What in the FUCK is this?
Hey, /sthg/. Newfag here. I've never been much of a comic guy, but I'm considering getting into the Sonic comics.
Where do I start? I don't want this to be another Doctor Who situation where I have to research decades of history in order to get the full experience, you know?
As for my background I'm quite familiar with both the game lore and the events of the SatAM cartoon. What does /sthg/ recommend?
>>143979982
If you want to experience a ride. Do the comics from Issue 1. That's what I did.
If you want a fresh start with good art, start at the reboot.
>>143979982
For the full experience, #1-50, then skip to 160 when you get sick of furry drama and terrible art.
OR just skip straight to 160 for the good stuff
OR just skip straight to Worlds Collide (if you like Megaman and friends) or #252.
Be sure to read the accompanying Sonic Universe issues as well.
>>143979982
Start with Worlds Collide, the first crossover with Mega Man. It's fun, well-written, and leads directly into the reboot. Once you've experienced all the reboot stuff, hop into the pre-reboot material starting with #1 (or the mini-series).
>>143979830
It's a poll to gauge interest on what people who like Sonic also like. Whatever option gets the most votes is probably where they'll take more inspiration from in the next game (i.e. Nintendo winning means more plots like Lost World, DBZ means Adventure-esque shenanigans, etc.)
People are stupid and are taking the poll for face value.
>>143978119

>>143980137
>>143980207
>>143980258
Okay. So there was a recent reboot then? Excellent.
So, there's Universe and then the other one? Are they separate continuities? Do I need both? I'd prefer to stick to one series and go from there if I can.
Universe looked pretty interesting as it seems to use every character under the sun who has ever been canon in the games, which appeals to me.
>>143980714
The main comic (just "Sonic the Hedgehog") and Sonic Universe are in the same continuity, but the main comic focuses on Sonic with the SatAM Freedom Fighters + Tails/Amy/Cream/Big as his supporting cast, while Unvierse usually focuses on major game characters like Blaze, Knuckles, Shadow and Eggman without Sonic, with a handful of exceptions.
>>143980714
for the full experience, read the old issues, they are fun as social experiments.
otherwise, switch directly to around when the first sonic universe is released. that's when it gets good.
>>143980714
Yes, Universe often ties into the main comic storywise and gives the side characters some spotlight. If you start at the reboot, then you can start Universe at #55
>>143980714
Universe is the same continuity as the main comic series, just with more of a focus on 4-part stories about side characters like Knuckles, Shadow, Blaze, Silver, and currently Eggman's merry gang of assholes
>>143980864
>>143980916
>>143980924
>The main comic (just "Sonic the Hedgehog") and Sonic Universe are in the same continuity, but the main comic focuses on Sonic with the SatAM Freedom Fighters
Interesting... So after Worlds Collide, both Sonic and Universe are rebooted, correct?
If I do get into this, what should be my strategy for reading through them? Since both comics are different sides of the same coin, how will I know that I'm not missing crucial info that's only in the other series? What's the ideal approach? Do I do Sonic Reboot #1 and then Universe Reboot #1, followed by Sonic #2 and Universe #2?
What's the issue # of the reboot for each series? Thanks for the help, guys.
>>143981752
>If I do get into this, what should be my strategy for reading through them?
Follow this. It only goes to #280 but the most recent is only #285 or something so it's fine.
>>143980462
Interesting. I wish it was a public poll like the last one, though
>>143981752
The current writers ultimately know it's a kids' comic. Anything from Universe that's relevant in the main comic will be explained so readers who didn't read Universe aren't left behind, and vice versa. It's recommended to read both (especially since Universe is usually very good) but if you don't you won't lose too much.
And while they did reboot the comic, they kept the same numbering. The reboot itself starts at #252 of the main comic and #55 of Sonic Universe. Worlds Collide is a 12-part special that includes #248-251 of the main comic, #51-#54 of Universe and #24-#27 of the Mega Man comic, but all of those are going to be up at any website like sonicscanf anyway.
>>143981189
How fucking tall is GBK?
>>143981947
>but the most recent is only #285 or something so it's fine.
You're thinking of Sonic 281 and Universe 85
>, how will I know that I'm not missing crucial info that's only in the other series?
The general thing is that most of the important plot stuff is in the main book, with Universe occasionally tying into it. And even then like >>143982083 said, the main book does a good job catching you up on what happened in Universe and vice versa. Reading both is the ideal experience
>>143982509
As tall as Perfection needs to be
>>143982083
>The reboot itself starts at #252 of the main comic and #55 of Sonic Universe.
Exactly what I wanted to know. Sweet.
>Sonic SCANF
HMMMMmmmm... An easy-to-use, high-quality resource of every Sonic comic I could need? Yes please!
So, just to confirm, as long as I've played the games and are familiar with their lore I'll be just fine with starting at these points?
>>143982586
>You're thinking of Sonic 281 and Universe 85
My bad, I remember seeing the cover for #285 and forgot we're only up to #281
>>143982791
Yes, anything extra the reboot introduces (and it introduces a lot because of the nature of twice-monthly comics) is explained in the comics themselves. Nothing before the reboot matters anymore.
>>143982791
>So, just to confirm, as long as I've played the games and are familiar with their lore I'll be just fine with starting at these points?
Yup. Hell, here's ScanF itself http://en.sonicscanf.org/comics/archie/
>>143982959
This man is correct. There is a brief thing at the start of the reboot concerning alternate memories, but it goes nowhere and just kind of disappears after a few issues, so don't worry

