OP's gonna to take us back to the past.

Sonic's making sure this doesn't became THAT kind of comic.

>>129174478
Shadow you know Sonic won't keep that promise.

Well, that's not going to get confusing when talking about directions.

>>129174459
Tails is around Cream and isn't threatening to cook and eat her. All is well.

>>129174495
Language, Shadow!

When you guys post this shit, are you mocking it or do you actually enjoy it?

>>129174478
>Black creatures
Shadow is fucking racist.

>>129174520
Shadow isn't going to like this. But then again there's very few things that he likes.

>>129174478
I always found it weird that everyone almost exclusively referred to the Black Arms as "black creatures". Like, they're aliens, guys. Just call them aliens if you don't know their species name.

>>129174520
Going to be honest, this art is making me think of something, and I don't like it.

>>129174505

We need to purge those Tails stories from your mind.

>hold on to this at all times
That's not a jinx.

>>129174551
KEEP IT AWAY

>>129174560
Unfortunately, Conductor, I think I'm cursed to live with that shit.

>>129174445
Damn black creatures

>>129174495
Wow, Sonic.

>>129174575
This comic is over 90 pages, Tails. Shadow's not going to have the good kind of luck.

>>129174579
>KEEP IT AWAY
You and I both know that it will keep coming up in comics with Tails. Maybe not in all of them, but it is just going to keep happening.

>>129174592
Sonic can be clever nd manipulative when he wants to. He just doesn't want to most of the time.

>>129174594
Back to the past!

>>129174478
>Disgusting black creatures. Get out of my sight.
Never change, Shadow the racist-hog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzZaKvhJNiU
>>129174495
Shadow can't stand Sonic's enthusiasm.
>>129174541
>Tails: I've invented a new device to cause you emotional trauma Shadow, I call it the time machine!

>>129174612
Huh, things are going pretty well for Shadow.

>>129174630
Don't say that Conductor. Things NEVER go well when you do.

>>129174630
Aw shit!
>>129174624
Tails will accidentally cause the destruction of reality.

>>129174645
Ah yes, the trauma button.

>>129174645
Oh no!
>>129174643
Mwahahahaha!

>>129174655
It hasn't even been five minutes and Shadow's already fucking up.

I love how Tails just has a goddamn time machine.

>>129174675
It's Tails. Kid has lots of things.

>>129174669
Poor Shadow. What he would give to be with Maria for just a bit longer.

>>129174687
ENTER GERALD ROBOTNIK
>>129174675
You wonder if he's used it before?

>>129174697
>Gerald calls him son
Awww

>>129174697
It keeps happening!

>>129174551
It's a chair, not a bench you monster!
>>129174594
>30 years ago
But the ARC incident was 50 years ago?
>>129174645
And he was having such an emotionally stable day so far.
>Tails will accidentally cause the destruction of reality.
I'd honestly like to see a machevellian-style villain Tails.
>>129174707
It's a really nice touch.
>>129174708
They really should've had Shadow watch Back to the Future.

>>129174708
>gerald: i bet it's bill's experiment, that guy keeps trying to make the perfect waifu

So, Maria's a Robotnik. Is she also a mad scientist? Could've sworn I read somewhere that she invented the Heal Gun in ShtH.

>>129174560
THE TIMESTREAM IS BEING SCREWED WITH AGAIN?! THOSE NO GOOD MENACES, I'LL FIX 'EM REAL GOOD WITH TOMORROWS EDITORIAL!!

>>129174708
Shadow is so bad at this

>>129174724
Come on Tails, this is long distance.
>>129174722
>But the ARC incident was 50 years ago?
The text is hard to read at times but it does say 50 years.

>>129174724
I blame the Black Arms.

>>129174750
Some minor complications have come up.

>>129174732
It's for a good cause this time JJJ

>>129174724
>gerald: i bet it's bill's experiment, that guy keeps trying to make the perfect waifs
Hawt
>>129174726
Maria just tells Shadow how the Heal Gun works, she was never onscreen long enough to demonstrate her own scientific skills.
>>129174750
>The text is hard to read at times but it does say 50 years.
That makes sense, I've been doing double takes the whole comic.

>>129174759
Stuck on the Ark? Just like old times!

>>129174759
How the fuck did you two miss them?

Remember kids, with timey-wimey you’d better watch your hiney

>>129174782
What a weird sleepover this is.

>>129174794
Unless you're the Xeelee.

>>129174805
Now what's happening?

>>129174824
Oh... oh no...

