[up] I actually bought tickets months ago along with booking a hotel for the weekend. (as the bus that gets me to Minneapolis didn't run on weekends, so mom and I had to leave on Friday morning, attend the concert Saturday night, then chill out on Sunday and leave on Monday afternoon).

[up] His obsession with echidnas is concerning me though.

I ain't giving him a penny. If some poor fool actually buys it, let us know how bad it is.

I do hope it sells so the Scourge reboot gets made.

I want to see that one and the lawsuits that start.

His faces are so gross. Furry characters with flat human faces and big lips, with the weird texture and wrinkles, is just HARD Uncanny Valley for me.

It's the eyes for me. The way he draws eyes is just... unsettling. Often his characters don't even look like they're looking at what they're supposed to be looking at, just... staring bug-eyed into some strange middle distance.

Wonder if so few people will pre order that he'll try and scrape up a kickstarter or something.

Just a heads up. That isn't the first volume of the Lara-Su Chronicles. That is a collection of his Mobius 25 Years Later story arc from the Archie Sonic comics. As in bad bootleg scans of the comics taken from the internet with barely any changes made to them, and with a new ending. I remember he tried to get 200 preorders, but he didn't get that many. He had the books printed in Singapore. The entire order is at the docks, and he plans to sell some of them at Comic Con. The book is just one of the many projects he has barely done instead of making the actual series.

I would definitely recommend not making an order for the book.

I'm sure no one was planning on doing that seriously.

Real talk - is Ken Penders insane? Is he mentally unwell?

I cannot understand screwing over an entire company with maybe some legal precedent and thinking that your smaller project is going to do well.

We're talking one of the biggest of dick moves (effectively shutting down and rebooting an entire universe just because some of your characters populate it) and then expecting people to pick up your new furry webcomic fanfic with barely changed names just to show the minimal effort you put into making it.

He could at least have written a Twitter post like all the celebrities do when they do something brazen explaining his point of view. To my understanding he was at least right in that SEGA didn't appear to have the contract/permissions to keep using his ideas *(cringy as they might have been they were still his).

He can't seriously think this is going to work.

The ThanksKenPenders blog certainly is getting one for closure.

But any publicity for him is free publicity, so if you don't feel particularly strongly about him, just don't give it the time of day.

Speaking of which, you know what would've made a better shot to re-draw in part 5 of "Sonic Mania Adventures"? The one of Eggman looking shocked after Sonic tricks Metal Sonic into a trap, where we see Eggman's cartoon eyes

[up]x6

Penders has recently stated that he plans on releasing a Knuckles omnibus in the future. Even though he couldn't sell 10% of the 2,000 books of the current book he had printed. I doubt the Knuckles book will get made at this point, but who really knows.

[up]x7 Pretty much hit the nail on the head. Anyone familiar with Archie Sonic would be furious at him and refuse to give him money, and anyone not familiar wouldn't care about him or his work at all.

Actually I'll come back once the Penders flame dies down.

I'm still hoping we get a modern nod back to Tails Adventure, with the Metroidvania-esque gameplay given more depth and a touch of Metal Gear :V

To differentiate his gameplay, he'd use the Cyclone instead of the Classic Tornado, so he can get the varied gameplay segments of using the Cyclone's alternate modes as a walker and a racecar (and maybe even break out the old submarine).

I've never understood the appeal behind the Chao Gardens.
