Thanks for the inside dope.
Maybe the Station Square squares don't look at it that way. That's just my take on it, anyway; your mileage may vary.
One, Hope is NOT a teenager; she's still a tween. And you know how seriously the adult world takes tweens. That's why... Two, she'...
Crazy Cham Lea asks: "Where else would she go to help with technology in fighting Eggman?" True. But in my story line it never occurred...
And is it me, or does Cmdr. Tower have one brown eye and one blue eye?
The day I received SU #3 (I've never received 1 or 2; probably got my order in too late) I read it and my reaction was: "To hell with the ro...
No, no, you covered it all extremely well, WB. In a way, it's understandable that Archie would lock the continuity into a non-canonical neth...
The cover drawing of Sally is wrong, Wrong, WRONG!! And Tails doesn't look much better.
Somebody contact the Forty Fathom Freedom Fighters; this story has officially jumped the shark. I liked where Ian was taking the story in #193, bu...
Y'know, you'd think it would be sufficient for his purpose if Mammoth Mogul did a Manchurian Candidate/Sleeper Cell number on Sonic alone; then we'd ...
Quote:Isn't this basically fanfiction? "Darkfic" is more like it. I'd like to know where SonicJordan2 was going with this idea. If all yo...
Considering how things played out in the original Sonic Adventure game, I thought that was the more satisfactory bit of storytelling. In the game, Ch...
I second rattrap2K's response. Apparently, the cross-promotion deal Archie struck with DC (the results of which included that lame-o Batman vs. the P...
I'm still waiting for my copy, but from what I've read of the spoilers my biggest disappointment involves Scourge. At the end of the back story in S1...
If you haven't seen your copy yet, don't be surprised if the artwork for the back story strikes you as UGLY!!! I haven't seen a coloring job this hid...
OK, I know that Sonic and Knuckles's designs are more stylized than nature would allow, and that Tails's design owes more to Japanese mythology than t...
Spiner, Thanks for clearing that up. Apparently in Japan using kansai for a character is like fitting out the Texas guy on the "Simpsons" ...
Since we just came off a three-issue arc (S175-177), the idea of S200 either anchoring or culminating in a major arc isn't that big a deal. In fact, ...
I'm waiting for my own copy to arrive, but two things: 1. It was WAAAAAAY back in S130, at the end of the Tossed in Space arc, that long-haired Sally...
Not so unusual that an illustrator would do some writing. There have been stories in the past where Ken Penders did pretty much everything except the...
The point is, S176 was not a resolution of any kind. It felt like a huge set-up when I was done reading it, as if Neo-Knothole was actually some kind...
As someone who followed Ken's writing pretty much from the top of his Sonic career: Ken had several problems that manifested themselves over time. O...
Another dispatch from the old -- Let's see, in S175 Sonic got beat up, the Egg Fleet attacked, and Robotnik zapped everybody. This time around Son...

Sega has made it implicitly clear that no major character or game elements may be used in Sonic X Which is fine by me. That means no dueling violins...
The Judge Dredd cover actually looked pretty impressive in a monochrome sort of way. But any cover featuring downlighting -- always a bad sign.
Purely an initial reaction: I should've known from Spaz's Frank Milleresque cover that this wasn't going to be a fun ride. It also explains the prev...
Now THIS is more LIKE it! Ian is starting to build onto the continuity rather than showing some useless characters the door. 2007 may see him actual...
If I may ask a polite question: WHO THE FRAG TOLD GARY BEDELL HE COULD DRAW??? :"> The art for "Courage and Honor" is some of the WOR...
I think the false binary of simple/complex is getting in the way here. Simple or not, when it comes to writing the only qualities that matter are BE...
Looks to me like the conflicts break down into three groups: good guys gone bad, bad guys in disguise, and noobs who have to learn who's the hero of t...
"Forget super forms, they just need McAfee VirusScan." Well said. And I hope everybody understand that "penultimate" means "...
I still have to go with "Forbidden Zone" from the Knuckles comic. The characters were the best; too bad Ken never even TRIED to milk all th...
I'd love to see some kind of Sonic/Miyazaki crossover, but I'm not sure how it would work. Maybe explaining that the Overlander population's roots co...
Last version of the rumor I heard, it was going to be a D2V, but tht story was already a couple years old. If you ask me, half the rumors in the worl...

No deus ex machina; just stupefyingly bad writing.
