I had to isolate this amazing element for anyone who, like me, might have missed it when looking at the original.

It was Ian Flynn, the guy who more or less singlehandedly refreshed the franchise. Goons drove him off after they got weird and jealous. There was a fair bit of, "shut up, you're too proud of writing Sonic, no-one even cares about non-cape comics anyway!".

He was trying way to hard to impress the forum, he went so far as to namedrop BSS in the book.

You don't need to be so defensive of the Sonic writer, he's going to be just fine.

Honestly, the only creators who have stuck around are the ones who don't try to make everything about them. Or insist on signing their posts.

I'm more jealous of Tyson Heese, but that's because I knew him back when he was more famous for making slightly bigger and better shaded Sonic character sprites and nothing else.

I wrote an entire post on it in the Bad Runs thread when it was around. but in summation.



Someone from Sega saw this and then decided to go see what the gently caress was actually going on with the sonic license over at Archie. The whole company and team got shaken up and they offered him a spot as "Backup Writer."

He thought of he said he'd quit they'd immediatly rush to give him everything they wanted. They said "Don't let the door hit your rear end on the way out."

I'm going to post a few of my favorite pages of the latest issues of Green Arrow and Spider-Man/Deadpool

Green Arrow (2016) #3:



It's all the more impressive to me that this is a series that's been coming out twice a month.

And then there's Spider-Man/Deadpool #7



It's pretty crazy to look at all the detail the artist put in to give it the look of an aged comic. I especially love how it doesn't try to glorify it, reminds me of Super Robot Wars which accurately depicts really old anime exactly how they used to look too.

Well this is a different artist than was on the first two issues. Otto Schmidt did the first two, that art is by Juan Ferreyra. His art is great, but I'd rather have Schmidt back.

I actually didn't even realize it until you pointed it out, which probably shows just how attentive I am about this sort of thing.

It's a pretty complimentary pairing with Otto. Especially in the painted (or mock-painted) colouring.
For other Rebirth pairs, Doug Mahnke should go well with Pat Gleason since Gleason is so obviously influenced by Mahnke. Too bad there's already been a fill-in artist in #3, but it's still all bright and cartoony, so it's not too grating.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

But the actual chapter is about a shameful secret.

An actual reference would be like... when Jon Grey did to the /co/ and /co+/ to Shadow and Silver's cans for the 50th issue of Sonic Universe. That's both blatant and literally there to say "Hi"

I'm a bit disappointed because I expected it to be blatant. But yeah, if he was posting here at the time then there's no way that wording is coincidental.

That's a hologram. It's very poorly shown that it's a hologram But Tracey Yardley is generally a very good artist.



EDIT: If a character design looks incredibly dumb (all of the third set for example.) Those are pre-boot characters. You see... Archie's artists didn't know how the gently caress they were meant to design Sonic characters, after all it's just so complex... So they just made them animal-people, They used to look much worse than that. You should have seen the Knuckles/Sonic spin offs who just... have hair for some reason, because I'm guessing Sonic and Knuckles are bald.

At least they aren't Porky Pig and friends.

There have to be numerous better ways to depict a hologram than just having the top half of someone's skull float away.

The image is cut off- there's more distortion going on with it and it's clearly being emitted from something, iirc.
