>>140174555
Sonic looks happy! See, he's jumping for joy!

>>140174555
HERE WE GGOOO
>Question
Yes, sonic could beat himself off :)

>>140174555
>Question: Could your favorite character beat Mecha-Sonic? Still applies if your answer is Sonic himself.
Yes

>>140174580
PREVIOUSLY ON SONIC THE HEDGEHOG...

>>140174555
Oh man, this is such a great comic!
>Question
No, but Remington would be more concerned with evacuating civilians anyway. And that's what makes him best boy!

>>140174555
>Question: Could your favorite character beat Mecha-Sonic? Still applies if your answer is Sonic himself.
Almost any non-Archie Tails could pull it off simply by outthinking him or using something to disable then deroboticize him. I think most non-Movie Knuckles variants would get their asses kicked though.

>>140174598
Tossing Knuckles like a fish!
>>140174581
Dohohoho!
>>140174590
Nice!

Ahh, the fabled Mecha Madness. Let's go.
>Question
Ehh. probably not. Could put it in submission for a bit but it'll still probably mop the floor with him.

>>140174598
Knothole Council aka Sonic's friends telling him no.

>>140174555
>After that, it’s another trip into the Zone of Silence but this time, everyone’s favorite character will be joining Sonic and Sally!
Again, this feels like a threat.

>Question: Could your favorite character beat Mecha-Sonic? Still applies if your answer is Sonic himself.
Mobotropolis era Nicole could definitely take him. Rouge would pretend to switch sides just so she could sabotage him.

>>140174625
Time to fight roboticization with roboticization!
>>140174617
What a helpful lad!

Ya I'll have to admit this is probably the best sonic comic

Only other one that comes close is maybe the Tangle & Whisper series

>>140174555
>Thread question
I feel like Metal Sonic has a shot, but he's usually a jobber so it's not guaranteed.
Blaze probably could though, although she'd be hesitant.

Get ready for one of the awesomest Sonic stories ever!

>>140174663
Antoine got socked! Think of it as what he deserves for later.
>>140174623
Poor Archie Tails. All he's got is his cute looks and tales of his adventures in Downunda.

>>140174555
>Could your favorite character beat Mecha-Sonic? Still applies if your answer is Sonic himself.
She almost did.

>>140174700
Spaz please, the way you draw Sally...
>>140174624
Damn.

>>140174663
Of fucking course Antoine is pleased that Sonic in deep shit now as he tries to destroy them all as a robot.

>>140174625
More cool computer graphics from Spaz
>>140174663
>What a helpful lad!
I love him so much!
>>140174700
Love when Spaz draws his trademark big mouth

>>140174625
Damn, Sally is NOT fucking around right now. ... What does it say about me that I find that hot?

>>140174625
I really like this 3D mesh on Nicole's screen.

>>140174722
Oh, Bunnie is liking what she's hearing!
>>140174641
He really doesn't have much luck with any council.

>>140174722
>Flip Back Kick
Ah, 90s Martial Arts. When you can still bullshit your fighting "style"

>>140174753
Oh no! Mecha Sonic is going to obliterate that twink!

>>140174722
>>140174753
I know people will go like, "hurr they fucked!" but being for real, knuckles and sally being good friends makes a lot of sense with how shitty their dads are

>>140174663
Y'know, it's kinda hard to be mad at Antoine here. Yes, he is being a massive hater, but Sonic has been nothing but totally shitty to him for the entire book.

>>140174722
>Spaz please, the way you draw Sally...
There's a reason he's one of the most popular Sonic artists!
>>140174729
That you like it when a lady takes charge
>>140174730
Spaz is so good at that stuff, especially since it's always hand-drawn

>>140174779
Sonic's able to hold back complying with Robotnik's orders. Kind of.

>>140174700
I'm supposed to believe Sonic belongs with this bitch when she has been so quickly willing to kill him.

>>140174821
ENTER MECHA KNUCKLES
>>140174727
>More cool computer graphics from Spaz
He definitely loves using that for various things.

>>140174555
>Question
Sure! In fact, he might get a new weapon out of it!

>>140174821
It's a chance Robtonik didn't think of asking about Knothole's location in the first place before he sent him away.

>>140174663
Wait a minute, if they had a robot maker and overrider all along, why didnt they use it on Sonic in the first place?! IT TOTALLY WOULD HAVE WORKED!!!!
even as shown HERE!!
>>140174847

>>140174555
> the only fave character of mine who could even fight let alone beat Mecha is Blaze, Mordred would get merced and Vector would do well but ultimately lose

>>140174847
So Knuckles should be able to win this.

>>140174835
>when she has been so quickly willing to kill him
At no point is she considering killing him.

>>140174835
Bro, do you remember the last time Sonic went evil on them? They almost died, how can you legit fault any of them having that as a back up?

>>140174847
>SHORYUKEN!!
Man, wouldn't be wild if the FF met the World Warriors?

>>140174663
Antoine please, everyone is about to die.

>>140174854
They weren't sure it would and only did it as last resort.

>>140174700
Gotta side with Sally on this. The situation has gotten intolerably fucked up, and they need an edge.

>>140174753
... Huh. Knuckles is FAR more cooperative about this plan than I expected.

>>140174875
It's a crime there aren't toys of these two.
>>140174785
It's a great bit of history for them and gives them something to bond over.
>>140174800
>There's a reason he's one of the most popular Sonic artists!
Chef's kiss!

>>140174700
Knuckles no, not Antoine!

>>140174753
>oh, mah! Ah smell gossip... just what ah need to revive!
Never thought I'd find Bunnie so relatable
>>140174779
>Oh no! Mecha Sonic is going to obliterate that twink!
lmao
>>140174821
Damn, he looks so cool here
>>140174847
The art is absolutely perfect!
>He definitely loves using that for various things.
Peak 90s tech!

>>140174921
It's funny how everyone else is just commentating and saying random stuff when they're in panel.

>>140174921
Spaz can do what most Sonic artists can not, be really good at drawing mechanical things!

>>140174875
If they needed another mecha to fight Sonic, who would you want as the mecha?
For me, it'd be Mecha Rotor! He doesn't get many opportunities to do cool stuff on screen he's still does cool stuff in the comics, though

>>140174949
Oh no!
>>140174919
>... Huh. Knuckles is FAR more cooperative about this plan than I expected.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. And Knuckles really wants revenge.

>>140174729
that you have some matched taste my dude, welcome to the club

>>140174980
Wait, Eggman just has nukes on standby?

>>140174753
Bunnie pls

>>140174980
>KTANG
>the way those bodies are positioned

>>140174821
HE HAS NUKES?

>>140174887
>how can you legit fault any of them having that as a back up?
Because the memes demand that we hate Sally and bitch about her every word and action regardless of fact or or logic.

>>140174753
Well yeah Sonic doesn't gel with any council. He's the cowboy cop. Sally/Max/Hamlin's the mayor and he's Dirty Harry.

>>140174875
This is pretty good for a Sonic comic.

>>140174980
Hendrix? Jimi Hendrix? How do they know who he is and have any shred of knowledge of what he said?

>>140174779
Exactly what Robotnik ordered!

>>140174980
>inverting polarity
MY ONE WEAKNESS!

>>140175013
Well there goes two main characters and one major villain. And Knuckles just got his mini!
>>140175001
Yup! Funny thing... this isn't the only time this happens to Robotropolis.

>>140174921
this page seriously slaps

>>140175013
>>140174980
>I AM KNUCKLES! MASTER OF MAGNET!!