>>129174805
Shadow's trapped in the closet, as usual.
>>129174844
It's just an inspection, what could possibly go wrong?

>>129174844
Shadow, I need you to pay attention to your surroundings better.

>>129174824
Shadow if you change the past, I swear...

>>129174824
>I'd do anything...
Wouldn't have to do much. Just punch that hilariously evil GUN soldier in the balls.

Oh please let this be a 'Maria survives' story. I find that concept so fascinating.

>>129174862
https://youtu.be/MK6TXMsvgQg
>>129174856
You're right. I'm just worried for no reason.

>>129174862
Shadow might as well put on a clown costume, it can't fuck up this steal mission any more than he's already doing.

>>129174884
>shadow: even my past self is calling me faker...
>>129174868
He's already fucked up multiple times.

>>129174868
Goes back to the present, Maria and Shadow now rule the world, with Eggman, Sonic, and the rest as resistance fighters.
>>129174898
Just explain things already Shadow!

>>129174898
It's just constant instances of Shadow fucking up. He just can't stop.
>>129174894
That's actually a good idea. Being a clown is easier to explain than being a double.

>>129174917
At least Shadow got away. That's the only thing he seems to be able to do right.

>>129174932
The complications keep coming.

>>129174953
The past is fucked and the present is looking like it has another problem of its own.

>>129174805
So, when is Shadow going to come out of the closet?

>>129174969
>already lost six of the chaos emeralds
Bruh...

>>129174953
He's worked with Rouge for a while now, how does he not know basic stealth?
>>129174969
Shadow's inability to be aware of his surroundings are now messing up the entire timeline.

>>129174986
Leave Biolizard alone! They haven't done anything wrong... yet.
>>129174974
Better get Sonic to come and talk him out of it.

>>129174974
Whenever he and Sonic realize their rivalry's more than platonic.
>>129174998
>You have no idea how much I want to kill you right now.
Shadow, stop picking on your brother!

>>129174998
Just press the big reset button on all of this! And can you believe that things get worse! Many times over? We'll take a 10 minute break and see just how bad it can be!

>>129174953
Shadow you've fucked up everything!

>>129175024
Ah fuck

Our heroes sure are a bunch of bumbling oafs.

>>129174575
>please hold onto my long thing with a round head, Shadow, at all times

>>129175024
Everyone's fucking confused!

>>129175152
To Shadow's credit, he thought he was going to in and out. Now he's still around on THAT day.

>>129175169
We're just going to add kidnapping and holding someone hostage to Tails' list of crimes alongside threatening the very fabric of time.

Kinda surprised Tower hasn't shown up.

>>129175179
Just like old times, eh Shadow?

>>129175169
>Fuck yeah, I always wanted to pull a Waco!

>>129175190
Damn!
>>129175181
In the present, right? Because he's a kid in the past.

>>129175199
GUN were real racists assholes back then.

>>129175211
And they're trigger happy morons.

>>129175224
>splitting up on THIS day
You fools!

>>129175241
At this point, whatever. Shit's fucked. We'll sort it out later. I hope.

>>129175255
Okay, nothing bad has happened to Maria... yet.

God, I need a fucking drink

>>129175274
If only you knew your grandfather is 50 years in the future and held captive by a two tailed fox genius.

>>129175211
Shadow is going to have words for Tower later.

>>129175291
>why do they keep running away when i shoot at them?
>>129175278
I can only imagine the report that Shadow would submit for this.

>>129175274
Oh fuck off, it's Cosmic Fall. Fuck that stage so fucking hard.

>>129174533
Varies from comic to comic

>>129175306
The double Shadow confusion is actually a good thing for once.

>>129175316
It's time (no pun intended)!

>>129175324
No... not this... not again!

>>129175335
This is your fault, Shadow. And Tails' fault as well but mostly yours. Sonic is oddly not to blame in the slightest for this.

>>129175324
>>129175335
I was genuinely expecting a fight against the Heavy Dog.

>EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>129175387
He's the real villain in all of this.

>>129175415
She has NIDS, her grandfather is missing, and there's no one on Earth that can help her. She's either dead now or later.

>>129175363
VENGEANCE AND JUSTICE HAVE BEEN DELIVERED.

>>129175387
He gets off on it.

>>129175428
Sonic, I need you to twist the neck on that bastard. He's the one that is the cause of all the shit that happened.

>>129175410
>>129175415
But he felt really bad about it! He was just following orders!

>>129175439
Everyone's safe! The timeline on the other hand...

