after this story arch, ian flynn said that he was going to have stories that focus on the other characters. what stories would you like to see. for me, i defiantly want to see a tails and nicole story. weather it's like with nicole or espio or just a story of the two going on an adventure and all, i would like to see something of the sort. a story with knuckles or shadow would be good too, but what do you guys think? what stories would you like to see that focus on other characters.

the same ken panders who's sending out wired tweets told me something intresting today. there was going to be a movie based on what he did on the comics. he had the backing of a producer of the animated x men series, and the project was meant for 2011. this sadly didn't come to be as one of the supporting people passed away.   what do you guys think of all of this?

Guys: word on the street has it Archie may be selling the rights to sonic.  Forget the new panders situation, if this is the case we got a bigger problem 

Sorry guys on here if topics surrounding mr.panders lawsuit are making you hate me, but one thing i can't help but ask is who (who was not made by panders) do you think we could see return in the comics again. we have storm back which took me by surprise, and i think/hope that others we may see include -ash mongoose -mina -li moon -snively -iron nicole. what's your say in this guys.

so ships in the series can no longer happen due to archie fearing sega will take the license away from them (the comic book is more closer to the series.) if this situation ever blows over or ends, do you think we'll see couples in the series again?

now I know what you guys are thinking, team random come on now, panders won, you should know this by now. Well, panders said he doesn't have Fiona fox's rights. I know other writers characters have been taken out, but would it kill Archie to maybe ask the writers permission to use there characters or reintroduce Fiona? 

It has come to my attention that certain Archie issues in the of the Comics section have pages that are either incomplete, or "corrupted" with black boxes that shouldn't be there. When time permits, the admins really should correct these errors by re-uploading the original image files.   Pages that need fixing are 12, 13, 14 and 15 of Sonic the Hedgehog #5. and, 20 and 21 of Sonic the Hedgehog #43  

teamradnom21 (me): hey guys! glad you could make it. in room with everyone from the comic series, even panders characters knuckles: so what's this meeting all about? teamrandom21: well, i want you all to be a part of something...a fan fiction series. scourage: what! sally: come on now teamrandom21, no offense to you or any other fan fiction writers but, well, while some are good, there are those stories that are just... scourage: horrible! terrible! madness! like a bad fever dream acid trip. teamrandom21: look guys i know this is bad but come on now, i'm tired of the comics begin ruined because panders wants lara-su to be in some comic (or manga as i call it just to clown honk panders off) that looks like a very bad fever dream after reading all the knuckles comics. no offense knuckles. knuckles: none taken. teamrandom21: that and come on guys, don't you want to work with each other again, all of you. everyone looks around at each other scourage: well i do want to live up to my promise of "big plans" for sonic's world. fiona: and i do miss tails a bit... teamrandom21: exactly! come on guys, so what if this is fan fiction? i'm tired of the comics and other great things suffering either cause sega goofed up or panders wants to pull a lawsuit card. all's i ask is for you people to be a part of this fan fiction series for the fans, by the fans! scourage: and panders can't sue us cause it's just fan fiction, and we're not making any money off it. teamrandom21: yes! (sadly) but yes, now come on, let's do this! are you ready? everyone: yeah! teamrandom21: then let's do this! for the fans! everyone: yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

alright guys, i've talked about sad and dissapointing, now let's add some positivity to the mix. what are do you think are some of the most cute and touching moments in the sonic comic's?

sorry i'm once again bringing up the ken panders lawsuit, but am i the only one wondering how the story would have played out if the lawsuit never happen? what are some things you think would have happen if panders never sued (or archie)

