silverzeo: Happy to share mode (Cheerful Sean)
[personal profile] silverzeo posting in [community profile] scans_daily
Need to get back to posting, as well as [personal profile] q99 and [personal profile] generator_rex taking part to share this awesome series in their respected posts on the blue hedgehog and the Eggman.

We start off in issue 225, Naugus's demand for the crown is interrupted with the arrival of the newly rebuilt Deathegg. Knowing how bad the first Deathegg was, as it could roboticize an entire planet (could it do that in the game?) , so the two parties join forces... for now. Sally and Sonic take the Tornado get on board the ship, which leads up to something Sonic fans been wanting since the cliche "breakup issue between Sal and Sonic...



Long backstory short: RIght after asking Sal's parents' blessing for their marriage, aliens attack Mobius, which was really earth, and they were about to destroy the planet with a black hole machine dealie, Sonic stopped it and got hauled across the galaxy, took Sonic a Hitcherhiker's trip for months to get back, only to have a year pass, to which everyone thought he was dead. As soon as he meet up with Sal again, he called into a mission. When he got back, Sal didn't want him to do more adventures, Sonic said no, Sal got mad, slap him, and they broke up...

On board, Silver Sonic appears, Sonic fights it while Sal moves on ahead... and... this happens





.... WHAT HAPPEN!?!?! What was that? DId Sally got shot? What!?! What!?! For the love of Segata Sanshirō, TELL ME!?!?!

Yeah, that's where the issue ends, the next issue starts out "Sonic Genesis" arc, and here what happens on the first page...




Wait, huh?


Wait, what about the Deathegg? What about Sally? How come Sonic doesn't know the Old Badniks?

Later on in the issue, Sonic runs into SNively, Eggman, and the Freedom Fighters: Sally, Antoine, and Boomer... and this is their FIRST meeting... yeah, this sounds like the DC reboot... the entire old comic ends on a cliff hanger... and replace with this... but as the episod-I mean story arc, continues, the Freedom Fighters begin to have deja vu, as well as reoccurring earthquakes getting stronger over time. The setting seem to take place in Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, and 4. We get the final boss 4 with Sonic facing Egg-face on the Deathegg, which reveals Ro'Buttnik's grand plan! That button he pressed, was really a RESTART button...

Another backstory short, the Freedom Fighters DIDN'T find the means to deroboticizition to restore the Robians to Mobian... an alien race of female clones did... they had magical science... not only did they restore Mobians, but also made that they can't be roboticize again. So Eggman's plan, to undermine Sonic's "chaos factor" was to alter the way of the world, but the problem was that the reality was tearing itself apart because of that, but if Buttnik uses the global roboticizer to turn the planet into a giant machine, it would keep the current reality still.



In short, he toss a ship at Sonic, and that attack knocks the rings out of him...



Sonic makes quick work of the Mecha, and we learn the planet is about to tear apart...




hehe, Shadow called Shady or Streaky... back to serious moment...




We then turn to issue 230... 10 seconds before the last pages of issue 225...







Then we get to the part of [personal profile] q99's post about Mecha Sally's coming to be: Eggman is going to use the roboticizer to destroy ALL of tech on the planet outside of the Deathegg. This leads to a epic battle that leads to this...





Yeah... you can hear the victory chime at this point.... too bad this is the GOOD ending to the gam- I mean comic!





And the story continues. The Blue Chaos Emerald that Eggman had for his ship is now missing, and he upgraded Sally to be a weapon Mobian, and took out one of the Freedom Fighters... who may die...If you actually like to have adventitious comics, without the needless shallow "dark" material or over the top violence, or just like old school games/cartoon shows, pick up this book. That's all I can say... also pick up Megaman if you like the classic games...

Love the art!
It's been increasing in quality these last couple of years, no?
I only read some of the earlier original Archie Sonic comics, but I've seen how ugly they got around the 2000s. Glad to see some quality art for my favorite cartoon hedgehog :)

Around the same time Ian Flynn took over writing, Jamal Peppers, Jim Amash, and Steve Downer took over art (pencils, inks, and colors respectively). They started out good and have only gotten more practice.

Tracy Yardley! has been the main one, though.

Huh, I'm looking at comics and what I *assumed* to be comics by the same artists turn out to be different ones. Ben Bates seems to be the penciler for the Genesis/Mecha Sally ones, for example.


So I think there might be a fairly large group who's all really good and consistent.

Indeed; I think Yardley was the one they had when Ian Flynn began, and if I'm not mistaken, has been the one to set the tone/pace for others to follow.

Well, kudos to all of them. It's really tricky to do consistently high-quality art of a level where I simply assumed it was all one great hard-working artist :)

I love Eggman's mustache droop when the button doesn't work.

I know! And the way he is holding that suddenly superfluous celebratory champagne flute!

I don't think the Death Egg did anything in the games, except blow up. It was just a McGuffin.

Actually it was the final level of sonic and Knuckles/ Sonic 3 and Knuckles for the sonic storyline.

Plus it also reignited the volcano in the lava reef zone just before the boss fight.

Yeah, I own Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles on xbox arcade. I personally think that's where the series peaked.

Yeah, I know that. (It was the final level in Sonic 2, too!) But silverzeo was asking about its powers and capabilities, and I don't think those were ever really defined. You can tell it's Bad News because it's got 'Death' in the name, and that's all you really need.

In the first kiss on the first scan her lower lip looks like a nipple. Can't unsee.

Otherwise, well done.

This really makes me want to play Generations again.

Also, I love that Eggmans work around for not being able to roboticize people anymore is "Build history eraser button."

Apparently Dr. Eggman is descended from Carl Sagan.
