Sonic the Hedgehog: Tangle & Whisper #2

[deh_tommy]

Mimic makes his escape while Whisper rushes off to rescue Tangle, and after a bit of searching she finds the safe. cracks open the safe and gets her out. True to Mimic’s word, the bombs go off right at that moment, and with no other way out in time Tangle kicks Whisper into the safe with her to ride out the explosion.









“...Okay. I’ll tell you everything.”

In their defence, it was produced and released when the story of the games was a lot more malleable/less defined than it would be these days.

I don't know it's fair to say there was "no interest in the universe of the characters" by the writers. I remember at least one of the staff of SatAM they'd brought on wanted to make it a continuation of that show, might have even been lured to it under that pretense, but they didn't go with it.

There was less in-game lore back then which is why SATAM, Fleetway, the Archie comics and Underground created so many original characters/concepts to flesh it out

Still irked me that it took so long for the chaos emeralds to be involved in most of them. Fleetway was right on it, but SatAM and Underground never even acknowledged them. Even though I think Underground had the Master Emerald. Instead they acted like the rings were amazing artifacts. They litter the landscape and float in the air in the games.

I did like the Archie reveal that rings were invented by a friendly mad scientist who was friends with a Yeti

Named Eddie

Eddie the Yeti

I think the wildest change to the games lore the Archie stuff did had to be everything to do with the Echidnas.

"Knuckles lost people are engaged in a bloody and vicious holy war between a theocratic authoritarian regime that thinks all technology is evil and a technocratic cult of cyborg quasi-fascists led by his batshit insane ancestor and also he's being spied on by his Racist Grandpas who all faked their suicides in front of their children to go live in a creepy survival bunker where they spy on everyone"

And yet Ken Penders couldn't understand why they wouldn't let him write for the games
