IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Comics General Discussion

Gray Mann would be proud.

What'd he do?

In the world of tf2, he was raised by an eagle who took him in as her own. But when he grew strong enough, he killed her and all her chicks and ate them.

I think they meant Eggman. XD

Oh

He decided the first target for his Zombot disease should be the village who took him in, flooding the whole place till everyone and everything was zombotified

Not really a surprise. Flynn's Eggman is a fucking monster.

Yeah, I noticed that as well.

So what name do you think we should give Eggman's roboticization virus?

I suggest we call it the E-virus.

The comic calls it the Metal Virus, so probably that. (Maybe the Zombot Virus?)

The spirit of Satam Robotnik lives on.

They also call it robo flu

Dr.Wily would like to know your location

So I went and purchased a bunch of Sonic media on account of... The movie's use of gangster's paradise making me angry so I queued up escape from the city to show people how great Sonic music would be in its place and before you know it my youtube recommendations where full of sonic music and now I can't get any of it out of my head.

ANYWAYS I really like the first two volumes (Eight issues) because holy crap outside of some manga I have never seen action scenes flow so well. There's no Luckily, My Powers Will Protect Me or anything, the comic just assumes you are familiar with the characters' abilities and lets the fight unfold in creative ways. Love it. I certainly didn't expect that to be a highlight, I grew up reading some sonic comics but they where largely gag filled. (Did Horizont Al and Verti Cal really keep showing up even after the comics got serious?)

I'm going to be cursed to be way behind if I stick to trades, which is annoying because I'm pretty excited about the upcoming arc that's old news to everyone else at this point. I will say that Tangle and Blaze's meeting reminded me heavily of this tweet.

They did, twice. Once shortly after issue 50 aka Big Robotnik Defeat once the comic officially became serious, Gallagher wanted to use characters again, so he wrote SERIOUS story how their dimension got damaged and they got reformed as giant angry robots blaming each other for what happened and then spend rest of their time fighting each other.

After that they were forgotten, but years later Ian Flynn, who loves reusing old concepts, revealed that they were eventually arrested by Zone Cops and put in prison wearing inhibitor collars that turned them back to their goofy selves. They appeared in Scourge: Lockdown mostly as comic reliefs, though they briefly lost their collars so Scourge could use them as to distract the guards.

I love how the current arc for IDW can be considered an horror story.

Specially given the new issue.

Damn, everything is going to shit.

I feel bad for Sonic, he must be feeling like utter shit because two of his mistakes caused all of this.

And it shows i affected him.

But also poor Vector, Espio, Charmy, Amy...well everyone not named Eggman and Starline.

Gosh, the current storyline is a reason why I love Ian Flynn as a storywriter.

The part with the cars was hard to watch, damn.

So I take it that Sonic decided not to kill Eggman was a massive mistake?

Oh so very much.

I hope we get a moment of Eggman rubbing Sonic's face with that fact. No Good Deed Goes Unpunished indeed.

Eggman should rub in the face that he let Metal go and that snapped him back to his true self.

Shadow will probably told him "I told you so" when he meets Sonic again.

Shadow will probably do much more than that.

Sonic has probably lost the trust of a lot of people with this stunt. And Shadow ain't exactly a forgiving dude (or is he now? It's hard to tell with those Anti-Hero types).

Sonic is gonna get stomped and badly.

I suppose I picked a bad time to drop the comic.