Yup. Also Omega is best Team Dark. You'll see why
>>143989569
I was the same, only got into the (post-reboot) comics a couple weeks ago and it's the best.
Universe seems to have the best stuff on average.
>>143990619
Yes, Team Dark is great and Omega is the best character.
>Issue #108, original Robotnik comes back

Who the fuck are these wizard writers? Sonic Team has been throwing pieces of nonsense at the wall for years, none of which seem to flow into one another to the point where, in Sonic 06 you could have Blaze the Cat standing next to a real-ass cat.
Meanwhile, these writers are just rolling with the punches and making them all work!
>>143991560
Man oh man you haven't even gotten to the worst parts of the Dark Ages yet.
>>143990580
This was already posted here >>143979830 and explained here >>143980462. It's nothing worth ruffling feathers about.
>>143988675
There's no coverage on this game anywhere. Just one video on youtube and it's in Russian. How is this not more of a thing? Seems like it should be especially if it won RAGE.
>>143992057
I was about to say myself, I just watched the video. It's just Gamespot being the dipshit game "journalists" they are with their clickbait.

>>143991775
ian flynn's thing is that he makes a world and timeline then thinks of stories to take place in it.
He also loves doing researching. I think he said once that research on franchises is easy to do today by just trawling any fan wiki for a few hours.
He wrote out all of Worlds Collide after Mega Man #1 on the off chance he would get to do a crossover.
>>143958989
imagine waking up to that..
*shudders*
Was that like a classroom skeleton?
Think of that shit you donate your body to science shit.. and this is what happens
>>143991775
It really warms my heart when I see people getting introduced to thegoodparts of the comics and getting this excited. Glad you're enjoying it anon!
>>143992771
Imagine if he wrote for a Sonic game... What if he wrote for THIS year's game?
>>143992895
Oh yeah. I'm diggin' it. The hardest part so far is deciding which Sonic and Tails voices to read their lines in in my head, ya know? I keep getting a jumbled mess of all of them. Like I said, I'm not much of a comic guy, so having to put voices to the images is kind of a new thing for me.
>>143989569
Same anon
I started reading the Sonic Universe series a couple days ago.. all these characters are fucking so much cooler.. and they all have flaws and depth to them.The one thing i wish were different was the kids designs.. the look to simlar to the parents and i cant tell these fucking echidnas apart
>>143993426
cutscenes up the ass. I don't think he should write for the games, he's, oddly enough, too good at telling a story. In a game you have to tailor the story so that it justifies going through levels and stuff.
Then again, he's proven good at writing under some pretty severe restrictions.

