I need to get back into StH. Lost steam for it when Megaman got the axe cuz Archie shat the financial bed (the Sonic The Fighters arc iirc)

That Archie reboot needed to be a lot more than it was to step out of that shadow.

Yeah, sorry. That was uncalled for.

Man, that arc was really fun though.

All it was missing was an appearance from unquestionably the best thing from the Sonic X comic (which because Universe if I'm remembering my comics history right) : El Gran Gordo.

They canonised AoSTH (beyond Scratch Grounder and Coconuts) of all things and have made several Jojo's Bizarre Adventure references.

Welcome to this crazy Time.

I mean, Breezie isn't a robot and Von Schlemmer is from the future.

The latter I'll give you but I thought they made a thing about the former was ambiguous.

I mind Roter not having a fun time of it ether side of the reboot. Wasn't one of Pender's boners trying to make him gay over Sega's helmet or something?

Discussion for the Mega Man book is more suited to the general Archie comic thread.

And there's a fair bit of characters he hasn't used at least, particularly from AOSTH. There's also a fair bit from SEGA he can't use, like Eggman Nega, Metal Sonic 3.0, and Tiara Boobowski.

I think the underground characters are off limits too if that whole mess with universe #50 is anything to go by

I went back to read after the restart and I forgot just how much of a fun maniac Omega is.

Eggman has the stupid drill tank from Sonic 2. :allears:

It's just as effective, too!

That said, woof at Eggman's method of keeping his Generals in line. It's hilarious how much Flynn and Co. get away with as far painting the good doc as a complete s.o.b. is concerned sometimes.

So if you ever wanted to dive into Sonic The Hedgehog, Humble Bundle has you covered with not only a fairly neat Sonic Game Bundle ($10 gets you practically, if not every, sonic game released on Steam) but a nuts Sonic Comic bundle ($15 nets you, I think, just about every complete New 252 story line (Both Main Line and Universe (Minus Worlds Colide/Unite), Genesis, Game adaptions, and the first four issues of Sonic Boom, totalling just shy of $300 worth of comics).

I could think of worse ways to spend $25.

How much do you think a person with fond nostalgia for SatAM and an enjoyment of all-ages books would like this bundle, and is it definitely a good jumping on point? Any reading order issues?

I'd say go for it. The slate was more or less wiped clean with #252.

Basically you can start from #252 and Universe: Treasure Team Tango without any problems. If this bundle has everything bar the crossover stuff then it will have all the info on where the SatAM characters sit in the new continuity that Archie's released.

The only issues that sit outside of the New 252 continuity (from what I saw and recall) are the Genesis arc (225 - 229) which was a four issue arc retelling Sonic 1&2 with the SatAM cast in it to celebrate the comic milestone and Sonic's 20th (and some set up for the abandoned Metal Sally arc) and the really good Trouble in Paradise arc (Universe 14-18) that adapts Tails' Adventure.

Oh and Sonic Boom is it's own thing and doesn't interact with the main storyline at all. You get like three quarters of that too as Archie's pulled the plug on it with issue 11 alongside Megaman.

Yes but it really rankeled Sega to no end.

Apprently put Sega's relationship with Archie on a perpetual knife edge.

Didn’t they stop existing as of the SGW?
