Every new character (very broadly defined) Penders introduced during his time at Archie is legally his. He can't use ALL of them independently because some are so bound up in IP that isn't his to use, but they're his. He won that lawsuit bigtime.

Y'all seen this collection of S&K tracks? Apparently from some kind of official release, and there's a lot of extra sections that never made it into the game, like an intro to Mushroom Hill and, uh, most of the title theme.

Ken's also trying to claim he owns Shade because "Sega hasn't challenged it", despite never presenting anything to actually challenge except for a court case with Bioware that got dismissed multiple times (he filed it too late and the Judge called him out on it). He has absolutely no idea how copyright works, and will listen to absolutely no one trying to tell him otherwise as it doesn't fit his narrative.

Iirc the reason he got away with the lawsuit was a combination of Archie loving up the paperwork and Sega just not giving a poo poo about the situation.

He must have some understanding that he doesn't actually have full rights to the characters else why does his lara-su chronicles comic look the way it does? He can't use the 'knuckles' or 'the echidna' parts of 'green knuckles' presumably? Is the NFT just going to be of the colour green?

Why do they bold like half the text in comics? No one talks like that and it cheapens the use of bold if you over-use it. It's a weird way to write dialogue.

the first half owns because it's either bizarre penders nonsense, bizarre pun storms from the heathcliff author's cousin, or the bizarre compromises bollers tries to make between them

the second half owns because by that point all the staff are sonic fans instead of boomers and it's just plain good

That's right! It was a promotional thing, released before Sonic & Knuckles: there was a flyer in the case for the upcoming game.



Sonic 3 had a similar preorder bonus at some places in the US, which featured resequenced music from Sonic CD and Spinball:

...which is the closest the US version of Sonic CD ever came to an official soundtrack release, come to think of it. It's a shame that, with the MJ thing and the rights to everything else being a mess, there's little chance of a proper soundtrack release for S3&K like there was for the first two games.

My understanding was it was like that bit in Bojack Horseman where the Walt Disney Corporation sues Todd over naming his lovely, ill-conceived theme park Disneyland...

That used to show up a lot in older comics as a means to convey verbal emphasis on certain words as a means to communicate a particular way of speaking. It probably shows up in old Archie Conis comics because the writers saw other comic creators doing that but didn't understand why...

The other best part about the Archie Sonic comics was that magical period after Sonic Adventure came out where the art team was frantically attempting to adapt to the updated character designs introduced in those games and failing...

i don't think it's ever been confirmed, but it's definitely a pseudonym for somebody since they're responsible for the worst art the comic ever saw