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
>>143993714
Honestly, after all we've been through, I wouldn't mind a plot-heavy world-building Sonic game that seeks to make the fragmented game lore a bit more cohesive.
As long as the plot keeps the player going from place to place I see no problem with giving it a shot.
>>143993426
>>143993714
I actually think he's the opposite. The actual stories he tells are pretty basic and simple. The main draw is his character writing and continuity callbacks. Because of this he'd probably be better in the games than most people would think.
I can't wait to see what Ian's got planned after the SWC is finished!
>>143993953DEJA VU plays as the GUN TRUCK is seen drifting throught the city, dangerously catching up to sonic.
>>143993426
Alright. About to jump into Universe 55. Let's see what we've got!
>>143990580
Now i remember why I left /v/ in the first place.
>>143994528
Reporting in from my experience:
>Blaze confirmed badass
>Cream & Cheese confirmed cute
>Marine confirmed "God damnit, Ross"
>Bean and Bark confirmed existing.
So far, I'm on board. Let's see where this ship sails to.
>>143996362
One piece of advice: skip the Worlds Unite crossover in its entirety. It's badly paced, interrupts the flow the main comic and SU had finally achieved, and has zero bearing on the stories in progress since it retcons itself Sonic 06 - style at the end.
Tl;dr: skip Worlds Unite. It ain't worth it.
>>143966342
Almost everything about the story in gotf is kinda bad, like every single weird descision gives no fucks to the lore and reeks of weird fanfiction.
However sonic/tikal I surprisingly don't mind.
Its the kind of interaction I think would be interesting to see.
>>143996783
Wait, so there's another crossover? Didn't we just have one? Seems kind of silly to have a crossover that results in a reboot only to have another crossover. What issue does that start at so I know to skip it?
>>143997159
>Didn't we just have one? Seems kind of silly to have a crossover that results in a reboot only to have another crossover.
Congratulations, you are smarter than the editor
>What issue does that start at so I know to skip it?
It starts at Universe 76, so when you're reading, skip immediately from Universe 75 to Universe 79
>>143997545
Got it. Thanks! I'll likely skim it to see what cameos they drop in, but that's it.
>>143997730

Kaminski was a shit editor. The second crossover was pretty much his fan fiction, and probably resume padding for when he left to work at DC Comics.

Shadow you fucked up goddamnCassia best girl tho.
>>143998025
Ian wanted to do a hard reboot I believe, but the editor pushed the alternate memories bullshit so he could still plug the old graphic novels. Said they still mattered.

>>143978571
>>143997923
>mfw graduated last week
>>143998673
Wait, does this mean Tails remember he had parents?And that they were erased from time.
And that Sallymother was actually alive.And so Rotorparents?
This new timeline is pretty creepy.
>>143999141
For a time they did, but gradually those memories faded and were replaced by the memories of the universe they were in. But it's still fucked up. At least Knuckles didn't get zapped. I don't think he could've ever recovered
>>143999254
oh shit I totally forgot knux didn't get in on the reboot party! Maybe now he can finally be happy.
>>143999329
Yeah, the characters quickly forgot about the old universe. By #159 I believe.
>>143999329
New comic guy here. You say that Knuckles didn't get rebooted?... Should I be worried once I get to his stuff?
>>143999648
>By #259 I believe.
FTFY and yes, they do
>>143999712
No, he got rebooted with everyone else. He just doesn't get subjected to learning about his pre-reboot memories, that's all. Knuckles is basically like his Adventure-era self here
>>143999712
The Knuckles comic ended a long time ago, before even Adventure was released. It was only 32 issues, all of them garbage.
>>143999826
>>143999834
'Kay. Cool. Good to know. Do I get to learn a little bit about Knuckles' tribe and maybe even some things about the tribe talked about in Chronicles at any point after the reboot? Again, I know nothing about the comics, but I am very savvy with the game lore.
onine hand, I'm glad he never got to remember.
On the other... That so many people could be erased in a heartbeat...
people you grew with, none the less...
Penders destroyed his own legacy.
but there is a meager compensation, if anything.No more egg grapes.No more genocides. A line was crossed there
>>144000327
>Do I get to learn a little bit about Knuckles' tribe and maybe even some things about the tribe talked about in Chronicles at any point after the reboot? Again, I know nothing about the comics, but I am very savvy with the game lore.
The Pachamac tribe stuff hasn't really been touched upon yet (And I don't see it being touched on for a while unless plot points from SA1 become relevant again), and stuff from Chronicles probably can't be touched for legal reasons
>>144000551
Alright then. Good deal. I'll keep readin' then.
>>144000327
Knuckles had a huge massive retarded clusterfuck of a backstory in the pre-reboot continuity and all of it was tossed out. Chronicles stuff can't be used because of reasons. You get a bit of lore merging between Adventure and Unleashed but other than that Knuckles is stuck between a rock and a hard place in terms of how much backstory they're allowed to elaborate on, so it seems the status quo for him is to focus on his character and relationships rather than his backstory.
>>144000551
>>144000772
Oh jeez. I can only imagine the what-the-fuck-ery. Glad I'm jumping on this train at this point!
Also, Captain Metal looks awful familar... Could he be the Metal Sonic of Blaze's world?
>>144001285
He was initially supposed to be the rebuilt remains of a Metal Sonic from Sonic's world who ended up in Blaze's world and destroyed (this was back when Metal Sonics were churned out like mooks in the comics), but since that happened before the reboot it ended up dropped. Blaze's arc was probably already mostly planned out and written prior to the reboot.
>>143999712
everyone gets rebooted, it's just that only about 5 of them get to keep their memories of the old continuity (for a very short while to push older trades sales) but it's a marginal thing, don't worry about it and enjoy the ride anon, you're in for some great stuff!
also I just started playing the advance games for the first time this week (on 2 at the minute). I can see how cream got her appeal, I mean the game basically starts off as sonic, you unlock her immediately and then when you get beat down as sonic (I find it difficult playing as him, I'm rusty as fuck) being able to play as someone that can fly and totally destroy the bosses with no problem means a lot of people probably played as her a bit.
Fuck me if I can't even beat the first special stage though, jesus christ.
>>144001285
no, Captain Metal is still Metal Sonic 3.5 of the old universe. How exactly Blaze's universe was affected by the reboot is kind of confusing, since, Blaze, Amy, and Cream, apparently just woke up there and did what their memeories said they were doing. Bean and Bark are also in Blaze's universe, apparently they were shunted into there along with all non-important characters during the crossover and never left.The Egg O' War is a salcaged Egg Wily Egg. Also, Since Snively survived the genesis wave into the first crossover, he's also on the Egg O' War somewhere, but is on the bottom of the ocean.
>>144002060
isn't it revealed later thatthe genesis wave reset every dimension in the multiverse? stands to reason it'd affect blazes in the same way aswell.
But what I really want to is
The egg o war and a metal sonic end up there so does that mean Captain Metal has memories of the prior continuity? Because having a robot that can't forget the old continuity show up and fuck with the team by reminding them of things they never knew they lost (except sonic who might still remember a little but at this point will use his word against CM's and maybe lie to his team who have now mostly forgotten (or in knuckles case never knew) to save them from heartache they don't remember) might be pretty badass. And a dimension hopping retconproof robot pirate metal sonic would be a pretty new take on the old Sonic VS Metal dynamic....
Plus can you imagine knuckles finding out and realising sonic never told him? That might actually give them cause for a real all out fight and return knux to fighty rival position!

