I quite like the art for this series. I think Galan has gotten better.

>>140251431
>Question
I surprisly like him. He’s all about his job but seems to question some stuff so I’d like to see where that goes. Stc Knux is my fave tho

>Dark Legion
At last. It is time.

>Question: What do you think of Archie Knuckles so far?
Okay, I guess. Pretty much what you'd expect, really.

>>140251452
man that's awful to look at

>>140251452
WORDS
>>140251455
I always found it jarring seeing Knuckles portrayed as an idiot outside of both comics.

>>140251482
ENTER THE FATHER OF THE YEAR
>>140251467
Oh yeah!
>>140251469
>Okay, I guess. Pretty much what you'd expect, really.
Really? Because this and STC Knuckles are pretty abnormal compared to the usual.

>>140251482
Says a lot when the non canon knuckles both dab on canon knuckles

>>140251502
Just in case you didn't know, it is indeed the Dark Legion.
>>140251473
What's the matter, don't like the Virtual Boy-esque image?

>>140251431
>Question
The plot's a bit dumber than I remember, but Knuckles is still very likable
>>140251502
>ENTER THE FATHER OF THE YEAR
I would, but we all know that's Max's job!

Muh technology

>>140251525
We see more of Archimedes' conflicted loyalty to father and son.
>>140251513
Archie Knuckles is a capable leader. Definitely wouldn't sign off on Big Wave.

>>140251551
Like the last mini, this one has an interesting artistic choice. Some transitions between time periods reuses poses of characters.

>>140251525
at least the virtual boy had the decency of using black so it's readable and easier on the eyes
light gray and saturated red do not go well together

>>140251502
>Really? Because this and STC Knuckles are pretty abnormal compared to the usual.
Granted, this version isn't a drooling moron, but still.

>>140251571
Robotnik should seriously sue. Then again, these were made a long ass time ago so maybe he'll get sued.
>>140251537
>The plot's a bit dumber than I remember, but Knuckles is still very likable
It's pretty small scale from what I remember.

>>140251551
I can’t believe they made big wave a thing. Knuckles will literally escape the retard alleiigations

>>140251596
Sorry kid but your dad got killed by ants and his own tower falling on him.
>>140251549
Pretty much.

>>140251431
Oh man, here we go...

>>140251525
>this page
Sigh. So much promise, so much disappointment.

Also, it's fucking surreal that the Dark Legion appeared before Nagus. When is that fucker gonna show up?

I FUCKING HATE ANTS

>>140251551
>We see more of Archimedes' conflicted loyalty to father and son.
At least he's conflicted about it! He's still a better father figure than Locke
>>140251596
>It's pretty small scale from what I remember.
Yeah, it's still very enjoyable

>>140251615
Bamf!
>>140251574
At least this whole comic is colored the same way.

>>140251641
Betrayed by wife! If they get a divorce I'll get her on the rebound.
>>140251595
He's pretty mature for a 15 year old. Corny but mature.

>>140251571
Hey look, it's Remington. Cue Thirstposter painting the walls white...

>>140251662
Not the VCR! The most advanced piece of hardware created by echidnas!
>>140251606
Evan even said she'd never acknowledge it and pretend it never happened.

>>140251674
I feel like the robot was about to be ordered to stop searching.
>>140251621
YEAH BOI!

>>140251674
These people are retarded.

>>140251431
>What do you think of Archie Knuckles so far?
I'm surprised that they bothered to make it so that Knuckles and Sally are childhood friends.
It's actually pretty nice to see characters with relationships like that.

>>140251674
Are you telling me this other movement because a guy couldnt watch tv? Lol

>>140251663
I'd be so pissed
>>140251663
That's Menniker his great grandfather, but you can definitely see the family resemblance!
>>140251674
Not the genesis!

>>140251695
Uh oh! Who's that mysterious and imposing figure?
>>140251634
>When is that fucker gonna show up?
Sonic 53

>>140251720
>discriminating against people wearing dark hoodies and walking into dark alleys
I see how it is.

>>140251720
So this is where that phrase came from

NO NO KNUCKLES NO CROUNCH TIME NOOOO

>>140251747
https://youtu.be/ioP3ueBjNFo?si=N6oxazTIPEC_Omo1
>>140251697
Imagine if that happened to us.

