This post was originally written by the author for TSSZ News, it was expanded in 2020 by LMC..
I thought it was Natalie F. who also did Sonic cover #2 besides Adam Bryce with his own variant.
Also: No word on the Freedom Fighters fate, but tomorrow we see the revealing of the character who Sonic is holding a hand or tail with.
If the Freedom Fighters won’t show up ever again… will you try to get used to it or maybe start a riot?
Maybe they could come back.. but it’s up to Sega though.
Wouldn’t surprise me if people just start making whining rant blogs, vids, tweets, etc.
No one has even been throwing a fit at the IDW comics so far. In fact, more people have been complaining about complainers than there have been complainers doing any complaining. And this is coming from someone who usually sees the opposite of this.
Can we focus on the comics news for once, instead of getting irritated at people who want to see the return of some characters?
Actually SSF1991,
I’m not irritated… just telling you what I’ve seen and predict would happen if these characters do not return.
I understand the concerns, and I feel their pain. But we cant act immature when things happen that we don’t like.
An example of this is the Mecha Sally saga.
When Sally was roboticized in Archie Sonic #230, Sally fans were so angry that they vowed to not read the comics until Sally was de-roboticized.
See for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feEexBgMcPk
Besides, this argument may be irrelevant later. Just because Sally and co. may not be in issues 1-4, this doesn’t necessarily eliminate the possibility of appearing in future issues.
Hope this addresses this issue.
Look at the cover image by Adam Bryce Thomas: the character from the earlier image is that lamb or goat creature.
Wait, is that an echidna on cover B? I’m pretty sure Ken Penders will sue, again.
Looks like a male and female Echidna on the ground and a pink goat or sheep girl.
