Agent Rush posted: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. 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.

MonsterEnvy posted:They generally try to do 4 issue arcs. Also I have no issue with this plot it's been fun so far.  Always down for a good zombie attack story. 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.

No, this whole thing is going to end with Eggman figuring out a cure out of pure spite when he gets overthrown. Or, since I presume we're headed to Angel Island soon, emerowd magic

drrockso20 posted:Also what games, it's been several years since Mania and Forces came out and not counting the newest one of those Olympic Games crossovers with Mario*, we haven't heard a peep from SEGA about the next game in the franchise, like I think this might be the longest the franchise has gone without there either being a newly released game or one that's been publicly announced to be in development I was more kidding about the Sonic games in general and their increasingly mediocre quality. I haven't actually played Forces but I haven't heard anyone be like "wow this is great!" more just "well it's fun to make the goofiest OC possible." Also it's worth noting that Mania wasn't really made by Sega at all and it's probably the best thing to happen to the franchise since, what Generations probably? But I digress Tuxedo Mask posted:I'm hoping once this arc is over they do a Silver series. I really love idw Silver and it be cool to see his future, life, and relationships get fleshed out since no one has ever bothered to do a version of his future that isnt ruined. True but then it's hard to get him with the rest of the cast, plus "avoiding my ruined future" is basically as central to Silver's character as "Gotta protect my emerowd!" is to Knuckles'.

Schwarzwald posted:As best as I can tell, Sega simply does not want the cast to be characters. It wants them to be icons a la Sanrio. I mean to an extent it makes sense. The comics are essentially a monthly ad for the games, and since the games (will almost certainly) never really gonna have the characters undergo much change, they probably don't want the comics to do anything different either. I don't like it, but I understand Sega's POV. Plus I imagine after the Penders poo poo, Sega probably has them on a tight leash. drrockso20 posted:Or to put it another way Sega are morons and always have been That too, certainly.

Agent Rush posted:The new issue of the main book dropped today. It finishes the Chao Races and Badnik Bases arc, all told it's pretty satisfying! They're leaning pretty hard on Belle's creator being Mr. Tinker, to the point I'd be surprised if it turned out to be someone else. Oh poo poo I didn't catch that. That would be pretty great though. It's kinda weird that no one seemed to react to Starline having superpowers all of a sudden other than "dang he got away"

I think the start is hurt by it having to be both a reintroduction to the whole universe but also kinda assume you already know Sonic and his whole schtick? Like, I feel like if IDW/Flynn really wanted to they could have brought it all back to Sonic 1 and Sega would've been okay with it, but also they're smart enough to know that's not what people want, especially when it's replacing a comic* that has every character in the games plus 100+ OCs Do Not Steal. They wanted to get Knuckles and Shadow and everybody from a game post-1992 in already without doing dozens upon dozens of issues to recap/retell every game's story so they just started from the most recent one at the time (Forces) and built from there while having to adjust to all of Sega's tight new rules (like yes his name is Sonic it's not a nickname, nobody has parents how about you shut up, say Mobius again I dare you I double dare you motherfucker say Mobius again, etc.) *yes, calling it a "replacement" isn't really fair since there was a nearly 2 year gap between one's end and the other's launch but that's just inevitably gonna be the way a lot of people see it.

Reading the recap/character pages of Imposter Syndrome, I only just realized that they have Kit listed as having a full name and a nickname (Kitsunami "Kit") just like Miles "Tails" Prower. It's a cute nod to how Tails is Kit's template. Kit doesn't get a last name though, poor lil' fella. That last cover is pretty fuckin cool I gotta hand it to them TwoPair fucked around with this message at 16:21 on May 12, 2022 |

ninjewtsu posted:"The previous 2 games are canon" is the sonic rule that does the best balance of having some continuity while also not letting that constrain the story too much, imo I would just add "Sonic Adventure 2 is somehow always canon" because Shadow keeps showing up.

MonsterEnvy posted:Oh interesting thing from Flynn this was the end of Starline, barring fans begging for his return this issue was his death Pfft. No body no death, I've been in this game too long to accept otherwise. I gotta say seeing Eggman dismantle him was fun though. It's nice to see him actually be a threat from time to time instead of, well, modern Eggman.

I am so genuinely fascinated with how Kit is being handled and I'm curious to how they'll play it out as it's not something I've really seen in a comic aimed at well, this target audience. I want that poor boy to get some help but unfortunately I do not think it's in the cards any time soon.
