And he only appeared in Megaman the Wily Wars on Sega Genesis. At least Magic Man was on a decently popular game.

Like a lot of things in the Mega Man comic, it's a running gag in the fan community that they made canon in the comic.

Also it's weirding me the gently caress out to see a bunch of people act like the Sonic comic is good and has been good for extended periods of time. Have you people never read it before last year or something?

I dunno, I haven't read the comic. I was just pointing out in that one panel that was posted.

I think it's time for some more Mark Gruenwald era goodness.

Now don't get me wrong. Mark wrote some excellent thought provoking comics. The man was capable of advancing stories. He could (and in fact) regularly had stories which were about interaction between characters and their development without necessarily involving fight scenes.
and given this was the 80's and 90's, a lot of the stuff is really good, interesting things.

He also wrote his share of goofy stuff.

Behold this gem. Ever wonder what the Red Skull and his dudes did when they weren't killing Captain America or blowing up cities?

Just chilling in their own club, naturally.

I have to say, I love how Crossbones walks in having balled some chick, and he's complaining to a Nazi-master mind about how he had to cut himself short.

In Megaman & Bass, Flashman's Datacard lists his dislikes as "Commercials for wigs." So there's that. If anything it's one of those cases where a minor trait gets blown out of proportion by fan communities.

It also states that he enjoys photography and is kind to his underlings. But also misuses his power to peep at girls.

I certainly haven't. Good panels make me think comic is good? I read so few comics now that I judge the quality of a series entirely by whether or not panels of it get posted somewhere.

While it might be good now (but I'm not going to check), the Sonic comic has often been legendarily awful and sustained only by a terrifying dedicated fanbase of creeps and furries. Some of the later writers and artists were also insane.

This run of Captain America was the first comic subcription I ever had, and I loved it. Red Skull is a serious criminal mastermind but also Skeletor.

When I got back into comics after high school, I didn't understand why people were whining about comics not being "relevant" by having terrorists and arms dealers and stuff. That's what AIM and the Red Skull are for; bin Laden is not super enough for Captain America to fight. He doesn't even have a secret club where people wear masks.

On one hand, the current writer (who also writes the Mega Man comic) was hired on the strength of an online fan comic he'd previously written, but at the same time, the guy he replaced recently took Archie Comics to court on the grounds of ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL, which has forced the present fellow to write out every character his predecessor (who was effectively the head writer for 19 years) created for the comic.

I was big into STC when I was a kid (it was pretty much my favourite comic before I started getting into Marvel), so I don't tend to rate the American version of Sonic terribly highly, to be honest.

Does this mean the sonic comics are back to just sonic and tails and robotnik, basically? I haven't exactly been keeping up on the sonic comics, but I had the impression that virtually everything introduced since sonic went 3d has been terrible furrybait and self-insert fan art characters.

He knows. A good deal of the Matt socializing with people moments in Daredevil revolve around him telling everyone "I'm TOTALLY not Daredevil guys."

The Kingpin outed Matt as Daredevil a while back. Matt fought it in court and eventually won, so legally, he's not Daredevil, but everybody thinks he is now. Hence the jokes.

The Kingpin would never do that. It was all part of their game and it ended up getting him Caesar-ed. It was due to the guy in charge of the conspiracy that got the ball rolling on his identity being public. Seriously read Bendis's run.
