Sonic is put out by Archie, Archie is the only comic on shelves at Grocery Stores.

I'd ask where have you been but this has how it's been since the 1940s

>now

Archie comics have been sold on grocery racks forever.

Im referring to sonic, not archie. Also, why is archie the only comic sold at major retail stores now? Its not good, in fact its known for being incredibly shit and wholesome.

Archie sells the Sonic comic you mongoloid.

The reason it sells at grocery stores is BECAUSE it's wholesome, there's no issue about it ever being too controversial

>I'm a flaming newfag who got really confused when I saw a comic in the flesh

I know archie sels the sonic mag, but why the fuck do they have sonic comics to begin with?

They want to make money shithead, they're a business and the sonic comics do well for them.

HOLY FUCK

okay newfag. Archie in the 90s got the rights to tons of properties and sold comics for them. Sonic was the most popular title out of the new IPs and is still one of the best selling series that Archie has so they have just kept the rights since then.

It's not the fucking hard. I don't know if your retarded or just young but fucking do some research before you ask stupid questions

>Hating the Sonic comics

Just stop. STOP. The comics are probably the best part of Sonic nowadays considering all the shit video games he keeps getting.

Why do they reprint the comics of such a shit IP that literally no one but autists cares about. THATS my question.

>hating digests
wtf is wrong with you

See

kids like them you fucking faggot

because, dipshit, it is their most popular line next to main line Archie.

It makes them MONEY, the thing that companies NEED to keep production going. It doesn't matter if it's shit or you don't like it, it makes FUCKING MONEY

no ones defending the comic. OP asked why there's a comic in a grocery store and for some reason isn't understanding any of the reasons given.

That's not the Archie Sonic comic at all, that's just someone's fanart from deviantart. Is this your first time knowing a Sonic comic even exists?

I understand WHY a comic is in there, i just dont understand why its sonic because i thought only its extremly niche and cancerous fanbase liked it anymore. I didnt mean to trigger the whole fucking board. I just hate sonic alright. Is that clear enough for ya?

maybe google it next time fuccboi

kids like it

I don't even like Sonic all that much, but you're a fucking idiot

Who is more autistic?

The guy who draws this fetish shit or the retard who saves it and posts it on a taiwanese image macro forum?

Google what, my hatred for sonic? The whole reason i made this thread is because i didnt think sonic warrented a reprint of his digest, considering how no one gives a flying fuck about him.

>its known for being incredibly shit and wholesome.

edgefag spotted

kids like it

They sell breast cancer?

I specifically serched it just to prove a point to you retards on this thread, i didnt save it.

>considering all the shit video games he keeps getting.

Why does this meme persist? Sonic 06 came out ten years ago.

YOU SICK FUCK

those aren't beanfeet

People have already explained to you that it sells really well for them.

People give a fuck or else they wouldn't be printing them. Your view on something isn't the same as everyone else's.

>2006 was ten years ago.
FUCK

Beanfeet are retarded and so is anyone who likes them.

>X has a shitty fanbase therefore X is shit

user please, that argument is retarded.

Because Boom reawakened the painful memories.

How does it sell? I dont see anyone talk about sonic besides chris and other autists.

FUCKING CHILDREN

it's sold in a place where most children are at once a month, a grocery store instead of a specialty comic shop.

And kids FUCKING LIKE SONIC.

WHY DO KIDS LIKE SONIC? I DON'T FUCKING KNOW BUT THEY DO.

pls kill yourself and leave

>How does it sell?
People pay currency for the books that are sold in stores

the real question is why they're advertising sonic advance so long after the release of the gba game.

DO YOU SEE CHILDREN TALK ABOUT SONIC, NO YOU DONT, FUCKING KILL YOURSELF

Do you know every kid in the world?

>DO YOU SEE CHILDREN TALK ABOUT SONIC

I WOULDNT KNOW, THIS IS A 18+ WEBSITE AND I DONT HANG AROUND SCHOOLS. IS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TELL US user?

user, who do you think are the ones who primarily buy Sonic videogames?

>sonicboom53
based

>hates Sonic because autists
>gets into autistic rage after seeing anything sonic related

No, because we don't hang around children like you apparently do, you degenerate piece of shit.

Are you certifiably retarded? THEY MAKE MONEY. It is as simple as that.

I seriously hope you're not working in a business if you are this fucking stupid.

I think maybe you need to have a seat over there.

All of his Blaze pictures are 10/10

...

Because the autists pay them money.

My gf has a younger brother, and all he talks about is minecraft and TMNT. Sonics not exactly popular with the kids anymore.
Pathetic neckbeards

>Only has one example
>Actually thinks it holds any water
You're literally autistic.

This fucking thread

user, do you know what confirmation bias is?

It's obvious that you're trying to hard at being a troll, OP. Go to Sup Forums where your kind is slightly more welcome.

And I've got two nephews that, whenever they come over, all they wanna' do is watch cartoons. Reading must not be popular with the kids anymore.

My wife's son talks about Sonic all the time

...

The spergy Sonic fandom is genuinely endearing and the only reason to get this fuckin mad about them existing is if you're trollshielding

Seriously, it's a sad state of affairs over at Prevention Weekly. Why are they getting on that "natural, holistic" bullshit snake oil?

