Endangered Species #1-3 and Archie Sonic Online #248-249 Now that we’ve gone through all of the official Archie Sonic comics, it’s time to check out the unofficial stuff! If you missed the preboot then you’ll love all of this! First up is Archie Sonic Online! The purpose of ASO is to write issues as if the Pendering and Worlds Collide never happened. We’ll be going in order so we’ll start with Endangered Species and then do the first two issues of Sonic the Hedgehog Online!
Question: What’s an unresolved story from the preboot that you wish was officially finished?
>>142715772 In case you forgot, Sonic was fighting Lien-Da and Metal Knuckles came in and clocked him. So we'll be starting this story with Sonic jobbing.
>>142715864 Poor Saffron. Her people are dead and she's engaged to a retard. >>142715816 If only Ian didn't stretch that out for too long or he wasn't forced to do Genesis or if that whole thing with Penders didn't happen.
>>142715763 Plap plap it's the Remington comic! >Question Mostly the Sally one, although I'd liked to have seen an official resolution for Endangered Species
>>142715935 Oh right... the bombs... >>142715876 Interesting choice. I do miss Spectre. >>142715882 Exactly. He's a gentleman to all non-echidna women.
>>142715906 Yeah, I get why they had to but it was way too formal for her to be comfortable with the title >>142715935 >Lien-Da wins! Finally! >>142715956 It's nice to see Remy trying to empathize with queen bitch, even if she doesn't deserve it >tied up Remington Wew!
>>142715992 I always knew that whore Komi-Ko was a bitch! >>142716014 Should've let her be killed Crystal-La, it's for the best >>142716037 >Rejoice! It's also a fantastic story so others can enjoy it too!
>>142716076 Sonic's been unleashed! But no transformations or jazz music is involved. >>142716057 Obviously Lien-Da had a case of the spontaneous combustion.
>>142716103 Whipping out the electric BDSM powers! >>142716025 >It's nice to see Remy trying to empathize with queen bitch, even if she doesn't deserve it If Axel existed in the preboot, he would approve of this attempt at fixing family.
>>142716056 >preserve our way of life ... Lien-Da, I'm having a bit of an off day, so I don't have the energy to go into detail about how fucking stupid you're being. So instead, I'll just tell you to go fuck yourself.
>>142715763 >Question: What’s an unresolved story from the preboot that you wish was officially finished? I just wanted to see everyone get their happy ending after all the bullshit they went through towards the end.
>>142716070 It is! >>142716076 He's so good at speeches too! >>142716105 Anon no! They're aunt and nephew! >>142716125 >If Axel existed in the preboot, he would approve of this attempt at fixing family. Exactly! Ultimately, Remington just wants all the Echidna to get along and put the past behind them. It's what makes him more pragmatic and a better leader than the council of secret grandpas
>>142716138 Yeah, you can tell she's planned it all out to get into power but kinda assumes it'll be smooth sailing from there. When things inevitably turn to shit, she freaks out >>142716146 Wynmacher, hero of the Echidnas!
>>142716191 Remember how Krudzu came back and merged with Metal Knuckles? Me neither. >>142716190 To think he's using it better than he did the entire time Penders was writing him.
>>142716190 Yeah, it's nice to see >>142716191 Sonknux and my husbando all in one issue? Play fucking plap! >>142716206 >WOah is that thunder arrow It is, although they've made it a Chaos Force power here
>>142716250 Athair watches you fap. >>142716248 I haven't heard anything but I think there was supposed to be some info coming out of a StC convention.
>>142716211 >Remember how Krudzu came back and merged with Metal Knuckles? Me neither. Nice to see they addressed it in the off-panel >>142716243 I'm still mad! >>142716248 They released a special recently and were hoping to have a new mainline issue out this year >>142716253 lmao
>>142716322 What kind of boss theme would Thrash have? >>142716311 She does need correction. >>142716314 He suffered for his people and then suffered some more and then he died.
>>142716302 Oh dear, Lien-Da might be in for a correcting from a very pent up Thrash….surprised no one has done that, seen him banging Charlie of Hazslop of all things
>>142716322 >>thrash: at first i was thinking of chucking ya into portals but that sounded really dumb Not to mention logistically impossible. Discussion is usually focused on the consequences of the act, but that the question of FUCKING HOW?
