So according to this Sonic X will more than just a mini-series.
SH ED: Sorry, I just didn't like those typos. 😛
You're a bit late with that news. But thanks for trying. 🙂
Since our original thread on the SX series is still in limbo, I'll leave this open for now.
It's news to me.
Regardless, whether this is GOOD or BAD news remains to be seen, since I don't know the quality of the comic.
If it's news to you, it means you aren't reading the news page as it's been on it for over a week. Torn & Mukluk have been doing a great job on it. Check out their work. Shame on you for not doing so. 😉
Sorry, but I've kinda aligned Sonic HQ with "pop-up central" (even with all these pop-up blockers), so I suppose you can see why I've been trying not to visit the main page too much.
My pop-up blocker blocks them! 
I've already mentioned this elsewhere, but here goes again. WHY are they deciding to make this an ongoing series without a trial run first??? WHY do they think that it would have MORE support than the old Knuckles series did, or would have would they revive it?
Personally? I think it's gonna fall flat on it's face. I don't even think I'm gonna buy it.
VIVE LA KNUCKLES SERIES!!!!
Knuckles has a more complex plot now than ever, but he's been downtrodden to a supporting cast member. He needs his own series back, or at least the second story to himself every issue.
I think the Sonic X comic will fail before it gets to #25!
You might at least want to give me a chance before you decide the book is going to crash and burn. *sniff sniff*

I'm not one to judge beforehand, usually, unless I have enough evidence to make a judgement off of (ie: I can't judge this since I know very little about it, but I can judge Gems Collection since I have very clear evidence of what both the US and JPN versions contain, and thus can come to the conclusion that it'd be better to import the game). Still, I'm not sure if I'll buy it, given that I'm not too fond of Archie Sonic and how it tends to confuse people into thinking that they're pertainent to the games (not exactly WHY I dislike Archie, let alone their fault, but still).

While I had no part in the decision to publish the Sonic X comic or its change in status from mini-series to ongoing series, I think both of your questions have the same answer: it all comes down to the popularity of the Sonic X TV show that runs Saturday mornings on Fox in the U.S.
However, there is good news--ever since Mike Pellerito took over editing the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book, sales have been going steadily up. If that trend continues (and the Sonic X comic does well too), Archie is more likely to be receptive to doing more projects with Sonic and his supporting cast.
As for Knuckles in Sonic X, you will definitely see him in the series. He is prominently featured in issues two, four, and six (and appears in issues one and probably five). Sonic X (like the Sonic the Hedgehog comic) has a huge cast, so it's hard to feature every character in every issue.

All I can ask is that you give it a look when it comes out. The Sonic X comic is not tied to the Sonic the Hedgehog comic in any way. Archie has decided to take completely different approaches with the two titles, so hopefully if you don't like one, you might like the other--and if you like both, that's even better!
Having worked on many licensed properties over the years, I know how difficult it is to take characters and concepts created in one medium and transfer them to another. Every entertainment medium has its own set of advantages and limitations, so it's almost impossible to take something created say for a game and transfer it to a comic or movie or TV show without have to make some changes to suit the new medium.
I don't think it's any creator's intention to confuse people into thinking the comics are pertinent to the games. Personally, my approach is to take these characters created for the games and TV show and find interesting stories to tell, honoring the intentions of the characters as previously established. But, if I limited myself to only what was in the games or the TV show, then there wouldn't be much new to do and it would get monotnous after a while. I am using the games and the show as touchstones--in fact, there are elements in the first year of the Sonic X comic that will make references to specific elements of Sonic games past because I think it is fun to make use of them. It's a tip of the hat to what has come before and to the fans of the games.
- - -
Again, give the comic a chance before your decide whether you like it or not, or make predictions of its demise. If, after you've seen it, you hate it--fair enough. Obviously I'd be disappointed, but at least you wouldn't have pre-judged it.
Cheers,
Joe Edkin
Ah, cool. Thanks for the news on Knuckles (most people here know my bias by now ;p).
One thing I'm confused about, Joe, if you don't mind answering...
Will Archie-SX be its own continuity, inspired by the Sonic X one but entirely seperate from it, like the relationship Archie-StH once had with SatAM? Or will it be seen more as a supplement to the existing Sonic X universe, where a comic reader shall assume that all events already portrayed in the Sonic X show are a part of the continuity of the Archie-SX universe?
Also, Joe, I'm not sure if you've been asked this already, but are you a Sonic fan or were you hired mostly because of your experience in the comic field? Of course the latter is a great thing to have, but being a fan certainly won't hurt.

