>>39984 Something from literal years ago that's finally getting some use. I too had forgotten it was a thing.

>>40034 it's a videogame

>>40038 Yeah, but if we're gonna say that Sonic is doesn't have a problem with killing enemies, then at a certain point it begs the question.

Context matters. Sonic gladly merc's King Arther in cold blood (before he finds out he's a demon spawn illusion). Even celebrates after cutting him down. Also didn't have a problem w/ Shadow Genocide-ing the Black Arms. Again, even cheered him on while it happened. Sonic's master is his own whims. If he wants to off a guy, he'll do it.

>>40067 it really doesn't the reason eggman doesn't die is because they know they'll want to use him as a villain again later and they simply don't care about the implications no one ever gets on mario's case about not killing bowser

>>40035 How does that explain what he turned into in the latest issue?

>>40034 because the bad guy always gets away at the end

>>40082 Sonic is technically a more serious universe than Mario.

I stopped reading this shit early on during the metal virus arc, is it worth catching up? Is there an order for the specials (or whatever the issues outside the main series are called) and mini-series or can i just skip them for now? >>26016 I kinda like the idea of making Knuckles a mentor type of character to someone else or even to a group of people (apparently they tried to do something like that in the tv show but i refuse to watch that), it just seems pointless if they're going to keep going with the "Classic and Modern are separate" autism since it's not like they're going to be able to do much with it that way, it also feels like a weird concept to retroactively introduce before Adventure, i think it would work better with a more "adult" Knuckles that is much more aware of his tribe's history, and in general just more experienced so he can actually teach shit. >>40034 I see Sonic as being like Goku in this case, he's generally averse to killing (which is not the same as a full on "no kill rule" like the idw comic seems to think) unless the situation fully requires it, and he let's Eggman go for basically the same reason Goku forgave a lot of his enemies: He simply had fun fighting them and wants to do it again, with maybe a bit of hope that they will also become good in the future (talking purely about the original manga here btw). That said Sonic doesn't seem to care about Eggman's safety at all since he has no problem letting him trapped in exploding mechs/bases and really the guy only seems to survive due to cartoon logic, so maybe i'm wrong and he does want the eggfuck dead, or i'm just overthinking this shit. >Gamma Amy seems to be the only one who has some sympathy for robots while the rest don't really seem to give a shit unless it's a more clearly "good" one like Omega, they don't really see them as "people" i guess, it's not something that has ever been explored much anyway and Gamma's story is ambiguous about whether the source of his personality was or not the flicky anyway, i like to think it wasn't, or maybe it's a bit of both.

>>40090 >I stopped reading this shit early on during the metal virus arc, is it worth catching up? I think the comics are nothing to write home about, but there's not much else to do Sonic wise and it's fun to shitpost about them. The metal virus arc was boring as shit to me and it was so long, but it gets a bit better eventually I guess. Every single issue is posted on the threads I think so it should be pretty easy if you want to catch up. >Is there an order for the specials (or whatever the issues outside the main series are called) and mini-series or can i just skip them for now? I think some are isolated stories but others do have an order. The recent major events in the last issue used some key details that were introduced in a mini series 3 years ago and forgotten about since, lol.

>>39948 Yeah I wonder if this means that Crying "Quiet" the Wolf is going to get put on the same bus that Lanolin, Belle, and Gem seems like they've been put on.

>>40225 next issue will have a 2 page foldout of whispers chocolate boobies

>>40226 You shouldn't tease a man with such things.

>>40232 >You shouldn't tease a man how about a woman would it be okay then

>>41403 That's all for today!

Sega needs to fire whatever bitch declared war on Rouge's boobs

>>41414 That would be Fowler and Sega kneels to him

>>41417 Jeff sez: never goon

>>41403 So who's this new villain suppose to be?

I keep forgetting to read this and now it's too late today.

>>41468 >can highjack eggmans robots >seems very theatrical based on costume >coffin indicates a death motif >keeping tabs on sonic, his friends and eggman >as well as surge and kit To me this screams Starline. It's been 3 years now since his "death" so maybe it's about time to bring him back into the story if he is in fact, still alive. While I was looking up info on Starline tho, I can see there is already a wiki page for the new guy. Lunar. Could very well be a brand new character, could also be a simple costume/tech to cover up the identity of Starline or another old villain.

>>41399 >Clutch the Opposum >Robbed Choa-Racing Legend nigger are you kidding me. I proofread my shitposts more than they proofread for their job. >>41400 Oh man, a hostile, isolated location that has been filled with a bunch of networked boss-looking ambushing Eggman robots is a terrifying thought. >>41401 It just dawned on me that Rouge was using her wings as a raincoat lol, that's genius. Man, I really dig all these branded gadgets and abilities and stuff. The interactions between Rouge and Espio are fun too. I really, really need to see Charmy being given some sort of really big and exaggerated weapon now, and him enjoying it a bit too much and getting slightly drunk with power. >>41402 >rouge teasing espio This issue is so good. They even explained the thing with the two flash drives. >>41403 >road to Sonic #100 Shit, this is going to be a year and a half arc?? It'd better be damn good. On almost all the monitors there are main characters, what are the bottom leftmost and rightmost monitors showing? >>41404 >quick, how do we fix the OC issues? <let's make more OCs! dammit >>41529 Looks like Spark with the funny hat on his head. >To me this screams Starline. It's been 3 years now since his "death" so maybe it's about time to bring him back into the story if he is in fact, still alive. Please no.

>>41538 So much for... >>26056 Am I right? Bet the Issue 100 special will be 90% OCs because the Sonic Cycle exists in comics, too. Different steps but the same ring around the redundant. See Issue 79 for what the future holds... Flynn and Co can no longer be assed to work and improve on the hand they're dealt so they opt for burning the whole poker table and replacing the deck with a shitty, similar deck. An abomination up close, but indifferent from afar or at a quick glance. Something something mandates and scapegoats

>>41529 >To me this screams Starline That was my assumption as well. I notice that who ever it is has two separate cameras on both Eggman and on Kit and Surge. >>41538 >On almost all the monitors there are main characters, what are the bottom leftmost and rightmost monitors showing? I was assuming that the right monitor was Lah's mansion.

>>41538 >Looks like Spark with the funny hat on his head. Feperd should sue.
