Major News On Sonic Archie Comic
After twelve years as head writer, Ken Penders is leaving the Archie Sonic The Hedgehog publication, he will be replaced by Sabrina writer Tania Del Rio, and Ian Flyyn, better known for his work on Sonic fancomics.
Hopefully this freshens the comic up and takes it back to its' roots, I've long wanted Sonic to just reunite with Sally and return to the core basics of Satam, , Sonic vs Robotnik/Eggman. Bottom line. |

I've only read the new stuff (previous 15 or so issues) and I've been pleased with the format. My only experience with the "classic days" is the SatAM cartoon, but I've liked seeing that the characters have grown and progressed a bit.
My only complaint is that Sonic needs to stop sleeping around. He's coming off like a real man-whore. |

Exhaggeration.
But yeah, there was an issue not too long ago where all these different chicks send letters in to a "Dear Abby" parody and they're all pouting over their failed relationships with Sonic. Sally, Amy, Mina...at one point Bunnie was actually hitting on him...now he's hooked up with some chick named Fiona Fox or something. I think Zarious is right about the "romance novel" parallel. Sonic's a bigger man-whore than Green Arrow. |

...I just saw the original SX Shadow saga, you know, with the scene where Shadow keeps throwing Chris across the space platform. ...There was this website that kept looping a .gif of it. |

Interesting. While the comic could stand to improve on the writing, I quite like both the current status quo and the direction of the series. I'll be quite glad to see the former improve, if the latter remains as if. We'll see.

So with the new writer Flyyn on board, Sonic's Archie run is hoping to get back to the roots of the series. Not only does "The Darkest Storm" three parter and it's build up bring back the characters of Ixus Nagus and Snivley in a new "Segasonic" look to the fold, but the conclusion of the arc implies that Eggman's A.D.A.M battle computer is in reality

I've got a friend who will flip out in joy over this. As for me, i don't give a fu*k anymore. I gave up on Archie, Sonic, and Sega in general after Shadow the hedgehog and the Sammy buyout.

"The Darkest Storm" arc has been the best thing to happen in the comic in a looooong time.
That surprise twist-ending got me all excited. Been a damn long time since the Archie Sonic comic had me excited about anything. It used to just be "Oh boy. Another month, another story about Sonic and his love life..." Now it's pretty kickass. |

I had no idea Sonic the Hedgehog was still being published after all these years! Wow, what a run...
My memory is pretty clouded, but the last issues I remember reading were back in the mid-90s, where the artwork changed significantly and the main characters always faced off against -- if my memory serves me correctly -- green robots? Does anyone else remember this? |