Archie-SX will be tied directly into the TV show continuity (4Kids translation mainly). Unfortunately, because I don't get advance copies of the episodes, there will be a fairly long drag time between season 3 on TV and when I will be able to incorporate S3 elements into the comic.
The first six issues take place between episodes 32 and 33. From there, the comic series will move forward in time, weaving in and out of TV story arcs. Things that happened on the TV show will be reflected in the series and expanded on as we develop our own unique plots.

I was approached by Mike Pellerito for a couple reasons. I taught the storytelling and writing classes at the Joe Kubert School while he was a student there, so he was one of my students and he knew my writing philosophy. It was certainly that and my comic book experience that led him to call me.
However, I also am a fan of the Sonic games. I bought the Sega Genesis system because of Sonic the Hedgehog and kept buying the cartidges as they came out. I really liked how you could piggyback Sonic 2 and 3 onto Sonic & Knuckles and get more game play out of them! (I haven't explored the Sonic GameCube collection enough to find out if it does the same thing...)
So, you can count on seeing some old school elements of the original Sega games work their way into Archie-SX.
I went out and bought a GameCube when I got the assigment so I could catch up with the games and use them for story ideas. There's a scene in issue three that is inspired directly from Sonic DX.
So--it was my comic book experience that landed the gig. It's an added bonus that I have a history with the games.
--Joe Edkin
Very nice, Joe. However, what about Episodes 1-31?
Are they:
-Unregarded
-Assumed to have happened, but the stories are untold
-Stories are untold, but flashbacks will show some of these episodes
-A different approach
Thank you!
EE
EE, I think Joe's saying that the stories are assumed to have happened but left untold in the comic, although I bet he may do flashbacks. Sonic X has a thing for flashbacks, especially flashing back to the last several minutes of the first episode.
Archie-SX will be tied directly into the TV show continuity (4Kids translation mainly). Unfortunately, because I don't get advance copies of the episodes, there will be a fairly long drag time between season 3 on TV and when I will be able to incorporate S3 elements into the comic.
That sounds pretty cool, although I'm not sure if you can keep that up forever. Looking at the success of Archie-StH, I think there's a chance that Archie-SX will outlive the SX show (even if episodes 79 onward ever get produced). If that occurs, the comic will then have to branch out into new territory, similar to the way Archie-StH did with issue 51 onwards.
A quick question-- do we see a lot of the human characters, such as Sam Speed, Tanaka, or Stewart? I think the human characters have a lot of potential and most of them were underused (a VERY notable exception being Chris), particularly post-episode 53.
Please no overt exposure of Chris...o_O;;;
Though what does intrigue me is that they are starting at Ep 33 instead of Ep. 1 which is a okay by me. I have a feeling this coated stock means that the issues will be even more expensive than they already are...whatever happened to issues that cost only a dollar something?!
All I know is will Big end up squashed into the cameo appearance with little role like his Sonic X role? Cuz' that sucks since Big is super friggin' awesome.
~Neo
That doesn't sound that bad, for the moment.
M.Edkin, have you already planned appearances of SuperSonic and the Chaotix?
*hopes for this comic to be translated in french and sold here in Belgium*

As Dirk theorized, episodes 1-31 will have already happened prior to issue number one. They are definitely part of the continuity and previous adventures will be referenced in the course of the comics.
Anyone who has read my previous comics work will know that I always try to honor the stories that have come before mine.

Sam Speed, Mr. Stewart, and Topaz all have very important roles in the first story arc. I expect them to remain integral to the series at it progresses. The President is also in the first story arc, as are Francine, Danny, and Helen. I expect to use Francine, Danny, and Helen on a regular basis.
Other humans you will see in significant roles are Chris (I can't really NOT use Chris, but I do want to explore why Sonic chooses to hang around with him), Chuck, Nelson, and Lindsay. Editor Mike Pellerito and I have discussed some very interesting plans for Mr. Tanaka, but they would not really kick into high gear until after issue fourteen (if things go as planned. Although I will start laying some of the seeds for that storyline throughout the first year).

