My neighborhood on South Island was small, but so was I. My dreams were big, to be a rock and roll star, and make it there faster than anyone. I only had a few friends to play with, Maxx the Monkey, Mach the Rabbit, Sharps the Chicken, and the absolutely tone deaf Vector the Crocodile. It was abundantly clear he could never be our lead vocalist, so we asked the only person we knew with pipes worth writing home about, Madonna.
So I asked her if she'd like to come over, her response was an emphatic yes. "But," she said, "I thought it was just going to be you and me."
I'd just be happy with an Advance style HD game. Sonic, Tails, Amy, & Knuckles playable. Lot of colorful zones.
That'll never happen though.
>>145589998
No, because it turns out he's eggman as a kid, and that causes a timeloop.

Because of the convoluted way anime production works, the rights to anything made for the OVA are likely split between SEGA, Studio Pierrot, and a third company that doesn't exist anymore. It's ot so much that SEGA doesn't have rights to the OVA, they just don't have exclusive rights and neither they nor Studio Pierrot care enough to get full rights from the other.

This is the last one I have, promise.
Besides, what are we going to talk about? That fantastic Dawn of War: Mobius trailer we saw at E3 where Team Sonic and Relic teamed up to bring us a 'what-if' scenario where Sonic and his friends must defend Mobius from the approaching Ordo Xenos?
I don't get it. Why is Madonna so popular when she's only appeared in a spin off issue and hasn't done anything of real significance?
>>145591105
He's fast
>>145591614
Because she's a combined reference to unused Sonic lore as well as a generally liked Sonic X character.
>>145591373
There's something about that Katella that makes her sexy.
It's not the fact that she's completely naked and she has the perfect body... it'sher face.
>>145591649
It's not his speed.
He must be using the Chaos emerald to warp.
>>145591614
If you commission enough good artists you can make anything popular
>>145591735
I agree, it's slightly alluring rather than sneering like she's usually drawn
>>145591614
You should be asking why Katella's so popular when she's an annoying shitty character.

Zelda best game there.
Kojima is fucking weird and thank god he got Sony and didn't do an Inafune.
Sonic better show magic on the 22nd or I'llload up Sonic CD again and play that like I have the past 4 fucking years.
>>145594037
>Sonic better show magic on the 22nd or I'll load up Sonic CD again and play that like I have the past 4 fucking years.
Load it up right now anon because we ain't getting shit
>>145594005
>>145592842
A lot of the things in the Sony presentation looked good but the other presentations were complete letdowns.
RE7, the Crash remakes, Kojima's new game, DR4, and Zelda take the cake, though.

Sonic #281 went down to 6,773 direct market unit sales.
>>145595330
What was 280's?
>>145595330
And Universe is still under 6k too.
>>145595806
Only way it's dying is if Archie goes absolute full retard again
>>145595806
Dunno what they expected after going on a 3 month unexplained hiatus.
>>145595330
>>145595735
Jesus Christ, that's getting bad.
>>145595330
wait so direct market is just like actual comic shops right? does that include the archie app they keep pushing or the supermarket sales?
>>145596185
Honestly I expected worse from a non-Big 2 licensed comic for a franchise that's more of a punchline than a legitimate franchise nowadays
>>145596307
To answer the first part, yes. And that's Diamond numbers, and iirc, Archie doesn't go through Diamond distribution. I could be wrong.
>>145596714
I refuse to buy it again until Unleashed is over. Why pay for something I've already seen completed not once, but twice? We know the overall outcome because it's an adaptation of a game and we know they do infact collect all the things and fix the world because they did so before WU put things that were already having trouble getting reestablished in reverse and reset them back to where they were before WU started. They can get my money when they give me something worth it. Until then, my praise and thoughts is all I will give.
The number of people who buy it online will be much higher. Not only that, it's also brings in more profit as there isn't any distribution.
>>145596714
This desu. I'm a filthy NEET and I still have a digital sub. It's like $8 a month for StH and SU. It's nothing.
>>145596714
The product hasn't been too great lately. Probably just gonna let my sub run out and take a break from comics for awhile.
All this Madonna and Katella love has got me thinking. Who are some girls in the franchise that you would like to see become more popular?
>>145597736
I want Blaze to become even more popular. Does that count?

But as long as their fans don't become annoying, I don't really have a problem with any character becoming more popular, except maybe with really obscure characters that aren't cute at all.

