I meant to post this here yesterday but I forgot...

Anyway, I find Miles reaction to being cornered by Scourge comedic, especially when you consider how he's acted throughout this whole arc.

Well think about it. Miles was the ringleader of the betrayl right? Scourge probably just wants to kill him now. I'd be peeing my pants too in that situation.

I find it an interesting counterpoint to him telling Tails to get lost whilst the grown-ups were talking. When push comes to shove, he's just a panicky kid...

Him just standing there as that sword shatters on his face is awesome.

... Akuma hedgehog? What the hell is this? Fan fiction putting it's nose into the comics?

So glad I gave up on the series.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feel that way. I'm just burned out of Scourge and this isn't exactly making me "run to my local comic shop"

No kidding.

And "burned out" on him? How long's he been in the comics?! Was this a play on the whole multi-dimensions thing from way back in Sonic... 18, I think it was?

If so, good lord. Way to reach deep into a bag, Archie.

Uh, Evil-Sonic and the multiple dimension stuff has resurfaced a lot over the comic's run, especially in the last few years. It's where the whole Bunnie/Antoine split stemmed from, not to mention the "Sonic the player" nonsense of 150. Not much of a reach.

Doesn't mean it was good! XD;

And to think of it, all of those stories or angles were because of anti's, and those stories where also pretty bad as well (Sonic Angles including)

Yeah, and the point of changing the antis was so we wouldn't have any more "Evil Sonic ruins Sonic's reputation by hitting on everyone! Also Antoine's not Antoine" stories.

I though the point of changing the anti's was to diverse them form just being "evil clone of ()insert character)."

All I'm saying is that to anti's, Suppression Squad have worn out their welcome in this comic for me. It was intriguing and refreshing in the beginning, but now I hope that their gone after 200 and never see them in a long while (Including Scourge).

Hah. Poor Silver can't catch a break even in the archie. He's just got here and he's already beat up.

I have to agree with (Gammarallyson) they need to get rid of Scourge and the SS for a long time. Because Ian has been pushing Scourge on us for the last 7 or 8 months! Just like Ken Penders somewhat did with his 25 year later story for over a year. In fact Scourge and the SS have already become the new baggage in the Sonic Comic, that needs to go?

Not only that but almost sure that the new Sonic Comic will last just about as long as Sonic X did, maybe less. Plus I hope Archie Comics does the right thing soon, by getting rid of Ian Flynn.

Eh, whoa I do not think Flynn needs to go, in fact he is going a better job then the last guy.

Scourge's a really popular character. Yeah, he's a leather-jacket-wearin'-recolor-evil-twin, so take that as you will.

Folks wanted more Scourge, and we gave it to 'em. It's been a nice, solid block of Scourge. We'll be done with him for a while after that. Don't look for anything Moebian-related until 2010 (at soonest) once this wraps up.

OH well. to be honest I really like Scourge and the SS. I don't get why others don't like them but at the same time I don't really care.

I think that Ian did well rebooting the antis and the ones he created himself are inspired (Rosy the Rascal and Omega Care Unit with peace symbols in particular), but Scourge has been a major character since like 150, to the point that he sometimes seems to be taking over the comic. I like the way the showdown is building up, but after this a vacation is very welcome.

But Ian, ANARCHY BERYLS?

Well, the fact that they're referred to as beryls makes sense when you realize that emeralds are just green beryl.

anarchy beryls is a ridiculous name. Bedlam Beryls sounds way better.

i always found the "moebians" to be interesting since it was "evil sonic" way baaaaack in #11 i believe. in fact, i had wanted to see more of him and that crew. they would pop up now and then for a quick 1 issue story then be gone. besides, scourge is just the standard villain right? we've had other villains pop up and be an influence over many issues before they are removed. so #150-#200 is the "Scourge" era. sounds good enough.

Scourge is the old incredibly lame Evil Sonic given a new paint job, attitude, focus, and direction.

Technically - his true first appearance is Sonic...11 I think? His first appearance revamped as Scourge the Hedgehog is indeed Sonic 160

It was Sonic 19, I believe. That was the ish with a bajillion Sonics from different dimensions or whatever.

I like the Scourge story line. I'm not exactly a fan of the fonzy-wanna be style character type, but just exploring the whole evil-twin thing. It's the whole reson I'm into the sonic comics at the moment anyways. After this story line ends, if nothing else similair doesn't pop up, I'd probably move on to some other story to read/watch/ play

Evil Sonic had appeared prior to Night of a 1000 Sonic's, Jin. Sonic already knew who Evil Sonic was in that story.

Though I didn't start collecting the comic until the thirties, I think I've heard that Moebius was introduced in ish #11.

Yep, #11 was Evil Sonic's debut. Sonic took a wrong turn on the Cosmic Interstate and ended up in Anti-Mobius/Moebius. I don't think Evil Sonic was even in #19, IIRC he next appeared in #24.

Not only was Anti Sonic in #19, he was critical to the plot as Robo Robotnik hired him to retrieve the giant's hand for him. In #24 you see him lament about his losses in #11 and #19.