>>140175052
>robotnik survived
Booo! How did he even fit in that hole!
>>140175028
>laughs in house of cards

>>140174821
>Robotnik has nukes
What the FUCK?

I also like now it's fairly consistent that people with extremely strong wills can somewhat resist roboticization if it comes down to harming those they deeply care for.

>>140174921
Absolutely stunning art
>>140174952
I'm guessing he's watched a heap of mecha anime
>>140174967
The only thing that can defeat a robotwink is a robobara!
>>140175013
They can't help but be attracted to each other!

>>140175052
Mobians must be pretty strong, considering they just survived a nuclear explosion.

>>140175052
'anges?

>>140175087
Yeah, like Shortfuse!!

>>140174847
KNOCK KNOCK IT'S KNUCKLES

>>140175086
Everyone survived!
>>140175033
Gallagher

>>140175086
I can't believe he survived a nuke and snively too

>>140174921
I live for cool shit like this.

>>140175052
wow, Sally sure looks happy they're both dead...no wait she doesn't, my bad

>>140175153
>so much for your brain burn-through
And he did it without a chip.

>>140175153
Oh, Antoine... some anons are mad at Sally but that's the guy you should be directing your anger at during this story arc.

>>140175153
Damn chun nan parts are useless!

>>140174980
Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow, Knuckles!

>>140175153
>that last panel
How romantic!

>>140175156
You know, the bloke who via sheer force of will fought off Robotnik's mind control when he made into a super badnik!

>>140175013
KNUCKLES AND SONIC ARE FUCKING DEAD

>>140175184
Fix Knuckles and save Sonic!
>>140175156
>clears throat

>>140175184
I'm happy Sally doesn't even try to hide how glad she is he's alright despite the fact they're worried he turned traitor

>>140175184
Awww so sweet
>>140175199
Oh yeah!

>>140174893
They appeared in a wasted crossover brought on by executive meddling

>>140175052
Tails seems somewhat unconcerned his idol and brother figure just died.

>>140175153
Knuckles. KILL ROBOTNIK. KILL HIM NOW.

>>140175219
>>140175183
And here's the reason why!

>>140175219
>It's you and me, Big Boy.
Rotor did not give you his consent, Nicole.

>>140175219
damn...I think this is really the first time we see Sonic really be guilty and genuinely mournful besides the obvious stuff for his Uncle/Dog

>>140175153
I choose to believe the parts came from Downunda.
Crocbot had a nuclear-powered tank, after all.

>>140175219
Wait, the FF get paid? With what?

>>140175086
WHY DO YOU YET DRAW BREATH

>>140175114
Literally who?

>>140175153
This page made me realize something. The raw power of a roboticized mobian always matches their equivalent non-roboticized power.
Does this mean Bunnie is more powerful than we think? Or is she normal and I'm overthinking things? How powerful would robot-Tails be?

>>140175241
Well, that's not good...

>>140175184
Antoine is such a petty and jealous piece of shit. Why do people call him based?

>>140175266
Food ration tickets.

>>140175236
I know, it was a terrible attempt at a joke.

>>140175271
Nicole to the rescue!
>>140175272
The biggest twist is that he's better written by Penders.

>>140175271
I am hearing Sonic speak with Steve Urkle's voice right now.

>>140175153
>"inferior foreign parts"
Is there a southerner writing this comic? That "the south shall rise again" and this one are giving me that vibe

>>140175153
Robotnik really shouldn't have imported those parts from Soleanna. Those demon channeling rituals really void the warranty.

>>140175297
Nicole is so feisty

>>140175184
>spoiler
What if I'm not mad at either of them? Sally did literally nothing wrong, and Antoine has every right to be bitter at Sonic. I feel like people just want to hate on the heroes regardless if it makes sense or not.

Personally, I would direct my hate towards the villains, but that's just me I guess.

>>140175297
So as a preventative measure, everyone should collect a billion rings and go on a spiritual journey to better protect themselves against being roboticized.

>>140175184
Get over yourself Antoine.

>>140175324
>he doesn't remember
>he immediately treats knuckles like shit
Nobody looking good in this story. Except Knuckles. He did great.

>>140175306
That's always been a thing. Shit, in the 80s, everyone was afraid of the Japanese buying everything up.

>>140175315
>Antoine has every right to be bitter at Sonic.

Literally the whole ordeal is Antoine's fault.

If Sonic collected a billion rings, how many extra lives would he have?

>>140175271
This is an asspull.

>>140175297
>>140175324
Well done, best girl.

>>140175219
Nicole, please stop flirting with Rotor.

And poor Sonic ;_;

>>140175324
Look how happy Knux is to see Sonic all fleshy and plapable!

>>140175309
This is why you by from Meroplis. It's water proof AND durable.

>>140175219
Huh. Yeah, I guess this would be the first time Nicole and Knuckles meet. Heh, now there's a team up I'd like to see.

>>140175222
That's called good writing.

>>140175345
ANTOOOOOOOOINE!
>>140175306
Depends on where Gallagher was born.
>>140175313
Love it!

>>140175271
SONIC IS DOOOOOMED

>>140174921
This is like one of *the* Archie Sonic pages.

>>140175345
Bunnie did well! Sure, she might have an concussion, broken ribs and vertigo but she did her best!

>>140175376
Now for the backup story. A Chaotix story that introduces the Destructix and one of the biggest villains in this comic. Seriously, they give Robotnik a much needed run for his money.

Seriously, what foreign country has Robotnik been getting "inferior parts" from? What is his incentive to use them instead of regular ones when he can automate the process and doesn't have to worry about something like money holding him back? Genuinely, what the FUCK did Knuckles mean???

>>140175345
And they're back to flirting!
>Nobody looking good in this story. Except Knuckles. He did great.
He's so cool!
>>140175348
10 million

Some cool fan art of this issue I found
>>140175376
God, why is antoine such a faggot here? Whats his problem

>>140175376
ah well, shame this is coming up as actually was quite liking how it was going and the extra bits of humanity the characters were having with the stakes raised that high

I see that this is where Sally starts to become curvier

>>140175376
>y looking good in this story. Except
My only issue with that is that sonic has been disobeying orders on a regular basis before that.
"Unnecessary endangering the Freedom Fighters" would have worked better.

>>140174952
It doesn't help that most artists get into Sonic for the cute furry characters that are the complete opposite of /m/.

>>140175414
>lightning lynx
LOL
This fucking guy!

>>140175376
Somewhere JJJ & Max are dancing with joy

>>140175414
oh hey the Fearsome Foursome/Destructix, I actually quite like these villains as a recurring presence and nice middle level threat for the cast to face off, feel we could use something more like that in the games

>>140175428
she's been that curvy since two threads ago

>>140175414
I'd love to, but I'm not claiming the gorilla. That'd be selfish!

>>140175297
Nicole, once again proving to be the MVP.

>>140175324
>Whoo!
She's so fucking cute, I can't.

>>140175428
No, that's just Spaz doing what he's always done for the covers.

>>140175414
>>140175442
So this is where these guys came from? Man, so early

>>140175428
yet when I post curvy Sally I get a warning and possibly a ban, cruel irony that it is...jokes aside yeah love how they're really giving her that nice figure I love

>>140175442
The Chaotix... defeated!
>>140175428
Spaz is a man of many talents. One of them being coom-inducing.