And yet it'll still sell like hotcakes
>>145598804

>>145597736
Sara, she doesn't get enough love.
>>145599454
She was also the only saiyan of the series
In the Smash Bros series we got a Sonic amiibo, not to mention 3rd parties have had their own amiibo line (like Monster Hunter). Do you perhaps see Sonic getting another amiibo or even his own series? If so what characters would you want to see?
>>145598004
But why? When is the last time you heard someone say the didn't like Blaze?
>>145598061
>Tails.
>girl
anon we've been over this
>>145599658
Nah.
>>145599658
I can only see maybe Tails or BoomSonic getting one. Amiibos are kinda shit anyway
>>145598283
>£50 for a digital subscription
How long does that last? A two year physical subscription for Sonic is only $48, I can't imagine paying nearly double that for a digital subscription.
>>145599874
A year.
It's 96 issues a year though.
>>145599658
only major franchises and people with money get them.
>>145599978
Alright, makes sense with that number of issues then.
>>145599658
I don't see it but I'd buy the shit out of a Blaze amiibo
>>145599776
Eh. If Tails were confirmed a girl she'd suddenly be a huge tomboy just to fuck with all your cute senses.
>>145600380
Nah, Blaze deserves to be clean.

>Will Fang ever appear in any new Sonic game?
>Will Taxman ever make an original Sonic game?

Where do I go to order a prescription again? Feel like it's long over due I pay them a bit
>>145596714
I haven't played a single sonic game that came out in the last decade either
>>145607608
Actually it is since me and the others that buy the comic are what give Archie and the people that make the comic their paycheck. If my words are not enough for them then my wallet will speak louder.
>>145608224
It's about the journey not the ending. But I already know how Sonic and Chip will resolve this and I already know that the FFs will get all the things they need due to the game Unleashed and what the first issues of WU showed me. There will not be much worth actually reading in that regard. Why do you think they have added so much on the side characters and given them so much emphasis and attention as of late? Because the ending and the events directly prior to the ending have already been seen in what is basically their entirety. As such they will get money from me again when some new original plotlines show up and some events that I cannot predict start to happen. It's what made the comic shine so well at the height of Ian's run pre-reboot and it will continue to do so in the future.
>>145604679
It didn't even need 3 seasons to begin with
>>145608492
http://archiecomics.stores.yahoo.net/sonic.html
>>145608627
>It's about the journey not the ending.
Then why are you handwaving the journey? The Unleashed "arc" was just a framing device, there have already been multiple plot threads that have started that will continue after this is over, and there probably will be more set up during the conclusion.
>>145608628
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/SonicXDarkChaos
>The story is a full remake of the third and final season of Sonic X. When a young alien girl crashes on their world, Sonic and his friends discover that she is being hunted by a powerful new foe; an android fox known as Tsali the Ultimate Weapon, who has declared genocide on her people and hunted them down to extinction for reasons unknown. Our heroes go into space to stop this new enemy and find the Chaos Emeralds.
>What makes it somewhat unique among Sonic fanfiction is its complex, extremely dark, and Troperiffic Science Fantasy setting, combining themes from sources as varied as Warhammer 40,000, Diablo, the Metroid games, the works of H.P. Lovecraft, and death metal.

That's super cute! Who's the artist?
SONIC 4 WAS SHIIIIIIIIIT
>>145608928
I can assume from WU and Unleashed what the journey will be/has been and as such it has been even less impressive due to that on top of the rocky start they had to this whole thing due to the reboot. I know/knew nothing special would happen at all during the main comic, SoL being an exception along with them meeting the underwater city and the people at the shrine and Eggboss arcs. Only reason I got another Universe sub is because it has less restrictions on what I can get out of it which usually means that I'll get more for my money even during one of the most standard and bland sagas Ian was written since he's been in charge of writing the comic as a whole.

