Has anyone else heard about this?
Considering that it's likely to be obsolete before it hits the shelves, I'm intrigued as to how it'll be put together.
Yeah - it's an encyclopedia that Ian's been writing for the series. Plenty of info on his forum.
Mattmaniac is correct, it's supposed to cover all the series and most of the characters in the Archie Sonic universe. And Ian has plans to make sure it isn't outdated immediately when released:
- Since we don't want it to be immediately out-dated, there will be a fair number of reveals for early concepts and behind-the-scenes thinking/notes. Short of being on the staff, you really can't get more inside the book than with this.
If you want to learn more bout the encyclopedia, you can read this thread over at Bumbleking. Also, the UK and US Amazons are letting people pre-order it already.
