Well in that case I got nothing to worry about. 

I think the very worst thing that might happen could be intoducing stuff that wasn't seen originally in the current games timeline. Like Splash Hill neighboring emerald hill? They like to throw stuff like that in, like in their Godzilla run, his first opponent was that fuck awful 1998 monstrosity and the called him "Zilla"

That's not what I'm saying as far as baggage goes, though. I'm saying the people who want the characters to be included are going to have certain expectations for them, and that's extra weight that IDW doesn't need when they're trying to establish their version of the series, especially since the Archie wound will still be fresh. They're going to have their hands full already managing the core Sonic cast and establishing the setting properly.

To be fair to you people that wanted Shadow to be in Boom were indeed sorely dissapointed that he was so different. And worse that he was there only for like, a few minutes in the games and one episode in the show. So you are kinda right in that people that want X character to appear will be very dissapointed if they are not up to their expectations.

But I really doubt IDW would mess up the FF's the way Boom messed up Shadow which lead to fan dissapoinment.

Alright let's see where this goes.

I'm honestly happy Sonic's on the rebound so soon after the Archie comics were confirmed to be canceled. Hopefully, some, if not all, of the creative team comes back, and we see some cool crossovers.

As for the FF dilemma, they might return, and they might not. I'd still read either way.

This seems to be the approach Boom is also taking.

You seem to have that mistaken with characters you yourself don't like. Ugh,  really,  another attempt to potshot Boom?

They're getting really lazy, man.

I can't wait to not read The Amazing Sonic-Man

Speaking of Boom. You think they could bring that comic back on IDW? I liked it. It was just like the show but a little more adventorous.

Depends on two elements, if the main series is successful enough to warrant spinoffs, and if Boom is still running.

Surprisingly though, Universe is highly likely to keep going, especially considering recently, IDW took an idea from Sonic and gave TMNT a comic named TMNT Universe focusing on the other characters.

Alright, my little bathroom break of delusional positivity is over.

SEGA's making this a games-only mandate, so we can expect the end of the entire current cast and continuity, and even most of the game characters who aren't Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Eggman will be reduced to background roles and cameos at best.

sigh Maybe its about time I got back into Digimon.

I just don't see the comic working without Ian and most of the old art crew in charge. it was a perfect team, SEGA has to realize that by now. I just hope they don't think picking up tyson hesse will be good enough, Mega Drive and its sequel worked because it had good art and good storytelling.

Also I'm see that allot of the arguments here characters or otherwise stem from people who haven't read the comics post reboot or just heard things from the penders era and thought they were still happening. to those people I implore you to read the Post reboot stuff at the very least, takes a few hours and it gives you a real good idea what they were doing with this comic before its tragic end.

If you're going to continue arguing about this at least know what your arguing about. pre-reboot era comic /= post-reboot era comic at all.

Same here. Though I have a gut feeling that the Freedom Fighters might be done for. It sucks because the Archie sonic characters are staples of my childhood just as much as the game ones are. But if this is how things play out then it is what it is.

I think you made that perfectly clear with your disgusting Julie-Su redesign and character assassination.

Says who? yeah I get his end with his shit but does he now monopolize every aspect of Archie Sonic pre-2005 now?

Penders' over-inflated ego makes him think he's the only pre-2005 creator of worth.

I seriously hope not. The fact that Archie's run is pretty much over with out an ending but Boom somehow gets to live on despite how SEGA pretty much refuses to acknowledge the show's existence yeah I'd be annoyed

Can't wait for this comic to keep going and how he somehow tries to make this about him as always while he still isn't making any progress on his passion projects because reasons.

I'm still positive game characters will still get more spotlight than usual.

Somewhere, the person who runs Archie's social accounts is thanking God that he's going to be constantly annoying and mentioning IDW now.

wow this guy is a real piece of work is He? I wasn't gonna post anything about him but penders has a sickening ego.

Hmmm, so the only characters and concepts they can use are ones that were introduced from 2005 and onwar--

Everyone...it's time for the rightful main character to take her place.

Seriously though, what is he even talking about?

Which is all the more reason why seeing the Lara Su Chronicles crash and burn is going to give us a fuck load of catharsis.