You know what’s funny? I literally remember asking about if other echidnas would oppose the tech ban and they did answer that.

there's so many echidnas and I'm already having a hard time telling who is who

>>140251780
Here comes the Chaotix!
>>140251701
>I'm surprised that they bothered to make it so that Knuckles and Sally are childhood friends.
It all sets up some big stuff later on too.

>>140251697
>>140251705
It's so dumb, especially when we see the tech-free faction ends up higher tech than Eggman in a few issues
>>140251701
Yeah, interactions like that really make the world feel connected
>>140251720
>Uh oh! Who's that mysterious and imposing figure?
Oh boy!
>>140251788
Feel free to point any confusing ones out, I've pretty much got the memorized

>>140251674
>the majority is going along with this peacefully
HA! Yeah, keep telling yourself that, pal. Again, I just find this entire premise utterly laughable, that most of the populace is just cool with this.

>>140251720
Crunch Bandicoot is on the phone with his lawyers right now.

>>140251798
Knuckles is just that good.
>>140251753
>>140251755
Where's his candy bar endorsement deal?

>>140251674
Meanwhile, the Nocturnus probably had a Blue-Ray Player during this time.

>>140251822
If it's a fight they want then it's a fight they'll get.

It's an interesting schism.

Yeah, they've made a few changes in the digital recolors

>>140251875
AIEEEEEE!
>>140251843
>yo, bee!
I can see why they did that.

>>140251875
Is this the first hint that Mighty is the 2nd strongest person on Mobius?

>>140251838
They were watching movies in-between sessions of subjugating everyone else in the Twilight Cage.

>>140251802
>It's so dumb, especially when we see the tech-free faction ends up higher tech than Eggman in a few issues
Penders didn't put nearly enough thought into this concept.

>>140251889
Oh right, they have a whole army.
>>140251873
Is there a count for when someone asks for the number of a vehicle that hit them?

>>140251896
His strength superiority gets used a bit more later on.

>>140251907
>Is there a count for when someone asks for the number of a vehicle that hit them?
I haven't been counting that, but I'm sure the number's more than 10 times.

For as much of a hilarious failure as she is, I must agree. Ain't nobody gives a shit about Kragok.

Totally forgot vector had a weird '90s gangster cool' way of talking and espio was more laid back around this time, it's honestly fucking me up a little.

Thanks for doing this storytime conductor, having jumped in at the very tail end of the 2nd Archie run made me realize how much shitposting I missed out on, not this time.

We have officially entered the Dark Age of Archie Sonic.

>>140251889
I don't know, seems kinda hypocritical to be using tech
>>140251896
We've seen him pull off some feats of strenght before, but it becomes more explicit later
>>140251905
>Penders didn't put nearly enough thought into this concept.
Now there's an understatement!
>>140251925
>ENTER KRAGOK
It's Kragok, my future father in law! Love the use of reflections here
>Tossing echidnas and they explode when they hit the ground.

>>140251954

>>140251933
Damn.
>>140251940
Also damn.

>>140251907

>>140251967
She's a fun and hot BDSM dommy mommy villain. That checks off so many boxes. Kragok... he's evil.

>>140251969
Did anyone even know how the Chaotix acted like? Fleetway had them acting like assholes with Charmy coincidentally being a bit closer to how he would act in the 3D games. Did the manuals even indicate anything?

>>140252011
>spa-loooosh
Knuckles has that effect on some people.

>>140252029
Knuckles with the heroic and defiant banter.

Honestly, despite the absurd detail that the Dark Legion were apparently a small minority, this story is decent so far, and the group themselves are a good idea who actually come off as interesting and menacing at first. It's just the way this all ends up playing out that's stupid.

>>140252049
Speaking of Segata, check out the Dark Legion crest.
>>140251970
I thought that came later when it was mostly Penders.

>>140252060
I like their attire, but I would've preferred if they were just aliens that we never really see what's underneath what they're wearing.

>>140252067
>my queen, the echidnas are fucking up
>ugh... again?