It's funny. The second issue had originally been written for 22 pages of story, then it was expanded to 32 when we were told they'd sold extra ad space, then it was cut back to 22 when the extra ads did not pan out. In the 32 page version of the story, Big had a significant role. Unfortunately, when we got cut back to 22 pages, Big's scenes got cut.
I am going to try to include as many characters as I can, and that includes Big. He is not part of the major plot for the first four issues, but as we move forward, you can expect to see more of him.

I don't want to give away if or when you will see SuperSonic, so that's one question I'm not going to answer. Sorry.
As for the Chaotix, I have proposed a storyline that could bring them back to Station Square for an indefinite period of time. I'd really like to have them to play with, but until I find out if the story is approved, I can't promise anything. The only concern I have is that we've already got a huge cast, so adding more characters to the mix makes it difficult for others like Big to have their chances to shine.

That feels good to me. I wanna know why Sonic would chose to hang with Chris as well. This might help me tolerate Chris a bit more.

Is there any chance of a comic book adaptation of any of the games that haven't already been adapted by the Archie comics or the Sonic X cartoon? (eg., Sonic Heroes, Sonic Advance)
And if you tell me you're even thinking about considering some of the lesser-known characters (Mighty, Nack/Fang, Ray, Bean, Bark, etc.) then you've definitely got me sold 
I have a question. Will this series ever be released over here in the UK? We once had a Sonic Comic series, published by Egmont Fleetway, known simply as 'Sonic the Comic' (as most of the members of the Mobius Forum should know). They stopped publishing this recently, and some fans continued the series as a webcomic (www.stconline.co.uk/).
But Archie's Sonic series was never released over here, which really disappointed me. So if this comic gets a release over here, that would be great.
We should re-christen this the "Ask Joe about Sonic X" thread.

I'm not approaching Sonic X as a vehicle to adapt the games per se, but I do want to use elements from the games, so don't be surprised if settings, weapons, adversaries, characters, etc. from Sonic Heroes, Sonic Advance, or other games turn up as the series progresses.

It is my understanding that Archie's contract with Sega is for North American rights only. I'm not aware of any plans for a UK version of the Archie SX book. That doesn't mean that there is nothing in the works. I don't have any say in the matter and it's not something that is usually discussed with me. It can't hurt for you to write letters to Mike Pellerito at Archie. The more letters he receives, the easier it becomes to open a dialog with all the concerned parties.
And look, Psxphile, I used your suggestion for the subject header!
Cheers, all. I'm heading out of town for a few days, so if you don't see any posts from me in the near future, don't take it personally. I will be back!
--Joe Edkin
Those wishing to purchase Sonic X in the UK will have to take the route of those who regularly buy issues of Sonic The Hedgehog overseas: special order comic shops, online or otherwise.
I'm looking forward to this. Since this is just American and is not an attempt to translate Japanese and thus edit half of it out, maybe the dialouge will be better.
I'm personally hoping that Tails will get a better deal than he did in Sonic X and Archie.
I'm also wondering if Sonic will take to Amy as he was in the cartoon series.
Will the Sonic X comic eventually have its own characters? Or will you be sticking with just the original cast?
Sounds good to me, if the format is kept the same as the anime. I'd much rather like to see episodes which are geared to a certain character's development and personal skills, than to have a random garble of mess like the main comic has become, due to weak editorial control (caused by sqitching from Justin to Mike) and the butting heads of writers with different agendas.
So, Joe, are you the only one onboard the writing, or are there others along for the ride?
I'm intrigued how this will be dealt, as the synopsis clearly indicate the series is set in Chris' world, and not Sonic's, which makes sense to utilise the existing supporting cast (here's hoping that we get to see much of Topaz and Chuck, the only useful human additions to the show, unless you count President's comic antics and his second assistant's -*Shot and stabbed before he can finish*-)
The new series is due to be released Stateside within the next year, and that is set entirely in Sonic's world with a brand new settings, technology and villains; I know that this is the editor's decision, so I'm not asking wether you think it'll follow the cartoon or not, but as a writer, would you rather to deal with your own stories, set in the world laid out by the first series, or would you like to give a complimentary comic which works alongside the series, rather than branching off from it, like the main Archie series did with the DiC toons?
Appologies for the questions, but I'm a huge fan of Sonic X (well... Sonic X episodes 25-78. The whole "monster of the week"/"Get the emeralds!" stuff was embarrasing, compared to the character driven one-shots and plots we got afterwards, particularly those geared at Amy and Cream), and would love to know just what I'll be importing, and wether it's worth my commitment, or not.