It's Prevention Guide. Unaffiliated with the upstanding people at Prevention Weekly.

Oh, thank God. I was worried that they were jumping on that bandwagon. Is Prevention Guide run by "Doctor" Oz or something?

rude thread all around 2bh

not very good

>OP thought he was gonna get a runaway Sonic hate thread going
>OP didn't know that he was in for a very bad day

My 8 year old brother and his 3rd grade friends love Sonic, and even watch the older Sonic cartoons on the internet.

There's one example.

Op makes the sonic fandom look normal, even cool by comparison

I babysit kids and you'd be surprised how many little boys still like Sonic. I don't get it it's not like there's been a good Sonic game since generations and there was hardly anything before that either.

>OP makes the sonic fandom look normal

If you believe the news cancer is everywhere now so finding it on a rack isn't surprising.

Arin, what are you doing here? You need to film the next twelve episodes of game grumps.

Oh, boo hoo.

Its true the comics have been pretty enjoyable as of late

I didn't know faggots could start threads. Just kidding, I knew.

>literally no one but autists cares about
It fucking outsells some Marvel comics you retard

>I understand WHY a comic is in there
Then this thread is over.

I DONT TALK TO FUCKING CHILDREN BUT, YES, I EXPECT THEY DO.

>Cartoon currently out
>Handhelds, Colours and Generations were good
>Children have a lower bar of quality for the media they consumed
Plus
>Character is brightly coloured, has a "too cool" personality, animal anthro, and cool powerset. I'd be more surprised if kids didn't like him

yes, and the best thing you can say about any game released since then is "it wasn't TOO horrible"

C'mon Arin, Mario Maker isn't going to play itself

are you trying to say the Sonic comic is bad?

>Implying Colors and Generations were bad

I don't know about that, it's fairly hard to find solid figures on Sonic or any of the Archie comics.

Comichron's page on Archie:

comichron.com/titlespotlights/archie.html

covers a single title ("Archie") and suggests that in recent years around 6 in 10 copies *printed* are returned unsold to the publisher, which is one of the problems of the sale or return model (that, notably, DC comics have just adopted - vastly inflating their "sales" figures through Diamond, even though they may be taking similar numbers of returns, for which they'll only receive a fraction of the cover price as deposit to cover their production costs).

It also seems to be selling around 15,000 copies/issue, though there's a lot of variation across the years of this decade. The data is fairly detailed and gives us a lot of good points (unlike the Diamond data, which is just raw sales to retailers, and doesn't include returns) but it doesn't seem like Archie itself is outselling any Marvel comics in recent years - it falls below Marvel's cancellation threshold in most recent years (but above DC's).

Sonic would have to be selling much better in order to beat that. You could check relatively simply - you just need 12 months of comics, because they'll have the average total paid circulation printed somewhere in one month's issue. I couldn't tell you offhand why Marvel/DC don't seem to do that with their own publications other than to say that it's probably something to do with being classed as "direct sales" even though they're not selling direct to consumers. If that is the case, we'll start seeing it in DC comics from now on - because they've changed their model.

Sonic Mania will save Sanic

There was a time when all comics were sold on a rack at the local bodega.

That's how most of us got into comics.

Dunno why they stopped, especially if they want to try and make readers out of everyone watching the movies.

No, this boost2win shit is equally as bad.

>Boost2win
>Forgetting platforming
>Forgetting the homing attack
Don't talk shit about games you haven't played

A fanmade rom hack cannot save the series.

It's not fanmade and it's not a rom hack

>A fanmade rom hack cannot save the series.
In your opinion, do you realize how much nostalgia fags are excited for this.

>Forgetting platforming
There is none you can hold a button to speed right past that with relative ease.

You haven't played any of the boost games then

>soniccycle.jpg

>It's not fanmade
The dev said it himself he was the biggest fan of Sonic as a child.
>not a rom hack
The engine they're using is directly based of the Genesis games.

It doesn't count as fanmade if they were promoted to official status. And the engine used doesn't make it a rom hack

>this thread

>It doesn't count as fanmade if they were promoted to official status
They're a third party dev he doesn't officially work for Sonic team. He even a member of Sonic Retro which houses hundreds of Sonic romhacks in same vein as him. Or do you consider them all "official" now.
>the engine used doesn't make it a rom hack
Its using assets from the older games instead of creating his own. The only difference is that he isn't restricted by hardware of the Genesis.

Would you count an official sequel to a movie as a fanfilm if the director was a fan of the original?

Where should I start with Sonic comics?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Comic_Distributors

tl;dr Diamond Comics Distributors, founded in the early 1980s, became a big customer of and eventually took over larger distributors (originally working as a middleman between them and the retailers) on the national level. It's named after the diamond that Marvel Comics used to print on non-returnable comic books, back when Marvel still did sale-or-return printing. By the mid 1990s Diamond had an effective monopoly on distribution in part because the largest publishers it served were moving away from sale or return and had expanded their lines beyond what any non-specialist retailer could find shelf-space for.

tl;tl;dr;dr you'd need about 50 racks for all the comics now

they'd love to make readers out of everyone watching the movies - even last year's Fantastic Four was seen about 7 million times domestically, which would just shit all over everything else if they could sell 7 million comics alone each month, but it doesn't work that way for various complex reasons
