Hey there /co/. Yesterday this particular comic came in the mail for me. With that said I've taken the liberty of scanning the pages to this comic myself, that way we can storytime this much earlier before the rips come around.
I tried my best to make them as high quality as I could. They may still be a bit rough around the edges, but they're still readable.
With that said, Happy 25th Anniversary Sonic, and Welcome to "Sonic: Mega Drive."

And now some music to set the tone

You choose what music can fit these zones, cause all of them, while looking similar are "brand new"
>>84296896
Yes I know they used a meme. Don't make such a big deal about it.
>>84296924
And now I'd like to take this time to applaud the artwork in this comic.

Oh and Amy too.

Can I just say something?
Classic Amy in this comic is Cute!CUTE!
>>84297055
Since this story does take place after Sonic 3 &....you know who, this would technically be the first time Amy has shown Sonic her new "ability"

>forgetting about knuckles chaotix
Tiss tiss~
>mfw this entire issue
They're all too damn cute. I want to hug them all.
THIS FUCKING ART WORK, MY ACTUAL DICK! IT CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH. WHY ISN'T THERE AN ANIMATED IN THIS EXACT SSTYLE, FUCK.
>>84297529
The genie says "Best I can do", and Sonic 3 & Knuckles was better than Chaotix.
>>84296924
It's so old, though, that I don't even think it's that much of a problem.
>>84296856
God this artwork looks so damn good. The style is just perfect.
Honestly it just makes me sad that this is no longer the official style for the games anymore. It feels so much more vibrant like this.
Maybe when Sonic gets yet ANOTHER reboot they'll go back to this. Here's hoping.
That's how it ends? Wow, if they hadn't already announced a second issue that would have been a real dick move.
Fun though. I'd kill for an ongoing in this art style.
>>84297228
I couldn't help it. It was too reaction worthy.
>>84297860
>FFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Wow that was really, really good. Nailed the cheeky old style of the Mega Drive games really well. Can't wait for the next issue.
>>84297860
Made a better version with the digital pages.
>>84297946
I think what works about it is that it kinda proves how the Sonic CD style has a lot of potential for expressions and slapstick. They are so simplistic that you can easily forgive the 'single eye two pupils' design some of the characters have, and they can be exaggerated without feeling out of place.
Knuckles for example felt just fine with all of his wacky expressions despite heavy exaggeration.
>>84297735
There's going to be four issues so they can put them all in a trade when it's done. They're just rusing us.
>>84297228
>>84297998
I personally think simplistic pupil eyes are better at emoting then more detailed ones.
Sonic Team going back to that bright and colorful Sonic CD style aesthetic is one of my big dreams with the franchise, but they won't.
>>84297486
>Next issue in god damn November
>>84298052
Yeah, that sounds like something Archie would do...
>>84298088
>Having to wait till November
Yeah I know that feeling bro.
>>84298088
Oh it is. Sonic just works better with simplicity. Keep him simple but allow his expressions to be more out there and we'd have a great Sonic design.
Anyone know where to find .zip or cbr of Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia? Neither SonicScanf nor TKA have it.
>>84298185
I guess basically like the Classic Sonic model in Generations then?
>>84298216
Basically
>>84298210

You didn't look hard enough.
>>84297472
Didn't the company that made the Game Shark go bust? Or am I thinking of Game Genie?
>>84298270
Ooops, my bad. For some reason it wasn't showing up on my side.
>>84298312
Galoob made the Genie. They were bought out by Hasbro.
The Gameshark is owned by Mad Catz now, but they seem to have retired it.
>>84297020
Good to see Hei-Ho found work after the Death Egg got axed.