>>140175315
>Sonic has saved his and everyone's asses loads of times.
>Due to unfortunate events, Sonic gets turned into a robot against his will and blows up everything.
>Sonic and the newly robot Knuckles fight and supposedly die in an explosion.
>Everyone is heartbroken until it's shown that Sonic is okay.
>Antoine: "LAME! I wanted zee blue pédé dead!"
Lol, no, now I understand why Sonic constantly shits on this guy.

>>140175435
That is very true, that is also why omega is omitted from a lot of fan comics

>>140175485
The Chaotix... not defeated!

>>140175376
>ANTOOOOOOOOINE!
What a shit! I do get where he's coming from though. He thinks Sonic disobeyed a direct order and when his plan backfired everyone was almost killed
>>140175423
Nice!

>>140175442
The Simp of the Raiju Clan!!

>>140175219
Nicole don't be mean to Rotor.

>>140175518
Who's that? Could it be???
>>140175474
>Nicole, once again proving to be the MVP.
She's been racking up them W's.

>>140175518
oh hey, my dude's the Chaotix got a W for once

>>140175345
I know it makes Sonic look like an asshole, but considering that he felt like he deserved to die, it's probably a good thing that he doesn't have that trauma looming over him.

>>140175553
I claim the Mogul! Been waiting for this moment!

Damn, I gotta say the Destructix have some really nice designs and look even better later

>>140175376
... Meh. That's what Sonic gets for being a dick all the time.

>>140175553
ENTER VANDAL SAV-- I mean... MAMMOTH MOGUL
>>140175521
>What a shit! I do get where he's coming from though. He thinks Sonic disobeyed a direct order and when his plan backfired everyone was almost killed
Let's see how understanding you are in the next issue.

>>140175521
If you're mad now (and I suspect you're not, you're just pretending this shit is actually good) wait till you see the next issue, literally Antoine at his absolute worst.

>>140175553
Nicole really is one of the best character's through out the entirety of Archie through it's highs and lows

>>140175442
>This fucking guy!
Larry's hotter
>>140175553
>Who's that? Could it be???
Someone with a lot of black paint!

>>140175585
Last panel is unintentionally sex.

>>140175376
They really don't have to do this and Sonic can just explain it was Nack.

>>140175585
>he fought mobie
Do they meet again in this comic? I actually don't know.

>>140175297
Nicole really is so helpful, and a great character overall for an AI powered PDA.

>>140175585
I cant believe he first appears here

>>140175052
And now various animals will be mutated by the radiation and we'll have a proper Sonic/Godzilla crossover.

>>140175581
oh yeah, they're probably the characters that most feel in place with the Sonic cast even before they're drawn by Yardley, it does a lot to make them feel like a natural part of the setting and is half the fun of their characters besides being fun foes

>>140175619
>spends two pages talking about how great he is
>immediately gets slapped
That's quite the end to this.

>>140175577
Sold!
>>140175581
Yeah, they do look cool
>>140175585
There he is!
>Let's see how understanding you are in the next issue.
He's a complete shit in the next issue!

>>140175619
I like his matador look.

>>140175616
He does, but there's no proof, aside from the fact Nack's cell, which Antoine was supposed to be guarding instead of planning for his party, was empty.

>>140175659
Are you serious? Lmao he just leaves like that

>>140175659
Let's be real, Gallagher wrote most of the letters asking for this.
>>140175631
The origins for a lot of characters and other stuff is the craziest thing going through these earlier comics.

>>140175485
The Chaotix job again. What a surprise...

>>140175685
On the bright side, it's Gallagher at his most Gallagher. Oh, the puns are in full force!

So like, if this mogul guy is really old, do you think he at one point saw the earth break for the gaia thing and saw chip? Or in this comic, what about him and the echidnas, what did he think of them

>>140175587
He's somewhat justified in this issue, but it's nothing short of character assassination next issue
>>140175615
Some real cock confidence in that stance!
>>140175619
Some ancient Sonknux!

>>140175553
>>140175585
>Story by Kent Taylor, according to the opening credits
Is he Scott Fulop's name or what?
Also, IS THAT SUPERSTAR SENSATION [citation needed] MAMMOTH MOGUL?!

>>140175706
So is this the last vestiges of early-Archie lameness?

>>140175685
>Because YOU demanded it!...
I genuinely doubt this, but it's possible.

>>140175706
Big guy's on a trip, so maybe the new guy can fill in for him.

>>140175553
Oh no, not the shitty mammoth. Can we go back to Enerjobber?

>>140175733
In hindsight, probably not a good idea having all your people lined up on a cliff edge like that.

>>140175553
>>140175600
She's consistently great, regardless of who's writing. Though I just realized Penders never really used her much, if at all.

>>140175585
Oh wow, he is just literally a Vandal Savage expy. Like, it's even laid out in his first appearance, even.

>>140175715

He's used her a bit and he'll use her in the next issue.

What's with Archie Sonic comics and throwing motherfuckers off of cliffs?

>>140175619

It is somehow completely unsurprising that Mammoth Mogul was the Time Trapper at some point. Fuckin' everyone else has, so why not.

>>140175835

JEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!

>>140175858
Not enough pages to really do any better.

>>140175854
It was actually 10k years ago according to the game

>>140175880
At least Amy believes in Sonic!

>>140175880
Fuck that, Antoine should have been put on trial himself since Knothole being completely burned down to the ground was literally his fault.

>>140175715
Mogul created the Gaias, according to Ian.

>>140175758
Y'know, since they're not robots, that's actually pretty horrible when you think about it.

>>140175915
Gee Sally, why not just... break the rules?
>>140175886
More like SAAAAAAAAL!!!!!

>>140175297
PDA Nicole is a pretty good character.

>>140175915
Funny how that lines up with her (rightfully) believing in him in 2006 too.

>>140175918
>since Knothole being completely burned down to the ground was literally his fault.
Uh?
How?

>>140175942
I like Sonic yelling through the bars like that.

Seriously, why is Ant such an asshole here
>>140175915
what has she been doing this entire time?
>>140175934
Really? Where did he say that

>>140175961
It's the twink twins!
>>140175964
>Seriously, why is Ant such an asshole here
Jealousy and delusions of grandeur.

>>140175915
>>140175942
>Sally's Cheek tuft are gone
THERE IS A REAL CRIME GOING ON AND YOU ALL FOCUS ON THIS SHAM!

>>140175942
I've noticed how Sally really means well but all the beauratic crap/old rules in place sorta have her at wits end most of the time and cause her conflict with how often it impedes her and Sonic together or just what's right

>>140175825
I ship it!
>>140175880
Boo, if Sonic's going to be locked up, it should be in my basement!
>>140175899
Good point. The last Gaia cycle was 10k years ago, but they're supposed to happen every few million years, which is why Unleashed had Chip be an amnesiac. Of course, it'd be difficult to work the Gaia cycles into this continuity since the Xorda gene bomb was happening at the same time

>>140175942
>Daddy thought ahead
Oh wait, you're serious. Let me laugh harder.

>>140175991
It's funny how stupidly useless those two are past, present and future.

>>140175825
It's weird seeing Fang so much but I guess Triple Trouble is still a fresh game as of the comic's release time.

>>140175942
>Daddy always thought ahead...
>Except when Robotnik betrayed him!
LOL LMAO LMFAO

>>140175991
Damn, it seems only Rotor and Amy are completely against this.

>>140175880
>What I'll be is in your face
Sonic, we already had that special.

>>140176004
Sonic and Sally weren't meant to be, that's just how it went.

