Thank god. The book went to shit the minute they 'rebooted' it anyway. Now it can rest in peace.

Goodbye Nicole. You were too pure of an AI for this world.

Where's the proof from Archie themselves.

...

>Where's the proof from Archie themselves.

According to Archie, their Mega Man book is still "on hiatus".

They will never publically admit to losing the license or cancelling the title. It will just be "on hiatus" forever as their official word.

Even if another publisher picks up the rights, the Archie reps will still be saying "not cancelled, just on hiatus". That's how their PR does things.

I demand proof.

>No one actually gives a SHIT about Nicole the character.

You could say that about all of the female characters.

In my headcanon Archieverse died at the end of Worlds Collide when Eggman shot the Genesis Wave.

It's not like Nu252 was anything particularly interesting, it started getting good only with Fighters arc.

>tfw this was the last home the SatAM characters had
>now they'll be as forgotten as the majority of 60's Batman villains

In my headcanon, Antoine still wears a shirt, Sally doesn't wear pants, and Rotor doesn't look retarded.

That's literally what he did.

When the UK Sonic the Comic was cancelled, all of its OCs like Porker Lewis and Johnny Lightfoot vanished into limbo and were never used again by anybody ever.

The same will become of all the SatAM/Archie OCs. Sally and Antoine and Bunnie will be banished into limbo with the Sonic the Comic characters and Sonic Underground characters and Sega will never let them see the light of day ever again.

It is time to rejoice, my friends.

I only played the games but never gave a shit about the comics. Were any of the storylines even good?

Goodnight sweet princess

They never even said it was hiatus. They still haven't said anything.

They have to say something eventually since they've still got subscribers who had paid for the comics that they had previously announced and never released.

So, time for a new Ride?

...

If thread is still up in 4 hours, I'll dump my folder of Sonic reaction images and out of context panels.

The Archie people don't actually think anyone reads Archie itself, do they?

>No one actually gives a SHIT about X the character. They just like and fap to her DESIGN
Sup Forums in a nutshell

>It is time to rejoice, my friends.

Indeed. While the Sonic franchise continues to sink more and more into the depths of mediocrity, it was a shame to see the SatAM characters dragged down with it. Now that the book is gone, we can retire them and only think of the good times instead of always being reminded of the horrible present.

Wait what? Has Archie Sonic been cancelled?

>mediocrity
speak for yourself

this comic book series was my entire childhood and even though i haven't kept up with it this is super sad news. F

Amy fags win finally.

Let's wait and see if the actual design of the final product is up to snuff before we sing it's praises. Just making a game that looks and plays like a Genesis Sonic game isn't enough to get my hopes up. I've played plenty of mediocre fan games before. And they were all better than anything Sonic Team has shat out over the past 20 years

Why are Mania fags so obnoxious? They are getting excited for a Sonic CD 2.0, it's good stuff, but not NEW good stuff.

Is that legit or edit?

The fuck do you think.

>On my dick
What do you fucking think?

>it's good stuff

Different guy, but...I mean, for Sonic that would be a huge start.

Was hoping for a yes

I stopped reading around issue 60, so that's actually still the only image I have of them in my head.

That's everything eventually.

>as forgotten as the majority of 60's Batman villains

In what universe?

>they appear in sonic games.

>shat out
you didn't like pic related?

Not now they won't. Sega of Japan barely even knows the comic exists, let alone its OCs.

Unless by some miracle whoever gets the license now manages to use them, thats it. Game over. No more SatAM.

Not so much. I don't like boosty boost Sonic and the 2D sections played like ass. I need more than nostalgia, I need quality to come with it. Nice soundtrack tho.

Sega won't even let some of their homegrown game characters like Eggman Nega be used by anyone.

What makes you think they'd let anyone use a bunch of shit cartoon and comic OCs?

>Sega puts the characters in games
Grasping straws
>IDW Takes the reigns from Archie
HUGE Possibility.

Who cares.

The games themselves have been shit since the Saturn released.

hope you did because here it is again with special guest Bubsy

They know it exists. They just despise it on principle because it wasn't made by japanese people. Japanese people are xenophobic and racist.

IDW will take the license, but not the continuity.

They'll want to start over fresh and they'll likely have new orders sent down from Sega regarding what character they can and cannot use. They'll almost assuredly be limited to a list of approved Sega game characters and whatever NEW characters they can create.

Archie timeline is dead.

Well there ya go. Either way, the last traces of SatAM are dead and gone.

Fucking xenophobic Japs. Sometimes I wonder if two nukes were enough.

IDW will bring back the names and likeness, but will rewrite their history. They did the same thing for the Godzilla comics they did a while back.

