FFWF 4,577 Posted October 7, 2018 That's actually a very interesting premise. A real challenge for Sonic, almost taunting him with his own strength by preventing him from being anything other than fast, and pushing him to the brink of exhaustion.

Still a cool idea though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryannumber1gamer 42,127 Posted October 7, 2018 Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like robotization? I mean, Sonic slowly turning to metal could be taken as being turned into a robot, especially with the hints of the Tinkerer from the released covers, I wonder if he's gonna plant a device on him or something.

Sega DogTagz 3,760 Posted October 7, 2018 The real kicker is if this would be a scheme devised my metal Sonic to physically take over Sonic's body. He could really take his obsession to the next level by litterally becoming Sonic. 3 LongcrierCat, FFWF and DaddlerTheDalek reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Razule 2,649 Posted October 7, 2018 That reminds me of a novel (Sonic and the Tales of Deception) that came out recently, where Knuckles was infected by nanobots that were turning him into a robot and Sonic had to shrink to cure him or something.

Zulon Eredas 115 Posted October 7, 2018 This reminds me of Bunnie's Worst Nightmare in issue 37 of the Archie Comics. 2 DaddlerTheDalek and Big Panda reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowragnarok 1,378 Posted October 8, 2018 3 hours ago, SBR2 said: So anywho IDW had a kids Panel today and the plot of the next arc is that Sonic is infected by a device that is slowly turning him to metal everytime he runs. So that's pretty unique. So this is under the IDW kids branch, right? I wonder if they’ll be allowed to launch something more akin to their Godzilla and Ghostbusters comics for older audiences now?

Celestia 15,124 Posted October 8, 2018 2 hours ago, StaticMania said: Yeah... Which one? The one where Sonic got implanted with a chip that forced him to run constantly. I don't remember the episode very well so I'm not sure what the full explanation was but as I remember it, it wasn't that he couldn't stop or it'd explode or anything, he literally didn't have any control over himself.

Episode 24. Sonic gets in a fight with Eggman's robot of the episode, Lightning Bird, and a chip from inside it gets lodged in his ear. It activates and makes him go screwy so he can't stop running. It's not until he fights it again at the end of the episode that it gets dislodged and he's able to return to normal. As for the tidbit for the comic, eh. It doesn't sound like a bad idea for a stand alone story, but having that be an "arc" doesn't sound particularly interesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack-ted 2,246 Posted October 8, 2018 Yeah I don't see it being a full arc, it could get boring eventually... but then again, this isn't much info, obviously it's not what the arc is about, we need more information, it's too early to say, but it looks unique and interesting as an idea.

DabigRG 2,965 Posted October 8, 2018 I would've imagined it'd be a twoparter at best anyway, since we'd be coming off an arc pretty fresh already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marco9966 1,229 Posted October 10, 2018 Sneak peaks for year 2: " IDW announced at NYCC that Sonic The Hedgehog #13 will be an extra-length issue to bring readers up to speed leading into their second year of publishing. “Year two is going to be huge for Sonic,” says editor David Mariotte. “We are upping the stakes with more villains, more adventures, and a new threat that’ll loom over the whole 2019 calendar!” To start, Sonic takes a break after the momentous Battle of Angel Island. When Tails receives a mysterious tip that a friend has disappeared, he and Sonic race off into a brand-new adventure that’ll put them face-to-face and nose-to-nose with some old foes!

Jack-ted 2,246 Posted October 10, 2018 I'm excited for year 2! Even though this seems to contradict the previous teaser, I'm guessing they'll be shorter arcs with a threat that covers the whole story. Rough and Tumble seem like they've just been punished by their boss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