>>140175306
In the 80s and 90s America was terrified of Japan's economic growth to the point that anti-Japanese propaganda was pretty common in American media. We really did not want any other countries even approaching our level, let along equaling it.

>>140176036
Antoine's on the attack!

>>140176054
that's honestly half of why I love the ship, it feels like forces both in the setting and out of it tried to keep them apart as much as possible yet they kept on kicking and their feelings just couldn't die out for one another

If you guys think this is bad, do not read STC-O.

>>140175942
>>140176010
>>Daddy thought ahead
But he did. Maximilian is most effective when he isn't there.

>>140175942
>Gee Sally, why not just... break the rules?
She has enough people hating on her for made up bullshit. Best not to give them any more excuses by throwing away her integrity as an authority figure.

>>140176074
Can we at least court-martial Antoine as well?
>>140175992
Weird. Has Manak always drawn Sally without cheek tufts? I guess that's because of the old Sally design.

>>140175915
Amy? Best girl.

>>140176058
Which is a funny notion, considering Sonic's a Japanese IP.

>>140176036
I can see the headlines now
>SONIC GUILTY, WILL GET DEATH
>JJJ WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG

>>140175915
>At least Amy believes in Sonic!
Good for her!
>>140175934
lmao, you have to be kidding
>>140175950
And in SA2
>>140175961
>I like Sonic yelling through the bars like that.
It's pretty cute

>>140176074
Would you guys say this is charatcer assasination for Antoine, yes or no?

>>140176103
Sonic's on the case!

>>140175964
>Really? Where did he say that
His old Bumbleking forum. In the Archie Sonic Encyclopedia, Mogul also created Solaris and Chaos.

>>140175414
I miss the Destructix so much.

>>140176103
Has anybody ever pestered Ian about wether or not Antoine was reprimended for any of this?

>>140175619
not gonna happen. Genesis Waves destroy you

>>140176125
Thanks Spaz for letting us reuse your art this issue.
>>140176120
>jjj
>all smiles

>>140176125
Sally is being incredibly generous considering what the crime he is being held over his head, good on her

>>140176128
The fuck? There is no way he did that. They are way more powerful than he is

>>140176124
Hardly, this kind of shit was perfectly normal for Antoine, this is just the first time it was ever in a non-humorous situation.

And wow this art does not suit the story at all.

>>140176124
Yeah! I would. He's actually been a pretty good character up to now.
This won't compare to the nasty stabbing Sally will be getting down the line, though.

>>140175961
... In contrast to Twan taking far too much pleasure in getting back at Sonic, Sally is actually pretty great here.

>>140175518
Think they got Mighty and Espio reversed here.

>>140176152
These must be some badass badniks!
>>140176124
Not really IMO because it mostly gets swept away and he gets better because of this.

>>140176100
People wouldn't shit on her for breaking the rules when Sonic is Innocent.

>>140176125
>Bunnie is ready to throw the fuck down
Rematch?

>>140176196
Caterkiller? Classic.
>>140176158
She wouldn't even be trying him if Antoine didn't start this.

>>140176152
>some of these drawings are not like the others,
>some of these drawings doesn't belong,

>>140175991
>It's the twink twins!
Plap and Plap!
>>140176036
Nice outfit on Sally
>>140176074
It is pretty funny

>>140176196
>he gets better because of this.

Antoine gets better yes, but this has nothing to do with that. His poor judgement involved in this whole mess is never brought up again.

>>140176196
Wait a minute... A place where abandoned badniks go? Where have I heard that before

>>140176036
Sonic must be thinking he'd be really turned on by her getup if he wasn't on trial at the moment

>>140176218
Everyone's here! Even Crabmeat!
>>140176175
Antoine at his pettiest but there are some positive things that will come from this. Like how he handles things in court.

>>140176253
Pin-up of Sonic beating up badniks.

>>140176218
>>140176253
What are your guys fave classic badniks?

>>140176036
Tails too. You can see who Sonic's actual friends are. I know Sonic (allegedly) disobeyed orders, by why act so antagonistic like he never saved everyone loads of times before? Cut the hog some slack.

>>140176253
>Like how he handles things in court.

Yeah right, as if that helps at all.

>>140176274
From tough joint to another. What's next? The Salty Spittoon?

>>140176253
Always funny seeing Splats in early issues when it never appeared in the games until ages later.

>>140176281
Neutron and turtloid are up there besides the obvious choices, Slicer also has a great design

>>140176097
lmao, we already did. It's pretty good
https://the-ride.neocities.org/comics/2023-01-06-sonic-the-comic-online/
>>140176124
I'd say it's more they needed someone to play prosecutor and Antoine fit best/ They do clear things up pretty quickly

>>140176302
Gallagher loves using this move.
>>140176234
Endgame and even earlier touches on Antoine being jealous and not liking Sonic.

>>140175837
Considering I was proven right about someone reimagining Fly Fly Freddy, I'm almost positive there's probably someone who modernized Eel Capone out there somewhere

It's weird hearing classic being used in a sonic thing before Generations. the good ol days...

>>140176281
Katerkiller is a favorite of mine. There is just something about the way he looks and the way he moves...

>>140175960
He was planning a party instead of watching Nack, which is how the weasel escaped.

>>140176302
Nack was puffed up as such a bad motherfucker in his early appearances. He became such a dork later.

>>140176343
Get Nack!
>>140176296
Fucking Naugus.

>>140176074
Was Antoine like this in SatAM? The pure hostility from this coyote.

>>140176357
if no one does then I will comm it and slap him in my AU, gotta have some street level villains for the Chaotix to face

>>140176374
I claim that cigar-chomping gator!

>>140176359
I guess Sonic 1 is technically classic in the eyes of the comic now as it's like 5 years later.

>>140176302
>third panel
That's... a bit extreme. I get you've been having a bad day, but yeesh.

>>140176302
Sonic is lucky machines aren't people, or his torturing of the badnik to clear his name would have resulted in being tried for war crime.

>>140176374
Get Nacked!
>>140176365
You should see the Caterkiller OC from Hydro. Sandy is a cutie!

>>140176302
>formerly C

>>140176414
Nack fit really nicely in this comic

>>140175345
Bunnie and Knuckles both did well. And hey - at least Sonic isn't suicidal anymore!

>>140176414
Robotnik back at the literal drawing board.
>>140176375
Just as petty but mostly harmless since he couldn't do anything right.

>>140176375
Yes, but it was very impotent aggression because he was a blatant tool who was never supposed to be taken seriously, and the only reason he was taken along on missions was to be a plot device for something to screw up.

>>140176414
Fang really is outmatching Sonic at every step here, maybe there is a Nackforce in canon

>>140176128
It's not in the encyclopedia, that just says he creates the Order of Ixis
>>140176253

>>140176439
Stowaway!

>>140176458
>sneed

How would every other Sonic handle this situation? I know Game Sonic would just break out regardless of the consequences and Fleetway would just be shitting on the whole process even harder than Archie Sonic.

>>140176407
He better hope Nicole never finds out about this.

>>140176414
Seriously, Maurice? You jobbed to Nack, TWICE?

>>140175414
Claiming Predator Hawk and Guerilla. I can fix them!

>>140176475
Robotropolis just can't catch a break.

>>140176439
Bit of a coloring issue on 'Nik's left boot. Wonder if that was in the original, too.

>>140176508
that's a pretty great joke on this page

>>140176508
Sonic finally gets a win against Nack!