>Sega won't even let some of their homegrown game characters like Eggman Nega be used by anyone.

Yeah, what the fuck is that about?

>They let Rouge, Blaze, Cream, Vanilla, the Chaotix, Tikal, and almost everyone else but Eggman Nega.
>They let Archie use Alex Kidd and Skies of Arcadia

Sega had future plans for him and didn't want them ruined ahead of time?

>Sega let Archie use Alex Kidd, Billy Hatcher and several other IPs for the Megaman Cross over.

>Either way, the last traces of SatAM are dead and gone.

Good. And I'm saying that as someone who thinks SatAM is one of the only good things to come out of that rotten franchise.

I remember loving the comics as a kid, back when they first came out.
I think they were mostly one off stories, or at least no big arcs back then.

>Nintendo swoops in and buys all the Archie character IPs
>Super Princess Sally.

Ken Penders wins. He is now free to make Julie Su or what ever that character is, into a franchise.

Can't have a franchise if no one buys it.

You doubt the power of Penders? He wants a theme park for it as well!

Or if he never makes it.

God, this is the worst part of all this.

Has Chris-chan commented on this matter at all?

...

>archie sonic is gone and classic sonic is making a comeback in gaming
guess autists on suicide watch then

There's a charm to these comics that the more recent ones lack. I think it's because they spent more time trying to be funny than trying to be all fan-servicey.

Bunnie's life was suffering.
>OG Backstory is she was half robotisized
>New Backstory is she was crippled beyond repair and HAD to be robotisized.
>Had to marry a French dude.

the bar is low for Sonic. Mania looks like the best thing to come out of sonic in a while and it's just a glorified rom hack. A lot of the hype is hope that it becomes a main stay so Sonic Team can fuck off with trying to do 2D. Have two different series at the same time to appeal to both the retro and modern crowd.

Sax. Cymbal.

It's Disney gaining Star Wars all over again. I wonder if Archiefags will buy a billboard.

Cuz they knew the Sonic series should be goofy.

Ya know, exactly what Forces is trying too hard NOT to be.

He's been free to do that for a few years, he just hasn't gotten around to it because that would require effort.

I don't think Chris-chan was ever that big into the Archie stuff. He always seemed to have a preference for the games.

honestly i only remember sonics genesis/megadrive era, i couldnt give less of a fuck about it when they made it 3d
to me it looked and played awful
the character went from appealing mascot to some dragonball looking shit with god awfull cinematic drama stories when it should have been simple storytelling like sonic 3 or the mario games
thank fuck i didn't buy the saturn instead of the play station

I'm not sure what Forces is, but if it's a modern game that doesn't surprise me at all.

...

Yeah, he seems like the type to jerk off all over Rouge the Bat or Amy Rose porn than Bunnie or Sally. In fact, he seems like the type who would throw a real tantrum at the mere sight of any of the 'non-canon' characters.

So far it looks like Sonic Generations meets Sonic 06.

Or worse, Shadow the Hedgehog.

Comes out later this year. First thing Sega ever showed of it was an army of giant Eggman robots burning down a city, like something out of Terminator.

In a series where a blue hedgehog fights an egg-shaped manchild with an amusement park fetish.

>Rouge and Bunnie, the two top heavy girls of the Sonic series
>fighting

I owned both Saturn and Playstation and enjoyed my Saturn more.

I still have my Saturn hooked up, actually. I think my Playstation is in my closet under a pile of old GamePlayers magazines.

>Bitches please.

DC's Sonic the Hedgehog Rebirth when?

In a series where almost every last character has a snout this purple fella looks mutilated.

>getting kicked in the stomach by robotic legs through a fucking pillar
holy shit

>Flirted with Tails.

Too bad it was drawn during Spaz's 'experimental' phase instead of by superior 1995 Spaz.

If Sega had its shit together in the mid-90's the Saturn would've dominated.

Didn't Ian promise to never, ever mention that again?

Not that it matters. She was Pendered, wasn't she?

She wasn't made by Penders. She was Ian's own creation.

>Ian's creation
>first appeared in the Tails mini-series from 1995

...

Barby Koala? She was from the Tails Mini-series. A Mike Gallagher creation.

She was made by someone other then Penders, all that matters.

ITT furries

If the West had gotten the original controller, the other 70% of the game library, and Segata Sanshiro? Definitely.

Calm down, fuccboi.

I thought they started removing pretty much everyone that wasn't either created by Sega/DiC or Ian just as a precaution against one of the other writers trying to pull a Penders.

>Or worse, Shadow the Hedgehog.
>worse
'06 was significantly less playable than Shadow the Hedgehog.

...

Face it, user. Sonic fans are all furries.
