The whole self insert thing was creepy, isnt there a tweet of Penders going all "hehehe Geoff fucked Sally way before Sonic did hyuck hyuck"
From what I remember, Ken absolutely hated Sally. He spent half his tenure trying to kill her off in increasingly dumb ways, the only reason he ever tried to pair her up with his OC was because he wanted to dab on Sonic.
Shame she didn't stay dead and instead became a character no-one knows what to do with, and then Flynn repurposed her to be a nuisance. Also, Fang can't use guns, but he can casually murder his family off-screen.
Who was also a parody of King Arthur plus a Sonic stand-in, one who marries a female Echidna made by Penders, kek.
Which means that Amy's attraction to Sonic is weird, at least.
I think Geoff should have been quietly forgotten about rather than trying to repurpose him by making him lol-evil instead of incompetent, I wasn't fully okay with this plot-twist, but I feel a bit of pity towards that glorified Pepe Le Pew guy.
Tot he point he almost had her offed for good in what was meant to be the end of the comic, lol. Oh, and he made a male heir to the throne to permanently reduce her reason of existence to redundancy.
He basically this was his idea for a story that he wanted to make happen, but never did.
Ye, I won't lie I kinda did like the girl, but they really didn't know what to do with her. First she was a Sonic fangirl, then a mean bitch to Nicole, and then well...yea huge pile of nothing. Man, don't remind me of that shit.
It's still hilarious how, out of all these echidnas he pumped out, only three got staying power because they actually stuck out and were interesting. Oh and let's not forget those ants that helped the echidnas, could breath fire, and one of 'em was named Semper Fi.
Mina never died. It was simply a cheap attempt at relationshit drama aka the usual for archie sonic. Most websites reuploading the scans forgot to include the last page and that ended up with people thinking she had actually died and then was brought back later, which wasn't the case. The issue actually ends with Mina being fine at the hospital accepting she's never gonna tap that hedgehog dick thus ending the Mina/Sally love triangle bullshit for good.
Wasn't the only reason he took the job because his son was a huge Sonic fan and that no one else knew what Sonic was?
Imagine being Penders' kid. Your dad gets a gig writing for Sonic the Hedgehog, you're psyched, you open the comic and there's thirty new echidnas with names like Lorbo the Wise and Crotchblade. I hope he got bullied at school over this.
I dunno about that part, I do recall something of him wanting to use the Archie Sonic comic to get his own shit published.
Huh, I legit only saw one site that had this scan and I guess I forgot about it and my brain made me think they retconned her death. Even so, it still felt cheap how can someone after clearly being shot in the back with a revolver like that, if nothing else the girl should have been paralyzed like Barbara Gordon was.
After losing the sword duel, some Overlanders did grav rocket ship and yeeted themselves into the stars. The ones that remained, I think was implied King Acorn wanted them locked away in POW camps and Robotnik went "nah, I got this sir" and just merked some by using the warlords whom he used in the retcon to start the Mobian v Human conflict (ye, in the retcon both kids were captured by warlords that worked with Robotnik and both got killed and thus each side was played against the other)
Ye, this was their attempt to write in Station Square from the games into the comic world, how its a huge ass city that exists inside a volcano, who somehow have an artificial sky and sun.
It’s funny, I was actually a pretty loyal reader of Archie Sonic somewhere around issue 18 to like, 150. They were always trying to crowbar in product tie-ins, but it kind of worked? Not because it made sense, but because the comic had this sense of slapstick comedy. Tails goes on a solo mission in a submarine armed with a giant mechanical drill and then it’s never mentioned again. That's just Tuesday in Mobius:
You just called forth memories of an ancient lolcow for me, and I'd like to share it.
Was it the one where they go between different timelines, where Sally is dead or alive and only Sonic seems to catch on to this?
I'll give the comics props, Tikal did become a re-occuring character in a few issues which was actually nice. Though, personally to me it gotten mo hilarious when they tried crowbar in SA2 or even Shadows game.
Tikal was much better than that Microsoft Clippy-ass bitch Omochao. And her theme song goes hard.