alright, i know this is going to get some people mad at me but because the sonic SCANF community didn't mind my which ships did you want to see list, i'll give you a top 5 ships that i ship from the sonic universe. and because i'm bad at intros let's just get into it. number 4 : sonic x amy (in the boom universe) sorry amy in the games and comic but boom amy seems a bit more mature and non stalker-ish or obsessed with sonic, i mean sure it's there but she keeps it a secret while game and other forms of amy mind as well hold a sign bigger then a billboard saying "I LOVE SONIC!" or "SONIC SENPAI NOTICE ME!" also boom sonic seems to have the same feelings as well. number 3: shadow x amy shadow is 50 years old my foot sonic fan base. Shadow doesn't look 50 and let's be honest, the age's in sonic's universe are complicated as all heck. if it wasn't for the characters just outright saying there name or it begin in there bio i wouldn't know what there age would be. And no i don't ship these two because of amy accidentally hugging shadow, i ship it because well, who's to say amy or shadow won't have more encounters in the future. also flynn if you make amy x tails cannon i swear to god I'll-techinical difficulties sonic  x blaze number 2  i don't mind sonic x sally that much, but something about sonic x blaze just shouts "that would work" for me. Maybe it's some of the shipping hints in the games, or maybe it's because looking back i kind of see blaze and silver as more of a brother and sister relationship, but i wouldn't mind one bit if these two got together. Sorry sally but that dude who headcannoned that you're not into anyone post genesis wave is onto something...not to mention you probably were brain washed by sega... sega: holding up men in black memory forgetting device  you never loved sonic the hedgehog f number 1: tails x fiona and tails x nicole i'm sorry guys but i can't decide. number 1 has to be a tie. tails x fiona because i feel bad for fiona fox. her betrail and slapping tails is because she was a train wreak, with a bad past and childhood begin left behind by the freedom fighters. If tails can just understand this, i have a feeling the two are gonna get together, or would have. besides, i see tails as a forgiving guy, and he didn't know about her past. nicole and tails because while nicole is an AI, who's to say she can't or won't become real someday? other then that the two are tech sabby and i know i'm not the only one in this fandom who wants to see tails cheer up or talk to nicole when she's feeling left out because she's an AI and not a real begin like all the others. If sega still doesn't want ships to happen i hope flynn can at least do that, and give the fans at least a close enough moment to a ship with the two, that and there isn't much evidence of the two begin anything more then friends, and standing next to each other doesn't count unless there blushing or something...on a final note now with fiona MIA, i definatly want this ship to become cannon in the comics.  sega: I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this is team random21 signing out. tell me which ships you ship and why and what you thought of this list, and if i should do more.

what funny off panel strips do you want to see in the future. i know it's 99.9 precent impossible but i want there to be one where tails is taking a picture/selfies with the distructic's or all the ken panders characters and ian flynn or sonic come up to him and say "what's the meaning of this!?!" and tails just shrugs saying "what? i know i'm not the only one missing them..."

what are some things you want to see happen in the future for the comics. this goes for story lines, characters, or anything else you'd like to see happen in both STH and SU

i'm gonna be honest here, i feel bad for ian fylnn. Ever since the lawsuit i feel like there's more and more restrictions that sega (the same people who technically caused the lawsuit). are putting on the comics, such as not using the term "mobious" as i saw in one video. Flynns response to the tweet (a somewhat rude i can't use it), is understandable cause as someone on here said he's in a war he doesn't want to be in.    I really hope all this stuff blows over with the comics and things get semi back to normal, old news or not i still feel the comic is topsy turvey and the 2nd crossover was just made to distract fans while archie try's to find out what the heck to do next.

On this topic, you can share your favorite crossovers involving the Sonic franchises. And now, my favorite crossovers with Sonic franchises are Super Smash Bros. franchises including Mega Man, Pac-Man, and Metal Gear franchises, Spyro the Dragon franchises, and Transformers franchises. So, what are your favorite crossovers with the Sonic franchises? ^_^

Whether it be Shadow The Hedgehog, Enerjak, Silver, Mogul or even Sonic himself, Archie Comics is famous for its portrayal of powerful characters. But what about broken characters? Characters that are so far beyond the individuals of their Universes that they are only defeated by luck, chance, stupidity or through sacrifice of precious lives. What Sonic The Hedgehog characters do you think are overpowered?

