Yo OP

>>131810134
Yes, yes, this is how Metal Sonic becomes Shard. Way to spoil the ending page of words!

>>131810167
It's Sonic and Tails!
>>131810164
Yo anon.

>>131810134
Let's fucking go

You're late Conductor! Were you looking at Acorn women again?

>>131810183
Tails is still very young and inexperienced.
>>131810186
To the polls!

>>131810198
You gotta believe in yourself, Tails.
>>131810197
>>131804845
I made an announcement and there is an Acorn woman.

>>131810216
Yeah Tails. You helped.

>>131810134
The Ride lives!
>>131810183
That's an interesting scarf, looks like he's about to get a shave

>>131810235
That doesn't look like walking but it is to Sonic.

>>131810134
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>131810258
Perfectly place to find some unused missiles and discarded doomsday weapons.

>>131810286
It's good to have fun with things that once tried to kill you.
>>131810247
>That's an interesting scarf, looks like he's about to get a shave
It's to show his patriotism. He'll run in with Living in America playing.
>>131810281
TO THE POOOOOOOOOOLLS

>>131810303
Playtime is over!

>>131810167
>To me and other fans, the story seemed rushed and cluttered
Was it?

>>131810198
Don't worry, soon he shall embrace his DESTINY

>>131810316
>BZZAT
Right in the hedgehogs!
>>131810318
I remember reading it but nothing really stuck out to me.

>>131810316
They don't suspect anything, just wait until they leave, Shard

>>131810345
ENTER NOT-SHARD-JUST-YET aka Metal Sonic for now
>>131810325
WRRRRRRRR

>>131810286
>>131810303
I love these two idiots so much.

>>131810303
>It's to show his patriotism. He'll run in with Living in America playing.
He couldn't be any more patriotic if he tried, his tails can turn into the American flag!
>>131810316
Who could that be?
>>131810366
Looks pretty cool!

>>131810366
So do you call him Metal Sonic for this story or do you still think of him as Shard?

>>131810366
ENTER THE METAL JOBBER

>>131810385
Knuckles' Chaotix was the comic where Sonic and the Freedom Fighters were stuck in mirrors and Knuckles formed the Chaotix and Metal Sonic turned into a giant robot or something.

>>131810216
This coloring keeps making me think Tails is bleeding.

>>131810385
>somehow Metal Sonic returned

>>131810407
>You're 'buddy'?
Your

>>131810407
This is what happens when you have a Metal Sonic perfectly emulate Sonic's sasswholery.
>>131810381
Based Tails. He really is a true patriot!

>>131810318
Not really.

>>131810345
Shard no!

>>131810428
I like angry Sonic. Not mildly annoyed Sonic or serious Sonic. Like Sonic's Fucking Pissed Sonic.

>>131810452
I know his little bro is in trouble but Sonic's looking like he's about to go feral.

>>131810385
He's not Shard until he stops being evil and a dick, so no. He's still Metal for now.

>>131810475
>faster and stronger than sonic
Sonicbros...

>>131810407
Ah, that the formation of the Archie Chaotix......who didn't want anything to with each other. But they eventually warned up.

>>131810428
Dick move, Metal.

>>131810452
Fucking with a guy's little brother will do that to him.

>>131810493
More of a T-1000 Metal Sonic.

>>131810493
Don't get used to it, he's going to job again soon.

>>131810512
Here's hoping Sonic isn't allergic.
>>131810487
Fair enough.
>>131810496
It's great seeing groups start off not liking or trusting each other and become a close group of friends after a while.

>>131810532
>morph hand into a button that you press with your other hand
Not the most efficient way to do that but okay.
>>131810509
Metal is indeed a dick.
>>131810526
Maybe. I remember how this story went originally.

>>131810554
Easy peasy!

>>131810575
I do like how you can see his future Shard looks even in this form.

Are we parodying autists or genuinely being comfy autists ITT?
Either way I wanna fuck Tails

>>131810554
>literally left Tails to get roasted alive by lava
I'm starting to recall why the original Archie Metal was such a cunt.

