Ken Penders is a man of... questionable taste.Okay, whose idea was it to name the prison in the Sonic comic book in honor of the goddamn GULAG? I'm not even angry, just in shock.

I am sure that you are confused. The Devil's Gulag appears earlier in 42 issue . I remember that from reading the comic strip.The island first appeared in Issue 98, this is the people that worked on that.
So my money is on Penders.
Ah, got it.I am sure that you are confused. The Devil's Gulag appears earlier in 42 issue . I remember that from reading the comic strip.
I read up to the 110th issue of the comic. I must admit, I think that the inclusion of humans and their city from the games was made somewhat ridiculous. But I don't think it would be easy to do it differently there and not break everything.
I still don't understand why people laugh and hate at these comics so much. Maybe because I do not read the story of the echidnas. But besides some points with the fact that the King Acorn is an asshole, I don't see what's so bad.
I literally can't read about the Echidhas because I don't have access to the comics on them. And I don't understand anything.The Echidnas were a sticking point, although it also bled onto other things, if I recall correctly, including Sally later saying her father was completely in the right for saying that they should enact pogroms against the roboticised Mobians. His comments after leaving the comics caused people to look at them in a new and uncomfortable light as well.

IE claiming that St.John was his SI OC and that he took Sally's virginity while she was a minor, shit like that.Pender's also made a number of out-of-comic comments that lower a lot of opinions retroactively too.
Yes, it's pretty disgusting.IE claiming that St.John was his SI OC and that he took Sally's virginity while she was a minor, shit like that.
Yes, it's pretty disgusting.
But I will say something else that I did not like in the Ian period. Why did you have to make St.John a traitor? I know that he is a huge asshole in the first comics, I read them. Then he got better and just disappeared at some point. I honestly preferred that John simply remain a background character who sometimes works with Sonic than this strange arch with betrayal and magic.
I mean exactly this new development . I just don't buy it and see it as a retcon of the past. Perhaps this is due to the fact that I actually read these old Issues recently. But I just don't see how John really served Ixis NagusDefine Traitor? IIRC, St.John was loyal to Ixis Nagus from the Penders days. He didn't see it as being a traitor because King Acorn swore fealty to Nagus at one point. I don't recall him selling the Freedom Fighters out to anyone else? Or am I just forgetting?
I read those old comics as well, and I can easily see him as being a traitor( or even just acting like he was) if it advances whatever agenda he had.Perhaps this is due to the fact that I actually read these old Issues recently.
Yes, I can see this interpretation of John. Due to many factors, John behaved at least strangely. But personally, I never got the feeling that he was not devoted to Max. On the contrary, he is too loyal to him and too ready to be his attacking dog. However, I think that this whole story with secret devotion to Nagus does not fit there. Regarding his true goals, it was always strange. And then John married Hershey and somehow stopped showing up a lot.I read those old comics as well, and I can easily see him as being a traitor( or even just acting like he was) if it advances whatever agenda he had.
IIRC his actual goals were always suspect and didn't ever really seem to mesh with his methods.
He is a pacifist. He holds back A LOT. He could've easily smashed that bottle over that guy's head in that bar hard enough to put him in the hospital.
Why yes, super-speed is completely busted, pretty much everyone on this forum was aware of this.
The fact that the live-action movie somehow better portrays Sonic's overall power than any of the games have in the past near-decade makes me feel... something.yes, but with this specific character, the extent is pretty egregious. Especially by live-action movie standards.
I finally finished reading all the Archie Sonic Comics that is (Not including side series). I was surprisingly happy to see the post super genesis world. It is incredible how it feels differently compared to what it was before. Personally, I think that when Ian began with a new sheet, his creative wings literally opened. Of course, it's incredibly sad that it all ended so early. But his adaptation of the Sonic werewolf saga was wonderful.
Yes, it was very good, especially how he made new characters to be Regional Bosses under Eggman. These characters were interesting.Yes, he did a good job of giving similiarites but making it distinct. And he did get to complete one very large arc in it.
This is the character that, through spinning fast enough, routinely turned himself into a living buzzsaw in other media.yes, but with this specific character, the extent is pretty egregious. Especially by live-action movie standards.