>>140251969
It's great because you get to see just how bad Penders is at writing characters talking street
>>140252011
>She's a fun and hot BDSM dommy mommy villain. That checks off so many boxes. Kragok... he's evil.
He did one good thing at least!
>>140252020
The manuals are super weird, with Vector's reasoning for turning up on the island to "find God"
>>140252029
>Knuckles has that effect on some people.
It's true!
>>140252049
lmao at the robot with the apron

For all the DL's tech obsession, their tech kinda sucks.

Look at those little butts on Knuckles and Espio in the last panel.

>>140252242
>If only Sonic X-Treme came out!
The deepest lore of all is that Yuji Naka is a fucking prick.

>>140252264
What's the original dialogue?

>>140252020
The western manual had a surprising bit to it, like how Espio is (supposedly) short tempered and Charmy has to remind him to cool off.
I can see where the logic for Vector's portrayal came from, but all of this is assuming that Sega actually provided Archie the material.
https://info.sonicretro.org/index.php?title=File:Chaotix_32X_US_manual.pdf&page=9
>>140252106
Japanese Chaotix weren't even a team, they were a bunch of guys who individually turned up to the island (though even back then, Espio was a private investigator).

>>140252281
I hope you like arguing old men because we'll get more of that over time.
>>140252248
>I can't tell if that's self-deprecating humor, or just stupid.
Penders copy-pasting echidnas was actually useful in-universe.

You thought Locke was annoyingly cryptic and mysterious in withholding information.

>>140252288
>Japanese Chaotix weren't even a team, they were a bunch of guys who individually turned up to the island (though even back then, Espio was a private investigator).
It;s so weird that they'd decide after that to become a band of mystery solving musicians Josie and the Pussycats style
>>140252313

>>140252443

As a Sonic fan during the Saturn Era, it was rough. N64 was going strong with Mario and the upcoming GoldenEye 64 while PS1 had Tekken and were getting ready for FFVII (though it's kinda hard to fap to Tifa's triangle tetinas)

To be fair, he didn't tell Knuckles much of anything before pretending to kill himself and abandoning his son so he could spy on him in secret.

>>140252822
Menniker, your father abandoned his original goal of putting the island back in favor of indulging in his god-complex.
Get real.

>>140252741
>That good taste
God, I want a re-release of Virtua On, so bad.

>>140252842
Very aggressive handshake.
>>140252824
>At least we can see the beginnings of Archimedes pushing back on Brotherhood bullshit
Good to see someone in the know mostly on Knuckles' side.

>>140252857
What's this? Locke's going to be useful?
>>140252840
>ywn be stuck in another dimension with a bunch of echidnas so you can breed with them
FUCK!

>>140252842
>>140252822
>This bullshit continues for centuries because of petty nonsense.
Family, am I right?

>if you don't agree with me i will send you to other dimension
Great solution

>>140252876
Well... that is helpful. Thanks, Locke. I guess.

>>140252801
>WHAT A TWEEST!
Gasp!
>>140252822
The whole thing's just so weird
>>140252840
lmao
>>140252857
>Good to see someone in the know mostly on Knuckles' side.
Archimedes, Remington and his mother are pretty much the only ones in the know that are actually open with him
>>140252876
>What's this? Locke's going to be useful?
lmao

>>140252892
Hey Locke, since you're watching everything that's going on, maybe you can keep an eye on Kragok so he doesn't get away.

>>140252911
Nope? He just gets away? Fine.

>>140252925
And that's it! But Penders' Wild Ride doesn't stop here. In fact, it's ramping up! Because tomorrow at 7pm EST we'll do the lead in and the start to... ENDGAME!

>>140252925
>Nope? He just gets away? Fine.
Locke was busy, he had to attend another secret grandpa meeting
>>140252941
Thanks Konductor!

>>140252941
>ENDGAME
Robotnik bros i don't like this

>>140252941
>we'll do the lead in and the start to... ENDGAME!
Eggmanchads, the path is starting to clear for us.

>>140252911
>and Knuckles
LMAO

Rate these issues

Lol, the Virgin Legion jobbed to Knuckles and four-man Choatix band with his dad somehow finding the off-switch to their guns, meanwhile us Nocturnus Chads needed Sonuc, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Omega, Cream, Big, Eggman, our own Shade going turncoat, and the four alien races we subjugated having to team up to defeat us.