>>142716380 You got cute doggos from the echidnas? I fail to see the problem here. >>142716334 And no Brotherhood to be a triple threat of echidna fuckery.
>>142716403 Oh yes, I remember that story where Julie-Su trained Amy for a bit. >>142716398 >knuckles dies again >aurora tries to seduce him because he was a better enerjak
>>142716422 I do like how Thrash does seem pretty decent to everyone else but is just so consumed by hatred of Echidna’s that it drowns out his morality
>>142716376 They always got so mad when I pointed out that collective punishment only incentivizes everyone to misbehave. It's a class-sized prisoner's dilemma! >>142716380 Best boy Remy being the voice of reason!
>>142716441 Suppose, it is genuinely such a well composed boss theme that it fits for a lot of things, also not a coincidence that beat Megaman X and played ot again up to Final Sigma but better that time. Starting X2 after thread
>>142716403 Thrash really is the smuggest character >>142716408 Tie me kangaroo down sport it is then! >>142716420 Someone enjoys seeing a lady with a whip and skintight leather taking charge! >>142716422 >aurora tries to seduce him because he was a better enerjak I consider this 100% canon now
>>142716438 The Dark Legion kinda reminds me of Repliforce at times. On paper, they are 100% objectively correct. In practice, they manage to be the bad guys via stupidity and unnecessary hostility. Nobody would be able to argue with them if not for the inexplicable terrorism.
>>142716490 Bad doggos! >>142716479 >they came for the vcrs and i said nothing because i didn't have a vcr >they came for the dvd players and i said nothing because i didn't have a vcr >then they came for the internet and i couldn't tell anyone because i didn't have internet
>>142716514 >knuckles: i'm not your mate, buddy >thrash: i'm not yoru buddy, mate >knuckles: I'M NOT YOUR MATE, ASS >thrash: aight, fair enough on that
>>142716490 One thing that makes me bad about penders is that he set up some interesting stuff with remington but I dont recall that EVER actually being done with.
>>142716462 Yeah, that's definitely Ix, which makes sense considering he was the leader of the Nocturnus Clan before their banishment and was probably less of a chode back then >>142716478 >I'm now imagining Remington as a captain :) >and seducing green women. >:(
>>142715763 Are these all fan made/drawn? If that's the case Sonic fans genuinely impress me with their commitment to their favorite characters, if every fan community had this level of resolve/passion I don't think any series/comic/game would truly die.
>>142716588 Ha! Thrash doesn't have a lover to safely carry him down. >>142716586 Yup! There's so many Sonic fancomics but we'll only be focusing on the ones that continue Archie.
>>142716513 Those tech dreadlocks look cool, and retractable energy blade Wolverine claws would be sick >>142716553 I like that the scientist on the left kinda looks like Locke
>>142716675 But look at it this way. They obviously haven't been used in a long ass time. Imagine if they were. There might be a few species the echidnas would like to be rid of.
>>142716607 They're such a cute couple >>142716663 >DAT KNUCKLES ASS Wew! >>142716675 >That'd be fucked if one of the scientists was related to Locke. Imagine if it turned out the Brotherhood of Guardians was an offshoot of those guys!
>>142716713 See? They just wanted head pats and told they're good boys and girls. >>142716706 >Imagine if it turned out the Brotherhood of Guardians was an offshoot of those guys! The evil scientist apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
>>142716747 That took a while. Shame they couldn't use a warp ring to get them out. Seemed to have worked well for them in the official comics! >>142716681 Based!
>>142716582 X1 was really great, was super shit at first dying to a maverick once a plenty but after beating final Sigma while farming fill energy tanks, second run went much better and could beat half the maverick roster buster only, though didn’t beat Final Sigma after getting Z Buster cause was late and gonna start x2 after ride
>>142716713 Look at chibi-Remington go! >>142716747 >The evil scientist apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Now I'm thinking they set up the Brotherhood to atone for their sins, only for the Brotherhood to perform unethical experiments on one of their own >>142716760 >that third panel He's so cute bros ;_;
>>142716713 I kinda love how done Sonic is with Lien-Da's bullshit. Either that, or he takes particular offense to the implication of harming Saffron. In which case, he's right. She is a precious cinnamon roll who MUST be protected.
