Archie Sonic Email Sent After All, States They’re “Working On The Situation”
We finally have official word from Archie, just moments after I posted an article that seemed to suggest the opposite (of course), at last. Unfortunately, it didn’t really give any new info other than we now know that all Sonic comic titles have been delayed. We were not told why this is the case and whether the comics would continue.
The reason no issues have been received is because there has been a delay on all Sonic titles. We are currently working on the situation and do apologize for this. Once we receive information we will notify all customers.

Well back to square one we go. Honestly I don’t care to much at this point, but I wish we could at least get the conclusion to Genesis of a Hero.
And Sonic Mega Drive: Overdrive 🙂
I think this has something to do with the games now, they been delayed therefore any cross promotion they may have had planned was not put on the back burner till its closer to release. Didn’t one issue that was coming have studiopolis in the back ground?
My theory is that they are trying to make a deal to get a character from the comics in the games.
*now
This is an optimistic theory I’ve had for a while now: what if all these Delays are because Sega finally accepted to let Ian Flynn write for a game (in this case, I’m obviously talking about Forces). When he was asked about it, he gave a vague “even if I was I wouldn’t be allowed to say”. (Which leads me to believe he is involved because otherwise he’d have no reason not to say “I’m not”.
Maybe the delay is not only because of I’m writing the game, but maybe also because he plans to tie in the comics to the events of Forces, causing them to delay the issues so he can rethink the route the story was going in such a way that it somehow connects to forces.
If they couldn’t get Ian to write the comics because he was writing the games, they wouldn’t have stopped the comics when they had issues already written, and then once they got to the point where he was spending all his time writing the game, they could just get Evan Stanley, Aleah Baker, Tracey Yardley! or literally anyone else to write issues for awhile.
Not to mention he said he can write multiple projects at a time no problem. Tho the tie-in cross-ad theories make sense I guess
The reason for him to say that if he isn’t involved because companies like Sega get mad about things like that either way which is why people are like are trained to give nonanswers, Ian has his fingers crossed about working with Sega so he’s not going to say anything that would irk them. Answers would have put in a replacement to fill in for him rather than piss off their subscriber base.
