Are these the two most underutilized characters in the Pre & Post reboot eras?
Jackson Price
What's there to really do with Relic?
Jonathan Peterson
Reposting for faglord You misunderstood my post. I'm calling you out for ignorantly claiming high ground in the name of the fanbase for other people's work who may not want to be associated with you or your interpretation of the fandom.
I didn't call fan games unproductive, I call you and Sonic general posters unproductive and you fail to see this due to your lack of self awareness.
Fan games are just a part of the fandom. Other fandoms, or rather people within fandoms, also make fan games. You aren't in any place to arbitrarily hold yourself over any other fandom. It's all the same shit.
The most productive thing a fandom can achieve is directly helping its franchise, I'd argue fan translations would be the most productive but that isn't necessarily true as it might hurt sales.
Carter Martin
The reboot and removal of various characters was the best thing that could have happened to the comic.
Adam Butler
Is there a list of characters that could realistically be brought back into the comic?
Noah Cox
Holy fuck, those are some big bumps.
>I've started working Definitely post an update when you finish with them! And thanks for this update too, I really love seeing how it's coming together.
Colton Campbell
isn't Sega hiring fans to help make games nowdays?
Connor Thomas
it used to be
also, that's an edit
Hunter Peterson
Amy a best!
Isaac Nguyen
So- Soni- SONIKKUUUU

Sonic Mania is literally being created by fans.
Elijah Anderson
Who made this edit I want more
Tyler Gray
Thrash and a few of the Mercian Freedom Fighters are the only ones I can think of immediately. And I'm pretty sure Ian has no plans to bring Thrash back.
Michael Murphy
>We will never know everything that happened in that lost year.
Easton Ortiz
They used to be horrible, they're much better now.
Austin Walker
good
William Flores
You know it! I need to get a collection of Amy art and Sonic art in general for posting here...
Isaac Bell

Logan Ortiz
This guy knows what's up!
Xavier Kelly
there are no more echidnas to kill
his character arc is complete
Gavin Peterson
I find the book pretty boring now, so I disagree.
Juan Richardson
>Post yfw there's an anthro villian for 2017
Luke Wilson
Eggman used his angst of not being a robot anymore and rebuilt his empire as a global superpower. That's...pretty much all I know.
Hudson Edwards
I'm sure the terabytes of Sonic scat fanart and OC fanfiction were a great benefactor to Sega hiring the Mania team.
You did it, guys!
Anthony Rogers
>there are no more echidnas to kill There's one.
Michael Flores
I disagree
Noah Stewart
Cute
Charles Morris
Two, if you count ghosts.
Ryan Gray
two if you count the ghost three if you count wally in cosplay a whole bunch more if you count all those swimming in the limbo that is chronicles
Dylan King
How do you know it wasn't?

Thomas Sullivan
The fact that a fangame creator is now directly helping SEGA make a game which has garnered a lot of publicity and positive press proof that the Sonic fanbase is directly helping its franchise. I like how in this post you try to make a distinction between people within the fandom. I am not claiming other people's work, I am claiming that people who are active in Sonic fan communities (aka members of the fandom) are more productive than most fandoms. Can you name me another time when fangame creators made a game officially with the owner of the IP to massive acclaim?
Hudson Gomez
Is Shade still around
Jayden Sanchez
4, if Metal Knuckles is around somewhere.
Eli Roberts

Charles Garcia
I'd rather they not.
I'd consider her in limbo.
Bentley Stewart
If only they went further and removed the Freedom Fighters. The cast is big enough to the point where they're no longer needed. Not like anyone would miss them if they were gone and the main book was just Sonic, Tails, and Amy running around the world doing shit
Nicholas Collins
semi-canon otherwise fixit or advanced enchilada tech wouldn't exist unseen due to legal shenanigans
David Walker
>I'm sure the terabytes of Sonic scat fanart and OC fanfiction Maximum cherry picking. Ignoring the entire fan hacking and fangames community Taxman and Stealth came from. Or the fan artists and fanfiction writers who now work on the comic.
Bentley Roberts
Ya'll just have shit taste is all.
Jose Jackson
>Does it look like I'm practicing stand-up comedy?
Ayden Turner
>main book was just Sonic, Tails, and Amy running around the world doing shit boring. next, please
Adrian Turner
Hog in a box.
Robert Barnes
>Not like anyone would miss them if they were gone There's a good number of people here who would disagree with you.
Julian Phillips
Mephilies was a shit so I'd be pissed off