So what the actual fuck happened in Sonic 06's story? what the fuck was that solaris final boss, was it mephelis and iblis merged together? what the fuck even was that attempt at a story?
>>145613130
>what the fuck was that solaris final boss, was it mephelis and iblis merged together?
Yes, it was the original being.
>>145613130
>>145613130
yes it was, it was a time monster. Iblis and Mephiles had to merge to become complete. It's an unfitting story for sonic but thats what happened
>>145613130
Like everything else in the game, it was rushed, chopped up and severely unpolished. The core of the story probably would've still been retarded had the game gotten a full development process, but it would've at least gone through a few more revisions to have some things make more sense.
>>145613002
Porn. This is porn.
>No NX info until Fall

>>145613130
Sonic: Sonic wants to stop eggman and save a girl. The girl is a macguffin and contains an ancient evil (like the master emerald with Chaos) that will only be awakened if she cries. That's pretty much the entire depth of his story
Shadow: Shadow is working for G.U.N. to put stop eggman from obtaining unleashing iblis, who resides in Elise, and Mephelis, and in doing so, he releases Mephelis who takes shadow's form. Shadow then decides he wants to stop Mephelis, and travels through time to do so.
Silver: Silver is told by Mephelis, who is disguised as shadow, that Sonic is the reason his future is fucked up, finds a way to travel to the past and kill Sonic, but ends up finding out Mephelis is the bad guy. He then teams up with Sonic and Shadow to save the world.
Mephiles: Kills sonic and merges with his current counterpart Iblis to form Solaris. The other characters travel through dimensions in an attempt to gather the chaos emeralds and revive Sonic. It works, they beat solaris, the timeline is erased and nothing happened.
>>145613663
The earlier the reveal, the long the hype will have to die out. Watch the new Zelda go from being 10/10 GOTY to "lel 30fps sold my WiiU" before the end of summer.
Hold the fuck on. On the Sega E3 video from today, Aaron said that Hoshino created Shadow. I thought Iizuka did that.
>>145614387
Retro agrees with you. It also says that Sonic Team sent the development team for SA2 over to the U.S. specifically to try and repeat the circumstances of Sonic 2's development.
>>145614387

Hashing created Shadow's design, whereas Iizuka wrote Shadow's character and directed Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes, along with having a hand in Shadow the Hedgehog.

Put that calamari in the fryer!

I usually sleep 5 or 4. You need more sanics.

You understand if you don't buy the comic there won't be a a comic, and that decisions are made far in advance of any current arc, so by the time you decide "Hur dur I'm gonna buy it again", they'll be looking at the sales figures for six months back, right?

I can't believe I don't have that one comic where Mephiles convinces Silver to trust him while wearing various hats
>>145625192
No sorry,
Trying to get a Prrrrrrrromotion at my job. I need my rest for the long day ahead.
Goodnight you fast fucks.

If the comic is not good then it is not worth having.
>>145620792
daily reminder that blaze is insecure about her flat cheast
>>145625548
That's the thing, the comic IS good, and you're reading it. If you go see a bad movie you don't get your money back
>>145625483
Well you're a faggot andgood luck with your day and the promotion
>>145626039
Since a few issues after the reboot is has not been, spare for the time given to the side characters like the eggbosses, and WU was an actual insult.
And yes I do.
>>145626904
Finally we're reaching the climax of this arc, how long has it been? Three years?
>>145627187
Yup
>>145627230
Gotta move at a glacier's pace
>>145627320
Well it certainly wasn't helped by the editor deciding "You know what, we need to sell trades, so let's have the characters remember the pre-reboot" then 2 years later say "You know what we need, ANOTHER CROSSOVER" and then an unannounced 3 month hiatus. If WU and the hiatus didn't happen we would've been done by now. Granted, the pacing outside of that was still fucked, but that didn't help at all
>>145626904
But did you read the comic when some kind anon storytimed it here?
You don't need to buy Every one if its to your dissatisfaction, I don't.
Sometimes, I'll buy those digests at Publix or whatever. Not every comic. I just want Ian and his cronies to have enough food to write and draw another day.
>>145626904
You're just... picky.
>>145627593
I will never read WU so it's extra not-fast for me. At least Universe has been top notch through it all, with Knuckles, team dark shenanigans and the eggman that's what I am.
>>145627187
A few years. Thank god it's ending.
>>145627613
I buy subscriptions. Gives them more money and far less of a hassle on my end. They get that sub as long as I view the product worth getting. That's how it works.
>>145627650
If that's what you want to call it, sure.
>>145627791
>I will never read WU so it's extra not-fast for me.
And you miss absolutely nothing of value by doing so. If only the rest of us were so fortunate. Those 3 months where that was the only thing that was storytimed were fucking awful
>>145627650
Picky is cute
