Can you provide a picture of the character?

[Your Vest Friend]

The Dark Mobius Saga has already been collected into a graphic novel so you could look up that avenue if you wanted to finish it off. I think it's Sonic Universe Volume 7.

Nephthy's is a bird

Called it!

So did I. And everyone who looked it up on Wikipedia. *shrug*

[Arranos]

So, is she the shadow in the background on Eggman's Dozen Part 2's main cover?

[Echidna Adventurer CC14]

Someone mention Nephthys?

[Dantemustdie00]

Damn, that's a evil looking character right their, almost reminds me of ol' Fini.

[Dee Dude]

Uh... Is she really an actual vulture? Because the way I see it, It looks like a mask.

[CrownSlayers Shadow]

Oh good, so everyone who looked it up can be right!

Love her design. Really menacing for a female character, if not the fiercest looking design for a female Sonic character.

[Arranos]

Dang! She looks fierce!

All we need now is to know more about her.

[KoDaiko]

I always thought vultures had puffs on their neck, so its very odd to see it on her head. Reminds me of that one eagle pokemon. I also expected her neck to be a tiny bit longer, but that's a silly wish. 

Is it just me, or her head shape is similar to the Great Battle Kukku? Maybe a relative? Just glad her head isn't another giant circle.

[Arranos]

Is Nephthys look like the yellow shadow in the background on Universe Issue 82?

Can't really tell myself...

[shdowhunt60]

So, the OC's are decently likeable in my opinion. There's something for you Penders, characters with enjoyable personalities. How about that.

[Arranos]

They're interesting. Can't wait to see more characters like them later on.

I read the issue, it was okay. Now to wait for next month's issue. And Silver Age Part 4.

• Cassia had eye and ear problems before cyber-upgrades.
• Clove doesn't want her people to get hurt.

That's all I picked up. Too tired to go on from this point on.

She's an "Egyptian Vulture" specifically ^.^

I actually saw a couple of them at a zoo when I was in France this year.  A really striking bird, but sadly endangered.

[Shaddy Zaphod]

So that issue was pretty neat. I like how upfront they are about Spike's team being total ripoffs of Sonic's. The dynamic between Clove and Bunnie over how they obtained their cybernetics was great, too.

Off-topic, is Antoine's sword an heirloom or anything? Because how fuckin cool would it be for HIM to get Caliburn? Think about it.

[Forte-Metallix]

Apparently so:

 

And yes, Antoine should totally have been the star of Black Knight (assuming it happened in this continuity)

Well, guess that explains why the face looked like a mask. Anyway, cool design! I'm interested to see Nephthys is capable of in the next issue. I wonder what a more traditionally designed vulture character would look like.

[Arranos]

Forgot to mention: Purple Fish Girl appeared as well. Does that make 2 appearances?

Edited November 19, 2015 by Arranos

[Ellipsis-Ultima]

A Cookie to those who got Nepethys' species right. And that is one menacing design. (For a minute I thought she was holding a long sword.)

Someone mention Nephthys?

Wait, that design looks famili-OH

Well that explains the mystery character. Also, concepts of the Shamar Freedom Fighters!

Also, Trevor is blind?

[Arranos]

Me: I noticed Purple Fish Girl in #278. Everyone assumes she's the Princess of Meropis. If she is, when would the reveal happen?

Ian Flynn: After "Shattered World Saga" concludes.

Source: Twitter

At least we know when she'll be formally introduced!

[CrownSlayers Shadow]

Princess of Meropis an Egg Boss?!

Now that'll be something to see!

[Arranos]

How did you get to that conclusion? Or is that sarcasm?

I'm not that good at picking up sarcasm, if that was...

[Ellipsis-Ultima]

Well shiz!

Bunnie really fell for that one didn't she? Also, Cassia's Troll face XD