I'm trying to be as fair as I possibly can be to all of the characters. In my opinion, one of the key things about writing an ensemble book is to make sure that every member of the ensemble brings something unique and important to the table. With Tails and Amy, it's pretty easy. I have some interesting stuff for Cheese coming up. I had a really neat idea for expanding on Cream's character, but it got cut for time in issue four. I may come back to it as it would make her an even more valuable member of the group.
I think the character with whom I have the most trouble is Big the Cat. The epsiodes I've seen don't do much to develop his character beyond "Duh--Froggy this, Froggy that..." However, since we won't be seeing Big in any major capacity until issue five, I'll have more time to research the character.
As for original characters, yes, there will be some, but I'm trying not to expand the cast too much--there are already so many characters to work with that I don't need to add a lot more.

At this point in time, I'm the only writer on Sonic X. That may change as things move forward, but I don't see it happening anytime within the first fourteen issues (unless I really blow a deadline).

The stories will be set in Chris's world for many, many issues. A lot of this is because I don't have access to the new series, so I can't really draw from it yet. You can be sure that I will do so as the comic series progresses.
Having not seen the new series yet, I can't comment on it. What I can say is that there is much I would still like to explore on Chris's world, so am not going to lack for story material.

I have worked with company-owned properties throughout my career, and I have nothing against working in a pre-established universe with existing characters. Certainly the Sonic X cartoon is fertile ground for developing plots and it has an incredible array of characters. The fact that I can also go back tot he games for inspiration adds to the storytelling possibilities. The way I see it, even though I am working within established confines, I am getting to tell the stories I want to tell, so I have no complaints.

No need to apologize for the questions.
As for whether the Sonic X comic will be worth your commitment, I'm afraid I'm a biased in my opinion. Of course I think you should try it! Seriously--based on what you wrote, I think the types of stories we will be telling are the sort you'd like to read.

Hey Joe, I got two questions:
1)If ever become necessary to bring Sonic and friends back to their world,like season 3 did, would you use or remade current Archie characters like Sally,Bunnie,Antoine or Rotor to fit into the new universe?
2)Have you had any plans to adapt SA and SA2 to the comic since they did appeared in the anime?
Quote:
We should re-christen this the "Ask Joe about Sonic X" thread.
Dont say I never did anything for you.
As far as questions go any that I had have been answered. So until I can come up with any Ill say that I do look forward to the new series.
If hadn't noticed I'm a huge Eggman fan, and I was wondering about Eggman's role in this comic series. Will Eggman be used for comic relief and just to advance the plot, or will his appearence be worthwhile unlike the shows(Excluding SA1 and SA2 arcs)?
SHADONIC asked:

At this point, the continuity between Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic X comics will be completely separate. When we do move into Sonic's world, it will be as seen on the TV show.
Quote:
2)Have you had any plans to adapt SA and SA2 to the comic since they did appeared in the anime?
Since these games were already adapted for the TV show, those stories have been told. We will not be adapting stories that have already been seen in the series. However, you will be seeing fallout from those stories as the comic progresses. (That's what I mean about the comic weaving in between episodes of the show.) And we will be pulling things from the games as we progress. (Remember--next year is the 15th anniversary of the original game, and we're talking about a story to commemorate that event.)

Dr. Eggman will be a primary nemesis in the Sonic X series, but there will be other threats/adventures as well. Eggman and his ever-escalating plot against Sonic is what drives the first four issues and we have some fun plans for Eggman after that as well.
Aside to Hyper Shadow X: I promise never to say you never did anything for me. Cheers!

Wait, Joe...
You said Sonic X comic #1 takes place between episodes 31 and 32. That's right in the middle of the Sonic Adventure Arc. I believe it's after the gamma episode. I misunderstand...
EE
Joe said....
The first six issues take place between episodes 32 and 33.
That's between Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2.
Ah, between 32 and 33...
So, even though you'll be making your own stories entirely, you will be adapting the episodes, too, right?
Eh,
thanks,
EE
No, no, no. This is different from what you're used to in Archie-StH.
In Archie-SX, the animated stories are not adapted but they are referenced. Think of Archie-SX as a supplement to Sonic X, rather than a completely different universe in which stories need to be adapted in order to be considered canon.
If anyone's worried because they don't know the story preceding the mini-series, episode descriptions are available at Sonic HQ.
The reason I said that was because I was anticipating a SA2 adaptation. I would love to see it adapted to the Comic book. (Of course, in Sonic X's version.)
It's too bad; I was wishing I could "read" my most favorite Sonic X episodes in the comic series. =(
(Specifically SX's SA2 adaptation and SX's Eggmoon Saga which follows the SA2SX.)
=(
*Sobs*

