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).
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.

Wonder if so few people will pre order that he'll try and scrape up a kickstarter or something.
"That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another."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.
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.

It resembles narcissism, but it may not be my place to play armchair psychiatrist.

My musician pageI'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).
The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!
