The biggest issue was that the King turned out to be a real jerk. It all became more teen drama stuff, focusing on romance and character while a few remaining threats would trouble our heroes. The comic also lost its appeal for me once Robotnik was finally defeated. The problem is that some of this stuff got too weird even for me. Seriously, I looked pretty good.Īnyway all this is part of the reason I can’t get into the Sonic series from Archie anymore, though there are a few standalone tales I may actually keep in my comic library post-review…like stories involving Tails because he’s my favorite character in the franchise. 😀 I’m not sure how hoodie pajamas are less hot than the vest suit but my vests were usually sweater vests. I think Drake just wanted to show off his manly physique in that intro.
Note there’s a bit more swearing than you’re used to in a BW post but it’s all in the video and Penders is kind of deserving of it. I of course have my own thoughts on the matter. In the following video by Comic Drake, the host goes over the history of Ken Penders, his strange obsession with the characters he created for Sonic The Hedgehog and other Archie Sonic titles, and the legal battles that caused Archie to pull a major reboot of the Sonic universe they created. However, it’s the various legal battles he’s held against Archie and Sonic’s creators at Sega that have earned him the scorn of the Sonic fandom and it just keeps getting worse. While he did admittedly create a great extended universe his actions in more recent years have scrapped the whole thing, and frankly you’ll be seeing a bunch of issues I had with the Archie comics at some point because Penders would go in a direction that actually caused me to drop the title for years.
Ken Penders has not been a good match for Sonic and his cast.
Since I’m about to review the Archie run of Sonic comics, including re-reviewing comics I reviewed back when they first came out in the early days of BW Media Spotlight to see how they hold up, this seems like the right video to get into.
