As a guy who was more into AoStH and not really into the comics that much. I feel somewhat saddened by this, but I have to say, I manage to deal with no AoStH. The memories won't go away, we can still draw and talk about the characters and they won't get ruined by stagnation over time.

After a few months we'll find new hobbies and series to follow. Things end, it's sad, but we can move forward to enjoy new things.

Not to mention, it means Ian can really spill the dirt on everything without SEGA or Archie holding his tongue. Not to mention that it's very possible we'll get a new comic, and maybe even get to see the SatAM characters return, other franchises have embraced their sillier past.

Gotta say, I'm happy I didn't get very invested in the reboot like I did in the pre-reboot. Even if the comic survives, the past year has had constant problems and worry over the comic's state and well-being, I don't think I could go through all that anymore.

>>165868553
When is /v/ not a mess?

>>165868713
This won't stop people from daydreaming about Amy, or Rouge, or Cream.

>>165868670
>>165868752
See? You can't even muster up a simple defense because she has no personality.

>>165868713
This. And put the focus back where it belongs: on Sonic and Eggman, with no shitty friends to upstage the main character

>>165868670
Not him, but post-reboot her and Sally were worst and second-worst when it came to have an actual established character. Nicole was basically "Sally's imaginary friend" and that's about it, and anything even slightly interesting about her was either ignored completely or barely touched on. Ian probably intended to develop both over time, but it resulted in both being pretty bland and irrelevant.

Guess he's back. Remember to report him and his samefagging.

>>165868903
Make that CLASSIC Sonic and CLASSIC Eggman. Like it's supposed to be.

165868903
Remember folks. Report this guy.

>>165868850
Better than daydreaming and bitching about however-the-fuck-I-don't-care many waifus that the comic has/had. I'm not even a classicfag; largely-hated characters like Shadow and Silver and whatnot can be good characters if written properly. Sonic isn't like Metal Gear where you can cut out most of the interactive stuff and still tell a story; there needs to be a game behind the plot to make it truly compelling.

>People are actually sad about the shitty comics ending
>People actually care about Sonic's devient art looking friends

God, damn, no wonder the series was in hell for a good 10 years, appealing to fuckers like you was the wrong choice. I'm glad Sega's finally wising up. We only really need Sonic,Eggman,his robots and Tails. Knuckles is overrated and Amy is annoying, I'll accept Metal Sonic back so long as he sticks to the CD design and doesn't fucking talk.

>>165868634
Nah, she's still pretty good.

>>165868634
I really didn't like what that arc did with her character. I thought Nicole had a really interesting and unique thing going on, starting out as a purely soulless machine, and gradually developing a personality through interactions with others. It said a lot about how formative good friendships can be, and also about, for lack of a better term, "discrimination", against machines like Nicole. "It can't think it's just a computer", "it can't feel it's just a computer", "it can't be your friend it's just a computer", "it can't be a hero it's just a computer", etc. Suddenly saying that she is actually based on an organic being's brain just fucking ruins all that.

You're still objectively wrong about her being bad though.

Fun fact: The only outsider should be Sticks.

I dare anyone to attempt to prove me wrong.

>>165869195
Sonic Battle basically did Nicole's primary character arc better than the comic ever did, in only a single game.

>>165869237

>>165869286
No fair bringing Battle in, it's one of the best pieces of storytelling in Sonic, if not the best.

>>165869385
Fun fact: this series should feature absolutely no one. It should be only about beatifull landscapes.

>>165869317
Sally is fucking shit.

>>165869354
>slowly

That's the issue. Her story arc moves along so fast that we don't even see her before she's just another character. We don't know why she wants to gain sentience, we don't see her being pure AI, she's just a dumb cat sleeping in a digital box.

Someone brought up Emerl, that's a great comparison. We see the events that turn him from a stone-cold machine into bro of the century. Same with the Metal Sonic/Shard story.

