Archie Update: Email To Subscribers Still In The Works, No Timetable Given
Although an email was sent to a user with the “working on the situation” news, it wasn’t the email to subscribers that we thought would come out. But that is not to say that the subscriber email isn’t coming after all. We have learned that it still is. This time, however, we do not have a specific timetable.
Okay, so I went ahead and tried again today hoping to talk to Lisa; and I did. She’s much more personable than the other gentleman and remembered our previous conversation. She apologized for the email not getting sent out saying they had hoped to be ready by then but that it turned out they were still working on it, re-emphasizing that she thought it would be soon but not giving any exact timetable this time.
And with that, I’m not going to be calling again for a while. I was originally prompted to call because of STH 291’s cancellation and have only called the last two times because of the surprise answer I was given.

It’s really stupid now… No reasonable answer as to what’s going on. And frankly there’s no excuse for it. No damn reason why they can’t come forward with something. Stringing along the fans and I believe the one theory that they are refusing to give the refunds to everyone is what they are doing. I’m shocked by the whole thing. It’s one thing when Ken Penders was being a jerk. But when I see Archie doing the same kind of things that gets me even more pissed off… Corp greed is going to ruin this company’s image sooner or later….
This is a really hopeless way that both SEGA and Archie Comics are informing the fans – the consumers – about the situation.
Please we need more information and leaving the buyers in the dark who actually SUPPORT the products that they create is beyond belief. If they’d stick to their time schedule they wouldn’t have been in this mess.
Do you have to make a separate article every time there’s an update? Can you not just continually update a single article?
This. I can’t even tell which is the most recent article. Did they send the e-mail or didn’t they?
It’s not hard.

Go there. The Sonic articles will appear in order, from top to bottom, based on how recent they are. The higher up the page article is, the more recent it was published. As of this comment’s posting, this article is the most recent one, and is currently at the top of the list.
No, because people don’t get informed properly. Automatic tweets go out on social media when an article is posted, so people will know there’s an update. Simply changing an article can result in information being missed unintentionally, and people may not notice an article was updated if other articles have followed and the updated article is pushed back a page or two. Plus, some of these updates happen days later, so by then it becomes rather pointless to update an article that has been out for that long.
I hope the comic gets cancelled. Maybe then we’ll get a comic that’s Canon with the games instead of one that’s canon with an old cancelled television show.
Better yet, a comic written by Graff and Pontac. You can enjoy that.
Then play the games. Why do some of you want a Sonic comic that would much better if it were a game instead?
That’s what we’ve got — or had, whichever the case may be — up until a few months ago. Heck, it’s even canonized games that SEGA no longer considers a part of the canon.
Incidentally, neither pre- nor post-reboot were canon with the cartoon.
Ryborg, the games are barely canon with each other. Pontac wrote many modern Sonic games and NEVER PLAYED A SONIC GAME BEFORE!
Sonic Generations, Lost World, and.Sonic Colors would probably get you like 2 issues of story… each.
The comic would have to venture off into it’s own story and characters, ANYWAY.
If you don’t like the comic, say so. Not the nonsensical “not canon with the games” that have writers that never played previous Sonic games anyway.
Why would they need to play the games? There are youtube moives, wikis, and character bios available 24/7. There is no reason to be concerned with actually playing the games, and now that I think about a little more closely playing the games with this many resources around is super dumb. Like it feels really stupid to bring this up.
Matter of fact I remember the interview in which the writers said even they could piece together the continuity of this franchise even after watching and reading the old media.
Iizuka doesn’t give a flip about continuity if you’ve paid attention to his bizzare claims that all the games take place in diffident realities or worlds. If Ian wrote for the games he’d be really handicapped because ultimately he’d just be writing the dialogue for another lame Sonic Team story just like what happened with Pontac and Graff,

Get the word spread people, it’s over.
Oh man is this gonna be interesting it’s going to be absolute war against Archie, their shit show and it’s fans along with the anger against Fulop and more importantly Pender reaching a fever pitch. Archie’s stalling on this has recreated the PR nightmare they thought stalling would somehow avoided in the first place
