>IDW is putting this idiot in charge of the Sonic comic
Is IDW autistic? Why bring the guy who literally destroyed the Sonic comic and put him on your new Sonic comic?!!!!

Do you even know who Ken Penders is?

It's funny because Ian doesn't even like the video games (especially not the beloved Genesis games). He only loves that shitty 90s cartoon and muh Sally.

SEGA should have given Sonic to Marvel tbqh

>CTRL F Penders 0 results

mega man is on hiatus user, it's not cancelled.

Suuuuuuure, Ian. Suuuuure.

How did you get 0 results user??

Penders didn't force Ian to write a shitty expensive crossover or forced him to bomb the Mega Man comic.

Ian is cancer and trusting him with anything Sonic related proved IDW are idiots.

Sure Ken

So how long til IDW loses the Sonic license?

I didn't know Ian had that much pull.

He wrote the worst Mega Man comic that led to it getting cancelled. They had the Mega Man comic license and in such a short time he managed to crash it. No comic creator has ever done as bad.

And you want him in charge of your lead video game book?

wasn't he the dude that wrote the megaman comic where the robots had noticeable emotions? I remember people on Sup Forums being quite supportive of it.

He was the one that made a ton of shitty human OCs and wrote the cringy robot racism arc.

>Implying archie megaman wasn't shit to begin with
You can't crash something that's already broke to begin with.

Ian didn't make things better

>SEGA should have given Sonic to Marvel tbqh
Who loves the Sonic games at Marvel, user? Let's have this discussion.

I thought it was ken penders

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if idw was dumb enough to hire penders.

I didn't read past the part where they start introducing donut steels so I don't know or care who ian is.

Fuck Megaman. There I said what most of us already feel.

The only good thing to come out of that franchise was the Roll porn.

What if Idw tricked penders into giving up the rights to all his old sonic characters?

Then he'd still retain some notoriety instead of spiraling into obscurity now that the comic is dead.

What an idiot

>I don't like this IP
>therefore it's okay when someone ruins it

Wow! user! You are so smart! I bet you watch Rick and Morty!!!

But seriously, that's not how buinesss works. You don't reward someone for killing a franchise or license. That's like rewarding Zack Snyder for BvS or Singer for X-Men Apocalypse.
Business is based off money, not your feelfeels.

>Ian was forced by the editor to push his pet character onto him
>Therefore it's Ian's fault

Ian is a shitty writer and shitty buisness man who crashed the Mega Man comic and eventually the Sonic Comic. Trusting him with any power is a dumb idea.

I expect IDW to lose Sonic because of it.

Whatever. As long as it sells.

Frankly, if it doesn't, it'll be the result of IDW not having wider distribution rather than Ian.

Think his family will sell them off when he dies?

So what you are saying is retaining the rights to his sonic characters cost him his legacy?

>It's funny because Ian doesn't even like the video games
I find that difficult to believe with the sheer amount of references he makes to those games in his writing.

You can't be serious.

Now that Archie is dead. I don't think they'll be putting out reprints of his stuff.

That was his biggest, most significant body of work. Now that it's gone, there's nothing left to tie his legacy to until the Lara-su Chronicles crashes and burns.

Yeah... references that have been used and reused on YouTube time and again.

>SnooPING AS usual!
>It's from the show! From the show! I'm gonna be on TV!
>You can't defeat me! I'm Air Man!

He might bug IDW for money over some Star Trek issues he drew.

There are way more than internet memes that he used for references and you'd know that if you actually read the comic.

Both of those movies made money though.

You're obviously forgetting the comic where MM wanted to go to school as a real boy. THAT'S the bottom.

And here's the asshole.

Ya know, the "going to school" thing wasn't really a bad idea, just done terribly.

And maybe not a whole show around it, just a few stories.

Damn dude, you had to make a new thread just to shitpost because the other Sonic thread wasn't biting like you wanted

Look at this guy telling big lies on the internet

Poor thing. His retention of rights gave him infamy but only as long as the comic existed

>Lara-su Chronicles

What exactly is going on with that?

Nothing. Hopefully.

I will say that this has been great for the butthurt of those two anons from /sthg/ who come around here who always shitpost about wanting just Sonic, Tails, Eggman and maybe Knuckles, and think the Comics are the worst thing ever.

>Flynn crashed the megaman comic

Except that's wrong. It was making numbers. Archie crashed the comic due to their financial mismanagement of the whole Archie kickstarter and the second Sonic/Megaman crossover.

>It's funny because Ian doesn't even like the video games (
You are absolutley getting him confused with Ken Penders. Or is that the joke?

Hey, remember Sonic Mega Drive? Remember the guy who wrote that?

I just wonder what kind of verbal exchange Iizuka and Penders had in the picture. Is Iizuka aware of what Penders has done to the comics and how it affected Knuckles?

Is there some autistic anti-Flynn fag that takes every opportunity to shit on him that I wasn't aware of?
Anyways, I sorta lost interest around the Mega Man crossover/after the Pendering, but I still hope Ian and the rest of the crew does well with IDW.

With hesse involved it gives me this weird hope that this new project might become something great and actually lead somewhere cool for sonic in general. Like I like to think Sonic is so fucking successful due to the immediacy of how good his design and aesthetics are, I have seen kids just gravitate and stick towards him because he looks cool and that's powerful.
I think hesse understands and communicates the best side of sonic really well just at a glance.
Never read the comics or played the modern games but I was a sega kid growing up and I love seeing sonic doing good.
