Chris Chan is a bad person that does bad things, but their "fandom" has hosed them up even more and are very obsessed. The wiki is creepily thorough.

I really wish people on other sites would stop talking about/making GBS threads on Chris-Chan. It's just cruel, no matter how odd a person may be.

Well, I mean, they DID mace someone for trying to stop them from vandalizing merchandise, among other things. The trolling just makes things worse, and most of their trolls are just as bad.

I have seen more good Mega Man sprite comics then Sonic. Point goes to the Mega Man fandom. Maybe that's why the Archie series is so good.

Not to mention that in addition to being THE depository for game info and the like, the Mega Man Homepage was such a good source of wholesome, non-creepy fanfic for so many of us during our childhoods, maybe that had a positive effect is lessening the usual feverish fandom insanity. Either way it was pretty great looking it up just now and seeing it was still around.  It's seriously been like 20 years now.

Nintendo is pretty protective of their IPs these days. That we even got a Kirby anime when we did is odd to me. I doubt NoA will have us see any new comics anytime soon that aren't old NP reprints (and you can probably forget about the old Valiant comics).

The ending of the crossover was super dumb btw but if it really was just a desperate attempt to jettison the last of the garbage then I forgive them. I hope the heroes going all magical and glowy to solve their problems isn't like a common occurrence in this series though, that's just so cheap and lazy.

That and Archie Eggman, who, and let's not mince words, is a piece of work and a half (so much that Wily wants nothing to do with him after he tries to murder Light) is the one to do it is just the exclamation point to the Sagas run. More or less, Eggman Won and murdered a hell of a lot of people some of which readers actually liked. And then there's the legend that is EL GRAN GORDO.

In the Mega Man comics you can't help but like Wily no matter what ridiculous scheme he's on about, Robotnik on the other hand (sorry I can never get used to calling him 'Eggman' is apparently the puppy-kicking sort of Evil with a capital 'E' . But of course let's not forget that his actions directly led to this image of Dr. Light being a badass:  So all is forgiven.

I was just about to bitch and moan, "whose dick do I have to suck for there to be another Mega Man sale on Comixology?" since I've been holding off since book five. And now there's a big drat sale! I am glad to reap the rewards of fact-checking.

Cause I really like Archie / SATam Eggman just being a sociopath (or whatever his major malfunction is) as I like game Eggman being just left of Starscream in terms of danger. 2) Will any attempt to get the MMBN universe involved be blocked by Viz's ownership of the NT Warrior licence?

To get to the point (because the Retcon cleaned alot of the slate on the matter), Eggman in the comics is more ruthless than the Games would paint him as. How much of that has been erased due to the retcon is anyone's guess but what we do know is a) The Roboticizer was a thing and b) the people who were working for him know it was a big deal and basically work with him to avoid being on the working end of it. He also isn't above outright murder (Though that was the Crossover so we'll see if that sticks) so there's that. ConanThe3rd fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Jan 10, 2015 |

Kind of a moot point anyway when Robotocizing someone is arguably worse. Anyway, I've started reading the Sonic volume that takes place immediately after the crossover and enjoying how every other panel is basically the characters marveling at how much less lovely everything and everyone in the new world is. Things must have gotten hilariously bad before the reboot. I like that Robotnik has actual animal people working for him now too, might make for more interesting plots than Sonic just wiping out endless waves of mindless robots. All in all what I've read so far has been much better than I expected, though as far as kids comics with little blue heroes goes I still vastly prefer Mega Man...

The difference is that game Eggman is only sorta threatening until the Actual Villain shows up, then he teams up with Sonic, or at least backs down until everything's over. Comic Eggman is/was (I don't know how the reboot shakes out) a complete goddamn psycho who 1) has ruled most of the world for ten years 2) would be okay with breaking the universe if Sonic went down with it 3) traps his nephew in the deepest darkest corner of his own prison, but not before having him replaced with a loyal machine doppelganger 4) There's probably other stuff, I am on mobile so I can't check

Yeah Game Eggman is basically an egotistical manchild who just wants to rule the world 'cause he's smart while comics Eggman keeps the ego but is also an outright psychopath who enjoys being a brutal, murderous dictator. The former would be horrified at the later. I mean at one point he powered his city with the lifeforce of helpless prisoners, off-screen killing off most of the comic's surplus supporting cast.

I wonder sometimes if Flynn's portrayal of crazy Eggman circa #200 and ruthless Eggman subsequent to that was influenced at all by suicidal/genocidal Robotnik from the end of the STC run (where Robotnik becomes depressed over his constant defeats and decides he wants to destroy the world because conquering it no longer interests him). Probably not. I mean, I know Flynn is familiar with STC, but it was almost exclusively a British thing. Still, I cannot help but draw the comparison. On that topic, apparently, Nigel Kitching offered to let him use the Brotherhood of Metallix in Archie Sonic but they agreed the rights issues would've made it more trouble than it was worth.
