Archie Sonic: Reboot (#252-290) - Sonic the Hedgehog 290

Kind of a sad swan song for Archie Sonic but it was a cute last few chapters. I like what i’ve seen of IDW just fine, but Archie will always be the peak for me. I will miss the edge and messiness of the earlier issues. I don’t think Sonic needs to necessarily be “mature” but the aspects of the comics that dealt with heavier themes were always my favorite.
Losing the freedom fighters with still so many incomplete arcs is harder than I thought it would be. Sally and Sonic will never have true closure, and unfortunately the others never really reached the characterization I was hoping for post SGW.
Although they were a small part, I’m sad Cassia and Clove never got a full resolution either. Them, as well as Spike and rest of the fake sonic fanclub, had some really interesting stuff introduced that we will never get to see again.
Most of all I will miss the edge Sonic used to be written with. A hero for fun more so than because he’s destined for it. Egotistical to an arrogant degree and selfish at times in a way that made him so fascinating to read about. I don’t know if i’d say that was ENTIRELY lost in IDW, but Archie does it in a way I haven’t seen since.
Sayonara, Archie Sonic the Hedgehog
*Sniff* The end…of an era…WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!
Can’t believe this is where it ends. RIP to the Archie comics.
There’s something deeply sad about Amy’s excitement to go on the next big adventure. I can’t believe it’s over.
oh boy! I cant wait for the genesis of a hero finale!
Well after reading everything post 160 I can say that its ok. I still prefer IDW but archie isn’t as bad as I thought and I liked the throw back to the classics
on one of the cards it has chip and dark gaia!?!?!
This is easily the worst part of reebot Archie, its just retellings of the classic Sonic games but without the gameplay, its just lame, we could’ve gotten the issues that were going to be #292, #293, #294 and instead we get… this.
of course, they cant do Sonic 3 (I know why) but its like the music from Sonic 3 in Origins
The last page of Archie ends off with SonAmy, lol. Shame that Genisis of a Hero will never be completed but it was good to end things with an even 290.
