Oh gently caress yes.

I wonder what this means for the Archie Sonic comics on Comixology. I've been considering on slowly buying them. Dunno now.

Not if your brain imagined Roberts writing Sonic, then I would be ultra-sad.

I would love to see the TAAO team on Sonic though, even though I know that's not an option.

They should just hire Ian. He worked for them already.

Is there any thing more essential to the sonic fan experience than this, I would ask.

Penders will now proceed to pursue litigation against everyone working in comics, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and Morgan Freeman himself just to make sure.

Good work or Milne work? Because if it's the former they probably plan to, given his tweet.

Uhhhh. I don't know what Milne work is.

But he did stuff for the TMNT cartoon tie-in comic.

That was fast. Hey, gotta go fast!

It would seem that part of the reason why everyone was in the dark regarding Sonic comics was probably because Sega was in talks with IDW behind the scenes for quite some while now.

I am just going to hope that IDW just continues the series as it was with Ian at the helm.

Hopefully they keep the old comic only characters. I hated them all as a kid but now I think making Sonic a part of a revolutionary group was actually a pretty cool idea.

The official Sonic tweet specifies that they've been speaking with previous popular creators so we'll see.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
We are pleased to announce that Sonic will be under the stewardship of one of the oldest Hands in the business.

Penders isn't ever gonna happen and them picking up some weirdo like Christian Chandler isn't either despite the meme that everyone in the fandom is like him, so yeah, Pontac and Graff are my least favorite options out of what's actually realistic.

I have to agree, at least assuming he can draw Anthros decently enough, he'd definitely be able to do Eggman's robots justice

It's great because IDW is basically a prestige fan fiction company and now they have the license which is essentially The Godfather and divine idiot king of all fan fiction, ready to mingle monster their giant stable of IPs.

Probably won't cross-over with any Hasbro properties as good as the adventures of mindwiped Jace and Sonic in dinosaur pirate land would be.

Maybe IDW can obtain the Bubsy rights, though, for the comic we all want.
