It's perfectly appropriate. Ian Flynn's stuff is always accessible and never gets heavier than a saturday morning cartoon.

I don't think there's any danger of it going past where, to pull a name, Gravity Falls went if Flynn's work on Megaman is any yard stick.

So issue 2 dropped and yep, that is pretty decent Sonic/Amy banter.

I get the impression Eggman isn't even there and that this is all leading up to an Inspector Gadget gag in the next issue or something

Also the bit where Knuckles, completly missing how stupid it all is, is like "Watch out, Sonic! They're co-ordinated!"

#5 dropped.

If they're doing what I think they're doing with this whole Eggman has amnesia thing (IE: Mr Tinker isn't an act but his actual personality is showing though, like how he mentioned Eggman Land and how he was acting in #4, and Shadow/Rouge and Sonic coming to blows will cause Eggman to "Snap" then that's some drat handy work by our boys, I'll say that much.

I’m honestly thinking it could go ether way but will probably be rendered moot by Sonic and Shadow coming to blows.

That said, I’m now sort of convinced “Doctor Claw” is not Eggman in any capacity due to his whole comment about wondering if that trope of Badniks simply found that settlement or if they’re on to him and have come to save Eggman

Honestly, this comes off as an easier time of it given he has a lot less legal (also, insanity) to be bothered by.

So, Issue 6; Good fight between Sonic and Shadow with some nice stuff there, the reveal is interesting and I'm interested to see where Flynn's taking this.

All in' all good stuff.

#7 is out and basically with it the first full arc of IDW Sonic comes to a close.

It confirms that (big spoilers) Eggman is Mr. Tinker and the Eggman we've seen on the airship fleet is actually Metal (In his Neo Metal incarnation, which is neat). and the blow out fight was pretty drat good all said.

There is a lot of bitching about it online though (compounded by some scuttlebut from SDCC about how they're not allowed to bring classic sonic chracters, I think?) though most of it is the same tired 'THIS ISN'T DIFFERENT, BRING BACK THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS" nonsense that has sort of bounced off me at this point.

Honestly I don't care, if it happens, great if not :shrug:.

The whole fracas sounds a lot of misspent energy getting angry that Megadrive's still not, and will never be, complete.

Oh wait, Base Metal counts a classic character?
Huh, that explains that then.

On a more positive note, is it just me or did the art get a kick up the pants for this issue?

Keeping in mind that he was basically in charge of putting out the eternal tire fire that was Penders’, leavings one screwup like that was probably inevitable.

Starline is either going to go out and become his own villain, or stay with Eggman and essentially become his new Snively.

Given how he’s presenting his ‘contingency plan’ to Eggman this Issue, I’d argue the former.

Speaking of which, woof is this one’s heavy. Getting some real “Antoine getting blown up” vibes off the entire thing regardless of how reversible the situation is.

Well there certainly ain't much lower for them to go aside from actually killing someone

I’ve got five on Sonic (deliberately) infecting Eggman and having Shadow and Espiso’s thoughts on the matter of killing him (as much as this isn’t literally doing so) thrown back in Sonic’s face.

Hopefully stuff can still come digitally.

It may have to with comic stores being SOL and the Big Two's (lack of) response to the situation.

Especially Marvel. JFC.

Maybe not, she did do Age of Silver for Archie and The Baby episode of Sonic Boom so I think she'll probably not put the comic in a blender.

Like I'd be more suprised if she did the comic in as opposed to the ongoing crisis doing IDW in (who were not in the base of shape before 2020 turned into fuckjhar) sealing the comic's fate.

There seems to be two main factors that contributed to the Metal Virus arc being bloated (aka this is what Ian's openly talked about in the bumblekast on why the arc ran a bit long); one that's directly Ian's fault (he wanted to highlight as many characters as he could), and one that was out of his control (having to write with 4-issue trades in mind)

The whole "Diamond running off to hide in the corner during the actual pandemic" thing didn't help matters ether.