Even if the comic is kill I don't think this is the end of Sonic comics. I can totally see them returning under another publisher, but we will probably lose the FF.

I can't fault Sega for making good on their promise. All the problems this comic has faced stem from either Archie' s greed or incompetence. If it does turn out Sega pulled the license I hope they let someone pick up. Now would be the time for anyone interested anyway.

SEGA pulling the license is the only theory that makes sense to me.

>>165870847

It's a fine enough theory that SEGA made the decisions based on Archie's past mistakes, but it doesn't change the fact that the decision was not made internally at Archie. Archie has already paid out of pocket for more issues that will now never see print which is a 100% net loss for them.

If people used their fucking brains for a second they could put it together that it wasn't Archie's decision to cancel the books.

What was the kickstarter thing about?

>>165870516
Riverdale is a vaguely Archie-themed TV show coming to CW. It's a big deal for Archie since this is their biggest name project in years, and the company's titular comics are mostly culturally irrelevant now. Sonic makes them most of their money, but they've said they'd rather cancel all their licensed books than let an Archie book go (This is why Megaman and Boom were cancelled.)

Some people think Archie may be doubling down on Riverdale and cancelling Sonic, so we want it to fail and tank the company.

>>165871603
All of them.

>>165869127
This. Cut out Amy though, she's annoying

>>165871683

>>165871319

>>165871640
Archie wanted to get "A-listers" to write their... Archie characters, probably took the thing for granted.

Controversy arose because it's a company using crowdfunding and they had to pull the plug but the comics were seemingly already all paid for so it's way safe to assume they came away from it with a big loss, and more shady, possible legal work tossed in their way.

Sure enough had every last site that cared go "is this even legal, and barring that, ethical" but sure enough counts as trouble.

>>165871683
Tails too. Sonic doesn't need some fucking stupid-ass sidekick.

Why such a lust for Archie? Sure it's the name of the company but how much does that actually matter when it doesn't fucking work.

>>165871921
Irrelevant. Still a money maker.

If IDW picked it up they could do what they did for Transformers- they hired Simon Furman and let him continue the Marvel comics stories, and OC guys like Jhiaxus are still around.

Plus we could get Transformers and Sonic crossover would would be ace.

>>165871846
Wow... thats a new layer of stupid for them.

>>165871327
I'm pretty sure the artist's have an idea but aren't completely confident. They all seem to be on ice about it. They're obviously aware of things shifting (subs being pulled, production ceasing on the FCBD issue) but their "I'm unable to speak about it"-esque statements would be worded differently if they actually knew the answer.

Besides. These businesses are structured to leave all lower-level employees in the dark until the very last moments. Deals like this are convoluted and take time, and they gain nothing by alerting the staff until they are 100% sure.

Commission your favorite sonic artists and give them words of encouragement, because they only thing they know is that they aren't getting a paycheck until this is sorted out.

Because it's the company's legacy. I don't blame them for being protective of him, but they need to realize that for the better part of 30 years people have thought of them as the Sonic company.

>>165872185
Sally is owned by Sega, therefore an IDW Sonic comic could use her.

We could get an official Sally x Optimus teamup.

>>165872185
If it's like Transformers then any character created for the brand would belong to them. So IDW doesn't have Circut Breaker or Death's Head but they've got Jhiaxus and presumably Scrounge.

No, Lost World is.

Feels bad to be the only one who doesn't like GENESIS, Megadrive and all this "back to the roots" bullshit. IMO the expansive setting and cast is what made the Sonic comic interesting, they took a concept and ran with it, developing it for years.

Explain to me the appeal of reading a comic about Sonic jumping on things. And making snappy remarks. Oh and Green Hill zone. Because apparently that was the greatest level of all time.

I've said this before But I want the deadly six to be a tertiary threat to sonic.

Sonic wants freedom
Eggman wants to rule the world
Deadly 6 just want to watch the world burn.