>knuckles solving a problem through talking My knuckles?! The guy who likes to punch and get tricked several times?!?!?! Doing that?!?!! >>142716864 It's this handsome mother fucker!
>>142716826 Nice to see Saffron willing to reason with Thrash >>142716835 Sonic just can't grasp how pathological being a petty bitch is for Lien-Da >>142716864 Enter the true queen bitch of the Echidna!
>>142716885 >>142716912 I wish Finitevus met Wily. Like he'd be amazed how someone so smart is so fucking petty whole Wily finds him disturbing. And Tech worth jacking.
>>142716935 I live the little tail-notch in Remy's outfit, cute and practical! >>142716948 Awww! >>142716975 Notice how Remy says our people? He's already trying to unite the Echidna! >>142717010 It seems Cobar already has a special someone! Also, I 100% ship (that whore) Komi-Ko and Crystal-La
>>142716975 >>142716995 >if they pretend to have captured Albion, Eggman surely won’t want to actually do anything to Albion now that it’s captured This is stupid.
>>142717028 It really is nice >Hey, Two gay dudes! Pretty one of them is Cobar (Rotor's future BF) >>142717031 >Julie-Su about to shoot a hot bitch. She probably should
>>142717086 That was a nice diversion and all but Sonic and the gang gotta go and do their thing in the main issues. >>142717062 It's a band aid for an issue. It won't be that easy to resolve.
>>142717141 ENTER THE REST OF THE CHAOTIX I wonder if ASO followed exactly how that event went or reverted things to being Rob and his wife and kid still there in their continuity.
>>142717170 Thrash is still waiting for his happy ending. No, not that kind of happy ending. >>142717133 >Well maybe if she hadn't killed him she would have! If he gave her all the loving she wanted, maybe she wouldn't have killed him.
>>142717170 >Beat up some Brits >Found a sister >Saved the Echindas >Forged some (temp)peace >Gonna do their best The Chatoix Won! With NO suffering for once!
>>142717170 Oh, and I should post the Remington collage I made from Endangered Species >>142717187 >If he gave her all the loving she wanted, maybe she wouldn't have killed him. Touché!
>>142717289 That would fit perfectly! >>142717302 The Arctic FFs sure do have some hot members! >>142717316 >Oh right, the vagina monster. I still can't believe Evan confirmed that
>>142717316 Man, I have a friend who just shits on and is nasty to Cream, saying who actually likes her but she is a nice character and like when she gets to step up
>>142717361 Nope! Don't let Cheese get caught in that! Nope! >>142717330 >sega actually did something and stopped penders >the crossover was halted All is good!
>>142717347 Sonic and Tails through thick n thin, brothers in combat and in spirit, might accidentally summon stupid moron by saying it but these two have such a nice bond and always love it highlighted in fanon and canon
>>142717380 >Sonic and Tails through thick n thin Only Sonic, he shitted on Tails to help himself >brothers in combat and in spirit Not “brothers” at all, just a narcissistic spoiled celebrity and a worshipper >these two have such a nice bond They don’t. Their only “bond” is Sonic being ungrateful, vain and shitty and Tails being made into a pathetic doormat to wank Sonic’s inflated ego
>>142717454 He's pretty much Sonic when he's not adventuring. Just a guy that likes relaxing with his friends >>142717465 >Another faker! Sonic should Lara-Sue Eggman!
>>142717454 Yeah, simple minded but compassionate, easygoing, quiet and loves fishing. He isn’t a complex one but there is a character and personality to him
>>142717507 Later, faker! >>142717495 >Sonic should Lara-Sue Eggman! Seriously, Eggman has already committed copyright infringement several times on Sonic alone.
>>142717380 Sonic drove Tails into tears and a depression from humiliating him that entire Fiona arc, looked at him wallowing in sorrow alone in 175, then went to Sally and said “hnyeh, I don’t care I did that to Tails, all I ever care about is Me, Me, Me. Someone please give me a medal cause I’m so keeeewl”
>>142717463 >And that's why you should never enter Rotor and Big's room without knocking first >>142717534 >Seriously, Eggman has already committed copyright infringement several times on Sonic alone. He really is the worst!