>>140176502
>and Guerilla
Theres a person out there who claimed him before you. Im not kidding

>>140176488
>How would every other Sonic handle this situation?

AOSTH-Sonic would quip and hightail it out of Knothole, leaving the fucking morons to figure things out for themselves. OVA-Sonic would do the same thing, just without quipping.

Game-Sonic would go out and find Nack with or without Sally's approval, bring him back, then flip everybody off for not believing in him and wish them the best in dealing with Robotnik on their own.

>>140176508
I lol'd

>>140176450
I know in the encyclopedia there were said to be a certain number of Ixis works he created and Solaris and Chaos were suggested to be one of them.

>>140176508
Anyone remember Biker Mice from Mars? Cause I am starting to see a similar a pattern, with Robotropolis.

>>140176414
lmao
>>140176451
nacK the Weasel

>>140176529
See? No hard feelings! Well, there seem to be some feelings between Sonic and Sally. And maybe later something hard for her.

>>140176508
It's kind of insane that Robotropolis has been nuked at least twice. Possibly three times if we count this page.

>>140176574
Sally is lucky Sonic is a guy whos always in the now

>>140176574
Lets workshop Antoine's punishment.

If this was an actually-serious story, what would happen to Antoine after Nack is debriefed and confirms Antoine wasn't doing his job guarding him?

>>140176574
And now for some Penderskino! I'll see how long I can pretend being ironic in this.

>>140176604
At least the tufts are back.

>>140176604
If I remember correctly, this issue is a complete mind fuck to read and Ill be confused again

>>140176604
Quite the place to be doing that, Sonic.

>>140176604
>Penders comes back to the main book
>immediately Geoffrey
... Sigh. I already tire of this shit.

>>140176560
That just makes no sense, those are legitimate deities. Not even the Ancient Walkers would have that much power

>>140176604
Honestly dude? You're already pretty exhausting. Maybe cut down on it.

>>140176625
If I ever see Sonic looking like that in the second panel in real life, I'd mace him and run away screaming.

>>140176619
>>140176648
Also, we get to enjoy some great Spaz art.

If only Sonic was an assassin...
>>140176638
Geoffrey is insufferable but less for macking on Sally and more for his interactions with Sonic.

>>140176647
Why do you keep complaining?

>>140176648
I had a feeling this was a Goldeneye reference.

>>140176693
still gag jokes in it.

>>140176700
I hope you like Geoffrey mouthing off, Sonic being mad, and Sally not doing much to stop the arguing.

>>140176625
>Quite the place to be doing that, Sonic.
This is literally the opening of Goldeneye
>>140176703
I'm guessing he has a crush on the Konductor

>>140176700
Hasta La Vista count: 2

>>140176700
It's impressive to be insufferable before your sentence is finished

>>140176727
Geoffrey seems to love being the antagonist despite supposedly being an ally. Surely I'm mistaken and he's perfectly fine calling out Sonic!

>>140176756
I feel like Sonic should've thrashed Geoffrey. But a lot of people job to this bloke.

>>140176756
Geoffrey would rather wake up and smell the pussy. Underage pussy, btw ;)

>>140176781
And there they go! With Geoffrey... to save Max... Please fail.

>>140176781
Look at rotors face

>>140176648
Damn, he's not even being subtle about the Bond references now
>If I ever see Sonic looking like that in the second panel in real life, I'd mace him and run away screaming.
I'd have a very different reaction!
>>140176708
Penders is a massive Bond fan
>>140176727
>I hope you like Geoffrey mouthing off
Oh the things I'd do to that mouth!

>>140176727
>>140176781
>>140176801
Honestly, these Rotors suck so bad!

>>140176781
Ok the first panel just shows me Sonic could snap his neck before he realised it

>>140176727
>I hope you like Geoffrey mouthing off, Sonic being mad, and Sally not doing much to stop the arguing.
What's funny is that I've been doing my occasional re-reading of Girl Genius, even though the love triangle dynamic is nearly identical, it's not annoying as sin. Maybe it's because mostly for comedy instead of incredibly tedious drama.

>>140176801
Tall Max is tall.
>>140176732
>This is literally the opening of Goldeneye
Gallagher likes making references. Penders can't help himself and just copies stuff from movies and shows.

>>140176604
what's with the cleavage window on sally? it's like her fur is a bra

>>140176832
Wait, what?

>>140176860
>>140176621
And here we go!

>>140176825
That's just default Rotor.

>>140176860
>>140176883
Oh fuck I was right, its schizo time

>>140176801
LEAVE MAX & GEOFFREY IN THE FUCKING VOID

>>140176883
Now what's going on?
>>140176838
Because it's hot and Spaz is based and a man of culture.

>>140176825
Pretty cool that he can swivel his head around 180 like an owl though
>>140176832
>Gallagher likes making references. Penders can't help himself and just copies stuff from movies and shows.
Even that "boys with toys" is a line from the movie
>>140176860
>magnanimous
Fun fact: the editor has to put in a definition for this when he uses it again in the Knuckles comic

>>140176883
Seriously, why are we meant to like stinky here? Sonic can have an attitude but he's never this antagonistic for no reason

>>140176911
Imagine getting mogged by another artist in your own issue.

>>140176934
Again. Now what's going on?

>>140176906
And throw in Locke too!
>>140176934
>Imagine getting mogged by another artist in your own issue.
lmao

>>140176781
With this panel, I would like to remind everyone that Geoffrey has kissed Sally around three times and Sonic hasn't even done it once. Sonic is even framed as noodle armed and weak while Geoffey's muscular. Penders 100 percent has a cuck fetish

>>140176956
Second panel looking kind of gay, not gonna lie.
>>140176929
Because he's Penders' Poochie. Notice how nobody else uses him but he'll get used by other writers later on.

>>140176971
I'm a Sonamy fan. Always have been since Sonic CD.

That's all I have to say to that.

>>140176883
For someone who's supposed to be a creator's pet, Geoffrey sure is acting like an asshole for no reason.

>>140176906

>>140176988
Oh no!
>>140176971
In a weird way, I think Penders still defaults to Sonic and Sally being a couple. He did give us Light Mobius and will continue to work on that. Also, he puts an end to the love triangle himself. He's just really bad at doing this kind of subplot. And probably does have a cuck fetish.

>>140176971
Didn't even have a good fetish like Hypno, what a creepy weirdo

>>140177028
Everyone keeps getting thrown around with barely a chance to figure out what's going on.
>>140177008
Geoffrey is the rival. Penders is really pushing it and having his actions get forgiven too easily.

>>140177052
All they can do is hang on and exchange snarky comments.

Yep, im confused on whats even happening here

>>140177076
Tell them I hate them!

>>140176988
I'm surprised Poto/Flynn didn't have Geoffrey eat shit since he was still worfing characters under his pen

>>140177096
Perders tries for high concept stories, but doesn't hae the skill to pull them off. Essentially, time's all messed up in this zone and Max is hallucinating things

>>140177101
>snake: his daughter?
>>140177096
Basically Max got taken in by a bunch of ayy lmaos and made into their knight and the zone is collapsing and everyone is seeing the past.

>>140177137
Hit him again, Sonic!

>>140177116
>>140177076
I love this Smartass Nicole.

>>140177137
heh.....

>>140177159
Deja vu?
>>140177102
Geoffrey gets fucked up when Ian gets to him.

>>140177102
I guess he figured turning him into a minion of Naugus was more interesting
>>140177159
>Hit him again, Sonic!
Highlight of the issue!