>>129175449
Now we're on the Ark in the present.
>>129175443
Awww, in that case... KILL HIM ANYWAY!

The Chaos Emeralds going full Dragon Balls is always funny.

Trouble. Bullets. She really seems to attract them.

>>129175855
That's a pretty OP squad.

>>129175855
>Tails just refers to Maria as "that human girl"
Wow, Tails has been kind of a dick lately.

Im suprised how calm silver is with this time paradox bullshit

>>129175874
Knuckles is the real MVP for this rescue mission.

>>129175887
06 was one giant paradox that created an 8th emerald, he doesn't care.

>>129175557
If GUN can sent a whole platoon to space, they could at least equip them with tasers.
>>129175565
Why was I not resurrected as Devil Doom?
Maybe because there's not enough fucking room in the cavern?
>>129175760
Stranger danger!
>>129175816
>I do want a Robotnik family reunion.
It's just hours of the Robotniks trying to spring traps on each other. Seriously though, it'd be cool to see them all working together.

>>129175830
>CEASE
Oh come on, Maria getting Black Doomed is far from the worst thing the Sonic fandom has done.

>>129175894
Time to get out of here!
>>129175885
I bet he'd remember if he had a crush on her which I'm surprised he doesn't.
>>129175887
He's happy just to be around.

>>129175933
It was mere minutes between the time Maria got transported and when Black Doom and Shadow arrived.

>>129175894
Rock-hard fist-nipples to the rescue again.
>>129175902
Other than that, it was pretty self-consistent.
>>129175933
>Silver: Who cares about time paradoxes, at least I'm being included!

>>129175887
His entire origin story was literally the mother of all paradoxes. Nothing surprises him anymore.

>>129175943
https://youtu.be/QwUxbC5POs8

>>129175907
With how overenthusiastic he was, a taser would probably still end up being fatal.

>>129175953
And when Shadow's not on screen, everyone should ask "where's Shadow?"

>>129175952
I just thought that after sonic 06 he would at least try to fix his mistakes instead of making more along the way

>>129175964
Time for one final rescue mission!

>>129175964
Oh well, with the timeline fucked there should be a spare Shadow somewhere anyway. Blow the aliens out of the sky.

>>129175971
He doesn't even really remember what happened in 06, since Solaris getting retconned also retconned his original bad future. He mostly just gets a sense of deja vu being around Blaze. So it's not like he even recalls that he HAS mistakes to correct.

>>129175978
Yoink!
>>129175907
>It's just hours of the Robotniks trying to spring traps on each other. Seriously though, it'd be cool to see them all working together.

>>129175943
>Black Doom: Oi, I've been rumbled!
>>129175953
Love that soundtrack.
>>129175960
He probably spent the whole trip there thinking about how many war crimes he could commit.
>>129175971
Since 06, Silver hasn't tried to kill anyone, so he's at least improving.
>>129175978
Shadow, you need to find some GUN soldiers to kill so you can fill up your dark meter!

>>129175998

>>129176011

Gerald, you need to be our time janny since the Zone Cops refuse to fix anything.

>>129176079

>>129176105
Say how will Gun react to seeing gerald alive ?

>>129176105
>gerald meeting eggman
I really need to see that.

>>129176116
Tower will have the guy who shot Maria in the old timeline blasted out of a cannon. Into the sun.

>>129176121
After everything they've been through, they deserve this.
>>129176085
So many complications to get around after all this.
>>129176116
New GUN so they'll do what they can to make up for the past and Tower will give him a job working for them. So he can work on the phantom ruby.

>>129176154
Doesn't Maria still have N.I.D.S.

>>129176154
That's right! We had a good story with a happy ending and it's complete! The only downside is that there's no continuation of this. Because this sets up some very interesting stories!

Tomorrow at 9pm EST we'll either do another long comic or a double feature. I'll figure it out later.

>>129176170
was this stated on the game ?

>>129176105
That's really nice
>>129176116
It allows them to deny ever having killed him, and be extension killing all those people on the ARC.
>>129176170
Yeah, but they have Shadow's blood to fix it, along with an extra 50 years of technological development.
>>129176180
Wow, complete and a happy ending? That really was a nice story.
>>129176191
Yeah, it was in SA2.

>>129176180
>>129176218
In fairness, that one Child's Play/Teenager's Play also had Maria get brought back. Though she DID actually die in that continuity so...

But yeah, this is a good ending. Kinda rare for this Ride.