I was looking at Sonic and Tails age on SonicNewsNetwork and Sonic Encyclopedia and it says the current age for Sonic (after the second genisis wave) is still 17 while Tails age has gone from 11 back to 8. Why is that? Is their any proof? I really like Tails and i think he is one of the best characters in the series. I would like to see him evolve in age as well as character. He was soon going to turn 12 and later Sonic would turn 18. I know this isn't a big deal but when i saw Tail's age it really bothered me, I don't know why... Hopefully its just an error. For now i will just ignore and say he is still 11.

I bet Flynn got that one thousands of times. "Will Honey show up in comics?". I bet everybody would support. So the real question isn't the one fans ask, but the one Flynn must ask himself. Or rather questions. If Bean and Bark are bad guys, should Honey be too? Should she be a mercenary? What can she add to comics? What she would be like? What would be her powers? Of course since Honey is based on character from Fighting Vipers (who was renamed Candy in USA), Honey could simply be exactly the same, but some may consider that approach lazy and "fashionista that joined tournament to promote her line of clothing" probably wouldn't translate correctly. Personally I wouldn't mind if she was a bad, since we kind lost all female villains, but I'm open to interpretation. Candy is "Cute and sweet to be around; usually shy and quiet, but wild and wicked as a Viper" and I guess that this personality just as well as any other. Her abilities are slightly generic: Candy is simply a martial artist, and Honey due to being unfinished has only moves of other characters, mostly Knuckles. Besides fighting skill I considered ability to change size of her hands like characters in Sonic Fighters did but that would be a little weird. One webcomic had a brilliant idea thought: Honey could copy moves of her opponents (get it, she was a "copycat") . See this is why comic book writers can't read fanfiction - Flynn only could use that idea if he came up with it himself. The biggest question is probably how to insert her into comic. In case she couldn't become a full character I had an idea: make her new Bivalve. She could show up in background of the comic whenever action would take place in Mobotropolis, and through those short appearances we could learn more about her. She could be fighting a Eggswat next time Eggman attacks, or show Cream some fighting moves to defend herself. With cleaver planning her appearances could even have some narrative to it. Share your thoughts.

So I was recently looking over at the Bumbleking forums and found this... interesting topic: http://www.bumblekin....php?f=4&t=7415 You may notice that pretty much everyone (both there and even outside the forums) aside from a few are calling this a blatant cash-grab and a gimmick. And you know what? I actually think they're mostly right. It basically just amounts to making you buy the same issue twice, with what is likely a one or two-page difference at the end. While you could argue that they won't be necessary to understand the next issue/arc, to me it still sounds a little bit greedy. This really doesn't help matters here either, as practically all the issues on this website are the standard covers. Luckily, this appears to simply be a 'test' of-sorts, so it won't be permanent (and judging by most people's reactions, I doubt it will return anytime soon). But I'd like to know what you guys think about this: Could it possibly work, or is this just a cheap money-grabber?

Hey, new here so sorry if there's something wrong with my post, but I was wondering what was up with Archie Sonic the hedgehog issue 257? Is the site not gonna upload it, or has it not yet been published? Just wonderin cus it's almost two weeks into the month and it usually pops up around the 4th -7th.

Kinda wondering. Is it possible to put in the Sonic Dash/ Sonic Jump and/or any of the exclusive stuff available in the Magazines and Digest? I've only seen 3 issues of the magazine and the 3rd had the exclusive Sonic 4 story so why can't we have the other exclusives?

I've been collecting Sonic Comic's since Sep 2011 and I've got quite a lot ever since I started. It's lucky that I get the Comic's from my Dad as I don't usually get money anymore. So how small or large are your collection? Let's hear you out!

Archie should use some of the scrapped characters from various sonic things and put them into the comic. Like Nazo from Sonic X. Or Honey from Sonic Fighters. Cameos aren't good enough for me.

Out of curiosity, is anyone here a fan of Nights into Dreams? It was admittedly a bit back, but for a while there Archie had a couple mini series going with the character that promised some interesting directions (which sadly never were delivered due to low sales of the comic) It is sorta tangentially related to Sonic comics admittedly, with the largest reference being Saffron Bee's nightopian friend but surely there is at least one or two people around who have heard of it.