>>131810592
Not the flowers!

>>131810428

>>131810610
Notes!
>>131810607
He's an evil Sonic with all the attitude of the real deal.

>>131810493
but they're both equally blue menaces

>>131810626
>I love Shard
If you don't love Shard, you objectively don't have a soul.

>>131810626
And with this we'll take our only 10 minute break for the night. Afterwards we'll do chapter 2 and whatever's done of chapter 3 as it is still being updating.

>>131810648
>still updating
WOOOOOOOOOOO

>>131810598
Comfy autists

>>131810648
Okay, so heads up for this issue, all the characters will be in grey because the artist is using this comic as a way to test and improve their art skills. Personally I'd have preferred flat colors if it must be done but oh well.

>>131810798
Oh and chapter 3 is like that as well. Deal with it.

>>131810814
Tails had to eat his patriotism. This is very un-American! He should sue!

>>131810824
>doesn't
Oh.

>>131810849
You can't just look menacing in one panel and then cute in the other!

>>131810868
Goddamn notifications. Can never turn them off.

>>131810882
Can't you just... fly straight up there?

>>131810824
Making him eat his patriotism? Does metal have no shame?

>>131810896
Is Metal trying to pull a fast one on Tails?

>>131810849
>>131810868
Metal being terrifying one moment then cute the next seems to be a logical conclusion when you pair Sonic's enthusiasm and base personality with Metal's ruthlessness and nonexistent morals.

>>131810915
>medium-sized net
Isn't that overkill?
>>131810902
I bet if it was an Eggman Empire flag he wouldn't make Tails do it.

>>131810896
He's playing fair. Who knows what Metal might do if he tries to skip all the way to the end instead of 'racing' him.

>>131810945
>i didn't say there weren't
Touche.
>>131810934
>metal: if you don't do as i say you'll be very sorry... i'll give you a noogie!

>>131810980
Good to see Metal is just as mature as Sonic.
>>131810961
And look where that got Tails. Just can't win!

>>131811003
:D

>>131810980
>sets up traps during a fucking race
Metal is a cheater as well as a jobber.

>>131811003
They all share 1 brain cell.

>>131811021
D:

>>131811021
Tails in that last panel has so much hope and optimism...

>>131811039
Poor Tails.
>>131811024
Metal's just a petty bully.

>>131811039
This race was RIGGED

>>131811059
Now let's see how Sonic's doing. Hopefully better than Tails.
>>131811042
And then just like that... poof.

>>131811024
>cheater
It's not Metal's fault that Tails was too slow to dodge a tiny net

>>131811079
See, this is how you tick off Sonic. Take note, other rivals.

>>131811067
It was completely fair, he even gave him a headstart

>>131811094
Sonic's dodging all the traps but can he dodge...

>>131811099
Scratch that, it was 2 headstarts>>131811059

>>131811107
This. No can't. And so he gets pelted and laughed at.

>>131811059
Tails is just broken.

>>131811082
>tiny net
Well he is the chosen one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCI9Y4VGCVw

>>131811125
Sonic keeps taking these L's.

>>131811125
Now Metal is just being petty for the sake of pettiness.

>>131811151
See? Even Metal is being inconvenienced.

>>131811151
>>131811125
>>131811107
Someone is enjoying Sonic's suffering

>>131811173
>if i don't act like a dick to you, i'll have to kill you
Seems fair.

>>131811173
He's even mimicking Sonic's behaviors to mock him. What a bully.

>>131811198
And the Chaotix. It would be nice to have the Chaotix right about now.

>>131811221
>40 more minutes of suffering for sonic
Grab the popcorn!
>>131811188
He was asking for it!
>>131811211
That just makes it all the better. Getting a taste of his own medicine.

>>131811247
And there he goes!

>>131811188
Probably some old man

>>131811269
Words!

>>131811284

I ummm, went searching again.
I don't know what this is, so here.