>>129176180
I just realized how misleading this list is. I even removed some stuff I didn't want to post and the list is still pretty big. Maybe we'll do more random stuff. I'll keep looking for more comics and I'm always taking more suggestions.
>>129176218
Overall a great comic. I just wish we had more that were like this. Complete.

Another boring comic. Yawn.

>>129176258
>Overall a great comic. I just wish we had more that were like this. Complete.
Yeah, the rare trifecta of good art, good story, and complete/not abandoned.

>>129176583
I could see this as the plot of an actual Sonic game. If, y'know, Sega didn't loathe the idea of referencing any aspect of the world that's existed before Colors.

>>129177972
Yeah, I don't see it mentioned much but Colors represents a reboot of the series, putting us in the post-modern Sonic era. It marks the beginning of simpler self-contained plots by the (then new) writers pontac and graff, with all of the characters' development rolled back (Sonic no longer takes anything seriously, Tails is useless, etc).
With a little retooling, this comic would've made a perfect game to change up the status quo and open the door for so many interesting plots. Would Gerald and Maria work with GUN to appose Eggman? Would they try to redeem him? If nothing else, it would be cool having them give Shadow advice during missions and develop gadgets for him.
You're definitely right about their refusal to reference things in a meaningful way. Even Generations references that didn't affect the plot, even Heroes' plot directly tied in to the previous games (Metal Sonic's rivalry with Sonic, stealing froggy to obtain Chaos' data, Team Dark's entire plot).

It's a shame Sonic's backstory is literally nonexistent. Shadow has a backstory and he's benefited from it greatly.

A happy ending?
Retconning questionable story decisions?
A completed comic?!

I don't think they fixed the damage to the timeline. This isn't The Ride™ I once knew!

>>129180291
They did. 50+ years ago on his quest to cure his granddaughter's disease Gerald examines the ruins of the Echidnas on Angel Island. Gerald starts his work by creating creatures based on Perfect Chaos (from the SA1 mural), creating the artificial chaos and the Biolizard. His work culminates in the ultimate lifeform, a blue hedgehog with the ability to control chaos as depicted in the S3&K mural.
GUN, fearing the ultimate lifeform's power invades the ARC, killing Maria, but not before she jettisons the ultimate lifeform to Earth. Gerald is captured, and forced to create a new ultimate lifeform under GUN's control. Gerald creates Shadow, filling him with a mix of his own will and the memories of the original ultimate lifeform as revenge. GUN realizes this and executes him.
40+ years later, the crashed pod opens on Christmas Island, although damage from the crash has caused the ultimate lifeform to lose his memories.

Well, Zielo needs more worlds to fill his rumbly tummy.

>>129180853
does that mean sonic also has black arms dna?

I do wonder if anons get burned out on incomplete comics. Because I'm finding a lot of those. Still.

.exe bros... we lost again...

This sounds like headcanon anon. Where does it mention that in the games ?

I thought the closest Sonic had to an origin is whatever Archie wrote in for him getting his powers and that it's now either retconned or never was "canon" for not being in a game.

I can't see why you'd need to give him an origin anyway.

I'm just going off the games up to SA2 so he doesn't. They massively walked back on who was the original ultimate lifeform after SA2, making it explicitly Shadow with the introduction of the black arms in StH. I guess you could work them in somehow, but you'd need to change a lot.

It's Maekawa's headcanon if that counts, and he did confirm the theory on twitter somewhere. It's why Sonic and Shadow get under each other's skin when they call each other faker (they subconsciously realize there's a connection). A lot of the plot also doesn't make sense unless Gerald's implanted his will into Shadow, causing the self-destruct (this is better explained in the Japanese translations). The main evidence is Rouge saying Shadow's memories might be fake, that Sonic is the only one capable of using chaos control with a fake emerald, Shadow acknowledging Sonic might be the real ultimate lifeform, and Sonic appearing to recognize Maria's words after Shadow's apparent death.

>I can't see why you'd need to give him an origin anyway.
I get that, and am actually happy with his origin being "blue hedgehog is really fast and decides to stop villain putting the local wildlife into robots." I only mention the theory because it puts an interesting twist of the franchise, because Sonic has been subconsciously fulfilling Maria's wish this whole time. It also makes Shadow an entirely unique character, since he's also trying to fulfil Maria's wish, despite them never having met.

Zielo's true weakness... rock!

Maria with Robotnik eyes is spooky.

One day, we'll win...

What the fuck did she mean by this

>>129182385
Zielo should have known this would happen after he vored the Underground trio.

>>129182603
Well ain't that some shit?

Cursed!
