Have you noticed how the vast majority of Archie Sonic villains are some form of Scientist?

>>25578002 not EXTREME enough for them
>>25578000 1000 years? I thought it was 400
actually wait, wasn't it "16 generations" according to Locke?
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578086 hey remember the endless desert in Sandopolis zone?
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY

>>25578185 Knuckles fails to point out that Archimedies blatantly lied to him about his powers last issue
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578197 ok yeah, so why couldn't they fight caterkillers?
>>25578225 why does this explanation make the plan seem really stupid?
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578249 hm...I wonder if Ian will ever go into how the Fire Ants saved echidnas beforehand?
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578276 mysterious training called on account of power hungry chaos god
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578299 I'm not sure how Dimitri as Enerjak would have been the most feared menace in recorded history. when they are living under the rule of a super genius who can turn you into a robot slave with the push of a button and rules 90% of the world.
What did Dimitri do? He had a tower fall on his head.
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578324 NEKRON?
OH CRAP we're in trouble!
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578343 One of our masterbotters claimed this was the funniest moment in Sonic history.
Also someone suggested we compile a countdown of the funniest moments of the comic. What say you, /co/?
SS
>>25578324 Dimitri has been kind of a pansy-ass lately anyway
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578379 it takes awhile for him to build stuff, doesn't it?
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578384 You think so? I thought he was at his best when he was a floating head who wanted to be a good leader and redeem himself.
of course, that doesn't mean I wouldn't love to see him go "surprise, fool!" and take over Angel Island once Knuckles hooks him up to Haven
>>25578399 you know, this style of presentation with Dimitri doing something every panel is getting annoying
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578454 You remember an Oasis in Sandopolis Zone?
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578471 Is it me, or is all of this desert wandering now just a bunch of padding?
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578484 It took Dimitri five pages to make one tower and now he has a whole city in front of him?
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578512 nothing spectacular in the fan-art department today
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578527 it's always robots with these people. Event he Prelates are robots
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578549 I can't help but think the Winkie chant was Mike K's idea.
whatever happened to Mike K?
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578568 IT"S CRUSH TIME!
SS
>>25578379 Well, on the evil scale he's toned it down a great deal. The floating head with tentacle/dreads is awesome though.
>>25578454 One of the funniest moments in the KTE comic had to be when Knuckles went to his dad for relationship advice (Issue 26 I think)
He asks why girls and boys should be together and Locke ends up spitting hot coffee all over the place. It's so apaprent that Knuckles has no idea how to interact with girls, make me laugh every time I read it.

isn't this the issue knucks tries to eat Archie, that panel made me laugh
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578588 Asking his dad for relationship advice is also kinda funny. "Hey dad, how are babies formed?"
"Through years of genetic experimentation and chaos emerald radiation baths on newly-hatched eggs"

>>25578639 see
>>25578379 >>25578646 Cue one of the many "the heroes have been mind-controlled!" fights of this series

>>25578725 Now here's a thought: why is Enerjak so concerned with earthly rule? Shouldn't he try to ascend to a higher plane of power or something? Maybe Ian will get into this soon?

I was just being all nostalgic about these comics after I saw the reboot in my local comic shop. My dad used to take me out every weekend (my parents were divorced, so my dad spoiled me a bit when he got to see me) and take me comic book shopping. Like every child of the 90s, I FUCKING LOVED Sonic the Hedgehog. I had pajamas, video tapes, games, ect. So it was natural that I read the comic series too. My dad is like an old gear head/burn out punk, so to see his son obsess over something that wasn't one of his interests and embrace it is one of the reasons I love my dad so much. We'd spend hours together, Him reading his old fan 'zines, me sprawled on the floor, surrounded with Sonic comics. It ended up with us just playing Sega Genesis (GOLDEN AXE FTW)

>>25578760 I'm glad I can provide a bit of nostalgia. If you'd like to be continually nostalgia'd, I suggest you come on /co/ around 12 EDT every monday through Wednesday. THis is a regular thread that I do. I'm glad I can provide some rekindling of warm memories
>reboot there's no reboot. What are you talking about?
SS
>>25578803 Isn't issue 225 supposed to be some sort of reboot? Like a 'getting back to his roots' issue for Sonic?
Shinginta !kC8o/hZWX2
>>25578853 Yes and no. 225-29 is not going to be something that's currently main continuity. It's a bit of "Now for something completely different" where Ian's probably testing the waters for merging Sonic game canon and Archie's canon for an origin story. Even if it's well-recieved all that likely means is some kind of retcon of how everyone met, not actually a series reboot.
Anonymous
>>25578803 Is pretty cool since there's not many threads about the sonic comics. I just got up to date on the series that I started at ground "0" six months or so back. It's been quite a ride for sonic & knux these past 18 years, though there can be times when writers tend to "tread on each others toes" so to speak
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25578885 Here's my theory:
Issue 225: Eggman hits some kind of "Reality Scrambler Button" that changes the world to that of the games
226-8: Sonic plays through the plots of Sonic 1-3&K
229: Sonic does the final battle against the Death Egg and Doomsday Zone and all that, destroying it
230: With the Death Egg destroyed, the world returns to normal