>>131811304
And with this we're going into the third chapter.

>>131811221
Sonic, please do not nettle the evil robot who has your little brother tied to a rock in the middle of an active volcano.

>>131811269
The horror won't end

>>131811330
Time for part of chapter 3.
>>131811319
Already did Eclipse and I remember Prank Wars being some sfw fetish comic.

>>131811355
That's a cute Sonic and Tails. It'd be a shame if they were both getting their asses beat.

>>131811247
If your programming is based on his Metal, wouldn't that mean you'd ALSO regret losing Tails?

>>131811355
Fair, honestly, it's getting hard to find anything new at this point.

>>131811371
We got seven pages of this, which is a shame because...

>>131811355
Tails looks pissed.

>>131811380
We get a little trippy.

fox bussy

>>131811319
Wait, there's more prank wars? I'll have to storytime the rest! I originally did it here: >>130388699

>>131811403
Sonic recalls Mecha Madness. When he was roboticized, almost killed everyone, almost died himself, but his billion ring achievement allowed him to deroboticize himself. Thing is, he didn't remember any of that. Not sure if he ever recalled what he did in the official comics.

>>131811435
>Sonic recalls Mecha Madness
Oh boy, thats some trauma right there.

>>131811435
Now you know how Metal feels. Damn annoying notifications!

>>131811452
Robotnik looks like that one meme face. I forget what it is but I remember it in my head. Also, this is immediately followed by Mecha Knuckles punching Mecha Sonic upside his head.

>>131811476
We don't get that though. Instead we get a brief appearance by some lanky girl and some fat dude.

>>131811493
And that's the last page for now. This came out last month and it seems that two pages comes out a month so maybe we'll get a couple more soon.
>>131811451
It's never good when people remember what they did. Sally had a breakdown when she remembered Mecha Sally during the early reboot.

>>131811520
And I'll end it with a look at Metal Sonic in the official comic.

Tomorrow at 7pm EST we'll do a storytime a couple hours early so I can run another errand at the same time. Not sure what I'll storytime.

>>131811586
>that pijama
oh no

>>131811615
i dont know to blur shit my bad do i remove the page or no ?

>>131811520
Speaking of the reboot, fun fact! The reboot's events were ultimately meant to be temporary; Eventually Archie finished looking through their paper work and realized Ken Penders didn't own ANY characters, he does however own publishing rights. What this meant is that so long as Sega approved of it, they could do whatever they wanted with the story, and that they could not reprint old stories with Penders listed as head-writer unless they gave him some money.

Due to this, they then set about trying to reintroduce all of the old cast. During the then on-going storyline Sonic was fighting fish in the Sol Dimension, and it was becoming clear that the Sol Dimension was not effected by the SGW, and that the main antagonist for the arc was Captain Metal, the Pre-SGW version of Metal Sonic...then the book was canceled before the arc concluded. Scourge was even set to reappear, and Archie even wanted to release a book called Rivals of Sonic The Hedgehog recapping the first appearances of Scourge, Silver, Metal Sonic, and Knuckles which had a 3D Render of Scourge made by Sega to help promote the book, but again, the book was cancleled before any of this could come to pass.

The reason for the book getting canceled had its roots in Penders, but ultimately came down to Worlds Unite blowing a big hoke in their total budget that the sales didn't make up for and the Sonic Boom adaptation flopping since it came before the show which made Boom actually well-liked. This was ultimately enough of a money drain that Archie's staff recommended cancelling their least profitable book, which was ironically, Archie itself. The then-CEO flipped shit and instead put Sonic on hiatus, citing "We aren't Sonic Comics, we're Archie Comics.", and put forth a plan to try and get Sonic's audience into the comic adaptation of Riverdale, under the logic of "Both seem to test well with older readers", despite the fact that Sonic and Riverdale have absolutely nothing in common.

