Okay, so over on twitter there's this post of a commission of Sally Acorn by Sonic manga artist Morimoto Sango I really loved the design and wanted to try doodling it myself, which exploded me coming up with a classic anime love square between the main four (as well as their thoughts on Sally). I'll put the text under a cut so it's easier to read:

Sonic: Crush on Sally Amy: Crush(!!) on Sonic Thinks Sally is so cool omg!!! (Crush) Nicky: Crush on Amy Thinks Sally is intense... Sally: Crush on Nicky Thinks Sonic is slightly annoying... Friendship with Amy

No one tagged me, but I'm feeling good to finally be writing again and wanted to do this. I tag @vcaudley and @101flavoursofweird, plus anyone else who wants to share their WIP Post the last three lines your wrote for your current WIP --- The two of them make a slow, but unobstructed walk towards the centre of the temple. There’s no way that Zagreus would travel back via the winding way that he came to get here in the first place - even without the uncertainty of Erebus or the threat of the dream fog, the Lethe is a constant risk. For once, Zagreus opts to take the path of least resistance.

THANKS A MILLION FOR THIS COMMISSION!! As always, the fastest draw in the west and it looks so cool and colourful! Momus's vibes are on-point and pouty Theseus is great! I meant to say this before as well, but I adore the shading on Momus's hair, that's exactly the kind of volume he'd want his hair to have :D

A commission done for @samcybercat of Momus (OC), Theseus and Zagreus in Elysium! I had SO much fun with drawing it!

Here's a new line fron Jan and Dan's Dog, which I finally started working on again --- I felt a hand grasp at my throbbing ankle, but it let go again the moment that dreadful dog let out his guttural bark, which echoed through the corridor and commanded their attention - they were his servants and he was their master.

Why do you want to read Sonic the Comic?

The short answer is because it was my intro to the Sonic series as a whole, but I haven’t reread most of it since I was a kid. But I’ll go into a little more detail about that below the readmore, as well as outlining what I will and won’t be reading for this blog

Sonic the Comic issue #80 rewired my brain and changed my life

Now, the first issue of StC that I bought as a kid was #80. I should add a disclaimer here that there was a kid I knew back then who recommended me the comics - she had issues #78 and #79, so I probably at least glimpsed those as well. But #80 was the first issue that I had for myself (and I still have my copy!), so that’s the one that gave me my first impression of Sonic

I’m sure StC fans will know why this issue was a big one and even Sonic fans who have a casual familiarity with StC will probably see Super Sonic on the cover and guess that a lot of stuff happens in this issue… and you’d be right! I’ll save the review for when I actually get to this issue in my reread, but the basic premise is that Sonic goes to visit his friend Porker Lewis on the Floating Island (later known as Angel Island in the games), where the chaos emeralds and master emerald are kept suspended above a giant… hole thing that holds their power (kid me didn’t ask questions, adult me still doesn’t). Sonic fell in this hole and got a full whack of their power, turning him into the evil Super Sonic who’s hellbent on destroying the last person who’d been on Sonic’s mind, who happened to be Amy Rose

The story ends on this cliffhanger and I can pin-point this single image as the reason I got into Sonic in the first place

…Like, look at this!! The art is so cool! What’s going to happen to Amy Rose? Why has Sonic turned into a crazy powerful being who wants to kill her? I have to know more! I have to get the next issue and maybe devote my entire life to this series! Like, Super Sonic looks so powerful and Tails looks terrified of him! But Amy still looks quite calm and collected. Maybe she’s only just noticed Super Sonic zooming into the scene or maybe she’s just composed enough to not be as fearful of him as Tails is. Obviously, even without knowing anything about the series, I could tell that Amy is Sonic’s friend and I want her to be okay. But something about seeing her reaction in this panel made it seem like the “Next Issue: Amy vs Super Sonic!” advertised at the bottom of this page wouldn’t be as one-sided as some might expect it would be And that’s how, on (roughly) 21st June 1996, an 8-year-old who’d just spent their £1.20 pocket-money had their socks blown off by a Sonic comic (Out of curiosity, I looked up where Archie Sonic was at around this time and it was… issue #37! The Knuckles spin-off comics would also be released the month after this. But I wouldn’t know about the existence of either of these until later)

Now, 80 issues into an on-going series is obviously a late point to hop on, but I can honestly say that it never hindered me reading the comics as a kid. Every two weeks I’d get to see Sonic and his friends have adventures and sometimes they’d mention established lore that I might not have known, but it was easy just to write that off as something from an earlier issue and carry on Also, after a certain point, StC started to reprint older stories. Which was both a blessing and a curse, because on one hand it meant that I could catch up with older stories I hadn’t read before, but on the other hand it deprived the issues of newer stories, until the comic would eventually become entirely reprints from issue #185. Even so, I can confidently say that there are probably stories in the first 79 issues of the series that I’ve never read, so I’m looking forward to getting to those on my read-through So, will you stop reading at issue #184? While I intend to read from #1-184, the reprints issues do feature new covers from Richard Elson

Many of which show newer takes on earlier stories, featuring the green-eyed Sonic of the modern era. So while it’s far away now, I’ll most-likely do a post about these covers to conclude my read-through. Although man, looking at #185’s cover in particular puts me right back into being there as a kid, expecting to see new stories, only to open the comic and get entirely reprints…

Will you be reading the non-Sonic stories?

Early on in its run, StC featured stories from other SEGA titles of the time, before committing to being entirely about Sonic. While not to diminish the merits of these stories, I just don’t have the same familiarity with most of their source material that I do for Sonic, so I won’t be reading them. The exceptions being probably the Ecco stories (because I did play Ecco as a kid) and Decap Attack, because Decap Attack was still running after I started reading the comic and I remember enjoying it. But I won’t be blogging about either of these in the same way that I will be the Sonic comics themselves, so you won’t have to skim past posts about loads of other series to get to the Sonic stuff

What about the Sonic spin-offs?

I will absolutely be reading these once I find or make a good reading-order that slots them into their proper place. The above summer ‘96 special was also one of my first StC issues and I remember it fondly

What about the Captain Plunder stories?

Yep! Captain Plunder exists in Sonic’s universe and I enjoyed his standalone stories as a kid, so I’ll be including him in my reread Anything else?

For a time, StC included game reviews and ofc they also had a fanmail and fan art section, like Archie and IDW. For the most part, I’ll only be including small bits of these that I find interesting or relevant, but I won’t be talking about them wholesale. Though I’m sure that a Sonic comic’s reviews of Sonic games will be worth a look at

Jan and Dan's Dog!

My bold move didn’t grant me much time and, as my hands scraped against the floor tiles, I could hear hurried movements behind me. I had no way of knowing who was coming after me - probably Dan, since Jan would still be reeling from the boiling liquid - but right now it didn’t matter. All that mattered was that I got to the door before they could stop me.

Untitled TheseZag thing? 👀👀👀

Ah, but this will be no fun if Zagreus keeps verbally chasing Theseus around in circles, having Theseus bark that he won’t answer each time. Perhaps he should wrap this up now. Zagreus dashes around to stand in front of Theseus, blocking his path and continuing to smile as widely as he has been this whole time. “All right, if you’re not going to give me a satisfying answer, then at least give me a moment to commit this to memory. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve seen your face turn red with anger, but you having to hold it back…?” Zagreus leans in closer, so their faces are almost touching, “...This must be killing you inside.” Theseus swats at Zagreus’s face, causing Zagreus to dance a few steps backwards - he knew that Theseus couldn’t hold it in.