>>84296856
tyson hesse is the best, i really want to buy this and i´m not even a sonic fan, the style of classic sonic is awesome and it´s nice to see some classic sega recognition
>>84298667
Shaddap.
I'm enjoying the art style too much to care. Just this once.
>>84298677
Classic 80s/90s Sega was always best Sega.
>>84298739
my niggasomeday i want to draw an official panzer dragoon or streets of rage comic for sega
>>84298771
Hey, you never know. Extraordinary things can happen if you believe in yourself.
>>84296957
There's something I really love about how they drew Robotnik with one leg out of the machine while attacking, it's a nice touch.
>>84298771
It was back when everything they did was interestingly experimental and all their games were colorful and full of life. The alternate timeline where the Saturn and Dreamcast were commercially successful must be a great place.
Just take a moment and a step backwards and compare this art style, to say, sonic booms. It makes you realise how cancerous sonic booms designs are and how you truly just don't fuck with perfection, christ sega, fix your shit.
>>84297735
>Fun though. I'd kill for an ongoing in this art style.
Wish granted.It will replace Sonic Universe.
>>84299013
Eh, Boom worked fine outside of the games, though.
>>84299013
I hate everything about Sonic Boom. Just, hate it.

>>84299025
Not like Universe has been that good since the book rebooted anyway.
>Tyson drew this

