So, the McMahon stuff did show up last year but the actual disgusting details weren't known until this year and that stuff was literally like two days after Rock getting the board seat because before the details of the suit came out, Vince was literally there next to Dwayne and the others on Wall Street

sorry - in a crass sort of gallows humor, i was referring to the poop from his rear end.

lmfao I never realized Worlds Collide and Sonic Genesis were all a way to Crisis-away Penders. I just loved the Archie Mega Man comics and had fun reading the crossover. That's so funny.

Why are WWE stans obsessed with comparing the Fed with cinematic universes? One would think they be into AEW instead if they like the idea of shared universes since AEW actually interacts with the rest of the wrestling world.

cinematic universe sounds cooler than soap opera. i think that's all there is to it.

also fyi it wasnt just that sonic was crying its that after sonic 06 came out and completely destroyed the brand's reputation they did a total inspection of basically everything. the reason penders could do his weird echidna fanfic stuff is that nobody at sega really cared about the comic, it was still selling okay relative to the comic industry not being nearly as hot as it was in the 90s, cause hardcore sonic fans are basically a captive audience. then sonic 06's reception was so dire they basically decided to go through everything with a fine toothed comb.

this was that months issue, lol. great timing. if theyd done this any other month theyd have been fine

THE LIAR
The Sonic comic retcon kinda sucked because Penders had come up with a bunch of really lame poo poo and after having a pretty decent run writing Sonic as a mostly funny kids comic, he got too far up his own rear end and just kinda ran the series into the ground, but other writers, mainly Ian Flynn (who used to frequent the SomethingAwful Sonic thread and is now writing the mainline games) had done a lot of cool stuff with his characters and concepts and turned them into things the fans really liked, but then because of the Penders lawsuit and Archie bungling it, all of those concepts and characters had to just get wiped clean and I think the new IDW comics don't have ANY of the stuff that was original to the Archie comics.

it's such a weird situation, 'cause like, Penders is a jerk and he was not a very good writer, but it is technically an example of a creator clawing back ownership of his material from a giant corporation, which is a good thing at the end of the day and he has said he's open to licensing them back to SEGA. I wish SEGA would just fuckin' pay the guy so their good writers can use the stuff that their fans like in their comic.

Last I checked, Penders was making a big deal about how he was going to be releasing comics based on his main echidna character with terrible art, but I don't know if it was ever released.

It hasn't released yet, but there's pictures of the front and back covers floating around, so probably sometime soon

Didn't Penders also try to sue Paramount for stealing his ideas for the movies? Or was that just another part of the posturing?

quote:

In April 2022, after the release of the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie, fans noted the film gave the character of Knuckles the Echidna an on-screen father, something no media for the series had done since Penders's lawsuit had given him copyright of the Archie Comics incarnation of his father, Locke. Penders took to Twitter to state that he believed the character in the film to be a version of Locke, and that he believed another echidna in the film to be another character of his, Enerjak.[43] Upon a user asking him if he had grounds to sue, Penders responded that he would "let the attorneys hash that out", leading many to believe he was preparing for another lawsuit.[43][44] However, as of 2024, no lawsuit has materialised.

While looking this up I discovered half of his wiki page is just the Lawsuits section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Penders#Lawsuits
