New IDW Sonic the Hedgehog comic
New IDW Sonic the Hedgehog comic info to be detailed out at NY Comic Con
https://t.co/NJZuGHt7Rb?amp=1 BULLETIN: IDW Publishing to reveal 1st details on new Sonic comics Sunday 10/8 at NY Comic Con - TSSZ will have full coverage. We still do not know what characters will stay, what characters will go, or really anything. In fact, we’re just as uncertain of the IDW Sonic era as we were a few months ago. As it's a new beginning, I believe a new thread is a must. |

I'm still bummed that we lost all those years worth of continuity and all those great characters.
But hopefully IDW'll be able to handle the brand better than Archie did towards the end, and also publish some good stories that'll please us fans. Here's hoping! |

Can't say I'll be too interested if it doesn't have the "Freedom Fighters" or at least Princess Sally, but I hope the comic is good regardless.

Yep. It seems Tyson Hysse (the illustrator/animator of Sonic Mania) is on board with IDW Sonic!

That makes it sound like the SatAM cast might make an appearance. You know if they make it its own thing and not just a cheap Sega marketing the newest game thing and actually a fun fleshed out universe I'd be all over it.
I tried to get into Archie but all the baggage made me not want to check it out for too long but I also don't want what Archie became which was this random hybrid of adapting the Sega stories and then going back to their own stuff. |

Satam ages fine. Still the best Sonic cartoon, and the Archie books were excellent once Flynn took over, though I do have some fondness for Penders if only because he had the kahoonas to marry Sonic off to Sally in Moebius 25 Years Later (was that Penders?)
Flynn has been hired to write the IDW books https://www.newsarama.com/36834-clas...-relaunch.html |

Hey, more power to you. If you still think it's good, right on. I... kind of don't. It's one of those shows where I had a lot of fond memories and wish I hadn't tried to go back to it. There are some eighties cartoons I loved that were like that for me too. Maybe my nostalgia goggles are broken or something.

I think I've enjoyed Sonic Boom more than any of them, really, but again, unfair to compare. Quote:

As a kid I really liked SATAM and hated AOSTH, the former sadly was the one that was always on and I would rarely catch SATAM. Then around the Gamecube era I started watching AOSTH on Toon Disney and started to like it but I really wanted to watch SATAM after all the praise it got, when the DVDs finally came out and I got to check the show out I was disappointed by how average it was.
It's not that it's a bad show, it just doesn't compare to other 90s greats like Gargoyles or BTAS while it's praised as if it were. On the other hand I was able to appreciate AOSTH more. Now Sonic Underground I like that it exists but boy was it terrible, here is my review of all three DIC Sonic Cartoons I did a long while ago and I think in that link you can also find how I fit all three DIC cartoons in the same continuity and Sonic X/OVA review. Having the Freedom Fighters being a faction Sonic interacts from time to time would be awesome, have the original SATAM cast as a team, hell add Sonia/Manic from Underground to the team, it can have the original or re-designs and have them come from the city of "Mobius", that would be the best way to handle it, you can even add some dialog for Sally when meeting Sonic "Oh, it's nothing, I just felt as if we had met before" or whatever to appease fans that the other happened in another universe. |

I've taken some s*** in the past for liking that show; thankfully most of it just from friends who weren't too dickish about it. People give it a lot of crap, but it's a decent enough time. Sonic filtered through Looney Tunes. I think it's because it's comedic, which tends to get a knee jerk reaction of "ew" from some people when there's an alternative. Some people just genuinely like the drama of the other show better, some are the eye rolling "that show is better because OMG it's so dark" sort I just write off immediately, some could just never get into the silliness of AoStH. There are all sorts, I guess. I wish some people gave it more of a fair chance. I mean, both shows are over, so it's not like it matters anymore which is "better".

I will say Adventures of Sonic probably has the best villain ensemble out of the lot...Scratch, Grounder, Coconuts, and Robotnik were just hilarious.

Yeah. I'm a little surprised that at least Scratch and Grounder didn't become canon immigrants. They're easily recognizable characters with good designs and personality. I like Cubot and Orbot a lot, but there's no reason Scratch and Grounder couldn't be around too.