This is really making me want to replay the old Sonic games.
Or Sonic 4 Ep 1 and 2.
Or some ROM hacks.
>>84299248
I was thinking some of the reaction shots looked familiar. Good job on him.
>>84298545
>>84298667
I want to FUCK Amy!
>>84296872
Wow that Sonic at the bottom is straight lifted from the Sonic CD opening. That's neat.
>>84297280
That's actually not a bad idea for a boss, it'd be like the start of the Labyrinth Zone boss but reversed, run away until you can reach the end where he destroys himself.
>>84299471
CD kinda did something like that. The Crystal Quartz boss, if I recall.
>>84296856
Holy shit, a sonic comic I liked
>>84297384
>Capsule only has animals that swim
Nice touch
THIS is the sonic I love. None of that relationship drama garbage or filled with filler characters.
Should the main comic and Universe be cancelled and replaced with this?
>>84299623
I would be completely happy with that.
I'm buying three copies of this comic to support it.
>>84299623
I'd be alright with that. But more likely, they'd can Universe for it and condense Universe's side stories into backups for the main comic.
>>84299662
Why would they can Universe? This wouldn't be the first time that 3 Sonic books were running at the exact same time. Only reason Boom got cancelled is because the higher ups went full retard
>>84299623
No, that's retarded.
I'd like this as a quarterly side series, but in addition to what we already have.
>>84299686
>Only reason Boom got cancelled is because the higher ups went full retard
And you think they won't again?
>>84299604
The comic hasn't had relationship drama since the reboot.
>>84299116
>Not taking into account the Egg Bosses
That's a tough call.....
>>84299788
The egg bosses did nothing for me, neither did the pre-reboot batch either.
>>84299248
Wait, that small series of comics was made by the guy who made this?
That's....... incredibly awesome.
>>84299551
Wasn't the same pretty much in older games? Animals released from the capsules would correspond to the area they're in.
>>84299623
No, that's be retarded as all hell.
>>84299870
Yeah basically. Penguins and seals in ice levels etc.
>>84299623
No. I love classic Sonic, but man, am I tired of people foaming at the mouths for it. Barring postReboot as a whole, the way the main comics have always been fine, at least for me, and it'd be stupid to get rid of them with how much they bring in.
>>84299248
i always hear the oh great A WALL part with that fandub voice
>>84299900
Note, "always been fine" is a blatant exaggeration, obviously it has had MAJOR rough patches, and just horrible decisions, but still.
It just annoys me how people rave over classic and moan over everything the comics do, even when it gets pretty cool, at times.
>>84299900
yeah the comics have some really good runs, as long as we have more artists like tyson hesse and less like ken penders everything´s good
>>84299506
By sheer coincidence, I happen to have replayed Sonic CD very recently, actually.
Now that you mention it, that was pretty similar, you were just in place the entire time so it isn't immediately evident that the two are comparable. While they could be a touch on the easy side, Sonic CD deserves some serious credit for their unorthodox bosses that required more out-of-the-box thinking to defeat.
>>84296924
This reminds me of the bits in the really early Sonic comics when they'd get away from the Freedom Fighters plot and really closely adapt the flow and feel of the games into comic form. I loved those pages where we'd get a side-scroller-style view of the action and for a page or two the dynamism of the games would be mirrored in print.
>>84299702
This, it's a nice treat to have, but I wouldn't want to have it be oversaturated by releasing so often, have it be a nice thing you only get once in awhile, like a holiday.
>>84299870
Yep, that was indeed the case now that you mention it. Nice that they remembered that detail.
On a similar note, I played through Lost World recently and noticed that only birds are released when it's a stage in the sky with no ground, so that they don't presumably fall to their death.
>>84297148
Good reaction image potential in the bottom left panel.
>>84300044
I got that feeling best from this page, personally.
>>84297280
>>84299662
>and condense Universe's side stories into backups for the main comic
But isn't Universe line pretty much a backup for the main comic? It would be nonsensical and redundant.
>"Yeah, we're gonna cancel this backup line for this comic, then make it a backup line again! What could possibly go wrong?"
>>84300129Now that I think about it, I don't think they did that with the Badniks in Sky Chase Zone in Sonic 2...... Ouch......
>>84296924
What meme?
>>84300234
The giant enemy crab thing. It's from an old E3.
>>84300224
Yeah, most of the critters in that level were turtles.
Woops.
I love Archie Amy, she's so fucking cute.
>>84297563
The aesthetic of the early games is incredible and that really translates here.
I wish they'd take the series back to its roots:
1. BRING BACK THIS LOOK.
2. Pare the cast down to Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles (4 "hero" characters for 4 player sidescrolling in the NSMB style), Robotnik (the villain obvs), and Shadow (with less early-2000s edge, he could work great as a Proto-Man-style recurring miniboss who you maybe unlock after completing the game).
3. Return to side-scrolling with occasional 3D interludes.
4. Go much lighter on plot.
5. Get creative and wacky with the zones instead of doing boring realistic settings or rehashing what's come before.
>>84300368
>first panel
I don't know a lot about whistling but I feel like that can't be right. It looks like the artist drew that specifically so it could be edited for lewds.
>>84298185
This is my complaint about the Boom design. I actually like the blue arms matching his legs, but the extra quills and scarf just make him too busy.
Sonic is at his best when he looks like blue spiny Mickey Mouse.
>>84300442
>3. Return to side-scrolling with occasional 3D interludes.
>4. Go much lighter on plot.
>5. Get creative and wacky with the zones instead of doing boring realistic settings or rehashing what's come before.
Pretty much all of this happened in Colors and people loved it, and most of it was in Generations. I still don't get why Lost World backed down.
>>84298398
I feel like even if there were no technical issues preventing cheat devices from being viable now, 3rd party companies wouldn't be able to get away with producing them legally the way they did back in the day. If the Nintendo v. Galoob suit had been filed in 2016, the ruling would probably be in Nintendo's favour.
>>84297228
>>84299623
I wouldn't mind the main book being more like it. Not seeing the Freedom Fighters is fucking refreshing, I'm really tired of them.
>>84300442
But outside the Classic look, they've been doing that since Sonic Colors. Heck, Sonic Unleashed did that minus the plot.
Lost World's was the one exception since they made another stab at 3D (this time modelled after Mario).
>>84300488
I get the feeling Sega and Sonic Team are constantly afraid of going the NSMB route and just rehashing the same game style over and over. Unfortunately, their experimentation always lacks polish.
>>84299268
Sonic Megamix is awesome if you want a good ROM hack.
>>84300517
I fell like it's less a legal thing, more "companies would rather sell you cheats as DLC" now.
>>84300196
Yes, Universe can pretty much be summed up as "everything that ISN'T happening to Sonic"
>>84300554
I'm tired of characters that aren't these 4 plus Eggman. Just make the comic like this but with the modern versions of them
>>84299623
For all we know, after the anniversary Archie won't be allowed to use the classic designs again, since for a time it was a mandate that they couldn't
>>84300175
I want to play that page.
>>84300442
One last thing to add: Add branching paths.
No, not the 'moral choice' kind, but more like the SF64 kind. Where which zone you went to next depended on which exit you reached. Sonic games went very fast, but what kept the older ones from getting too dull (Hold right to win) was that the level designs worked around your speed. At least the good levels did.
Take this up a notch by having two or more exits per act. At least one on the upper parts of the stage, and one on the lower. Less experienced players will just miss jumps and find themselves going on the lower path, while more skilled players can reach the upper paths, which lead to harder levels.
This is a great way to keep the replay value without adding some pointless, over-padded story. Have players try to find the most optimal path for secrets, or even reward players with unlocks, bosses, or challenges if they can consistently get to the harder entryways.
Hell, if you keep the cast of characters small, you can even have it so that you can unlock characters by reaching certain paths. (Just be sure to make Knuckles the hardest one to unlock. His ability to glide and climb walls would make reaching the other exits far too easy if you get him early.)
>>84300488
Lost World committed the cardinal sin of being completely mediocre while also having the worst set of "villains" the franchise has ever seen in those rainbow colored alien fuckers.
They need to stop copying Super Mario Galaxy and just refine the Colors/Generations formula. Also don't bloody reuse the Wisps again. They already felt completely out of place in Lost World.
>>84300442
One thing I never noticed before until now when playing through Sonic CD recently was just how much I love the physics and engine to it. The way I can duck half way through a loop-de-loop for some extra speed, how when I fall from very high up and land on an item or enemy I'll bounce up just as high, how your speed carries over so seemlessly into everything you do is just so amazingly perfect that I now know why people complained about Sonic 4.
>>84296896
So, I'm supposed to read this in the old cartoon voices, right?
Cause fuck, this is where I'm reading Eggman with Baldry's voice
>>84300564
They should do what Nintendo does and have a retro-styled series run parallel to an experimental and progressive series.
Retro-style games like NSMB or A Link Between Worlds are great for refining what's already good about a series and tiding fans over until the next big thing like Mario Galaxy or Breath of the Wild.
>>84300478
From what I've seen, general consensus of Boom Sonic's design is that the frayed quills are a nice touch.
>>84300574
Partially, but I think the bulk of the issue lies in most games being largely online affairs now.
Cheating/Game Enhancement devices are only really good for games that are all single-player or local multiplayer.
>>84300746
A Sonic game that apes the kind of thing that Mega Man 9 or 10 did would be fucking sweet.
>>84300442
Blaze and Chaotix are great though. And back to its roots is what really bad for gaming. What Sega needs to do is choose one thing and focus on developing it further. With the exception of Whisps, they picked and then dropped every single idea they had.
>>84300603
But this 4 and Eggman is all we getting outside comics.
>>84300785
Which are sadly a dying breed...
>>84300574
That makes sense, but now that I think of it, it's probably partially due to how they've found completely new ways of hacking that don't use external devices.
>>84300696
>the worst set of "villains" the franchise has ever seen
>not mephiles and iblisit's already useful!
>>84300808
>But this 4 and Eggman is all we getting outside comics.
Fine, game characters only then
What do you think they chances are of Archie being allowed to use the classic designs after the anniversary are over?
Think Sega will mandate against using them again?
>>84300883
The Deadly Six were literally just walking color-coded stereotypes though.
>>84300917
That's still better than what Sonic 06 brought to the table. Probably also better than The Black Arms or those guys from Riders.
>>84300677
This is brilliant, and I'd love to see it. Sega needs to realize we actually do want playable characters besides Sonic, just make them similar but different.
Also, I always found Tails to be the one that made it easiest to sequence-break through levels. There's only ever a few walls too high for Tails to fly above that Knuckles can climb on.On a side note, they should bring back Amy with the same gameplay she had in Sonic Advance 1, it was different and unique in all the right ways and if you knew how to use her made for a really interesting game experience.
>>84297055
that ring joke was pretty good.
>>84300808
>But this 4 and Eggman is all we getting outside comics.
More like Sonic and Eggman, with Tails as a non-playable supporting character.

