In response to the spoilers for STH #179:
...Osnap.
And actually, come to think of it, I think I like this cover from Yardley. That's a first.
Looks like some of us were right when we made some of the theories STH #178. Is it just me or does anyone else see the contrast between the words "Enemy of the State" and Tails' smiling face? Also, it says 178 instead of 179 for some reason... (must be a misprint)
Looking at the cover of SX#23 I can tell who one members is.
As for #179 the story look interesting.
It's most definately the Chaotix. Sonic is taking all thier work after all.
Well, at the very least we know that Sonic, Tails, his parents, and Elias are still around.
Which means that either Tails' parents and Elias never got zapped, or Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy freed everyone. Or just freed them.
OMG it's freaking captain america versus iron man all over again. what's next sally gets shot?
Didn't we already make that joke? D=
Sonic seems to be more angry about Tails being an enemy of the state than he is at Tails. That would be more in-character and would rock, in my anti-monarchistic opinion.
I'm not convinced that Tails's parents are who they say they are. I mean, the Mr. Prower I knew was roboticized trying to defend the Kingdom. Why would he stage a coup almost immediately after returning home?
Tails found his folks surprisingly alive and well on an alien world being so totally devastated by war. Maybe this couple undermining the kingdom are some sorta duplicates planted by the black aliens in an effort to weaken Mobius before their inevitable invasion. If that's true...then there's only one way this should all play out...Sonic, Shadow and company must pick up some guns and go in search of that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald, while Eggman figures "The more the merrier", and Vector goes on a valiant search for the computer room...
Sega sucks and their stories should not play any part in the...oops, I did it again!

And we'll keep doing it 'til we get it right!
It's plausible that they're who they say they are - but they've spent a decade or so on a world with a whole other system of government.
It's legitimate that they might just see a revolution as something that people'll appreciate once they realise the benefits.
Or alternatively, whose side're they on? They could easily've been left alone because they "went native", so to speak.
You know, Tails wouldn't have gotten his parents back if it weren't for Merlin Prower's magical help -- which leads me to believe that Tails' parents plans aren't completely negative, and that bringing the Prowlers back somehow fit into one of Merlin's Mysterious plans. He's practically an Ancient Walker now; I think he's setting something up. Like...Maybe the Acorn Kingdom really does need a shake-up to avoid stagnation and it's just a societal growing pain they have to go through?

It isn't just you. I thought that too.
It's a nice contrast, but hardly surprising. I should imagine that pictures of Tails flipping the bird at the camera or foaming at the mouth as he pulls the wings off flies were in short supply. 🙂
It's plausible that they're who they say they are - but they've spent a decade or so on a world with a whole other system of government.
So, you're thinking that the time they spent on the Bem homeworld opened their eyes to the "REAL SUPER POWER OF DEMOCRACY"? Somehow...I just can't buy that. From the brief glimpse of their government we saw in #129, it doesn't look like the type of government that's to be envied. They WERE going to execute someone for doing the right thing and turning the Mobians back into flesh and blood creatures, after all.
Oh, and Sega sucks and their stories...oh heck, you know...
I said that it was an option.
Stockholm Syndrome can do strange things over a decade or so.
I'm surprised they didn't have another kid while they were LOST IN SPAAAACE... surely after 10 years they would've given up hope of ever seeing Mobius again? Or would that destroy the myth of Jesus Tails?
The nature of the Ancient Walkers and "The Chosen One", those are leaps of faith. But to believe a married couple never got down? Well, that's just plain gullibility!
I spy another Kevin Smith fan. 😉
*finds a hat and tips it*
That's an interesting point, but until we find out more about the society they were in, I suppose we won't know if it was worth bringing up a fox cub in.
It might've been fun to see Tails not just get his parents back, but have to share them with some brat he's never met, who's younger and who actually knows them. Lots of adolescent "Mum and Dad don't understand me! " or "You like him/her more than me!" tension - which, considering that he's reached the age where the sun doesn't automatically shine out of Sonic's backside any more, might've been a good read.
Although where would they get the contraception...?
I've got to stop thinking too hard. 🙂
Of all people, Sam, I never ever thought it would be you who would make me need to wash my brain out after reading that! 
*steals hat*
*finishes editing*
I'll refrain from replying in that vein any further, since I don't want to go totally off topic. 🙂
Loving the Spaz cover on SX. I also noticed the (Espio shuriken?) holding up the Sonic photo. What's up with the "Sonic Haters" meeting postit? It's HI-larious.
When is Yardely! going to stop drawing the main stoies! I'm getting bored of his work (and he sometimes does the back-up stories as well). They really need to diversificate.I don't like it when you see the same artist over, and over again. I miss Galan and Maxwell. 
ololz, I was just looking at the cover to Sonic X.
Read the bottom of the newspaper article on the cover.
XD That's awesome! Spaz never misses the oppertunity for a joke in the Sonic X covers. I still love the Le Spaz signatures on issues 8 and 9.
Tracy has done something I haven't really seen since Spaz's early days: Made Tails real cute but boyish at the same time. Other artists sort of consintrated on the latter (and don't get me started on Ron Lim!).
I also noticed Spaz's full name on the newspaper in the cover. Clever!
I'm surprised they didn't have another kid while they were LOST IN SPAAAACE... surely after 10 years they would've given up hope of ever seeing Mobius again? Or would that destroy the myth of Jesus Tails?
I don't think that they were ever aware that Tails ever was supposed to be some sort of Mobian Jesus. But you're right though...you'd think that after more than ten years on another world, they would've at some point started anew and given Tails the obilgatory long lost sibling.
Who knows? Maybe they did try to give Tails another sibling ,but it just didn't happen.
Maybe Tails actually has another brother but it is only half brother and a Bem!

