Again, didn't Ian say off the top of his head he considered Shadow a main figure with the classic 4 when writing the comic as a whole, yet once more he's not present in marketing covers with characters that won't play a big part of the next story arc(Amy and Knuckles).

Or is this artist just hate Shadow and only uses him because he's ordered to by mandates/the writer?

There's only so much vertical room in the background, lol. If Shadow had been included he'd be even more obscured than Metal is and if that was the case, to be frank, you'd be complaining about that instead.

most likely Shadow wont have a huge role, in the issue, not every issue needs the main 4

Well thats obvious. The main 4 is not in every issue but somehow their in almost half the covers, together or seperately placed.

Because Shadow isn't important to this issue/mini-arc?

Because they're the main four and there's only 4 character spaces on that one?

Also, unless I haven't read a solicit, Knuckles and Metal aren't in this arc yet, but were significant figures in the greater scheme of the comic thus far.

So uh, is anyone else thinking the cover is inspired by this one?

latest?cb=20121221201631

It's a neat cover either way, but I immediately thought of this issue when I saw it.

That's what I thought as well.

I thought that the moment I saw it. Kind of a weird homage since that was one to Marvel vs Capcom I believe.

Probably just coincedence. Archie Sonic had several covers like this over the years.

And man, as far as the other cover goes, Kieran Gates has both the classic AND modern Sonic styles down cold. Dude could be the next Spaz.

Thank God I was seriously starting to think I was the only one digging his art.

I usually see comments about how bland it is and stuff but I don't know I enjoy the majority of his covers. They aren't the most ambitious or anything but it's still some real high quality stuff.

Those character select covers make me want a sonic fighting game

Sega should make one of those

I would buy it

I hope it's more like Sonic the Fighters than Sonic Battle, but that's an entirely different topic.

I'm interested in how Eggman regains his memories and personality, likely at the end of the issue. Also intriguing is that Rough and Tumble want to be weaponized? Roboticization could be back like Tails in Lost World? In a SEGA style?

Dr. Starling can open portals in addition to being an egg laying mammal. ...Just saying.

Jokes aside I'm really digging how this looks. I'm kinda glad they aren't immediately restoring Eggman and that there seems to be some trial and error to it. Plus I got a laugh out of Orbot and Cubot's reactions to the Mr. Tinker persona.

Metal is gonna be in for some surprise.

Yes I am also really enjoying Dr Starline here, honestly wish it was just Rough and Tumblr, and Starline here. Not the comic books fault,I just  never liked Orbot and Cubot and they do seem kind of forced into the scene.

Huh. Wonder how he found them?

Also, "Gentlemen! And I use the term loosely."