>>84301143
Oh shit, make that 6. I forgot about abt
Also don't give up anon.
>>84300969
I'd say really put emphasis on Amy's ability to vault with her hammer. Have her be able to use it for a lot of things. Like smacking enemies into each-other, using it to grab ledges, which no other character can do (Save for Knuckle, but that's only because of wall climbing) and gaining momentum through destroying enemies.
It'd make for interesting gameplay elements if she was the only character in the game that got faster and more mobile by destroying enemies.
>>84296945
>And now I'd like to take this time to applaud the artwork in this comic
Tyson Hesse motherfucker. Fucking amazing artist. I'm happy he found work, though I still hope he'll one day return to Boxer Hockey.
>>84300917
>>84300940
General consensus on the Deadly Six seems to be Zazz is great, Zavok is okay, Zeena has a nice design, Zomom might be popular among pre-adolescents but definitely disliked amongst older fans, Zik is alright, and depending on your sense of humor some people found Zor absolutely hysterical because of how his emoness is so out of place in a Sonic game.
Black Arms was kind of bland, although tge comics apparently made them a great deal more interesting, and Mephiles while cool in appearence and demeanor is also rather bland, but both can be (partially) chalked up to only being in one game each. The Babylon Rogues are actually not too bad, even if I haven't played beyond the first Riders game.Personally, while I've never played '06, I've always hoped that someday the fans will release a patched version of it with no bugs at all. I actually think I would genuinely enjoy it if that were the case, trainwreck of a story aside
Good job, Archie, but you are about... 22 years late with the premise. Hon hon.

