R.I.P to the long running Sonic Archie Comics...

If anyone from Archie sees this, they would probably begin to regret cancelling the comic

I just wanted to ask; what's the story behind this and archie pulling the plug? I haven't been following in the background in the community for a while and barely found out about the Archie/Sega split about 2 weeks ago.

IDW now has the Sonic comic book licence, first issue of the relaunch is due in April 2018.

Burridgefox Featured By Owner Jun 30, 2017 Student Filmographer

Ian Flynn said last week on his twitter that it isn't cancelled.

Darkwings45 Featured By Owner Jun 30, 2017

Oh halelula it isn't gone for good! ;w; Thanks so much, friend! Did he also say when it's coming back again or no?

Burridgefox Featured By Owner Jul 1, 2017 Student Filmographer

Well he said that there should be an announcement at the end of this month, its on hiatus along with megaman and Jughead. But I hope stuff is sorted out because this comic needs to continue ^^

I'm so thankful there are people like you that care enough to do a comic because the news about Archie canceling all Sonic comics while not surprising to me is still disappointing because I came to like the unique characters and their designs as well as the various Mobian groups and their different cultures.

DragonballOmega Featured By Owner Jun 30, 2017 Hobbyist General Artist

I just want everything back to pre-second genesis wave, where mecha sally was still present, or even before the first genesis wave.

AgentJeiceMIB24 Featured By Owner Jul 1, 2017

That's Impossible. You , Me and Every Sonic Fan In The World Knows That Ken Penders Won't Allow It.

DragonballOmega Featured By Owner Jul 3, 2017 Hobbyist General Artist

Wait what

Burridgefox Featured By Owner Edited Jun 30, 2017 Student Filmographer

I agree, it did the same for me too, I have found out that Ian Flynn said last week that the comic isn't cancelled though.

CaptainNinjaPants Featured By Owner Jun 30, 2017 Hobbyist General Artist

It isn't? So was it another hoax or something to get people riled up?

Burridgefox Featured By Owner Jun 30, 2017 Student Filmographer

Not sure, I found an update on it though, sega and Archie are still in talks but the comics, sonic mega drive 3 anyway are in the works but obviously won't be out until archie and sega sort things out. Which I hope they do.
