Next week in comic book stores everywhere, Archie Sonic comic #196 will be available. The issue will continue with the Hedgehog Havoc storyline in the road to what is promised to be a monumental Issue #200.

If you’ve forgotten, here’s Archie’s official take on it:

“Hedgehog Havoc, Part Two”: The “New Moebius” saga comes to an explosive end as hero and villain alike tremble at the power of Super Scourge! The fate of two worlds hangs by a thread, but what can Sonic do against his invincible evil twin? You can’t miss this epic climax to the biggest Sonic story of the year!

Well at least he didn’t turn purple or somethi-
-oh. …yikes.

Shaddup Nomad. Purple ftw

Scourge likes porridge and lentils.

Scourge is yet another Sonic ripoff character. One of many Sonics, but not the real one. I bet he still ives in his mom’s basement. I bet he wears long underwear at night. I bet he’s still a virgin. What a pansy. His weakness disgusts me.

Someone make that hedgehog ‘tap out’. Please archie no more of the mobius/anti-mobius kibble. More Doctor Eggman blowing up stuff please.

It’s just- I mean, he looks SO much more like a fan character/ recolor now.. Akuma The Hedgehog anyone? Shade of red fur and you’re pretty much there. (For those unaware of who that is: http://www.mgcomics.com/AkumaTh/Cast/Akuma.html Yeah.)
I guess at the very least it’s not another shade of urine yellow but… Eehh.
I dunno, something about this just doesn’t rub me the right way. I do however like the black and red eyes, but that’s about where it stops for me.
D’ah well, least the writings decent. :p

Okay- you know- looking back on the last page of 195, I’d say it’s the coloring here. Very flat and bland. Herms could have pulled that off a lot better. Black aurora around him…. something that would make him look more- well, super.
