drrockso20 posted:Notably Charmy got stuck in one and came out literally retarded, in a really hamfisted way to reconcile their version(who was a teenager) with Sega's version(who is like 6), at least until they retconned everything after the second Mega Man crossover come on, please don't use that word. But regardless, Ian said he shouldn't have done it that way and that what he had happen to Charmy was a mistake.

Keeping in mind that he was basically in charge of putting out the eternal tire fire that was Penders’, leavings one screwup like that was probably inevitable. That said one has to laugh how he’s the first non bg character casualty of the outbreak.

Which automatically takes any real sting out of it, the moment they had a Sega character get infected it became obvious that it will get undone Basically they were kinda screwed in making anyone really care about this arc either way, cause if they had kept it to just background characters and OG characters sure they could have higher stakes but no one really gives a poo poo yet about any of them except maybe Tangle since the comic has only been going for a year, and there was no way that Sega would let anything permanent happen to any of their characters either Basically Ian should have waited another year or two before doing this sort of arc to give people more time to give a poo poo about the non Sega characters so that there could be some real tension

This sort of thing is too widespread to not be undone anyway, the only way it could become the new status quo is if it were the final story of the comic series.

Read the new issue, things are still steadily moving toward a climactic moment of Sonic's infection finally getting the better of him. I doubt it will, but they're doing a fine job of acting like it could. I wonder how Gemerl is going to dealt with seeing as the virus can't infect him. Either a mutation makes it so it does, or he just gets torn apart by a mob of zombots.

I was about to ask if there are any TPBs out but I see a few already on Comixology. Would you all recommend maybe picking up the first 2 volumes to see how I like it? I've gotten a weird urge to read these new ones after hearing good about them.

I still miss the Knothole Freedom Fighters, but the new series has been pretty good so far.

New issue's out today. Omega seems a little more 'robot' and less prone to joking than before, but it's only his first appearance in the new series.

Digamma-F-Wau posted:Surprised no one's talking about the tangle and whisper mini, given that it's been out for a week Honestly, there wasn't much to it. I realize its supposed to set up their new adventures, but without any new insights into either character or their relationship its just dull. That, and I find imposter hero storylines incredibly boring without some kind of twist or examination of the character. Check out "The Greatest Enemy in History" story from Mega Man Megamix for a good example of what I mean.

Who's saying that, and what were their complaints with the main comic? Most of what I've seen has been pretty positive regarding the new stories, aside from a few people (like me  ) saying they missed the Freedom Fighters. This is actual curiosity, not trying to throw any kind of shade on anyone who doesn't like the new comics.As for the mini, I just think this first issue doesn't bring anything new compared to the Tangle & Whisper story from the annual earlier this year which I enjoyed.

Also they're generally found in the /sthg/ threads on 4chan's /vg/ board (alongside poo poo stirrers that are best left ignored), though there's a few on tumblr as well

Bingo, for the first few pages I thought they were reprinting the annual story (look I don't have perfect recall okay) and was confused until later. I still enjoyed it, just waiting on that "new" feel though.

Ah, that explains why I haven't seen anything before. I can see having a problem with pacing, especially now with last week's issue ending with Tails developing a cure for the Metal Virus but losing the hard drive it was on to a Zombot attack. Apparently we'll get the story of what happened to Restoration HQ in the next issue later this month, hopefully the story moves ahead as well and the whole issue isn't just a 'meanwhile...'.

I haven't had the chance to read the last two issues, but considering this thread is dead, I'm going to assume not much happened.

It's a zombie story except there's a 100% guarantee everyone will be turned back to normal at the end with no major consequences. There are neat stuff but I don't think this arc was a good idea with the restrictions given, also doing it so early.

Although I think it might be more interesting if Sonic did get turned and everyone else had to fight him for a change. I guess they kiiiind of did that with Shadow but eh. Plus I think it's clear at this point that if this arc's dragging, it's only so they can basically reintroduce every Sonic character into the new world that hadn't already been introduced.

Though on the recent issue. Man did Starline just make a huge mistake. He does not know that Eggman can't control the Zeti and has bad blood with them. He's effectively just handing an army over to Zavok by getting them involved.

On the other, maybe these kind of interactions are just what they need to become more interesting.

So the main book was only a 'meanwhile...' with the fall of Restoration HQ story, which is honestly pretty disappointing. On the other hand, the new issue of Tangle & Whisper goes into Whisper's backstory with the Diamond Cutters and is heading toward its climax pretty handily. It's turning out a lot better than I would have thought based on the first issue. The fact that it's not an impostor hero story makes it sit better with me.

Nope. I think it was the first casualty of Sega pulling the license. Hard to tell though since they came out like five months apart.