>>140253115
Calm down ix

I see a whole lot of not posting in this thread. I'll post something later to help out.

Should we tell Archie about SATAM being cancelled?

>>140253245
Don't worry, they know. I told them. They said they'll pick up the slack.

>>140252998
Stupid, dumb, and extremely enjoyable in their cheesines.
Locke refusing to elaborate and take action really starts to show here, if ken wanted a 'wizened master' type for knuckles, he should've written Locke to be more involved.

The DL here kind of depresses me because these early issues show they really could hold their own, even being a capable force, unfortunately later issues have them be little more than toy soldiers for knux to knock around at best, including the named ones who get rocked with little difficulty. Speaking of, the whole origin of the DL really conflicts with the motives of the brotherhood considering they use more tech than the DL.

The chaotix were cool, archimedes really should've taken more action and questioned the brotherhood a lot earlier on, maybe let knux in on the 'master plan' but other than that, he's okay.

Overall, decent trilogy, can't wait for further installments and more echidna bullshit, thanks again to the konductor, you're the best, around, and nothings gonna ever keep you down!

>>140252850
I also had NiGHTs, Marvel Super Heroes, and SF Alpha (sadly, not 2)

>>140253215
The Knuckles threads tend to get lest posts, probably because everyone's too stunned by his handsomeness to respond. I'll storytime those SatAM Gallagher books if we're not meeting quota I figure around 400 posts by 9am is about right

>>140253548
Nice. I was considering doing Knux Redux but I'm kind of lazy tonight.

>>140253599
No worries, I can do that one in one of the later Knuckles threads. Might do those Emerald Coast Comics too

>>140252941
Knuckles grams and stuff

>>140253664

>>140253686

I haven't been able to tune in since storytime #4 what did I miss

>>140252301
>still paying for the consequences of Athair's selfishness
Did they ever actually explain how Athair leaving affected the Brotherhood? Or is Locke just being a cunt as usual?

>>140251697
>>140251705
I could understand if it was like, "Boy, this Chaos Emerald stuff is more dangerous than we thought! Maybe we ought to scale back research on it" and some of the others get pissed because they believe the emeralds will make them as god-like as Enerjak and want that power for themselves.

But what the hell was the end goal of throwing out every single piece of technology like VHS players and computers?

>>140253720
Puns gallore, evil Sonic introduction, initial Penders's cringe, a lot of comedy issues with evil petty Robotnik

>>140252815
Knuckles needs to snatch Locke's ass in a bear-trap! Leave that nigga hanging from a tree so high, nobody finds him for days! Punk-ass nigga pullin' shit, DAMN!

>>140253720
Penders infestation and Gallagher showing he can do some damn good fun action comics.

>>140253308
>The DL here kind of depresses me because these early issues show they really could hold their own, even being a capable force, unfortunately later issues have them be little more than toy soldiers for knux to knock around at best, including the named ones who get rocked with little difficulty.

Not only that, but every Dark Legion Grandmaster except Lien-Da is a carbon-copy. Menniker is Kragok is Moritori Rex. A grandiose ranting Penders villain who doesn't amount to shit at the end of the day.

>>140252089
I like how it's all pretty much agreed that the fire ants are solely responsible for managing the echidna's nonsense.

>>140252110
>Listen, four-eyes, half the town wants to kill you because you took away HBO and Monday Night Football but if you listen to me, we can ensure that everyon--

>Hey, you. Kid! Yeah, with the eyebrows.
>Wanna be a guardian?

>>140252323
>Archimedes even tells Locke that his grandfather's kind of a prick.
>Runs off to go back to Knuckles -- Locke's own son who is dealing with the family nonsense.
>Locke thinks Knuckles is perfectly okay.

Wow.