>>142717812 >she's talking Ugh. Again, the worst thing about Mecha Sally is that she talks. Normal good Sally can infamously get bitch on you real quick. But her evil form actively weaponizes that.
>>142717853 >I see Eggman upgraded Mecha Sally with some gaslighting programming. Gaslight_Gatekeep_Girlboss.exe >>142717860 lmao >>142717877 Plap plap it's Larry and Elias! >Nobody would survive the ordeal. Say goodbye to your pelvis. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised!
>>142717853 SEE? You see what I'm talking about? This shit is the actual worst. Might as well have stabbed in the heart just there. The kick is a gentle massage by comparison.
>>142717944 Metal, what are you on about? Since when could you copy abilities like that? What are you, trying to upgrade yourself? Keep that up and you'll have to start going by a different name.
>>142718144 I have the best taste. The only appeal Sonic has is as the generic boring gary stu main character. Your taste is shit and generic and fueled by self-insertion. Shadow is way cooler and has better chemistry with Sally
>>142718161 And that's it for today! Tomorrow at 7pm EST we'll do the next four issues of ASO! Sally has to readjust to her life and there's that whole thing with Naugus.
Just thought I'd let you know that the schizo is on the other place, make sure you tell black hand to grab his ip and send him to the shadow realm forever.
>>142718495 Yeah Mordred has more style, personality and just looks cooler....just needs Hypno sex animation like Lyric has and he'd have him utterly mogged
>>142718782 Yeah despite being insanely memorable and popular he is pretty limited in appearances, shame he didn't get to show up more or step up into main villain role for a bit
>>142718719 ASO and Scourge Eternal Blackout feel the closest to Archie. Heroes Come Back does as well but I have to dock points for the OC focus at the start despite Stripes being a good character.
>>142718794 Well I'm not stopping it entirely, just putting on hold while Dulcy and Rava get designed right now, then gonna do more hero's and villains like Ahklut, Antoine or Eggman and Omega
So what did everyone think of Sally's deroboticization here? I think it was better than the krudzu path because that makes almost no sense. How would the krudzu be able to deroboticize anything
>>142718831 New member of the Secret Freedom Fighters. He's got a troubled past and hard to trust at first. But he's a fun character with a good personality. He likes teasing Silver.
>>142717187 The amount of pure anguish Thrash is drawn with here is so heartbreaking. Don't worry dude, Knuckles will figure out how to de-dogify your people. One day.
>>142719231 Huh, suppose that'd be nice, though lmao on the one content saying Mephiles is a better executed villain then Infinite, they both have equally good moments and ideas sullied by mishandling/sloppy writing
>>142719231 Infinite definitely has some more backstory/character to mine. He was treated pretty terribly in Forces and was a bit too one note, plus the shit with him basically deciding to become Infinite because Shadow bullied him just paints him as the biggest fucking weenie.
>>142719369 >Sonic was actually supposed to be tortured and beaten up >Tails was actually supposed to be even more batshit insane >The world was supposed to be more damaged It's amazing how shit Forces is, this is what happens when you fail to commit to a narrative and pussy out.
>>142719284 >You need some bullshit writing to bring mephiles back Yeah i agree with ya it pretty much impossible to bring mephiles back since the timeline was pretty much deleted at the end of sonic 06 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8HU5f8XG6w
>>142719561 >to vector >you will always be broke >to espio >one piece is better than naruto >to charmy >in another life your people were massacred and you got brain damage and your fiance has to take care of you and... santa claus doesn't exist!
>>142719231 >Like Infinite, Mephiles is also a very attractive character in mainstream titles! >So I think there is a possibility that it will appear in future mainstream titles. I think you can feel that from the fact that past titles have begun to connect with this game. Pic related!
>>142720016 I'd be fine with that too. Five toes without nails would work because they have five nailless fingers but stylized four toes with shit like retractable claws and pads also works cause it's more animal-ish.
>>142720038 >they have five nailless fingers That's a good point I'd never considered. It's definitely canon since Sticks doesn't wear gloves and was approved by Sonic Team
>>142720109 >And Sonic only grew fingernails when he became the Werehog. I like to think the official explanation is they have fingernails, but they're translucent to the point where they're not noticeable, and only thicken up into claws when they undergo a transformation (like the Werehog or Trip)