She's a Robonik. If she lived to adulthood she'd look like the ass end of a lard truck

I'm pretty sure the comic team have abandoned the previous continuity completely. No going back.

So what's this about Nicole having a physical form? I certainly don't remember that from the cartoon and it's one of the few things that has me confused, which so far is a pretty good track record considering I'm only just now hopping into this whole thing.

It's explained more in a future arc, but basically she wants to be a bit more real
>>144003638
Snively's origin story in one of the digests
>>144003696basically, she got a real body made of holograms at some point. Because they wanted a new character that could emote and do stuff. She's largely intangible and at one point the whole of the village they live in is made of nanomachines which she can control so she gets a real form and stuff, but a lot of that is either forgotten in the reboot or reworked.

Her handheld can use ring power to project a hard-light holographic form. Makes her more interesting than just being a talking handheld.

>>144004514
They're pretty skippable. Only origins that are really that different are Rotor and Bunnie and the main comic fills you in on the important stuff anyways

On top of that, where the hell is Dulcy? They mentioned her once in #257, which is where I am now, but they didn't explain where she went. I'm betting that a flying dragon would help during this Station Square crisis.

They remembered that there was an old universe, but they weren't able to remember anything about about it involving things Penders laid claim to. So no, even though Sonic remembered the old universe he didn't remember his parents, Scourge, anything else like that.
>>144006016Scratch and Grounder are already in.

I would honestly be surprised if Sega would let them develop the Knuckles tribe beyond what we've seen in the games.

Woo! Unleashed arc inbound! I'm excited! I wonder how the comics handle direct game plots?
>>144006182I can imagine.
I was tempted to make it run wild for this piece but I decided not to
>>144006595
>I wonder how the comics handle direct game plots?
The way the comic handles Unleashed is a bit iffy, but still enjoyable. The way the comics handle adaptations is that they use the plot of the game as a backdrop while they still do their own thing.
>>144000551
>stuff from Chronicles probably can't be touched for legal reasons
I believe they've commented on this. Legally they can use stuff from Chronicles, but the staff making the comics don't want to whack the wasp hive that is Ken Penders with a stick. They don't really care about Penders himself but doing that would cause more trouble for Sega and they've already threatened to pull the license from them during the first batch of lawsuits.

The should've just came up with an original worldwide crisis rather than use Unleashed the way they have.

https://www.sonicstadium.org/2016/05/sega-in-talks-for-sonic-25th-anniversary-party-in-la/
>>144008982
I agree. Honestly, what's the point of using Unleashed if you are going to barely focus on Chip?
>>144008447
did nicole forget? I know she was the catalyst to them remembering but didn't she explain it to them?
Orbot and cubot seemed to remember when they crash landed with robotnik in 251 which seems like machines would have a better recollection. Maybe robotnik tech has better memory storage, in which case Metal would totally stand a better chance.
>>144009438
Chip sucks, so.