>>140177137
>Father, it's me, Sally. I'm your kid!
>I have one of those? ... Oh god, I have TWO of those!

>>140177183
Again! Again!
>>140177174
Proof that anyone can write a good Nicole. Even Penders.

>>140177201
And they saved Max! FUCK! Anyway, that's it for today! Tomorrow at 7pm EST we're doing Gallagher's Sonic Quest miniseries!

>>140177159
KILL HIM. FOR MOBIUS.

>>140177183
>Deja vu?
Notice how the editor has to step in to explain things?
>>140177201
Move over Sally, Geoffrey's got the hots for Sonic!

>>140177196
>Two?!

>>140177188
He wasn't wrong as making him an antagonist did help him be a more complex and directly a character on some level we're not meant to like

>>140177218
Thanks a lot, conductor. I enjoyed Mecha madness a lot.

>>140177218
Ugh.

I'm convinced anybody who unironically enjoys Archie-Sonic suffers from stockholm syndrome.

>>140177246
No, just from Mecha-Madness and a bit of spaz.

>>140177246
There's stuff to actually like in the comic, I don't say it's all crap just cause of a few moments or periods where the comics quality is rough before it starts getting good again

>>140177218
Is this the first we hear of Dr. Quack?
>Issue 41
Endgame approaches... But still some specials and a mini series to go.

Sounds more like IDW threads.

>>140176604

>>140177218
Little did our heroes realize that this would be a huge mistake.

>>140177201
>Proof that anyone can write a good Nicole. Even Penders.
To be fair, at this point she is more or less just a sassy AI sidekick. It's kinda hard to fuck that up. Granted, "Try prayer." is one of the rawest lines in the entire comic.

>>140177218
Oh. Yaaay. Max is, um. Alive. GODDAMMIT, OGLIVE MAURICE HEDGEHOG.

>>140177218
Mecha Madness grams and stuff

>>140177285
Counting the minis and specials, 14 issues before issue 47.

>>140177297
Then why are you in a thread for Sonic?, sounds more like masochism to be here for something you don't like

>>140177321

>>140177218
Thanks Konductor!
>Sonic Quest miniseries!

>>140177238

FTFY. Frankly, the idea that anyone enjoys anything fills me with disgust. Why can't they see being jaded and cynical is so much cooler?

>>140177312
For some reason. Why was he even in this issue? He didn't do crap.

>>140176727
Geoffrey looks like he's worked out a little and gotten rid of his pudge.

>>140177341

It's obvious Penders hated working on the comic and having to write Sonic in particular, he created Geoffrey solely to have a way to vent his anger.

>>140177448
Damn!
>>140177537
If you're a fan of their work, here's a recording of one of their live gigs with some unreleased tracks

>>140174785
I think, if nothing else; Sally fooled around with Knux as a form of rebellion. At least touched him inappropriately while their parents were in the same room but not watching.

>>140177218
Thanks Conductor. Mecha Madness was indeed great and I can see why people love it to this day, plus these issues were also pretty good too. Max being saved from the Zone of Silence will start a bit of a domino effect now.

>>140176781
I love how Stink's one and only expression is a smarmy Dreamworks face, like hi species evolved to gaze upon the world with built-in bitchfaces.

>>140174919
>... Huh. Knuckles is FAR more cooperative about this plan than I expected.
The Guardian must not hesitate.

>>140175238
>Oh god Sonic's de-Wait, are we within Fallout radii? WE NEED TO MOVE! CRY WHILE MOVING! CRY WHILE MOVING! GO GO GO!

Made this edit on the last thread.

>>140178094
I dont get the joke

>>140175306
This is some time after the "Thaw" so cheap Chinese Crap is flooding the US and Planned Obsolence is hitting the computer hardware industry like a freight train.

Fuck, this special is still so good.

The last hurrah for Archie.

>>140177218
Thanks a bunch, conductor. Nothing beats a good clash of robotics.

>sonic is captured and turned into a robot

>sonic is arrested and has to prove his innocence

I can't believe how much stuff happens in these comics in such a short amount of time.

>>140178621
That is some really nice fan art

>>140178621
We're at the point where everything is building towards Endgame.

>>140178747
Yeah you can really feel the loose ends tying.

>>140178621
>>140178697
That's by Tazi-San, a really nice artist that was mostly active in the 90s and 00s. Some of her art's archived here: https://www.deviantart.com/tazi-dono and a full archive is in the mega

Looks like Manik-kino's back on the menu!

>>140176643
It's not that crazy, Mogul at his full power is a universe killer, even Solaris doesn't compare to Master Mogul.
In any case, it wasn't confirmed he did or didn't. All we knew was that Mogul made 7 elemental monsters, which may or may not be some of the various deities seen throughout the series.

>Max getting saved from the Zone of Silence
>Mogul enters the scene
>Sonic became Metal Sonic for a entire issue before his billionth ring deus ex machina'd him back to mobian form
Feels like a lot of things are happening at once.

>>140178124
The joke is that you're underaged.

>>140179440
Master Moggul's definitely one of the most powerful beings in the comics, but he never gets to that level until the present. Back when he would have created those elemental monsters, he was only a powerful magic user with a single Chaos Emerald
>>140179609
One of the best things about Archie is how fast paced it can get. Modern comics tend to write for the 4 issue trade paperback, so their plot gets stretched out
>>140179787
Lies Tails! Lies!

>>140178621
As opposed to IDW where barely anything happens.

Let's take a look at Penders' latest comic THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS, available for pre-order now!
>Hardcover Format
>Approximately 160 pages
>Full color
>Size: Approximately 8” x 10.5″
>Publisher: Floating Island Productions
>Language: English
>Reading Age: 12 and older

>The contents will consist of the MOBIUS: 25 YEARS LATER stories originally published in Archie’s SONIC THE HEDGEHOG series issues 131 thru 144, with one exception. The last page of the story THE DIE IS CAST that appeared in SONIC issue 144 has been replaced with all-new material that continues into the all-new story THE STORM, which features Geoffrey St John and Constable Remington. This story in turn leads into the all-new opening chapter of THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: SHATTERED TOMORROWS. In addition, there will be character Data Files of some of the major players in the stories.

We have 160 pages of this on offer, but how much of it is new? Let's find out!

>>140180924
Well start by adding up the pages from Mobius 25 Years Later:
131, 12
132, 6
133, 6
134, 6
135, 6
136, 6
137, 8
138, 8
139, 6
140, 6
141, 6
142, 6
143, 13
144, 11
Total: 106 pages, not including covers.

That leaves 54 pages for THE STORM and character Data Files. There are 10 characters on the cover (Julie-Su and Lara-Su appear twice), so we can expect at least 10 pages of character bios. We can also expect at least another 10 for locations, lore, and maps so the leaves 34 pages. Assuming he's counting contents pages and other fluff, we can expect THE STORM to be 24-28 pages. Now, the real question: In the 10+ years he's been working on this comic actually have produced that many pages of original art?

>>140180924
>>140180959
No way this shit is actually coming out

>>140179986
>>140179864
Yeah, the pacing in IDW is just excruciating. 20 issues for the Metal Virus, 7 and a mini for Surge and Kit's introductory arc, and entire pages of Belle and Whisper sobbing about their boring backstories.

Compare it to Mark Waid and Geoff Johns Flash run, where every arc is six issues at most.

>>140180924
>actually selling archie comics
If Sega has any balls they'll wait for him to start and then sue his ass. Penders is allowed to use the characters he claimed but they can't look like Sonic characters. He sure as hell can't sell the comic pages.

