Ratcicle King 5,558 Posted July 21, 2017 Well that was quick, but I guess after six months of just fucking us over, it's welcomed. 1 Alienrun reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enderwoman 1,364 Posted July 21, 2017 with how fast that was it makes you wonder what the point even was 1 Darinian reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
. . 1,517 Posted July 21, 2017 Damn this came out faster than I expected. I guess IDW has more licensing money anyway. Wait a minute.. don't tell me they canned Duck Avenger for this. >:U Well I'm still glad anyway, since they seem to be the most responsible and respectful when it comes to handling licensed properties. Also this probably means Ian can get on the writing again since he wrote some TMNT Nickelodeon comics for IDW. Yeah this is actually pretty good news. Yay! 1 Alienrun reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dee Dude 8,910 Posted July 21, 2017 What a freaking relief... All we hope now that is the crew moves on board and continue where they left off. @Dejimon11 GET OUT! 1 BlueSky reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Vest Friend 14,752 Posted July 21, 2017 That's the thing, though. It's very unlikely to continue things where they left off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedi 316 Posted July 21, 2017 Hell yeah! This actually made my day. So glad they gave the license to a competent publisher, and hopefully the OG staff can come back to start where they left off as well. We might even be able to get cool crossovers with series like TMNT and Transformers. 1 Alienrun reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PC the Hedgehog 2,794 Posted July 21, 2017 Called it called it called it! Kinda wish they'd simply revealed that IDW was taking over comic rights for Sonic instead of making the fandom sad with their little cancelation message the other day. 1 BlueSky reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Vest Friend 14,752 Posted July 21, 2017 Yep, it's a new series. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forte-Metallix 14,016 Posted July 21, 2017 So now Sonic can work with a publisher that actually cares about its properties (From what I've heard) and also publishes My Little Pony, TMNT, and Ghostbusters?! ... I guess every cloud does have a silver lining. 15 Sky The Destroyer, Chavysonicfan, Ayliffe and 12 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heckboy 3,069 Posted July 21, 2017 This is certainly interesting. Expected it to happen, though. I'm curious to see more. While I would definitely like to see some of the old crew carried over, I really do hope they bring some new talent on board for this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PC the Hedgehog 2,794 Posted July 21, 2017 "We've been speaking with beloved fan favorite creators and new creators alike." Oh yeah, this sounds VERY promising! Seems like IDW knows what the fans want. I'd say we have a decent chance of seeing the Archie crew migrate over to this new book. 15 MightyRay, Ellipsis-Ultima, DaddlerTheDalek and 12 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would bet IDW will want to do their own thing like they have for TMNT & Transformers. But this does signifigantly improve the odds of the FF and forgotten game characters like Mighty/Ray/Nack/Honey still being used in some capacity as IDW actually respects the Legacy/Histories of the franchises it makes comics for! And they could still continue the old canon in a seperate book down the line like they did with Transformers ReGeneration one for the Marvel TF comics after they have established theirs. Edit: Them talking to "established favorites" and saying "Sonic & his friends". Gives me so much hope! Please let dreams come true in 2018 IDW!! 6 DaddlerTheDalek, MainJP, Chavysonicfan and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baconjack 117 Posted July 21, 2017 I'm pleased about the publisher (The TMNT comics are great), but I wonder if the SatAM characters that were in Archie will be carried over into these new series. That's what I liked about Archie in the 1st place, because it felt like a continuation of SatAM well after the cartoons ended. 4 BlueSky, SonicComicFanboy, MainJP and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antyep 313 Posted July 21, 2017 I don't care if they continue the old comics or not, just as long as they use the SatAM crew and the rest of the characters in any way 5 Lord-Dreamerz, Waveshocker Sigma, NikoS and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryannumber1gamer 38,415 Posted July 21, 2017 >It's likely a new series that's closer to the games. I mean, I like IDW, I love IDW TMNT, but not only taking an entire world I've enjoyed for ten years, a cast of characters I grew to care about, and now putting down the risk that the stories are going to be as lackluster and shit as most recent games, they'll have to do a hell of a lot to make me care. I wonder how Penders is going to react to this, considering now he won't even have SEGA's connection to Archie to try justify selling reprints he has no rights to. 10 FFWF, Lord-Dreamerz, MightyRay and 7 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