So that in a way the oppose both Sonic and Eggman and add in another threat that can do things like steal chaos emerald and destroy eggman's robots.

Beyond that I think I want them to be written a bit less obvious. I get that they're all effectively stereotypes but I'd like just a bit more personality than "I'm fat, I'm depressed, I'm old, I'm vapid"

Mega Drive was good because it was a brand new story, just with classic characters. The other two were retellings of shit we already experienced in the actual games. Why bother reading them when I can just play the games again right now? Meanwhile, Mega Drive has been good enough that people legitimately want a new classic-style game based on it.

Marvel had a series on Hellcat, and in one issue they got some online artist to do the art.

This one issue is seen floating around a lot like it defines the whole comic, but it's just the one issue. As someone who has read the first 10 issues or so I can say that it is not usually this bad, but never much better. As far as the art goes. Dialogue here is pretty consistent with the majority of the series.

Unleashed had the best Sonic model.

This is the problem with cartoony characters. Weird proportions and all may look fine in 2D or low poly, but just look wrong one way or another when made "realistic". Even making everything else look "realistic" will make the characters look out of place.

What if Sonic moves to Marvel and its a sequel to the Archie series instead of a reboot?

>>165875620
Playing the waiting game mostly.

Wait to see if Archie addresses it in some form. If they are brought back, with talk of the comic ending spreading like wildfire the last 4 days, they will need to say something if everything is fine.

See if any of the staff address it at some point. Not likely, but still give it a shot.

Subscribers should keep an eye out for emails with more info. Mega Man subscribers got them for their ""haitus""

Look for Archie's April solicitations and see if Sonic is apart of them. Them being there could be a good sign, but them not being there would not be one.

Sonic can look so vicious yet so cute when exposing his sharp teeth like that.

>>165876565
I've wondered about this because it seems to affect anything Sonic.

I think its something about how Sonic was created to be the COOLEST GUY AROUND. better than Nintendo and all that. Which of course hasn't been the case for a long time now.

So I think there's a lot of people still working on Sonic that have huge egos and nothing to show for it. It's why shit hits the fan everytime.

>>165875871
It just looks weird that his belly is furred, but his muzzle and arms are not. Also, have you seen how Crash looks in the remake?

>>165877818
Nah. It was a licensed comic that ended up sticking around longer than anyone expected. As a result it was handled poorly for a majority of its lifetime since it was originally just supposed to be a quick cash grab. On the game side people just love to see people fail so they take any chance they can get to masturbate over a game being made poorly or not doing well. Combined with the pessimistic culture of gamers today, and you got a recipe for drama.

The thing is Crash is another case of a character that can be upgraded easier than Sonic because of his fur shaders, that and the fact that he's been gone for so long that it makes the upgrade a bigger leap.
All Sonic can do is just drop a few more polygons on his model.

>>165875871
See this sorta bugs me because it makes it look like sonic is all hair. Even though those are canonically quills so they should seem a little sharper instead of soft and hair like.


That said this is a problem with a lot of the modern games how they make his quills flow like hair at times.

>IDW wouldn't use Sally, she didn't even appear in Sonic Generations, the only good 3D Sonic game.

IIRC, that's because of some weird legal crap between Sega of America and Sega of Japan. Apparently, SoA owns the comic and cartoon characters (the Pendering notwithstanding), but since they don't do a damn thing with the Sonic games beyond localization, they can't put them in the games. SoJ makes the Sonic games, but they don't own the comic and cartoon characters (with the exception of Sticks the Badger, hence why she was able to get a Sonic Channel profile, and a playable appearance in both Sonic Runners and Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games), so they can't put them in the games either.

She should've stayed a soulless machine, perhaps being the straight man of the group (When Antoine wasn't that and even then he could be fairly comedic)

But she's not based on an organic being's brain, just her traits and predispositions.

I think it'd be cool if she tried to act organic, but it was a lot more obvious she didn't know a lot. Like she understands eating, but she doesn't really get why people enjoy cooking.