I think all she did was hold the residual energy from the thing. Once everyone got zapped she lost hers
>>144009589
Oh yeah, 06 is canon in the comics. Though the part where everything gets reset because of the flame being blown out is also canon, so there's no need to think about it.
>>144008798
I would rather mine a Mina.

I asked Ian a long time ago on 4chan about it. He just says it eventually would rewrite everything and nothing can stop it. Not hard drives or waifu shielding.
>>144010031
aww. I really wanted an awesome captain metal confrontation bringing nightmares from the old continuity, instead we just get it all wiped which is kinda lame.
I mean I 100% get why they're doing and why they want to do it, but if they can find some way to sorta tie back without admitting they're doing it that would awesome.
>>144009872
Does that mean that they already did an 06 arc before the reboot, or does it just mean that they briefly touched on the location of Soleanna and left it at that?
I'm honestly curious as to how the comic handled that backwards-ass plot.
>>143996814
>reeks of weird fanfiction
Because it is fanfiction. Just because it's written by an official comic artist/writer doesn't change that.
>>144010198
>Does that mean that they already did an 06 arc before the reboot, or does it just mean that they briefly touched on the location of Soleanna and left it at that?
Neither. In fact, 06 is one of the few games the comics haven't even come close to addressing
Though we may see Soleanna at some point in the reboot.
>>144010198
Imagine 06 but Sally and the other FFs stood around doing nothing. That's how the comic would have handled it.
>>144010198
The majority of the games have already happened one way or another in the new continuity. Most not exactly the same as the games' storyline, but yeah. You'll notice that in Champions. Where it has an adaptation in a flashback of an adaptation, within an adaptation.
>>144010192
They're never going to consider anything like that until Penders is dead. And even then, I doubt they still would. They feel touching anything slightly related to him is too risky and I don't blame them.
>>144010198
The comics pretty much ignore 06 entirely. In fact, the only reason we know 06 is canon is because someone asked Ian Flynn, the head writer, about it.
>>144010389
>Imagine 06 but Sally and the other FFs stood around doing nothing. That's how the comic would have handled it.
You know, the idea of pre-reboot 06 would be fun in a "How bad can we make this" sort of way.

Excellent. I'm looking forward to the mindfuck.
So, another question: How do Rings work in this continuity? Is that something that's explained later, or is it something that's carried over from the pre-boot?
Is it just the "Magic pool" method from SatAM?
>>144010771
>So, another question: How do Rings work in this continuity? Is that something that's explained later, or is it something that's carried over from the pre-boot?
Carried over from the pre-reboot I think. Also Red Rings are a thingAlso just a minor thing but can you stop avatarfagging with the fake smash pics?

Instead of bitching about shit, how about you inform yourself if you really care that much. The archie Sonic wiki is a thing that exists.
>>144011230
I don't mind answering their questions, it's nice to see someone new enjoying the reboot. Not like we're talking about anything else lately.
>>144010871
Fair enough. My bad. Like I said, new here.
Also, side-node: I love how they do Sonic's spinny-legs in this art-style. It's very messy, but in a good way.
>>144011230
Who's bitching? I'm just excited to see how deep this rabbit-hole goes. Though perhaps a different turn-of-phrase would be more appropriate. Sorry, Bunnie.
Can't wait for the MLP crossover!
>>144011661
From what I'm reading, you. You're making a mountain out of a molehill when the continuity of the comics as of the reboot is not much more than that of the games.
>>144011668
If that actually happened, it'd probably would become impossible to discuss Sonic here.

As someone who is only familiar with the games it's just a bit jarring to jump into the comics and have every facet of the lore from the Classic games, to the TV shows to the Adventure games, to the Modern games and have them all be represented equally is just a really refreshing sight to see for me, you know?
But, very well. If you'd prefer that I not share my excitement with the excellent folks who helped me find where to start my journey in the first place, then fine. I'll just read in peace.

Be excited but don't act like it's some chore. It's a comic. Very rarely does complex shit show up in them that works and isn't retconned by a smarter writer/event in the future.

Got it. I'll just roll with the punches as they come. If that other Anon wasn't fucking with me and they actually start throwing in "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" elements in later on, there's no telling what's in store.
I suppose there's no recourse but to tackle it head-on and enjoy the ride.
