the other major characters..
someone crop some reaction images this is a goldmine
>>356693195
Sure, most since they are either dead or,in Geno and Bleck's case,really have no reasons to appear again, those other characters can make an appearance as supporting characters or other villains who has no association with Bowser. Kind of like what >>356693307 said. That or making some adaptions based on one of those games
>>356694064
Cropping is the easiest shit in the world. Just catch the ones you want yourself.
>>356694064
>>356693291
I don't know what you mean but from you're complaining about doesn't it prove my point?
>>356693307
What purpose does seeing characters like Bleck in his undies serve? We already saw his rise, fall, and redemption in his own game. Just giving them a casual appearance would ruin what weight they had. If you're making a series actually trying to make good, more interesting stories is better than fanservice for nerds.
>>356694562
>from you're complaining about doesn't it prove my point?
I would think that it proves MY point that one villain featured almost exclusively year in and year out is much more tiring than a host of different characters.
>>356694663
So why not make new characters instead of rehashing obscure ones?
>>356694940
Because the comics hold no sway over games. It's better to take from canon and adapt it than go on tangents about irrelevant shit no one knows.
That said, some original characters would be fine in moderation.
>>356695029
>Because the comics hold no sway over games.
Why does that hold importance? Are you honestly complaining that Nintendo would never adapt Ian runs?
>>356695445
That wasn't really the point, no. I'm saying fans care less if there's not a solid link to something.
Are you saying you think an original character invented on the spot would appeal to audiences as much as a classic character from the series?
>>356694562
>What purpose does seeing characters like Bleck in his undies serve?
I was more referring to story adaptions like how they did with Sonic Unleashed, Sonic the Fighters, and the upcoming Lost World in a way. But I'm not asking for characters who are unlikely to appear such as Bleck or Geno. I'm asking characters who look like they're free appear whatever they want with nothing holding them back like Kylie or Syrup
>>356675056
what the fuck? is that porky pig and bugs bunny?
That was well worth waiting till November for. This comic gets the style of classic Sonic down really, really well and the art is wonderful. Can't wait for the final chapter.
>The "steel donut" in the off-panel
>>356695540
It's Super Mario, that's the link. I'm saying Ian should do more than "Hey guies remember this from that thing you all know so much". Pointless references cannot save a comic book which is why Archie's Megaman went down under and the second crossover event so poor.
>>356695561
I don't see a problem with that but I would prefer more original stories than read something everybody already experience.
>>356663036
Does it need to be a snowman?
>>356696691
Megaman tanked because Archie couldn't stop circlejerking over that shitty human OC.Quake Woman was alright.
>>356696691
>Pointless references cannot save a comic book which is why Archie's Megaman went down under and the second crossover event so poor.
I never read the MM comics, but is that really the reason why it was canned?
>>356697530
the human OCs were fine for the most part, and then the writing went downhill. it was mostly the crossover fuckery that screwed their shit up

It's the Nipples the Enchilada guy surprisingly.
>>356698887
It's comic based on a video game, what else?
Mega Man was dropped along with Boom (which Ian said was neither due to sales nor Capcom) because Archie fucked up financially.
>>356666260
this is the boxer hockey guy, he knows his internet.

this would have been amazing.
The new people in Archie would never stray from the mario lore, would even take it in the ass from nintendo.
>>356698463

>>356699653
I want to see their take on any of the Nintendo IPs
>>356698759
I like how the Boxer Hockey dude is capable at writing Amy as not an annoying stalker but a girl who has a crush.
>>356699203
it's sonic, he's video games, especially sonic cd. deal with it homes.
>>356699779
Donkey Kong would be amazing too.
However I don't see them doing fire emblem or any thing with a darker tone very well. Just focus on lighter IPs.

it's pretty much the Advance series, but with more team work. Megadrive is so good.
