holy poo poo was Adam Bryce Thomas' art in issue 2 great. I wasn't that big of a fan of his archie stuff (unlike most people) because while it was really impressive on a technical level it often felt kinda stiff. But that's no longer an issue with his stuff at IDW, very energetic.

The art this issue (different colorist, artist doing their own inks) felt a bit Fan Comic-ish (like a decent fan comic but still), but if this as low art wise as IDW goes (and honestly it's not even bad, just weaker than before) then we're in good shape

I'm talking more about Heather Breckel's colors more than anything else: Stanley's fancomic doesn't even look like a fan comic anymore it's so nice looking

As I mentioned in another thread, editor Justin Gabrie was arguably even more to blame for the comic being the way it was in the late 90s/early 00s than Penders: he was very asleep at the wheel and did a terrible job of coordinating the different creatives (thus allowing the Penders/Bollers feud to become A Thing), and when he did meddle it was always stuff like "make the art look more anime" and "throw in love triangle stuff" and "have sonic and friends in school". If we had the same creative team but a more competent editor from early on, the comic probably would've been a lot better during that era.

I can see why Nodosaur didn't want us talking Penders in this thread; Lord of Booty we need you to make your separate thread Plus this is a very busy month for IDW sonic: issue 16 comes out next wedensday, while issue 17 comes out 2 weeks after that.

Back on the topic of good sonic comics, I'd say the Rough/Tumblr/Rouge story was the overall best one of the annual, great art courtesy of Skelly, and it would be neat if we could get Cavan Scott to write more stories in the future if they're all as good as this one

Agent Rush posted:Huh, really? 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 Generally the people complaining about the comic (at least those who are actually reasonable people rather than shitstiring Penders fanboys) are primarily complaining about the pacing. 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

I feel like what the book needs to do once all this is said and done is to take a break from doing long term stories and go in a more episodic direction for a while, with stories that are like 1-4 issues long, occasionally planting the seeds for the next big long term story

There's something ironic about how IDW's plans to have issues 29-32 release biweekly instead of monthly and covid delaying everything ended up cancelling things out; right now issue 32 is scheduled for really early September (for reference the original plan was to have it release in June), and in a world that neither had the biweekly release plan nor covid would see issue 32 coming out in August (with it being easy to imagine a standard IDW delay pushing it to early September anyways)

yeah one of Flynn's biggest issues is that his pacing for big epic year+ long stories often sucks? like a lot of great individual moments but a big overall sense of "get on with it!", it's usually his shorter stories that hit a lot better; which is a major factor as to why the news of Evan Stanley graduating to co-head writer is so exciting because he'll have to stick to writing shorter term stuff and even any big epic year+ long stories seem like they will generally have him and Evan alternate within issue blocks.

Agent Rush posted:#30 was another weak issue, all that happens is the Deadly Six and Eggman escaping to fight another day and answering where Sonic went. If it doesn't pick up soon, I might just wait for Bad Guys and drop the main book for the trades. I mean we're right on the cusp on Evan Stanley becoming co-head writer with Ian (starting with issue 33), with it apparently being a while before Ian's next set of post-32 main book issues, and I'd imagine a new writer being thrown in the mix would change the pacing dynamic

Alfredo Jones posted:Something about Belle and the way Tails is treating her just screams “love interest” to me. If I were a betting man I’d wager that at some point in the future she’ll become a flesh and blood animal and start dating Tails. on the other hand Sega frowns on giving the games characters love interests (outside of Amy's crush on Sonic) plus (and yes I know this arc is written by Evan Stanley and not Ian) Ian himself these days wants to be as far away from shipping wars as possible