>>140252621
>You know, maybe we oughta give back some of the tech. I'm sure if we gave back the VCRs and TVs most of the people would settle down...
>No, that's absolutely retarded. We're either living full Amish or we nuke each other there's no in-between

>>140253951
>Knuckles, what are you doing in Knothole?
>You know what, Sonic? You're like school in summertime.
>School in Summertime?
>Yeah, BITCH, School in Summertime! Clean your fucking ears before I pop your bitch ass!!
>Vector pulls out a gun on Sonic
>I'mma pop-a a cap-a in ya ass-a to-ba, bitch-a!

>>140252847
Yeah, if I remember correctly, Dimitri said he'd enslave the entire island and use it as his own personal war machine. In fact, I think he said he did it.

It's funny how Sonic is connected to Lupin, Laputa, Nadia, and Eva

>>140252242
>If only Sonic X-Treme came out!
What would comic Tiara have been like?

>>140254296
Hedgehog Julie-Su

>>140254305
Wasn't she a cat?

>>140254319
Actually, yeah she's a Manx cat. Turns out Jon Gray had her cameo in #134 and #138

>>140254245
What? Que? Quoi? Nani? Cad? He? What? Hva? Co? Nini? Ano? Naon? Cad? Beth? Kini? Ini?

>>140253401
At least you had close to arcade perfect fighters. I had the gimped PS1, great for Tekken, not so much 2D fighters

>>140254134
I think it was that he had enslaved the island (reprogramming the robots to do so) and that he intended to turn it into a flying fortress.
Speaking of, remember that time Robotnik did exactly that last bit and the brotherhood didn't do a damn thing to stop him?

>>140254398
Sonic X was made by TMS (which SEGA currently owns) who produces the Lupin III series. Castle of Cogliostro was written and co-directed by Hayao Miyazaki who went to make Laputa (which was the inspiration for Angel Island). He had an apprentice named Hideki Anno who would make a spiritual successor to Laputa called Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. When Gainax couldn't reclaim to rights to Nadia, Anno simply reused the designs for his next project: Neon Genesis Evangelion (which coincidentally was sponsored by SEGA). 27 years later Sonic Frontiers is released with references to EVA, even hiring the same VAs for Rei.

>>140251720
I always hated that attempt at a catchphrase. Not only is it a blatant rip-off of Clobberin' Time, "Crunch" just makes it sound like a cereal commercial.

>>140254604
what can you do? Back then you had to endure Penders writing until Sonic Adventure arrived Stateside then watch Penders get all pissy when Sonic Team's canon pwn, mogs, and rekt his own

>>140252731
>short, scary, and ugly
you do realize you all look the same, right?

>>140254804
stop being racist

>>140254604
KNUCKLES UP!

>>140252564
Why aren't Heavy and Bomb helping, aren't they Chaotix too?

>>140253830
>But what the hell was the end goal of throwing out every single piece of technology like VHS players and computers?

Severe overreaction. "Technology made bad god, technology bad, must discard technology so never happen again". A standard trope in fiction, especially sci-fi and horror.

>>140251695
Why do these robots look like bad knockoffs of Gort?

How the fuck does Locke manage to watch Knuckles wherever he goes? Where the fuck are the cameras?

>>140255202
Nanomachines, son.

>>140255202
I guess "tiny hidden cameras" are some of the technology that the Brotherhood didn't throw away, although I have to wonder just how many fucking cameras they have, and how much they saw.
>Son, about your "training sessions" with Julie-Su...

>>140252281
When did they find the time to get ass implants?

>>140255202
The entire island is rigged in a way that it can be monitored and controlled from anywhere. Except in the places and times Robotnik attacks the island or when Anti-Sonic and Anti-Knuckles tried to steal the chaos emerald.

>>140254555
It's crazy to see how many multimedia pies SEGA has their fingers in. They even had two series made: Zillion and Super Sonic Borgman.

>>140253308
Remember that Penders based Locke on his own father. What does that tell you about Ken's upbringing?

>>140255665
Imagine being related to Penders. Imagine knowing that you share the same blood as someone that ruined Sonic comics.

>>140251431
>Question: What do you think of Archie Knuckles so far?
Its actually been pretty fun. But I'm also well aware it goes full Penders later on.

>>140255665
Pender's parents were divorced, it's why Locke and Lara-Le were separated. He barely knew his Dad until he was dying of cancer. Locke being a creepy stalker is probably just cope that somehow his own Dad was looking out for him without him knowing.