>>140180982
He's definitely working on it, pic related. Also:
>Reading Age: 12 and older
And yet, I'm having to censor some of the saddest looking tits!
>>140181028
It's sadly not even an IDW thing, the entire industry's getting like this now. It's fucking excruciating
>>140181059
Oh they're definitely waiting! I'm kinda surprised they haven't sued already since people can spend money on it. Sonic and Knuckles appear in most of these issues, and a simple name change won't be enough to fix things. There's no way he's going to go to the effort of drawing over them! I do wonder if those hardworking artists that worked on MXYL will see any money for this. Surely it can't be that only Penders' rights matter!

>>140177183
Notice that, once out of Sonic's earshot, Geoff quickly admits to Sonic's competency. He's a stinker, but he's just putting on a show.

>>140181194
>He's definitely working on it
>Press x to doubt
But seriously, why in the hell does penders think that art style is ok. Sometimes I think he is just shit posting with that shit

>>140177246
When literally everything that's come after it (and a good portion of what Sega of Japan was doing during) is noticeably worse, it's easy to look on Archie fondly.

>>140181281
It honestly looks like a really well put together shitpost on Penders' worst habits. The too detailed yet blurry dodge and burn, the bizarre facial expressions, the most hackneyed dialog, and the stock photo collage backgrounds are all there.
He spends so much time taking shortcuts with his art it'd be far easier to just do it properly and maybe hire an inker/colorist to finish it off. Frankly he can afford it, his wife's loaded and if he hadn't burnt all his bridges with the fandom there'd be heaps of aspiring artists that would've worked for almost nothing

>>140181433
Penders is just a lazy cunt lol but I do hope it actually comes out so we can all laugh at it

>>140181433
One has to wonder what exactly he's been doing for the last decade if at this point he still needs shortcuts like photoshopped background.
Ten years isn't enough time to draw a fucking waterfall?

>>140181456
Same! I'm hoping someone else is going to buy a copy because I'm honestly worried that if I did he'd sue since literally no one else bought a copy
>>140181478
Pic related may give some answers (and again, I must censor some of the saddest breasts I've ever seen). Instead of picking 3-4 main colors and then shading-highlighting consistently, he's using thirty (30) different fucking colors for just one character

Kek
>>140181574
wtf is that color guide that is stupid

>>140181194
>It's sadly not even an IDW thing, the entire industry's getting like this now. It's fucking excruciating
Yeah, that's part of the reason I've stopped reading a lot of modern comic books. They think that having everything drag on for twenty issues makes it more "epic" or something, and then since nobody reads their lame comics, they get cancelled after about 2-3 arcs and the entire thing was a waste.

Hell, even post-reboot Archie, as much fun as the worldbuilding was, had this flaw. I think Ian Flynn was trying to use the "Unleashed" arc to introduce the whole new world, but it meant that they only ever got through one arc before cancellation.

>>140181666
Manga style decompression is a blight

All of the super-powerful characters the comic created over the years, and still none of them even come close to the franchise's most powerful being.

>>140181786
Titan Tails literally would make Solaris his bitch

>>140181786
Enerjak nodiffs

>>140181794
Solaris can unmake space, time, and reality at a whim. All Titan Tails can do is fire eye lasers and WHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

>>140181818
>points at enerjak
>enerjak vanishes from existence

>>140181666
>Hell, even post-reboot Archie, as much fun as the worldbuilding was, had this flaw. I think Ian Flynn was trying to use the "Unleashed" arc to introduce the whole new world, but it meant that they only ever got through one arc before cancellation.
At least there were plenty of smaller arcs like the Champions story and we had the Egg Bosses. And there was also Sonic Universe.

>>140181647
I'm not even an artist an I can tell it's messed up. Also, here's the picture he traced both of those from. Notice the lack of lopsided eyebrows on the actual photo? Penders sure didn't!
>>140181666
Yeah, I've given up for the same reason. Fun fact: the Fantastic Four meet and defeat Galactus in 3 issues, with time enough spare to send the Human Torch off to college. Post-boot was definitely the start of the decompression, but it really took off under IDW
>>140181786
He was snuffed out of existence by a 17 year old girl. At full power he is the strongest being in the games though
>>140181818
Dark Mobius Enerjak would, but all the others are too stupid to use their power effectively

>>140181786
>>140179440

>>140181834
>Solaris can unmake space, time, and reality at a whim.
lolno

>>140181834
He has the power of the multiverse. Solaris is DEAD

>>140181875
If Enerjak and Mogul were so powerful, why couldn't they stop themselves from being erased by the Super Genesis Wave?

We're going to get more talk like this the further we get into the series. Titan Tails, Chaos Knuckles, Knucklesjak, Super ADAM, etc. And then Eggman does a Super Genesis Wave and shuts everyone up.

>>140181920
Legal court reasons is even more powerful lul

>>140181920
Super Genesis Wave created a new reality, Enerjak and Mongul remained in the old one, duh!

Besides, Solaris jobbed to something way more embarrassing.

>>140181941
>they are all poofed into the void
>Solaris endures

lol

>>140181972
Well, at the end of 06, he doesnt even exist, so they all lose to non existence

>I will entertain offers to license the character Scourge starting November 1, 2023.
I'm honestly tempted to outright buy Remington off this waste of space. He deserves better! Seriously though, anyone who gives money to Penders is being scammed

>>140181972
>>Solaris endures
Is that why he was retconned out of the very game he debuted in?

>>140181970
Three super hedgehogs is embarrassing?

>>140181996
Magical girl wishes is embarrassing, though losing to Game Silver and Game Shadow is pretty sad in the first place.

>>140182017
Game Silver and Game Shadow are powerful tho

>>140182040
lmao

>>140182048
What's so funny about that?

Blaze can beat all your favorites in a fight.

>>140182063
What's not funny about it?
>>140182103
Game Blaze? Before she was retconned into being Silver's arm candy, maybe.

>>140182206
I mean stuff like pic related, and shadow is basically equal to game Sonic so automatically puts him as pretty powerful. Care to explain why they aren't in your eyes?

>>140181994
DESU, there's not much point introducing Scourge in modern Sonic. Surge would've actually been a decent replacement if they hadn't had her job 3 times in a row.

>>140182394
Scourge jobbed every single time he showed up. All villains job. It's the reason they exist.

>>140182427
Scourge managed to beat up Sonic and even Shadow at different points, and at one point powered up to Super Scourge and beat the shit out of pretty much the whole cast. He eventually lost, but he got a few wins in before the heroes brought him down.

I'm not saying he needs to be brought back, but Surge should have at least smacked around Sonic and his friends a bit before losing, as opposed to getting bucketed and then accidentally blowing a fuse.

>>140182479
The power of Sega mandates. In Archie Eggman was allowed victories as long as they were undone soon after and Sonic got a win. Now Sega won't allow Sonic to suffer even a temporary defeat.

>>140182521
Say you think the Ride can pinpoint the exact issue those mandates actually started taking effect?

>>140182394
Yeah, she's clearly tomboy Scourge. Shame they never gave her any wins, however small
>>140182479
>He eventually lost, but he got a few wins in before the heroes brought him down.
That's how it should be done. We all know the heroes will win, but making t effortless makes it boring
>>140182521
Even the most stringent mandates would have left enough wiggle-room for Surge to get some wins. Stuff like stealing something the heroes were protecting and holding them off long enough to get away while the heroes save civilians. The heroes still win, but Surge wouldn't have lost

>people still think that any of these supergoofuses are anywhere near as powerful as Larry Lynx

How many more issues until Sally dies and doesn't come back?