>>131811684
The decision naturally pissed everyone off, but most of all Sega wasn't informed. So they sent someone ahead to question them as to why they weren't doing re-do comics for previous Sonic games, and why Antoine's new redesign (which was MEANT to appear in Sonic Universe) hadn't shown up yet amongst other things. They were given zero satisfactory answers. It didn't take long for IDW to get the rights after that.

So basically, blame a cancerous trifecta of Penders, Worlds Unite, and the Archie CEO at the time being utterly retarded for why the Archie continuity never recovered or reintroduced all of the fan-favorite characters.

>>131811725
Was this a new CEO or the one who broke into a board room meeting and started screaming penis penis penis everywhere?

>>131811627
here a version safe to use

>>131811748
thanks

>>131811743
It was the latter. They didn't get a new CEO until after that one's attempts to 'revitalize' the company crashed and burnt. And this was all in the middle of them treating their artists and creatives like shit, which is the entire reason why their very own flagship book was selling like garbage.

>>131811743
>>131811822
Silberkleit was absolutely fucking unhinged and it's not surprising that she got the book cancelled and the rights pulled due to her stupidity. She apparently wasn't even allowed inside the building by the staff during board meetings because of how nuts she was. There were also apparently allegations of her asking about her husband's handgun and ammo that he kept somewhere in the office, as well as stalking people's families.

Penders might have been the catalyst, but if it weren't for Silberkleit, Archie Sonic never would have gotten pulled.

I found something cool on twitter. A script for StC that shows a look into how the comic was made.
https://twitter.com/m_gearoid/status/1547307416487968771

>>131811743
It actually might have been Goldwater who signed off on that, since Silberkleit (the "PENIS PENIS PENIS") was just co-CEO. But part of that position means having equal say on dumb decisions like this, so she almost certainly agreed to it and supported it and nobody would have been able to say anything against it to either of them. Silberkleit herself quite literally only got the co-CEO positioning because of nepotism, since her dad founded the company.

>>131812050
Correction, her father-in-law. Which really should not have happened, since Michael had adult children or grandchildren who could have inherited things instead.

And no, it was almost certainly Silberkleit who fucked over Archie Sonic. Goldwater might have had a major hand in it because lul Riverdale, but it sounds EXACTLY like something she'd do or approve of without contemplating the ramifications that would have on the company as a whole, since Sonic was their very best seller. Better if she could get away with it behind Sega's back.

>>131811743
>>131811822
>>131811984
It was probably a bit of both, but Goldwater is 100% the most likely culprit. Despite her insanity, the "Penis penis penis" lady didn't really care about the comics or anything. Goldwater himself is a MASSIVE fucking Archie fanatic and hates anything non-Archie. Getting rid of Sonic in his eyes was just a logical decision to get more Archie out there, and given he managed to get steaming shit like Riverdale talked about without people treating Archie like the butt of some universal joke, it only solidified his view that "we don't need Sonic, we have Archie".

Then they completely fucked up, Riverdale got forgotten about, and Sega took the rights from them and forced them to scrub clean anything related to Sonic. Now, Archie is back to being that one comic sold in grocery stores that nobody cares about.

>>131812011
Neat.

>>131812258
Found a source too, so I'm not just talking out my ass:
https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/05/09/archie-comics-still-not-talking-about-cancellation-of-sonic-the-hedgehog/

>>Archie and Sega were trying to reach a new deal together, that Archie CEO Jon Goldwater wants to “get away from Sonic” because it’s “not really Archie” and Sega were asking for more money.

>>131811615
Oh YES

>>131812284
source about the preboot continuity possibly coming back then?

>>131812482
https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Best_of_Sonic_the_Hedgehog_Rivals

This and Captain Metal are the biggest things. Sega themselves made a 3D render of Socurge to help promote the book and this was following the post-reboot comic too, so it also clearly shows that Sega was fully in support of his use and getting promoted again until Goldwater fucked everything.

>>131810641
I need to protest Jonah, all this one's done so far is play with his surrogate brother in the woods and get rightfully pissed when his robot doppelganger kidnapped or possibly killed him.

