Flynn Confirms Mighty and Ray Return to Archie Sonic Comics
There’s a small bit of news to pass along in the Archie Sonic universe, especially for those concerned a multitude of characters are gone forever in the wake of writer Ian Flynn’s latest reboot of the series.
While most of those characters, and in particular those concocted by Ken Penders, appear gone for good, Flynn on his Bumbleking forums today concrete stated two side characters are coming back:
Mighty and Ray will be back this year. Not saying when or where, tho’.
That certainly could mean the duo could have a non-speaking role in the series or otherwise be part of a brief cameo, but it can also go the other way as well. We will have to wait to see what develops later this year to know for sure.
Good to hear. I’m not 100% happy with the reboot because I thought it made all of the stuff in between STH#230-247 pointless.
I get where you’re coming from. It is going to be annoying if all of those Penders-characters got wiped out only to never have existed in this universe. I hope they have some kind of good and fair explanation for this universe. Come to think of it, where’s Knuckles been all this time?…
Like I always said, “Only time will tell who will come and who will not.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if Archie Comics decided to undo the reboot due to the fans’ anger over the lawsuit.
No. Just no. It’s annoying enough to have done a 4-issue reboot only to bring everything back to mostly the way it was, but to have a reboot to undo the second reboot? No, none for me, thanks! Let’s just work with this one and leave it at that, I’m actually curious for a more “SEGA-y” looking Archie Sonic, the only change I ask for is that we get all of those characters back in some shape or form. Just no more reboots…unless it’s 50 years later and I’ve forgotten about this one.
I don’t think so. But, as an alternative, maybe Sonic and pals could find another way to restore memories of the un-altered world, and use it on the whole planet. If King Acorn got his old memories back, then maybe he could check his forces to make sure there isn’t someone who’s like the traitor who’s name shall not be said due to a certain writer’s objections.
I need to know when we’re finally getting that new Sonic Underground adaptation.
I hope there’s still plans for that, otherwise this Shadow arc is looking to be the last arc for Sonic Universe.
I don’t think Shadow Fall is the last arc they always reveil a new arc just before the 4th part is released
I would safely put my bet that mighty and ray will return. I mean look at bean and bark they’re just as obscure and they’re still here.
I’m loving the reboot personally. All these nods to SA are bringing back memories…
i rememebr hearing scourge and fiona were going to be used in a story arc..ot sur eif thats true though…
i was also happy to read that if theirs enof demmand Honey will become part of the comics
I suppose that’s great for people who like Mighty and Ray I guess.
Mighty and Ray are cool but when are we gonna see Scourge again 🙁
First I read “Ray and Mighty confirmed to return”. My eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.
…Then I read the words “Flynn” and “Comic” right before feeling an emotional jab to my gut. 🙁
Good, now just get rid of Sally and give Blaze a real solo arc for once.
Don’t care.
Flynn can bring back all the characters he wants, but it doesn’t help one bit when he writes them all as the same flat type of character.