>>140255848
Apparently he also thought his dad was too lazy and assholish to actually help him.

>>140255892
Locke carries the shit out of Knuckles to the point where it's embarrassing that the title character plays second banana all the time to his Dad. Locke's the reason Enerjak got dealt with, and he saved Knux's ass in the climax of these issues too.

>>140254723
cosmo hugging tails is ooc, she was never that affectionate of him, it was mostly onesided on his end

>>140256098
Yeah, only cream is allowed to give her bf Tails any hugs.

>>140256122
Cream is much more interested in Sonic and has hugged Sonic and thinks lots about Sonic.
She has never thought or cared anything about Tails.

>>140256129
cream thinks about Tails everyday.

>>140256140
factually wrong and coping.

>>140256143
Only one coping here is you. Taiream is cute and canon. Cope.

>>140256162
notice how I can post canon stories where Cream is crushing on Sonic, and you can't for your ooc crackship. Cope.

It looks like Sonic Channel also celebrates Sonknux week!

>the Dork Losers debut

>>140257060
The biggest masterminds in the comic next to Dr. Droid in Pender's minds.

IT'S BUMPING TIME

Greetings /co/cksluts, it's time for more Archie-esque fun! Tonight we're doing some books with art by none other than Art Mawhinney. So why are we doing this as an ~after dark~? Well the first story's called Sonic's Shoes Blues so I'm sure you can imagine!

>>140257668
Not even one page and already we're getting a peak at the grippers!

>>140257673
Pretty!

>>140257681
ENTER "NO FUN ALLOWED" SWAT-BOT!

>>140257685
Oh yeah, we've got one of the prototype Sally designs here, the rare pink Sally!

>>140257698
Look at all those trophies! Oh, and we've also got 4-fingered Sonic

>>140257713
Looks like our himbo paragon forgot his shoes!

>>140257719
Just why does he have all those clothes? Is the real reason he never wears clothes because he's too lazy to do his laundry?

>>140257729
I like how Tails is leaning in to get a better look at those grippers

>>140257741
Are we sure Tails isn't a raccoon?

>>140257750
Even Tails is laughing at "damn bitch you live like this"-tier room

>>140257763
Sonic's shoes are serious business

>>140257771
Damn Sally, that's so mean! Also, damn Sally!

>>140257782
It's just like the Naugus Games comic!

>>140257784
lmao, they're all off to beat Robotnik without him

>>140257792
>blindfolded
>grippers exposed
>no witnesses
Oh my!

>>140257685
I love how the background is detailed, the way it's colored really has a pleasant yet grungy quality. The fact that the robot and signpost aren't rendered in the same way is kind of a shame.
>>140257681
This one is also good.

>>140257801
>the plan is to block up a smokestack with a giant cork
And we say Sonic's the himbo!
>>140257802
Yeah, the art's really nice in this book. I've tried my best to preserve it when I was cleaning up the scan
>The fact that the robot and signpost aren't rendered in the same way is kind of a shame.
Kinda reminds me of the cell-shaded animation where there's detailed watercolored backgrounds and lower detailed animated characters on top

>>140257818
Damn, that [REDACTED]'s dummy thicc!

>>140257830
He's back!

>>140257835
Oh yeah, [REDACTED] was called [REDACTED] before they settled on calling him [REDACTED]

>>140257840
>How does it feel to taste de-FEET!
No comment!

>>140257844
>You may free some of your friends, but we'll keep the little two-tailed fox!
Better check his ID first Caterkiller!

>>140257857
Pretty good shot honestly

>>140257860
Aww, Sonic and Sally are tsun for each other

>>140257867
That's honestly pretty nice of him to say that of Tails

>>140257876
And that's it!

>>140257840
Never forget: If someone is giving you tools for basic hygiene as a gift, either you are disgusting or they are an ass.

>>140257883
So the first one came out in 1993 and this one came out 1994. This is "The Secret Admirer"
>>140257889
Yeah, fancy soaps and things are fine but otherwise they're being pretty blatant

>>140257904
Sonic's finally found his true love, himself!