>>131812532
Ian never mentioned this

As much as I hate to say it, I've made peace with Archie not coming back. The only way I would be fine with the FF coming back under IDW, it'd be with them getting their own ongoing and Sonic can come over and work with them. Or do classic Sonic with the FF added in.

And if I could put out 20 comic pages a month, I'd do it myself.

>>131812553
Ian doesn't mention a lot of things, dude is pretty much depressed and clearly doesn't care much nowadays going by a lot of his non-answers on Bumblekast. He didn't mention that he basically stopped writing Shadow into things in IDW because of how stifling the mandates are, but that's pretty obvious even if you're reading for the first time.

Sonic was too much penis for the Archie brand

>>131811743
>the one who broke into a board room meeting and started screaming penis penis penis
Fucking Power Move.

Alright. Weird Question, but I don't want to google it because I don't want to get the feds on me:
During the either of the runs in Archie, did Sonic ever cross over with Archie?

>>131812776
In a minicomic.
Lame.

>>131812776
Only in a single short mini. It wasn't very good.

>Wily immediately freezes up and stops firing once Light gets in the way

>>131812556
Me personally could live without the FF. They were good when Sonic just had tails, but now a days his cast has grown enough where others can take up their roles or new OCs can get close enough.

Its the lost of the dozen and Scourge I hate. Mirror worlds are always fun and the dozen gave Sonic other's he could bounce off and move plots with without Eggman having to be back stabbed with.

>>131816196
>new OCs can get close enough.
You're setting yourself for a loophole. You're just gonna discard them in turn too, the moment a whole more another batch of OCs are made. Learning to repurpose old characters is the ideal.

>where others can take up their roles
Two can take the same role. Roles don't define a character's worth in the slightest. They are just to define better what's a character's own abilities and/or occupation.

>>131816196
I don't think the FF can work alongside the Resistance because of the OCs already there. The exception being Sally because Amy doesn't want to be leader and Jewel at best prefers working at her desk. That's why they would either be a separate group, be part of classic Sonic, or be introduced as a team working for GUN. As for Scourge, bringing him in after Surge is a tough sell. Ian already got his replacement. The Egg Bosses would be a great addition to the IDW world.

>>131818392
Ian literally had both Surge and Kit get their shit pushed in during their very first actual field test. Surge is nowhere near an actual replacement for Scourge and that's obvious to anyone.

>>131818465
Ian wanted to bring in Scourge and this is what he did. It was up to him to have Surge lose and barely register as a blip to Sonic but she'll be showing up later and seemingly be a threat for others. Judging by the fanart and comics, people wanted Surge to be something of an antihero or troublesome ally. She might get Finitevus' motivation in wanting to kill everyone but for the purpose of taking her anger out on the world. We'll just have to wait a few months to see. Kit is more of an enigma. It'll be interesting to see what will happen to him and what he is truly like.

>>131818588
Ian wanted to bring in Scourge and he wasn't allowed to. So he gave us diet Scourge who failed in her very first match up with Sonic. Most of the people focused on Surge aren't looking at her story potential, but porn or pairing her with various other characters. Ian himself has taken a backseat in most things, so I'm not expecting him to make Surge not look like a failed experiment by Starline any time soon.

At this point, it's entirely up to Evan regarding what gets done with Surge and Kit.

>>131810134
The Cursed Amulet Page 33
https://www.deviantart.com/l1atena1
For those who don't remember, Amy went on an excavation trip and Sticks has a bad feeling about it and so does Sonic who is missing her and now they're fighting Eggman without her and things feel off because of it.

>>131818767
The comic with the smuggest faces is back! Just look at Knuckles in that first panel.

>>131817476
This. Repurpose and utilize OC's effectively. Dumping and discarding ones you hate at random ultimately makes you no better than Sega and traps you in the same cycle of stagnation that has plagued this franchise for well over a decade.

Um, excuse me. Can you not?
