Update on the Ken Penders case.

Source: http://www.tssznews..../#comment-96538

Well it it was easy to get him worked up it wouldn't be as large of an impact to the reader...in-fact if it were to happen easily then it would be uncharacteristic of him, but at this point it would be bad writing if Sonic didn't have a moment were he lost his cool.

I like when heroes have a moment of grief and rage...it makes them seem a lot more down to earth.

if that was to happen and was the case, they would need to inform people like Ian Flynn and anyone else working on both comics, that the overall (Comic) series was ending, thus this would allow them to wrap up the current story arcs faster and sooner then they planned on, this way they don't pull a (SatAM & Underground & X) cliffhanger in the books.

This is why I agree that the partnership wouldn't end so soon. Besides as many have pointed, the comic's are one of Archie's and Sega biggest money makers. So why would they end the partnership because of Bull**** like this one involving Penders. I just don't see that. Do you?

1. People on the SEGA forums already said this, but comics are FAR from being one of SEGA's biggest money makers (Archie, maybe, but they're irrelevant since they don't call the licensing shots).

2. No they don't. Often these sorts of things occur over the period of 2-3 months, with staff being a lesser priority for warning (so, the editor would be the first to know, but only after the nix has already been done higher up). A lot of comics cut out in the middle of stories if they get axed.

3. Erm...what did that have to do with what Voy-Boy was saying, anyway?

Thank you for translating what he said in English.

I didn't reply because I didn't get all with what he was saying....

So, are Snively and Hope half-siblings or full siblings?

Sonic Comic Theories

Mobius years later. What can be said about this topic. Many have felt that it is part of the Sonic comic books continuity. Well others say that it's not canon. Now both sides may be correct in some ways. For those that say that MXYL is part of the comic book continuity, they have valid points. As a matter of fact one fan over at a certain popular media site recently as of tonight did a 8 1/2 long minute theory on why they feel MXYL is part of the continuity in some ways. One of the things they bring up is the resurgence wars and the elemental wars that were discussed and talked about and briefly mentioned it if you will by Antoine and Bunnie's son Jaques in the last two to issues of the MXYL saga that was presented in the Sonic Universe comic.

You may ask yourself why this fan brought this theory up? Well from what they can see in the more recent events of the main comic and the SU comic, they feel there could be some truth behind it. The reason they think and theorize this belief, is because of what will be happening in future issues. One of the things they brought up was the Ancient Onyk aka the black chaos Emerald, for which Tikal and Chaos resided in. They feel that with this theory that this could be the beginning of the aforementioned wars that were briefly mentioned in the MXYL Saga. Which in turn they feel, from what I read, they feel could bring Tikal and Chaos together as Tikahos. Now I remind you that these are just theories that this fan over at this media site is thinking of, and feel could be closer to the truth and closer in connection to the MXYL then anyone could have thought.

I understand and I'm sure this fan understands that nobody will believe these theories. However there might be one theory or maybe two that they may agree on. What might those be you ask? Well the first one has to do with Snively and the missing blue chaos Emerald. For you see this fan feels that there is a connection between Snively and the missing Emerald. Because they believe that Snively has the missing Emerald. You may ask why that might be the case? According to this fan, Snively was the first one to report the Emerald missing, and most recently as of issue 234 and issue 37, has finally decided to take matters into his own hands and finally overthrow Dr. Eggman, as well as at the same time free his beloved Queen Regina. Now to me as somebody that read this theory, I have to agree with it. Because even though I have yet to open any of my subscription issues, from the summaries I have read and from the theories and predictions that I have watched and read, that have been provided by other fellow Sonic fans. When you piece these pieces of this very puzzle together, it all makes sense.

Now the final theory is actually a theory I talk about myself in a two-part audiovideo, but it seems that I'm not the only one. For you see just like those that have written about it and have talked about it, this theory has to do with one Hershey the Cat. Now of course many have speculated possibly the same theories and thoughts as this fellow fan has. And that being of course after 233 and even before that, that Ms. Hershey is alive and well and undercover as part of the Mobius South American Dark Legion. Now for those that ask why people may speculate this. It's because when you look at one of the upper panels in the mid pages of issue 37 you will see a female legionnaire being confronted by one of the grandmasters. And then you add in the description for issue 237 in a few months that a mysterious figure is tracking Sonic, Tails, and Amy, one can guess and wonder as to who that could truly be that is following them.

Now please understand that these are just theories that this fellow fan and friend of mine came up with tonight.

Now I did not mention all of what they said, you will have to read it yourself. But let's just say it has some to do with the 3 spirits that have awakened inside Ixis Nagus, as for the rest you have to read yourself.


Good night

Oooooooooh i love it when Eggman is being a total badass. He still knows how to cause havoc when he needs to.

And oh hey there Metal Sonic and Sally. Seems even Eggman approves of them as a couple even in Metal form.

Eggman has AT-ATs?!

