Here’s A List Of The Current Statuses Of Upcoming Sonic Archie Issues

1. When do you expect Archie will send out an email?

   1. As I already said in the article, it should be this week.

   2. The Subscription department Customer Service person said they should be sent out by the end of April.

      The actual end of April occurs on a Sunday, but since it’s unlikely that Archie would be open to send out emails on the weekend, April 28th is likely the later boundary.

      Wednesday is also the weekly release day, so activity regarding issue updates is more likely to occur around this time most likely.

      So the window, if it goes according to plan, is Wednesday 26th – Friday 28th April.

      Of course, it could always end up being later if it doesn’t go to plan or Archie just decides to move it.

2. It’s a shame the Hard working people at Archie have their comics cancelled after they are completed. I was really looking forward to Sonic Mega Overdrive. I have missed collecting the Sonic comics recently. I really hope this mess gets sorted out soon and they can continue publishing Sonic comics for the fans once the SEGA and Archie legal stuff is sorted out. Its the least they can do for their fans.

3. If I were in charge, I’d have them get the main series to issue 300 and Universe to issue 100, and then be done.

4. I’m surprised that no one wants the book to continue after 300. (100 in Universe’s case)

   1. I’m sure they do. They just want Sonic to reach 300/100 first if he must go out.

      I was assuming you meant the fans’ comments. Unless you meant the people canceling them.

5. It may not be up to Archie, unfortunately. No matter how much they want to hit milestone issues, if their contract with Sega is up, and Sega says no to renewal, then Archie has exactly zero legal ability to proceed.

   Me, though, I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed. Sonic comics have been the one constant in my life, and I’d hate to see them disappear.

6. If this email doesn’t end with the comic continuing or continuing under IDW (will not accept disney/marvel) with the current plot/characters then everyone gets a middle finger from me except taxman/pagoda/headcannon. Forces can wait to be a bargain bin purchase.

7. This is a new level of ridiculous. I can’t even tell what they’re trying to do here.

   Kids, DO NOT buy Sonic comics. Archie Sonic is a mess and Fleetway Sonic isn’t worth reading.

   1. Fleetway doesn’t publish Sonic comics anymore.

   2. Fleetway Sonic comics have been dead for 15 years so that shouldn’t be problem.

   3. Fleetway Sonic is worth reading as it has the best take on that character available, Sonic is a total lovable asshole and not some generic joke slinging baby face or generic stoic anime protagonist. And since he’s similar to how Sonic was portrayed in the OVA I’d say this is how the character was originally intended to be.

      1. I don’t really see how Fleetway and OVA Sonic are similar to each other.
         Besides, last I check Fleetway was just an asshole pure and simple. But then again so was Archie’s Pre-Reboot, blech….

8. It’s good this fake Post SGW sonic world gets killed off. It’s a smack in the face of long-time readers such as myself that long for the Pre-SGW world that Ken Penders helped build, and then help destroy…

   1. Because obviously a Sonic that was a pure jackass like in the pre-Genesis Wave material and about five million recolor and horrible fan-fic level OCs in a painfully written story that half of the time barely even centered around Sonic is obviously exactly what Sonic is.
      Forget how the reboot was actually staying more true to the games themselves with characters that had actual designing talent put into them. (aside from those bland crossovers and the crap that is Pirate Plunder Panic)

9. I want the comics to go on past 300/100 but i also want them to at lest reach 300/100

   1. I’m not alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10. I’m gonna say that either tomorrow or Friday, we’ll get an email from Archie about the future of Sonic. I got one from them today, but it was just a 35% off graphic novels thing…………….. I’ll make a screenshot when I get the email and upload it, then I’ll put a link to it here.

11. Perhaps Sega raised the price of their licensing fee, and thus Archie is having trouble meeting their quota?