Will Sonic X Comic be shipped over to UK readers, or will we have to hunt through shops and online stores like maniacs to find it? And when do we start?
And on an off-point, I'm just wondering how much of a role Shadow the Hedgehog will play. He didn't get a lot of screen time in Sonic X, and I was hoping we'd see more of him.
Not sure if I want to try this series or not. On one hand, I'm not completly interested in the Sonic X cartoon, and I like the SatAM crew..
...On the other hand, I'm so dissatisfied with the current Archie Sonic comics that I'm willing to try anything different..
*points upwards*
Already been answered, Harley. 🙂
Do you know what month the Sonic X comic will start to come out cuz Archie Comics said in summer of 2005 and summer is almost over with what is going on with them cuz I have no clue as to what their doing with it now!
Mid-September, I believe. Either the same time as #153 or two weeks after it.
Hey, Joe, are they any plans of you writing anything in the regular comics even if it might be a prologue to Sonic X?

I have 3 questions Jon...
1st - There is a plan to export "Archies Sonic X" to other countries? I will love if it comes to Brazil.
2st - As I noticed on the "Archies Sonic the Hedgehog", the art changes a lot! I know each artist have his own style, but it is possible to the artists make the art more accurate? In some issues I saw, the characters are totally different.
3rd - I saw in other pages about Mighty and others. If they really appear, will receive new design?

Go to a comic store and ask for the comic store to order it via Previews. I'm pretty sure the U.K. gets the same Previews that we get over here. You'd just have to definitely buy something if you ask for it by special order.
I'm sure most have you have noticed this by now, but if youhaven't, Newsarama has posted a six page preview of the first issue of Sonic X. You can find it here: Sonic X Preview

At this point in time, (editor) Mike (Pellerito) and I have not talked about me working on the other Sonic title. That book already has a full slate of creators, and for me to do work on it means someone else will lose work. Since I hate the idea of causing another freelancer to lose work to make room for me, I'm not actively campaigning to do any writing on the original book.

I don't know. I'm not aware of any plans, but that's not the sort of thing that is usually discussed with the creative talent on books. You can alway write to Mike Pellerito, Archie's Sonic editor. His e-mail address is: sonic@archiecomics.com.

Again, this is not something over which I have any control. Artists on the current Sonic title are given a lot more leeway for their own styles. On Sonic X, they have to follow the style guide because the TV show is still on the air.

3rd - I saw in other pages about Mighty and others. If they really appear, will receive new design?
I don't have any plans to incorporate Mighty into Sonic X at any point in the near future. He might appear someday down the line, but I already have a huge cast with which to work, so adding more characters means less screen time for the current cast. I can't comment on wheter or not Might will appear in the original Sonic title.
And for those who asked, Sonic X #1 should hit stores in mid-September.
And now for the warning: I will be appearing at Comics for Collectors, 207 North Aurora Street, Ithaca, NY on Saturday, October 1st from Noon til 5pm to sign copies of Sonic X #1. Stop by to say hello if you're in the area.

Hi Joe! Just posting to wish you luck on the series. It looks to be shaping up very well. I was on the fence at first but after seeing the preview I've decided to add it to my store subscription list in replacement of the other series.
And I'll personally Paypal you one American dollar for each issue that features Flicky, Pecky, Tocky and the other speech-free little animal species from Sonic's world that made a lot of cameos in Sonic X from episode 39 onwards. Because Flickies, Pockies, Cuckies etc are awesome. =P

Go to a comic store and ask for the comic store to order it via Previews. I'm pretty sure the U.K. gets the same Previews that we get over here. You'd just have to definitely buy something if you ask for it by special order.
The one shop in my small town that DOES sell US comics, [the staff] cant even pronounce the name "archie", so I doubt they'll be able to get them in.
I was told they just get comics sent from America. And judging by what they are selling... prolly the ones that dont sell to well 😛
I have a question for Joe...
Will Helen be making an apearence at all? And will she be given a good part. [She was ,my favourite human in the show!]