>>140257908
Wow, look at all those arbitrary and capricious rules!

>>140257916
Oh to be that pile of hay!

>>140257928
Their interactions are pretty cute

>>140257935
Look at them working together!

>>140257904
Neat. I had this as a kid. Got it from a book fair at my primary school.

>>140257942
>they're having chilli-dogs
What a twist!
>>140257949
Don't spoil the ending! I had the one with the Kintobor origin story, it was pretty good

>>140257957
Oh yeah, [REDACTED]'s now called [REDACTED]

>>140257969
Yeah, hooray for [REDACTED]!

>>140257974
Tails is pretty cute in his admiration of Sonic

>>140257979
I wonder which anon could've left a gift for [REDACTED]!

>>140257986
Some twinks for claiming here

>>140257994
What a guy!

>>140257999
Sonails bros, we're eating well tonight!

>>140258002
Sonic you shit

>>140258005
Good lord, Sonic. You're lucky anyone is your friend you prick.

>>140258005
>to my favorite freeDUM fighter
Hmmm!

>>140258005
OUCH! Well at least I'm sure this isn't gonna age badly. Nope not at all.

>>140258013
Damn, Robotnik, you dummy thicc!
>>140258012
>>140258014
Yeah, he's such a prick in that page

>>140258019
>in that page

>>140258019
I miss Crabmeat ;_;
>>140258022
lmao, good point!

>>140258024
Sonic, those colors just do not suit you

>>140258029
Everyone's ready for smooching!

>>140258035
lmao, it was a Sonegg story the entire time!

>>140258045
>Smogsucker 2000
I keep reading that as something very different. This Ride has ruined me ;_;

>>140258051
>Blast you furry fools!
Gasp, fursecution!

>>140258014
this didn't age like milk it aged like that trashbag juice that leaks into the bottom of the trashcan

>>140258056
>Sally has a tie fetish
The more you know!

>>140258064
All's well that ends well!
>>140258061
Gross!

>>140258073
And that's it!

>>140258081
Let's look at the third book "Up Against the Wall," which came out in 1995. Unfortunately the scan was already pretty saturated so the colors are a bit harsh

>>140258094
Oh yeah, Bunnie's in this one!

>>140258100
Antoine seems to be having fun

>>140258005
Fleetway moment.

>>140258094
Nice to see Bunnie gets to show up.

>>140258106
>Sonic The Hedgehog, the lightning-quick leader of the Freedom Fighters
lmao, don't let Sally hear that!
>>140258110
Quiet pixel-brain!
>>140258112
Yeah, she's also in the next one

>>140251502
ENTER WORST DAD

>>140258117
Well that can't be good!
>>140258118
B-but we already covered Max's return!

>>140258124
Big beautiful wall!

>>140251549
MUH TECH

You'd think the fucking Adeptus Mechanicus were here with all this toasterfucking.

>>140258133
>Mobius-quake
That's pretty cute actually

>>140258141
Look how happy Robotnik is!

>>140258146
>Then I'll set a huge dome over it to keep out the annoying sun.
lmao

>>140258150
Damn Snively, that's cold!

>>140258158
I just love Robotnik's expressions here

>>140251551
Archimedes just fucking tell him.

>>140258167
Sally stepping in once again as the voice of reason
>>140258169
He's still conflicted at this point, since he would be going up against 400 years of tradition. He does start pushing back fairly soon though

>>140258177
Bunnie no!

>>140258187
You'd just be a hog Sonic, you'd just be a hog ;_;

>>140258197
Shit, I really should read ahead before I storytime

>>140258203
Arts and crafts time!

>>140258210
I'm sure there's an AI joke in here somewhere

>>140258216
Some interesting posing by Sally here

>>140258220
DUMMY
THICC

>>140258230
B-but that's cheating!

>>140258237
It's not looking good for the Freedom Fighters

>>140258243
Gasp!

>>140258254
Antoine's gonna have some fun tonight!

>>140258261
It's nice to see Tails save the day

>>140258270
lmao, they framed their victory!

>>140258277
And that's it!

>>140258288
Strap yourselves in /co/cksluts because there's activities to do! We'll now be looking at "Look and Find," which was published in 1995

>>140258299
And here's the cast

>>140258312
Words!

