What's it gonna take to make you people happy?
Since I don't like any of the "Anti/Evil-Mobius" characters, the only thing that would make me happy is for them all to be returned to their world and never heard from again. ;p That's why I'm not interested in this story and I'm waiting until #162 before possibly buying again.
I agree with about about the anti-evil characters True Red, it makes things strange/confusing. My non-Sonic and Sally reason why I am glad "Endgame" was changed is because I don't think a clone story would have worked, especially seeing how the latest anti-evil stories have turned out.

Scourge rtuns out of energy souped up ness-can't control the Chaos Power right-whatever plot point that may seem consistent
Sonic is about to land a final blow..Rouge interferes, and Flies away with him
Sonic left standing there going :O..I want birthday cake ;_;
This is such an old topic, and I'm sorry for bringing it up. I figured I'd put in my two cents, though.
I wanted to post this over on the Bumbleking forums, but I need to wait for my account to be activated. (I will crosspost, however.)
I believe I was who you spoke to before, Ian, about Ashura. Was it on StH Mu* a long time ago? Or some other Mu*? I believe you were writing about him and had asked me for pointers or somesuch on the character. You were always a really nice, polite, and respectful guy, and I wanted to back up what you said, and thank you for the comments above. (Also- StH still exists if you want to come around. It's just a bunch of old schoolers hanging around talking, though. We'd love to see you again.)
To explain the backstory on "Ashura"- Charles "Kiken" Mugg discovered the Ashura "code"/glitch in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and had put the code up on his webpage, giving it the name "Ashura" (meaning demon). He was a friend of mine, and I asked him if I could use the name as my nickname, and he was like, sure. He had a bit of an idea for a backstory, and so did I, and we both sat down fleshed it out.
The intent was to make it something better than 'Sonic's brother who looked and moved exactly like him only green.' Which was every "fan created" character at the time. This is why he wasn't speedy, but smart. Calculating- his intent to keep the war between Eggman and Sonic going forever. Playing both sides, that sort of thing.
I don't think it would've been a character that looks and related to Sonic so closely if it hadn't been for the glitch existing. (I mean, making a character that looks almost exactly like the main character in the series is kinda cheesy in unofficialland. It's just that the glitch lent a sort of legitamcy to it. And the fact that there wasn't a million 'Joebob the (Hick?) Hedgehog's sitting in the community at the time helped a little.)
It ended up used for an RP I was involved in at the time (I was.. 14 I think.) Anyway, the character eventually was given to me fully, since I became so identified with him in circles, and I still use the nickname to this day. (And I'm ever thankful he did.)
There's a piece of artwork floating around that Kiken did, that's sometime's purported as official, which is where the 'bang' thing came from. I have the original artwork, somewhere- I plan to scan it if I can find it since the scan floating around the internet which is proclaimed as 'golden' is really bad. It doesn't do justice to the cool piece. I also have the original designs Kiken did on a piece of notebook paper someplace as well.
Anyway, sorry for bringing up this old thread. I hope this explained a little more. I'm glad to see the Sonic comic is in your capable hands, Ian. I might start picking it up again, now, just to check out your run!

Yup, that was our conversations back in the day. You were really supportive with your info and reading over the rough drafts of "Metal - The Last Chapter." I can't remember where we were, though. I think it was on ChaosMUCK, and only because somebody there knew you and put us in contact with one another. Good to see you're still around!
And you're all set on TSoM. Welcome aboard!
Well, because I just got #160, 161 should be coming out soon!I think...
It will be the end of the month before I get #161... If it weren't for my subscription, I'd have it so much earlier...