>>84301509
It's just a short flashback from current comic's run.
>>84301314
>Black Arms was kind of bland, although tge comics apparently made them a great deal more interesting
Mostly because of this guy, Eclipse the Darkling. And despite the name, he's not at all what you'd think he's like. Otherwise, the Shadowfall arc really played up the hivemind aspect of the Black Arms, and the fact that Shadow has partial access to this hivemind is a major plot point.
Shit like this is why I really like the comics, because they actually do stuff with the extant elements of the games.

Not counting it'd end up hurts both books. Already arcs are suffering because they now have half the amount of pages each issue. and at least Universe has had a better flow due to not having to deal with backup stories.

>>84300442
>BRING BACK THIS LOOK
I honestly don't mind modern sonic. I mean, I do prefer sonic a little rounder and more cuddly like OVA-Adventure 1 style but beyond that it don't bother me.
2.Pare the cast down.
They kind of have. Since Unleashed we haven't seen a lot of the cast outside of their brief cameos in Generations. They mostly just focus on Sonic and Tails and Amy and Knuckles appear most of the side characters.
3. >Return to side scrolling
I honestly have no problem with sonic running through a 3D path, as long as it's well done. Modern sonic in generations is some of the most fun I've had with him. Honestly most of my problems stem from them not being able to handle momentum well rather than camera orientation.
4. Lighter on plot
No argument here.
5. Creative and Wacky with Zones
I agree

I wanna see Classic Team Dark.
>>84297148
I had to
>>84300798
I always thought I want a sonic game that plays slightly more like Rayman Legends. Especially the music stages, considering how good sonic's music usually is.
>>84302155
Shut up Boco.
>>84302195
Rayman Legends music stages were amazing
>>84301866
There you go! I might end up drawing more of the suggestions after I finish dinner.
>>84302272
Yes sir...
>>84302272
Shadow would have been better if he were just some dick hedgehog Sonic knew from the past or something, instead of the garbage military government conspiracy alien spawn ultimate lifeform shit.
So where's a good place I can buy this comic? I want to support stuff like this.
>>84302434
Would he though? Shadow was popular in his first game, it wasn't until later that people didn't like him. With your idea, it just seems really bland and nobody would've liked him in the first place.
>>84302679
Either on the Archie online store or at your LCS
>>84302679
Archie online store, places like comixology, or local comic book store.

