Definitely Viewtiful Joe in the lower left. Can't identify the rest.

Actually I think NiGHTS is right above Viewtiful Joe, now that I look at it again.

Oh, wow, I think you might be right. Good grief.

All it needs is Crash Bandicoot, Ristar and possibly Sparkster and 6-year old me will be over the moon. :v:

(Okay, one that definitely won't happen but would be all kinds of cool would be Chuck D. Head, if only because I know that Ian Flynn has read STC and thus will have read Nigel Kitching's Decap Attack strips. :D)

Okay, I am now imagining a Hunter character coming into the story and he keeps wanting to skin the Sonic characters and make hats out of them.

Also, is that (one of the) Nina(s) from Breath of Fire to the right?

I didn't mention it, but I like that the primary Capcom contingent is Rock and X. Sega have Sonic and... the Australian whatever-she-is from Sonic Boom. That's like a Marvel/DC crossover headed by Superman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man and Shamrock.

ftfy, but yeah, Sega really wants to push the new Sonic Boom franchise. I'm surprised that they didn't force Archie comics to have Sonic wear a scarf. They could explain it as being a result of somehow deep down inside somewhere remembering Blues or something.

He could have a duel with Zero for best... whatever it is those things like the above are called.

e: If Vyse shows up I'll actually buy at least a digital version of this story arc and tell anyone I can it was thanks to Vyse. Then maybe we'll get another Skies of Arcadia finally.

Epoxy Bulletin posted:

Cool thread so far, I read a ton of Archie and Sonic when I was younger. Pretty impressed with Sonic's upturn in particular these days, Tracey Yardley's art is pretty fun.

I'm actually trying to dig up a particular Archie story that I remember liking and wanted to see again, and was hoping someone here had heard of it: It involves the usual gang of idiots wrecking Mr Lodge's boat in a storm, but takes a goofy turn as everyone wades ashore in period garb, planting a flag and claiming their island "for her majesty." The rest of the story has a bunch of relatively outlandish (by archie standards) one-panel visual gags like this, the other one I remember is Veronica harping at the guys who are drawn as basically giant heads, stacked up like a totem pole for some reason. I don't recall which digest I read this in, or the writer or artist, unfortunately.

Anyone have any ideas? Not sure where else would be a good spot to ask. Maybe I should just write in.

I actually might know what you're talking about. Maybe.

If it's the same type of story I'm thinking of, it looked like 60s-era Archie, and it had Archie, Jughead, and Reggie in a band that got into all kinds of hijinks, and with the visual gags you remembered. Kind of like the show "The Monkees", which I'm sure was an inspiration. I seem to recall at least a couple of stories along those lines, and one of them (maybe it's the same one you're thinking of) had them looking for Pop Tate, but while they were out searching the world, he was apparently in Riverdale the whole time, and got lonely without them and shut up shop and moved to Canada. The last panel suddenly had the three band guys in Mountie outfits dogsledding their away across the land.

I couldn't tell you which digest I read those in, and they unfortunately didn't have the credits for the story. The writer might've been Frank Doyle, though, who wrote a ton of stories for Archie, and most of them with a comedic slant.

Anyways, this thread is pretty nostalgic for me. I started reading Archie in the late 80s or so, and the late 80s to early 90s were kind of a weird time when they were throwing all these different comics against the wall and seeing what would stick. Besides Jughead's Time Police, I remember Archie's R/C Racers, Jughead's Diner (where Jughead was transported to a 50s-style diner in an alternate dimension), Dilton's Strange Science, Faculty Funnies (where you had Mr. Weatherbee and a few other teachers as superheroes), Archie 3000, and there might've been a couple more. I don't think most of them lasted more than a few issues. There was also the revamp they did of Little Archie where they were suddenly drawn in a more modern style and the stories were more 90s-relevant. That didn't last too long either, I believe.

So does that shoulder next to Nina belong to Ryo Hazuki?

If they reference Shenmue or Panzer Dragoon that would be amazing.

I only played 2-4 and 3 felt like the weakest of the 3 for me. And wasn't 2's Nina the most standout, with her black wings, and all that lead to?
