Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Comics (Hit Reset Button?)

[oldmanwinters]

And now I'll share my biggest disappointment with this issue: the much anticipated debut of

Spoiler:

"Titan Metal Sonic."

As a proud Sega 32X owner, that little Knuckles Chaotix shout-out gave me a happy feeling!

After that fantastic debut panel, I was fulling expecting to see him in all his metallic glory in at least one double page spread. I figured he'd be the main threat of the issue. In fact, he would only appear on a couple more pages before

Spoiler:

being dispatched all too easily by Naugus' "crystal beam."

It seems like every time a Metal-Sonic variation appears in this series, they are quickly dispatched by the issue's end. It's like a running gag where the character is built up to be something awesome and then quickly discarded so the next plot point can be addressed.

Picked up Archives 15 and 16 as well as Knuckles vol. 1 last week. Having a blast reading them.

Picked up a few issues recently, work and illness haven't let me get back into comics as much as I'd like but I almost always keep up wityh the Sonic books. Sally was always my favorite character in the books, it'll be interesting to see where the fallout from the last few issues takes things...

As a long-time fan of the Satam cartoon, Mecha-Sally's little quip gave me a nostalgia-induced smile:

Spoiler:

I've read on the internet that veteran readers of the comic are calling for Ian Flynn's head on a platter for this Genesis Fallout storyline, but I am really enjoying the juxtaposition of vintage 90s references with modern stylings.

Good to know that Sally's still got her "wits," if not her free-will.

I swear that fanbase will only ever be happy if Archie publishes 20000 consistent issues of Sonic and Sally repeating their wedding vows panel after panel (to be honest, I'm STILL surprised Sega allowed the Future Mobius stories to even exist, "possible/alternate future" or otherwise, it's STILL showing Sonic in a more grown-up and advanced role than we'll ever see him in the regular books).

I'm enjoying these stories as well. Is Sal being a cyborg the most original thing this book has done? No, it's Uncle Chuck with tits, but it certaingly beats turning the comic into Coronation Street

If you think things are bad between Ian and the fans now, wait until the order comes down to adapt Sonic 4...