Hey people, I've been wanting to start this for sometime. Here's where we can discuss about all the Archie Sonic artists who've drawn for the comic since the beginning till now. You can list who's your favorite, talk about their latest work and your opinions on each of them. Just talk anything about them. I'll start with who I can remember.. Art Mawhinney - I liked Mawhinney's artwork for the comic as he made everyone resemble their SATam designs. I always preferred him over Dave Manak when the two where the main artists for the series during the classic era. However I felt when the cast was updated to their Sonic Adventure designs he totally didn't fit the comic anymore, even mistakenly drawing Amy and a few others in their older designs at some points. Big blunder. He'll be remembered however for his classic work. Dave Manak - I wasn't really a fan of Dave's artwork but his artwork really had the "Archie" feel as he illustrated the Archie comics of Archie himself. But same as Mawhinney, I felt he didn't fit the book with the characters receiving their updated designs. His artwork got sloppy towards the end of his run. He was still a classic artist, won't forget him. Patrick 'Spaz' - WOW, simply that. Spaz was so awesome when he started out and his covers were so inspiring with all the details. I enjoyed his interior art too, his artwork for the Archives and Selects are like, whoa, he can really do many styles. But spaz fell out of favor when Sonic got his updated design, I think he still did the covers well until issue 89 where Sonic just looks off to me. Despite that I think his covers were fine until issue 100 (except 92 & 99), after that his covers weren't good anymore, he couldn't draw modern Sonic. Spaz didn't get better again until around Ian took over as head writer. His modern Sonic is now acceptable but it doesn't make me go "WOW!" anymore with his covers. I think he's up to do interior art again after seeing his Worlds Collide covers, he seems to have mastered it now but compared to his older artwork, it was much better then. I still mostly enjoy seeing his work however. Sam Maxwell - I actually enjoyed his artwork. He had style and was good with poses and hands but when he first started I found it odd that he drew the characters with blank faces and closed mouths when they were talking or having emotion. He improved to the end of his run and his artwork had more effort and detail. It's a shame he didn't come back after issue 87 as he got much better and I personally would like to see his direction. Maxwell is one of my average artists of Sonic to me. Manny Galan - I was didn't like Galan's work at first as he oddly drew Tails with a neck (LOL) among other awkward stuff. He started to do better after the End Game saga and I particularly enjoyed his work for Knuckles, he felt really suited for it. I suppose the flaw about his work is that he draws awkward mouths or poses. Not a favorite but likeable I would say. Steven Butler - I've enjoyed Butler's artwork all the way except a few issues. This guy's close to my top but not totally. He did a great job when he first started out and I can easily say that his artwork for issues 61 - 75 was his best for the series. After that he added more human proportions to the Sonic cast which I didn't mind but I can understand this is mostly why some people don't like his work. But I totally didn't mind as there was more details. I enjoyed his style until issue 233 where his artwork dropped in quality and I was disappointed. As I continued reading the passing issues I got so sick of his artwork I couldn't wait for Tracey to come back but to my surprise his artwork got good again with the Endangered Species arc. He deserves to stay and I continually enjoy seeing his work. The guy's also good with robots and machinery as one of the positive points. James Fry - I loved his anime style when he first started out. Seeing the Sonic cast in his style gave me a picture of what the archie characters would have looked like if they were in an anime. He does a good job doing interior work with the panel placements. At some points his artwork got real sloppy particularly with the Sonic Adventure Adaption and the Darkest Storm, the former is because the arc was rushed so it was understandable, the latter I felt it that there wasn't much effort but still decent. Overall I enjoyed his animeish work and I wished the guy was still around. Ron Lim - Oh man, the worst regular penciler. Hated this guy's artwork, no offense to anyone but really. Honestly speaking his artwork was actually good when he first started, just a little sloppy. His style was acceptable until issue 100 where it was the point I heavily disliked his artwork, it really got worst as the comic progressed. The only good thing I can say about his work is that he drew human characters well, Nate Morgan, Mecha Robotnik, etc. He just