>>140258326
Not much to say about these, so I'll just post them. Try to find all the things!

>>140258339
I can't believe they got pictures of my basement ;_;

>>140258349

>>140258362

>>140258373

>>140258384

>>140258397

>>140258409

>>140258420

>>140258426
And that's it! I'll take a break now and have a think on what to post next

I've decided to storytime Hunting, a short (and incomplete) story about Knuckles and Rouge as treasure hunters by DieBronzeneule and SpyrotheFox
https://the-ride.neocities.org/comics/2022-03-06-hunting/

>>140258659
He's wearing his hat!

>>140258667
He's so pretty! Also, he's found the golden goose!

>>140258678
Now whose foot could that be?

>>140258685
I may prefer Sonknux, but I do love some Knuxrouge flirting!

>>140258691
>those abs
Damn Knux, you've been working out!

>>140258698
Look at them go!

>>140258704
Honestly, I'm mostly posting this comic because Knuckles is so shredded

>>140258716
Getting pretty handsy with each other

>>140258721
The action's pretty great

>>140258730
Damn!

>>140258735
And unfortunately that's it. This one came out in Jan 15, 2012 so I don't think we're getting any more :_;

>>140258744
We might have no more pages, but there's still some nice art from them to look at!

>>140258750
Oh my!

>>140258761
Shadow no!

>>140258771
Stylish!

>>140258780
The handsomest knight!

>>140258792
Kinda wish she was in the Black Knight game

>>140258797
Those abs!

>>140258805
I do like the jacket

>>140258815
More Knux abs!

>>140258827
Sploosh!

>>140258836
Knux abs and Rouge tummy!

>>140258843
Damn!

>>140258854
I always did think all those gadgets in SA2 were pretty cool

>>140258873
Some Shadamy

>>140258880
Mephiles the cowabunga-hog!

>>140258893
Dat ass!

>>140258913
Honestly, Rayman's pretty handsome

>>140258925
Awww!

>>140258934
Pretty schway

>>140258943
I can't wait until we get to these guys!

>>140258959
Let's do the other Black Knights art, starting with King Arthur!

>>140258971
Percival's fight had such good music

>>140258978
That's an interesting take on Galahad

>>140258985

>>140259026
Who?

>>140259034
Pretty cool

>>140259040
I like the idea of the Chaotix going to a rave

>>140259051
lmao

>>140251431
I have to impregnate Lien-Da and save her from sex with her retarded jobber cousin. Also Archie Knuckles is alright, secone favourite after current IDW Knuckles, who is surprisingly well written.

>>140259058

Pretty sure Finitivus was the one that impregnated Lien-Da, since Rutan has white tips on his dreadlocks (Rembrandt is Lien-Da's cousin, but they never interacted since he was long dead). Yeah, IDW Knuckles has had some pretty good writing lately

Tammy the worlds number one Robotnik fan

I remember that letter! Wasn't she a school teacher that wrote in to give her class a laugh?

Man, so many fancomics that used to be updating have gone quiet over the past few months. Some stopped being active longer than I expected. There's still a good enough number still updating and some new ones but it's always sad to see some promising ones stop. I feel like if/when Go! Go! Super Sonic! drops its next chapter it'll be the last.

Nobody wants their comic on 4chan.

>>140259380
Noooooooooo!

>>140259357
Yeah, there's been a few that seem to have dropped off lately. I still find myself posting several pages a day though. I'm wondering if we might need to throw out the net for some new comics

Granted this place has a bad reputation, but we're generally pretty nice about the comics. At least outside of playful banter

Eventually I'll start looking as well. I still have a list of stuff that hasn't been posted yet. But I would like to get back to cleaning and translating pages. Still need to use the translation that one anon did for the 300 page Shadamy comic. Gotta clean pages and apply the text.

poor Knuckles, nobody cares about him and his people

No fucking wonder the Dark Legion formed. These retards are insane.

The creator of "bring me to ed" was slightly amused a Halloween or two ago when he/she found out, and even popped in the threads to say hi.

You're the Dark Legion, not the Borg.