>>25578803 I'll try and remember that. I just got internet at my new house so I'm still swimming in a sea of new memes and new faces on the boards I regular.
Also, reboot.

>>25578923 Ian Flynn says that it's not a complete reboot. They have been working on fixing the continuity for so long that a reboot would be ridiculous, effectively ruining Ian's entire 5-year run.
also, what?

>>25578912 My theory's about the same, except I don't think the Death Egg will be destroyed so soon. If it's a Sonic 1 remake, remember that the Death Egg doesn't exist yet; it wasn't until 2 that we saw it launch.
Mayor Biuliani !!6Xwn0AridPY
>>25579005 Issue 227's cover is based on Sonic 2, which makes me think it's adapting the whole "Death Egg Saga"

>>25579128 Eggman Nega has been shown to be collecting the Sol Emeralds, so having Blaze there makes perfect sense.
Shinginta !kC8o/hZWX2
>>25579128 >>25579143 That and she's basically that dimension's odd fusion of Sonic and Knuckles. She's the dimension's hero and has a super-form she uses to defeat Eggman Nega, but she's also the Guardian of her emeralds, too. Look at her as someone who shares Sonic's role in that world.

That video reminds me of the time I walked in on my (now Ex) boyfriend fapping to the all girls super special. That one page where Sally steps out of the source, he was excited by all the 'orange goo.'

>>25579183 I actually like that about Blaze and her world, it is simular to Sonic's world but diffrent at the same time. The parallels are not quite as obvious except maybe Marine being the mirror oposite of Cream. I just hope that Sonic Genisis does the comic good and not screw things up now that Ian is taken that huge mess and sculpted it into something amazing. Seriously the fact he can get me excited about that Universe where Knuckles was Enerjack we first saw in 101 to 109 is amazing

>>25579128 Blaze is about the only 'new friend' in the recent games that isn't hated by a large portion of the fanbase.
And Eggman Nega ain't half bad- he's basically Eggman but completely crazy.

I still think this franchise is beyond redemption. Sega seems to be just giving up on getting the 3D gameplay finally right and just being as blatantly desperate as possible to cash in on nostalgia.
Shinginta !kC8o/hZWX2
>>25579468 That's probably because Blaze knows when to shut up and do work. A lot of the fanbase views Shadow as angstier than he actually is, but he's just about the only character aside from Blaze who really has a "let's get down to business" attitude. She's basically Shadow without the drama.
Plus it's fairly new in the franchise that we get a competent female character who isn't about being female. Blaze, for all intents and purposes, could have been a dude. Amy's role is "the girl," Rouge's role is "the girl," Blaze's role is "I'm here to save my fucking world. Get out of my way."

>>25579518 You forget about how that one game script described her as being self-conscious about having a flat chest. (I think it was Sonic 06)
I wish I had a copy of that, it would be funny to read
Shinginta !kC8o/hZWX2
>>25579498 But Colors was good. Unleashed was good
. No matter how right or wrong they get the Generations Classic gameplay, I'm excited to be able to play old levels with the Colors-gameplay Sonic, so I think they at least succeeded on pumping out good modern Sonic games, even if their rehashes and cash-ins on nostalgia suck. Anonymous

>>25579581 With Colours, there was so much shit on the screen that I couldn't tell where Sonic was on the screen half the time. We don't need these huge and intricate (and not interactive) backgrounds for a good game.

I know I talk about this every time this debate comes up, but a long overlooked and good Sonic game was Rivels for PSP (not the second one, that sucked). The plot was lite and really more just a loose device to move the characters from one zone to the next. The graphics were 3D but the gameplay was 2D platformer with the 3D just being eye candy. it had multipal paths to choose from as you work from start to finish and I thought the powers to mess with your opponant were fun. Also I don't know why but I always find it fun to play as the characters in diffrent outfits

I disliked the carnival theme to Colors [Wisp World was my favorite], which is one of the reasons I'll love the worlds in Generations; a return to classic elemental levels from the Genesis games, and the levels I liked from SA, SA2, etc.