If she looked at stars all she'd see is the facts about stars and can't understand "beautiful" or why stars are "beautiful"

Legal anon here. That's in line with what I'm thinking.

They're probably up for renewal with Sega and this whole Fulop mess has been happening.

The judge will rule on the motions to dismiss within the next month. They're probably negotiating with Archie and whatever the judge rules will determine what Archie's cut will look like or if there will be a comic at all.

This is the first substantive ruling that'll come from the court, so they're probably waiting to see what the judge thinks of the arguments and assess their chances from there.

Essnetially, Licensing is either going to take a big stick to Archie, a little stick to Archie, no stick to Archie, or just kill the comic outright.

And now for the Loss edit!

>>165875751
How did you last 10 issues? I lasted like 6 before I just couldn't take it anymore. Kate Leth getting her hands on Sonic is my personal nightmare, right next to Penders regaining writing duties
>>165886674
Someone show this man Bendis' shit. Bendis repeats panels all the fucking time. In fact, anyone got the "Bobby, you're gay" page on hand, I dont'.
>>165886673
Nope.

>>165886409
For fuck sake. Remember when comics were fun?? We don't, have some sjw shit.

>>165886893
There's still some fun comics, they're just mostly at DC. Any fun comic Marvel puts out (Like anything by Ewing) will inevitably just be sucked into the million events they do (We're in the middle of one right now, another one is starting soon during the current event, and then there's another hero vs hero event on the horizon)

>>165886674

Anon come on now, you can clearly see the eyes have changed. That is a clear indication of months worth of artistic effort, only 5 panels of same. They surely aren't bad because of this right? CTRL+C CTRL+V

>>165886893
That's Marvels new shtick.
Making a new character is too hard so just gender swap a current one and give it to some tumblr upstart who'll work for cheap.

This could be Sonic one day.

>>165887220
Don't forget the events anon. And the editors. If you thought Kaminski was bad you ain't see shit. Hell, our old friend Gabrie has/had a job at Marvel

>>165887101
>>165887220

I will never understand why people read anything in comic that doesn't have a fuck-long history and a strong writer that can stand on their own.

Truly.

>>165887401

Kaminski works on Teen Titans now.

>>165887516
Okay, this is the edit, right?

>>165887456
Because someone like Bendis will come along and assfuck that continuity hard. Sonic is a very, VERY lucky comic in that it can have a consistent direction for so long. Most comics you're lucky to have the same writer for a year or two
>>165887565
Honestly I'm not surprised. That entire franchise is cursed
>>165887583
Oh anon, you're so naive

>>165887516
This better be a meme.

>>165887583
Anon, I....

>>165887583
I-Im sorry anon, but...

>>165887627
>>165887675
It's a reprint that was edited by Marvel?
[spoilers]And people wonder why I like the movies[/spoilers]

>>165887669
Well, it became a meme, if that's what you're asking.

>>165887812
Nope, the original comic

>>165887946
But I thought SJW's liked gay people.

>>165887812
Just highlight and ctrl/s to spoiler bro

Disney saw value in this company?

Ok one thing about that chart bothers me. It's doesn't have a explanation about Eggman being in lost world if he was trapped in the void at the ending of generations.

>>165888018
thanks bro

>>165888064
He finally found that door.

>>165888046
Disney saw value in the IPs for movies and merchandise. They couldn't give two shits about the actual comics, they exist only so they can retain the trademarks.

>>165888046
For the movies, not the comics

>>165888013
They're not particularly thrilled with any Middle Eastern country.

>>165888046
They saw value in the movies. If the first Iron Man movie had flopped hard enough to prevent Marvel Studios from making any more movies, Marvel would still be its own company or even, dare I say, dead.

>>165888163
Sure i go with that

>>165886386
I think. There were like a thousand different versions.

>>165888064
They finally found that door over there.