wasn't meant for Sonic but for human comics. If the guy had kept his pervious style I would have enjoyed it, now its just horrid for me to look at. Glad he's gone. Jay Axer - I really, really loved this guy's work for the series and he's one of my top. He really outshined Spaz during the bad period of the comics as Spaz's artwork deteriorated. His details were outstandingly fantastic in every way. I enjoyed all his frontis artwork he did during his run, it was something of the comics I miss and hope to see again. However he sometimes overdid his work with a little too much detail and he was more of an illustrator, that's why he doesn't do well in action poses. But in all honesty, he is the only artist that I felt who deserved to have stayed on. Its one big shame he didn't. A favorite of mine still.. Jonathan Gray - When I first saw Gray's artwork I was like "who is this terrible artist?" That's what I first thought, until I realized this guy really had style. I enjoy his artwork now, I have to admit it was hard for me to take the story seriously with his cartoony style. That's why he does awesome with off-panel! Way past funny guy and his style has improved now, I totally don't mind if he does a backstory once in awhile but I don't think he's suited for main stories. He has many funny panels and expressions in his drawings that make me wanna crack sometimes. He even draws the characters cute looking at times as well, and oh that Tails Doll.. Tracey Yardley - Who doesn't love this guy's art? He was the first inspiration for me when drawing Sonic as an artist. I was so heavily engrossed in his artwork when I got into the comics that I looked at everything he had for inspiration. He really is the artist who does best at expressions, some of the them are so unique I've never seen them before. However recently I feel Tracey's artwork has been real sloppy with issue 236, his covers are also like this. He still does Sonic Universe as awesome as ever and I love his writing. Although being one of my first inspirations in drawing Sonic he isn't my top actually, he used to be but I like Ben Bates' style better now despite similar art. Nonetheless, I still enjoy Tracey's work and he really deserves to stay until the end. He's the one artist whom I don't expect to leave the comic. Ben Bates - This dude is really a professional, I've fallen in love with his artwork when I first read issue 230 mistaking his artwork for Tracey until I realized so. Now I don't understand how I mixed them up. Anyway, checking the back issues he did I was impressed and he is currently one of my top and possibly favorite. I love how he draws everyone in Sega style, it looks so simple yet awesome. I even bought issue 224 after it was long released just for his artwork. He sadly hasn't been doing any interior art for Sonic recently and I'm looking forward to his future work for Worlds Collide and after. The cover of 253 has gotten me so hyped up about him again. I personally prefer him over Tracey but Tracey still does better in expressions. Yup, he's real good, inspiring and a favorite. Jamal Peppers - I didn't really notice Jamal's work for the series as it looked similar to Yardley's style and I thought he had a real problem drawing shapes for some reason. His drawing of heads just look weird. It wasn't until issue 242 with the Olympics that his artwork style changed and it looked real good, even inspiring. His Worlds Collide was amazing and I'm surprised he does Mega Man so well too. I realized his such a good artist and I look forward to him doing more issues, he really needs more spotlight. Evan Stanley - When I first saw her work I thought she had an interesting style, I'm starting to like her work but sometimes she does awkward gestures and her drawing of Sonic's and other's arms look too fat. I'm happy to see her work as the book hasn't had different artist styles in a long time. Tracey, Bates and Jamal's art look too consistent with not really much difference. Her style is unique and suiting for backstories and I'd like to see her do more. Lamar Wells - For me he's average but talented, his pencils always look better than the final inks to me for some reason but he can really draw Sonic and the cast good, although he mostly draws their hands looking too human like and not Sega like. He has a lot of good ideas for Sonic as seen on DA and I want to see him illustrate an issue as I can't really judge now. He's a rising artist and his work is looking good actually, looking forward to his direction. These are the artists who were memorable for me. I'm not even sure who to pick as a favorite, either J.Axer or Ben Bates, I can't even choose!!! Their both awesome! So yes feel free to discuss and agree or disagree but don't turn it into an argument please, you don't have to follow my post style also. Let's hear what everyone has to say on their favorite artists. ;)