>>140183314
over 250 issues

>>140181818
>Make him enter a spaceship and then launch him into space.
Defeated.

>>140183203
Exactly! Nothing compares to his ability to jinx things
>>140183314
You already mussed it. Sally was bumped off in her own miniseries and replaced with a robot duplicate at least she was until the editors told Penders to knock it off. Fun fact: he tries this again during Endgame
>>140183380
You don't even need to go that far. He was defeated by his own building collapsing down on him

>>140175485
The Chaotix really need a W.

>>140175553
>>140175585
ENTER MAMMOTH MOGUL

>>140175577
>claiming Mogul
Your funeral

>>140175619
>Mobie fought against Mogul
What the shit? They really should have used him more if that's the case.

>>140175659
Mogulbros...

>>140175715
No, he's way, way, WAY too young for that. I'd be shocked if he even knew what the Gaias are.

>>140175706
These puns would critically poison even Carlos to death.

>>140175880
Antoine you cunt.

>>140175915
Amy remains the best.

>>140175942
>Daddy always thought ahead
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>140175991
Claiming those judges.

>>140176074
For the love of God, Antoine. Chill.

>>140176124
No, not exactly. Whilst it's true that Antoine has been mostly pleasant to everyone up until now, the burgeoning resentment to Sonic was there from the beginning. This is just him finding an excuse to pop off.

>>140176196
>ultimate weapon of destruction
Oh boy!

>a place where all of Robotnik's used and obsolete badniks go
I'm sure none of them resent him at all for this.

>>140176253
Crabmeat bros, we're back!

>>140176281
Motobug and Crabmeat.

>>140176343
Claiming that gorilla!

>>140176375
Yes. Arguably moreso, but it was tempered by him being a literal retard who failed at absolutely everything.

>>140176414
NACKFORCE STRIKES AGAIN

>>140176488
Wachowski would gripe about the process, then leave the second he sees the literal kangaroo court, grab Nack and force him to fess up on pain of death to clear his name, then throw a ring and leave them all to handle Robotnik on their lonesome. He's probably the most likely version of Sonic to just leave them out to dry despite his love of heroism.

>>140176537
>there are other Simian simps out there
Filthy love rivals!

>>140176508
If only that killed him.

>>140176601
Stuck in a gimp suit for two months.

>>140176643
The Ancient Walkers are completely united with the Chaos Force. To a level that only the original Enerjak, Master Mogul (juiced on a fraction of the power of the former), and Titan Taild ever superceded and are thusly capable of influencing an entire infinite multiverse + its respective higher realms within the Chaos Force. And if the Mega Man crossover is anything to go by, then Chaos Energy isn't limited to affecting just one multiverse either.

They may have started out as mortals, but they were (and are) amongst the most powerful things in the entire franchise.

>>140176727
Geoffrey's mouth could certainly be filled with something other than snark.

>>140176801
Can we just kill them both and say some Void monstrosity ate them? Please?

>>140183468
We've hit the bump limit so it's Larryposting time!
>>140184273
Yeah, they're nominally the most powerful beings, it's just that we never get to see them actively use their power. That and they got killed pretty easily, although that was clearly for plot reasons
>>140184291
There's a surprising amount of art on that subject

>>140176860
>>140176883
Max is fucking losing it.

>>140184364
For a guy with bad luck, he's pretty good at dodging arrows

>>140176934
>If you want charm, see me later
Nicole is so fucking sassy in these early issues.

>>140184377
It's a little odd seeing him with a twink bodytype, but not unwelcome!

>>140184211
There's an artist that ships her OC with him.

Man mecha madness would have sucked without spaz

>>140176988
>it looks like a storm is coming
Vergil is in the Zone of Silence?

>>140184388
And that's all the Larrys from this artist! All the Larrys suitable for a blue board anyway
>>140184393
Huh. I guess every character really is someone's waifu/husbando
>>140184405
He was carrying most of it, but a few of the other artists could have done a decent job

>>140184418
That guy goes to a lot of places to get more power

>>140177076
>Try prayer
Thank you, Nicole. Very helpful.

>>140184429
Of course, this artist also does some nice Elias'!

>>140184418
>>140184437
I'm half-tempted to pull a K6BD and just insert a tiny Vergil into random Archie panels.

>>140184444
>that look
>and those quimts
I'd let him fuck me.

>>140184444
He's so cool bros

>>140184453
Oh my!
>>140184452
>I'd let him fuck me.
Oh to be the royal consort dutifully servicing the Acorn line!

>>140184429
You'd think this artist would've drawn Larry in "casual" attire aka nothing at some point.

>>140177159
DEATH TO MAX

>>140184471
He looks a bit perturbed
>>140184472
Artist is "How did I get here" and there are definitely more Larrys to look at!

>>140184472
Given the VERY visible bulge, I'm not sure that would fly on a blue board.

>>140184485
Knuckles is right, goggles do make your chest look bigger!

>>140184498
I'd certainly follow him!
>>140184495
That's just how these sort of clothes sit, it's no different to Superman or Batman's costumes!

>>140177218
THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT HIM TO DIE

>>140184516
And that's the last Elias!

>>140179787
Tails what the fuck are you talking about?

>>140184523
For those wondering, he does draw them without the suits. Look at that gangsta!
>>140184485
>How did I get here
Meant to say artist is "How did we get here." Whoops!

>>140184534
I thought this one was cute

>>140184544
Of course, there's ones with them clothed too!

>>140181059
He isn't even allowed to use the characters. He only has trademarks for the names, and just barely - Sega legally owns everything ever done under Archie for their brand so even if he just limited it to characters he created for Archie, he'd probably still get fucked. Especially because he's using Sega's own echidna designs for his shitty "comic".

Basically, Penders is absolutely fucked and he's too much of a narcissist to see it.

>>140178826
Where is the mega link?

>>140184485
Well I looked him up.
He definitely has certain kinks for sure.

>>140181786
Enerjak, The End (ignoring Ian's contradictory claims on the Bumblekast that is), the Ancient Walkers, Master Mogul, Titan Tails (eugh) all clown over Solaris. Solaris is like, the sixth most powerful thing in the franchise if you include them.

>>140182650
Around Adventure 1, I want to say. That's about the time Sega started noticing what Archie was doing more and more.

>>140181996
The End at full power needed five things that could kill Super Forms outright + an entire reality powered by the Chaos Emeralds just to barely seal it away. The Dark Dragon in Superstars can outright kill (an admittedly weaker) Classic Super Sonic in an instakill move.

Solaris can damage Super Forms and needed three at once to stun it, but it can't actually kill them instantly in one go.

>>140184364
Angry Larry!

>>140184558
I think I'll end it here. Highly recommend checking the artist out if you're in to Mobians in skintight outfits
>>140184569
Even if he owned the likenesses, he'd have to make them sufficiently distinct from Sega's characters that the average Joe wouldn't confuse them. If he does reprint MXYL unaltered, one of the characters is literally an on model Sonic with a crown
>>140184585
It's in the other thread, you should be able to find it through the links in the op
>>140184591
Yeah, not a fan of all of it, but the stuff I do like sure is cute! It's also nice that he doesn't take things too seriously
>>140184643
He's had it with all of that bad luck!

>>140184650
Oh, and here's one for the Sally fans/haters