>we will never see Classic Rouge
Such is life.
>>84302272
No, for once in his miserable existence, he's talking sense. It's be kind of interesting to see what antics Shadow got up to with Maria on the ARK, and a young Rouge as a pickpocket on the mean streets. Not sure how you'd do Omega though.
>tfw the Golden Age of Sonic fan games is long over
>therefore we will never have a fan game adaptation of this comic (because we can't count on Sonic Team doing it)
why live
>>84302796
Timeline-wise, Omega wasn't built until we were at the Dreamcast-era. So a Classic Omega is impossible.
>>84302825
>still no fangame based off the Mega Man crossover
>>84298060
>>84302917
Worthy of a one-zone demo and a boss rush, at best.
I can't see that being stretched for a full game though.
>>84302917
There really isn't any effective way to make both styles of gameplay work together for it. Super fast platforming for Sonic, or very slow and bad level design for Megaman.
Such a thing would dominate one or the other, like Street Fighter x Megaman did, where it just used the setting and characters for bosses, but adhered to Megaman gameplay.
The only way it could really work is two different games mashed together, which would be the werehog all over again, and nobody really wants that, I hope.
Speaking of the Boxer Hockey guy, did he draw that comic that ends with Knuckles thanking Ken Penders?
>>84303208
Yes
>>84303276
Thought so.
>>84302944
Make a Mega Man game with the Roboticized Sonic characters in place of the Robot Masters.
>The guy who made a meme comic is now making a official sonic comic
Dreams do come true, my /co/mardes.

Shadow would've been better if he never existed. What a tonal misstep for the whole series.
>>84303373

Yeah, that's all I'm asking.

>Sonic was fat and lost weight because Tails complained
cute
>>84302155
Did two Rouges because I wasn't sure what to do with her outfit. I feel like a "Classic" rouge would probably have something more timeless that still seems "sexy". I may try some other designs later.
Also tried to make her body the "Circle" shape but with the actual circle being her lower body and a pinch in the middle, but I might change that too.
Shadow is just sonic but slightly different so not a lot of issue there.Didn't do E-123 because Robots aren't my strong suit.
>>84302434
You mean like Boom Shadow?

It will be a sad day in the future when Mike Pollock kicks the bucket.

Best sonic character coming soon, aww yeah!

His theme in Sonic 4 was the best track in the game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOS6-5sV89Y
>>84306515
He prefers to stand and hates shoddy IKEA furniture.
>>84300442
>and Shadow (with less early-2000s edge, he could work great as a Proto-Man-style recurring miniboss who you maybe unlock after completing the game).
Fuck no I like Edgy SA2 Shadow. But make self aware jokes about it.
>>84306901
Sonic 06 was oddly good about this. It wasn't self-aware, but it was Shadow being edgy and cool without any of the baggage he had in the last few games so it actually kinda worked.
>freezing time just to punt Silver in the back of the head
>>84306948
I think I say this all the time, but Sonic was literally the worst part of Sonic 06. If they had just made it a Shadow the Hedgehog 2, or something, the overtly serious tone, the ridiculousness of a human princess, the introduction of another hedgehog and the pressure that made them rush it wouldn't nearly be as jarring.
>>84307015
The funny thing is that you can remove Sonic from the plot and nothing changes. All you need is to give Elise another reason to feel real sad.
>>84307525
Considering the plot revolves around a young girl struggling with serious issues and time travel while trying to keep an oddly serious tone, it seems like a story Shadow should be the hero for.
>>84297563
Sonic CD intro is in this style
>>84308339
wasn't that movie with metal sonic done in that style too
>>84298739
CD style was the zenith of sonic's design
So without the Master Emerald, did Angel Island just fucking crash into the ground?
>>84308526
Probably.
>>84308526
He's got insurance, it'll cover it.
>>84308526
Well what did you expect? Knuckles is all on his own this time, no secret cabal of echidna grandpas to help him.
......oh who am I kidding, even if they were around they'd be sitting in their hideout and eating pizza rolls, waiting for Knuckles to resolve the issue while talking about some vague bullshit to themselves.
Still trying to mess with a classic rouge.
>>84309244
>Classic Rouge.
That would be so cute. No fuck that, it IS cute.
>>84309244
I feel like Classic Rouge should have a different 90s-inspired outfit instead of her normal one.
>>84310321
Well, I'd say that it's halfway there already.
>>84310432
More 90's.
