How far along was Mega Drive #3?

I think it was coming out within weeks before the bad news happened.

Anyway been enjoying the series, so I hope it continues.

Amazon currently has listings for at least two upcoming issues at the moment so I assume things are continuing at least. But we’ll see I guess (Sonic comics have a history of being abruptly cancelled after all, even Fleetway stopped after the Sonic Adventure arc and went into reruns for a bit before going away entirely)

Tyson had fully drawn and inked it, and colorist Matt Herms got the news that the book was canceled right before he was gonna start working on it

Lanolin is getting a lot of hate lately, which I find unfortunate

She was found guilty for assault and drug trafficking.

I think it's probably because she yelled at Silver and Whisper (and kicked Silver off the team) for calling Mimic Duo a traitor. I mean, they're right, but she doesn't know that!

She's a "mean" (serious) lady, which doesn't sit well with a lot of people for a lot of reasons. Most of them not very good.

Dr. Eggman is still pretty great, isn't he? :allears:

Someone posted the page from the latest issue where she kicks Sonic, Tails and Amy out of the race for causing an accident (which was caused by sabotage, but she doesn't know that), and there were people talking about how awful she is for doing so. From one page without full context, even though even with just that page it's obvious she's a race official and is kicking the gang out for apparently endangering others.

Sonic fans are insane.
There's some now trying to push the narrative that Frontiers is a worse game than Sonic 06, or even worse saying that 06 is actually good and is an underrated gem.

Well, the game did come out 18 years ago - plenty of time for kids of the time to grow up and become nostalgic for their Sonic game.

I can get not liking Frontiers -- the narrative and gameplay didn't appeal to me -- but I don't see how anyone could choose '06 over it unless they're just that into the Memphis Tennessee Snapcube clip.

Unlikely, considering that's not enough time for it to finish loading.

Honestly I think that could be it. Not that clip specifically, but now that Twitch is so huge, people that grew up with the game can watch others play, or just gameplay videos in general, or parodies, and see the game through rose-tinted glasses. Or it could be that they started liking it ironically but committed to the bit so hard it looped back around to unironically. Or both.

The point is they're not actually playing (or have never even played) 06, so of course the new game they have played recently and don't like is worse in their heads

Well, '06 isn't without charm. If they'd been allowed to finish it then it may have been more than just a punchline to the joke of the Sonic Cycle. I know I'd prefer a good version of what '06 was trying to be over Frontiers, but I recognize I'm in the minority.