*sniff* *sniff* I SMELL A FANFIC!
Is there like a rule pertaining to fanfics? Because I'm sure such a fanfic exists...
And just how long had they been flesh since they were derobotized? If it's been relatively short, I can see why there may not be another kid around.
Hot robot on robot action.

Amadeus:Honey I just got back and-!
Tails' Mom(forgot her name):Oh my god! It's not what you think!
Bem:Who's that?
Tails' Mom:That's my big burly fox of a husband!
Amadeus:I loved you and this is how you repay me!
Tails' Mom:But you've been all too yourself these past few months! Baby I just began to get lonely that's all!
Bem:I'll be going now!
TWO MONTHS LATER...
Tails' Mom:Amadeus...
Amadeus:Yes.
Tails' Mom:I'm Pregnant!
Amadeus:Well that's just great! He better be paying child support!
SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THAT...
Tails' Mom:Oh it's a beautiful baby green alien boy! Your name will be CELCIA0089123 Nathan Prower!
Amadeus:What did I do to deserve this?
^ XD
I'd love to see a fanfic based on that.
Quote:

Pretty much the entire time they were out in space. Rosemary was never roboticized and Ceneca (forgot the number though I think it was 99, but I'm too lazy to look it up for certain ;p) undid Amadeus' robotic state almost as soon as the two were taken.
come to think of it, we still haven't gotten an explanation on how sonic got there. off topic yes, but just close enough to put in.
You want explainations on plotholes in a comic book? Go read a textbook...

i'm really not sure if that's meant to be funny..... i mean i didn't laugh.....
Moving right along... I suppose the main reason we're not seeing Amadeus and Rosemary with kid in tow (I'm sure it came up at some point!) has to do with Knuckles having recently met his younger brother. The whole thing comes off a bit derivative now.
Just another little thing to blame on Penders, perhaps.
Will Penders' madness ever end?

we can turn the song from "BLAME CANADA!" to "BLAME PENDERS!" it'll be good.
I have been giving this some thought, I wonder what will be the result of this. I am hoping that Sonic can help bring about a peaceful end, though I think that might not be possible. At least, he can get Tails' friendship back. Also, I wouldn't mind if the Acorns lost their power if their lives are spared(at least most of them).
I wonder if the Sonic Haters meeting has snacks and food stuffs. That'd be nice...
The pics of the covers aren't showing up. Can someone fix that?
Maybe the topic should be, what's YOUR problem?!
Seriously, the guys's been off the book for two years and your still attacking him like this? Sure, his last two years on the book weren't so hot (probably burned out) but, he helped lay down a lot of the Sonicverse for what it is today, and created a ton of great characters such as Julie-Su and Locke. Hell, he had one of the best Sonic spinoff series ever in Knuckles the Echidna. It was all his doing and that book was excellent.
So, lay off!!
Heh. Sorry guys. posted this on wrong thread. Too late to edit. Very sorry.