James Hernandez

Jack Sullivan
Only if Sonic gets to go back in time to punch Hitler for not autographing his notebook.
David King
You can keep the other non game characters, maybe even the FFs, just shove them to the background and remove them from focus, at most giving them minor roles and never giving them an arc of their own.
Basically they should never exceed game characters in relevance, so someone like Sally should not be more important than say, Nack
Jaxson Martinez
I'm waiting for the books to recapture my interest again. Unleashed dragged on to the point where I couldn't care less about it's conclusion, and the upcoming Classic Sonic stuff doesn't interest me either. Only saving grace I have is the Chaotix.
Luis Lopez
>the Sonic fanbase is productive and created great work >nuh-uh look at all this shit work >but that doesn't invalidate the mountains of great work at all >la-la-la I can't hear you You need to take a chill pill my man.

Landon Williams
Who sent him?
Jason Edwards
This. Also weak ass spin dash.
Jonathan Price

Matthew Perez
Caged Hog
Sorry
Parker Barnes
He looks pretty calm for someone who probably doesn't have much air to breath.
John Diaz
What the hell is up with these katellafags?
Charles Price
Even as a kid I could tell that something was very wrong with Sonic's portrayal in the comics long before it reached that level of putrid.
If you see this post Penders, I'm pointing my finger at you.
Aaron Mitchell
I see your bottled hedgehog and raise you a caged hedgehog.
Aaron Rivera
Thanks!
Josiah Cook
I like to try and put chao in there.
Michael Cooper
Okay I'll stop
Brandon Anderson
Why is Sonic's wolf form called a Werehog? The were part means man, shouldn't he be a Wolfhog?
Dominic Allen
Penders doesn't read anything he didn't write.
Ayden Reed
How would Amy react if someone grabbed her tail and gave it a light squeeze?
Jace Lopez
I'm more of a Wendyfag myself, to be honest
Nolan Ramirez
Well they wouldn't be gone, just be made massively less important. They'd be secondary or tertiary characters at best rather than characters you see every issue. It'd be better this way so they don't overshadow the games cast
Ryan Lewis
As a British kid Sonic seemed aight in our comics. Didn't read too much of em but cocky son of a bitch to evil and authority came across well.
Archie comics I only saw the first issue and all the cover art in Mega Collection Plus, and I remember thinking "Wow they look so cool Green Knuckles what I bet it's cool and all-" I wish I could go back to that time.
Gabriel Bailey
Piko Hammer to the face.
Nathaniel Price
He's not wrong. The comic is actually readable for the first time in a long time.
Ryan Allen
Depends. How sensitive is a hedgehog's tail?
Daniel Bailey
Been playing through classic sonic games today and I'm beginning to think I just suck. I tried finally beating sonic 1 but i lost at Labrynth zone. That game can really be unforgiving. Getting sandwiched between anything will kill you and there's times where I feel like invincibility frames are just a silly myth.
Lincoln Flores
Sonic 1 is the hardest of the bunch, ain't it?
Evan Young
Yes. I also watched that Zero Punctuation video.
To answer the question, It's more of a pun than anything that's trying to be accurate with the word. There's been "Were-" things in pop culture for years, and most of them don't really use the word correctly at all.
Jose Long
I'm surprised no one remembers that Ella also wants that Luchadores' burritos.
Mason Edwards
How can I make this more clear? Sonic generals aren't Sonic Retro. Obsessing over the comics, cartoons and overabundance of characters is equally bad as any other given fandom. I can't believe you're either defending this or are completely blind to it.
You are attaching yourself to the work of other people by virtue of fandom alone.
It's great that Sega recognizes its fandom by showcasing and hiring talent but that in itself doesn't make the fandom better than any other. Again, you're attaching yourself to other people's efforts. Blizzard does the same with its Overwatch Twitter which highlights fanart and cosplay etc.
These regurgitating Sonic generals don't measure up to what Taxman, Stealth and PagodaWest are and have been doing. You come off as saying "the Sonic fandom isn't as bad as some other ones, just look at Taxman! Now let us continue shipping our OC's". It's parasitic.
Jack Anderson
Abrupt and Severe violence my fetish.
Justin Cruz
To be fair, the cover art is normally a shit ton better than the inner contents, at least for everything that was in the Mega Collection gallery..