[Dantemustdie00]

Egg Camels actually, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were called EGG-AT's or something Staw Wars like.

Anywho, cool potential Boss Mech design for a game through, like a desert stage (or a Ice Planet that starts with a H and rhyms with goth).

And then a completely new city was built right after that event so again, as Mark stated, nothing of consequence ever sticks.

True they got a new "better" city right away, however, if you look at the current plot and situation such a change was needed in order for the current events to take place. The entire reason that Ixis Naugus is king right now is because the city was rebuilt from nanites and was run by Nicole. After the Iron Queen took over the city using her magic the public no longer trusts their safety with Nicole and want her shut down. Since Naugus's powers can destroy nanites the publice feels he can protect them and, after destorying Titian Metal Sonic, they have good reason too.
That all seems pretty consequential. True, Nicole could save the day in a future issue and everyone would love her again and forget the whole Iron Dominion mishap but I sorta doubt that's going to happen anytime soon (and if it does it'll likely result in Nicole sacrificing herself). Also there's now the whole Ixis Naugus factor to throw in. Even if Nicole is forgiven the damage is still done: Naugus is still king and it's likely going to take the "secret" freedom fighters to put an end to his rule.

In response to bwrosas and the theorie's around the stolen blue Emerald I think perhaps Eggman Nega took it. Go back to SU 21 Treasure Team Tango. At the very begining we see Nega is running from the zone cops. Also, he stole a Sol Emerald but looses it. Now go to SU #32 Scourge: Lock-down and read the last page. Zonic states that "Nega has us spread thin." So, Nega is out there, somewhere. Now doesn't it seem likely that if he stole a Sol Emerald a Chaos Emerald might be just as appealing? Also there's the "Egg Jet" Snively steals in SU 37 Scrambled. Snively doesn't recognize it. Could it be it wasn't always there? Also he left the tracker on after swiping it. Why would he do that? It doesn't fit the plan he spilled out near the beginning of the issue, Even Eggman finds it odd and mentions is at the end. Could it be someone was hiding inside it and fled because they were discovered?

Also the fact that Snively spilled out his plan sorta gets me to think he didn't likely steal the Emerald. If he did he would've mentioned it right? Lien-da seems a more likely candidate but where would she hide it? Her quarters are located on the ship, there'd be no logical place to stash it.

There is one other high possibliy I see and that's Shadow, Rouge and Omega or Nack and his posse. After failing to get the Sol Emerald in Treasure Team Tango both teams seemed pretty down. So prehaps they picked themselves up and stole a Chaos Emerald for good measure. I think Rouge's team is the most likely since Omega is on the cover of issue 38. Honestly, why else would he suddenly be there? I guess he'd like his chance to take out Metal and Mecha Sally but really, to find them so soon?

Yes, but as one person pointed out to me, what if Sally has it, I mean when I thought about that, it makes you think, epseically since the last time she was robotized, her vest remained as it was in #29, yet in second time around, it's pulled together. I'm thinking maybe, just maybe, the emerald feel into the rubble with her, I mean why else wait to the very end to pop back out when you could have done so after being robotized. I think she knew the emerald got robotized with her and gave her free will and control of her robotic mind ala Uncle Chuck in some way, and is laying dominant till she feels is the right to strike and releve herself to Eggman. And that's adding to what my friend said over at DA.

'Unsung Heroes,' Part 1. The Secret Freedom Fighter arc begins here! Geoffrey St. John has been sent on a mysterious mission by the evil Ixis Naugus. It's up to Silver the Hedgehog's squad to find out what he's after - and to stop him! What is Naugus's sinister plot? Who are these Secret Freedom Fighters? The answers begin here!"

Okay so #238 carries on from #237. No joing covers, which is a shame, but nonetheless til looking like a good issue.

Now the more important issue of Sonic Universe #41. OMG OMG OMG! Secret Freedom Fighters revealed and it looks as if Harvey has chosen the time travelling hedgehog from the future that's trying to kill everyone thinking their a traitor! Excellent choice. I recognise the twins but not recognising the other 2/3 members (not sure if the robot counts yet). I'm really excited for these issues now!!!

[Soniman]

Hahaha what?
What the fuck Silver?
Oh whatever, Silver is a really likable character in the comics, so I'm fine with this.

And I just noticed that Silver is wearing his alternate costume from Rivals.

SU#41...oh God, I hate it already.

[Mega]

...Wait a minute, isn't that Metal Sonic from way back when? The same Metal Sonic who died in a volcano and all that jazz. :|a He looks uncannily similar.

[SweeCrue]

Hmm...

[Mega]

Hmmm. There are definitely similarities, even if the one on the cover has a much nicer design overall and, well, stripes on him too. :|a

[NovusToonami Ordo]

So the original Metal Sonic is back?! . . . So the new mystery is why, how, and does he still have that power gem that pretty much allowed him to defeat Sonic effortlessly?

[The future]

What is that Metal Sonic in SU #41?
