Yes, we still have a forum.
Not Enough Rings follows Sonic as he speeds through his SEGA Genesis adventures. The strips are packed with funny nods to gameplay quirks, plot points, and character traits. The whole collection is really a love letter to the classic Sonic games with just enough naughtiness to retain that SEGA edge.
The comic began by introducing a blacksmith, driven by his dreams to create a gleaming golden spire (the same spire seen on the game cover and menu screen!). Little did the smith know that he was being controlled by Wizeman the Wicked to create a spire identical to one found in Nightopia, the land of dreams. NiGHTS and Reala are introduced as lackeys of Wizeman (!) who have just captured the two dreamers of the real world who only appear once every century, these being two kids of the 1800’s.
Through some typical comic-level logic, Super Sonic begins as a sort of ‘Hulk mode’ for the hedgehog, a split personality he would tap into when becoming too stressed. Through some more comic logic, the two split into detached beings. This new, separate Super Sonic became the main antagonist, a nightmarish red-eyed parallel to the protagonist. Yeah, it’s a little ‘edgy’, but it’s that lovable 90s edge. I had to re-read through the comics a little to remember what they were like, but Super Sonic was something I haven’t ever forgotten.
Sonic the Comic, usually dubbed Fleetway Sonic is very different in tone from its American brother, Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog.In this series instead of Sonic being the carefree jokester he's known to be, Sonic is actually a very flawed character in all the worst ways. Arrogant, rude, and very selfish. This turns off many fans but others still love it.
While Sonic's MIA, Vector the Crocodile, leader of the Chaotix Detective Agency, forced to take charge to thwart the new threat.. And while the team under his leadership manages to hold off Dr. Eggman for the time being, they are unable to win.
“You will notice in the demo that the main character’s name was Joe Pencil, and he was pretty geeky-looking. I liked the classic comic book angle of a scrawny kid getting transformed into a powerful superhero” – Peter Morawiec told SEGA-16.
IDW has announced “Sonic The Hedgehog: The IDW Collection, Volume 1”, the first in a series of hardcover oversized books spanning the IDW Sonic series in recommended reading order. This means that the ongoing series, annuals, and mini-series will all see release under this format as future volumes release.
Dr. Eggman might not have implanted a bomb in Sonic The Hedgehog that will explode if his speed drops below 50 mph, which coincidentally does happen to a bus in the first Speed film, but Sonic is infected with a virus that momentarily stops spreading and even goes into a brief remission when he's running at top speeds for long periods of time. Failure to travel at such high velocities will lead to the blue hedgehog transforming into a metallic zombie or, as he calls it, Zombot.
