Posted 9 Mar 2017 The latest comics showing up on the Archie Comics Android app are SU#94 and StH#290. I've looked it up, and there are newer issues, so where are they?Short version: Nobody knows.Long version: Subscriptions for the Sonic titles pretty much disappeared from Archie not long after SU#94's release, which caused people to start worrying about the comic. New solicits still appeared that month (January, I believe) but were mysteriously absent the following month.Unfortunately, Archie haven't spoken about Sonic AT ALL since the subscription removals. Couple that with constant delays to the next releases (STH#291, SU#95 and Mega Drive: Overdrive) and the situation seems dire. Best-case scenario is that this is due to renewing the license for Sonic with SEGA. Worse-case scenario is that Archie haven't renewed it, meaning the end of Archie Sonic.

Posted 11 Mar 2017 It's a complicated situation. The comics that were going to be released where delayed, though Archie still hasn't said anything about it, and with how the trial is going it seems as though they want to wash their hands with Sonic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 14 Mar 2017 .... There's another trial? Why? ... *sigh* could someone please fill me in?Long story short Scott filed a lawsuit against Archie for breach of Copyright work. Archie tried to sue him back but the judge threw it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 27 Mar 2017 So, is there a way to get the newer issues? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 27 Mar 2017 I did find this article from a couple of day ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 20 Apr 2017 so the date for sonic 291 has been canceled and Archie is said to give people something about it at the end of the month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 21 Apr 2017 I swear, I'll end up doing a full Archie fan project if they cancel the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Apr 2017 (edited) Maybe we need a community of fan continuations to the series... Edited 22 Apr 2017 by Spark_Volt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Apr 2017 Fans that actually know what they're doing! Not like some other fan stuff I've seen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Apr 2017 While it would be great to get a collaboration of people together to continue this is Archie goes down (And heck, I'd love to help) the trouble is.... well..... ask 10 Sonic fans what they want, and you'll get 11 different answers! Getting a group of people who can agree can be pretty tricky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Apr 2017 Skye's got a point. It would take a heck of a lot of organisation, planning, and dedication just to get a project like that off the ground. It could take months (possibly over a year) just to come up with, and release, a "first issue". I mean, if you're certain that you'd have the dedication to see it through to the bitter end, then... go for it, I guess.At least Archie seem to be giving out some kind of info by the end of the month, so that's good.

Posted 22 Apr 2017 (edited) I didn't necessarily mean multiple users working on one series, but rather, a site hosting multiple alternative continuations. Edited 22 Apr 2017 by Spark_Volt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Apr 2017 As far as I know, there are some sites that devote themselves to fan continuities. First, there's 'Archie Sonic Online' (http://archiesoniconline.com/) which focuses on Pre-Genesis timeline, and there's 'Sea3on' (http://www.sonicsatam.com/sea3on/) which focuses on SatAm continuity.

Posted 23 Apr 2017 (edited) This would be a similar site to Archie Sonic Online, but picking up at the end of the comics, instead of expanding on pre-genesis. Edited 23 Apr 2017 by Spark_Volt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 24 Apr 2017 One of my dreams was (and still is) to draw the official Sonic comics, but if they get cancelled, here you have an amateur comic artist/writer to assist! We don't need to have the same opinions or think exactly the same about the franchise. What we need is the real super-power of teamwork. Or just simply a good organization, as others fan-projects such a Mobius Legends or the Sonic The Comic Online have achieved.About the cancellation, I hope it ends up being nothing but a small problem...

Posted 24 Apr 2017 Well, if things do go south with the comics I would like to help any fan revival. My arts pretty terrible, and my dialog writing can be a little clunky, but I think quite a few people here can agree that plot and storylines are a strong suite for me.And fingers crossed ChaosKaiser. Fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
