An Archie Sonic Re-Release By...Ken Penders!? 

Daz tru

@@XxDarkShadowLord6144 Yeah. that'd be like if I decided to go work for Marvel and suddenly claim that I own X-Men because I worked on Wolverine and came up with my own Mutants.

​​@@MacUser2-il2cx must be one of the reasons why guys be taking the anger and hatred on Penders throughout the decade

The man makes Rob Liefeld look like a competent artist and writer.

I really wish the two sides could work something out and actually rerelease the comics in their original form as big omnibus volumes in full color. It'd be nice to just be able to read the Archie comics in order in a size big enough to be able to be put alongside Marvel and DC comics.

The only reason Ken won the initial lawsuit was because SEGA let him. This _might_ be SEGA's opportunity to sue Ken and actually win, and get a good chunk of characters from the comics back. Unless I'm a complete idiot and that's not how that works... Henseforth why I said might.

I wish that ALL of the sides would shut the f u c k up about this d a m n issue because Archie, Fleetway, IDW, Ken Penders, AND Sega are all EQUALLY toxic, as well as are all also responsible for this mess, and the solution is to boot the literal Yakuza from Sega, then buy up ALL of the Fleetway, Archie/SatAM, Sonic X, and IDW Sonic characters, reboot the entire d a m n Sonic universe, not just in video games, but also in the comics as well, and to learn from the lessons of what NOT to do with TMNT, Usagi Yojimbo, and Ninjara, make one cohesive universe, learn some cues from Mario (yes, that sounds sacrilege, but, trust me, Sonic and company need powers that are both more diverse, as well as are also unique to themselves, and, in some cases, be shared among themselves as well), and then learn some additional lessons from the Sonic clones like the Freedom Planet, as well as other, franchises, so, that way, Sonic can be a true rival to Mario, and, considering how much of a decline that the franchise has had since Super Mario 3D World, it is all in favor of such a advantageous move for Sega.

@@paxhumana2015 I'm sorry, but how is everyone _equally_ toxic in this case? Ken tries to convince himself that he owns characters that he can't even use by the way, since they're basically just clones of the main characters and are not legally distinct enough to be useable by him, and Archie never communicated with Sega when making a new character, meaning they never made the copyright for them.

@@paxhumana2015 Archie and Sega simply had communication issues, and Ken refuses to hand over his characters that he, again, can not use because they are not legally distinct enough.

can you do this ?

@@TheSlimshady00058 I'm sorry, but I'm not in the best financial situation right now.

Archie Comics can't, because they no longer have license for Sonic the Hedgehog. IDW does, in fact, IDW did reprint collection books of the old Archie licensed Ninja Turtles Adventures comics, (because IDW also has license for TMNT) so it's up to IDW and Sega to reprint them, but sadly all the legal battles with Ken years back has made Sega and Co. way too paranoid to even try sadly... Apparently, they also had legal issues/battles with Scott Fulop (whom was inspired by Ken...) over his stories/characters too. Something you don't hear about with the Penders drama. So thanks to those 2 guys, we'll probably not see Archie Sonic ever legally/officially reprinted again in our lifetime at least... I should also probably mention for legal reasons the Archie TMNT reprint collections edit out the Archie logos off the cover art pages for each issue in each collection, due to legal issues. So that shows IDW didn't have to owe any credit to the former Archie publisher.

People keep saying that and nothing ever happens and if it does he just keeps going anyway

Apparently all he needs to do is ensure people aren’t buying it thinking it’s a new Sonic product. Thus why the cover is his artwork.

But i saw some of the artwork he made for this edition and man, it's still ugly and he doesn't hide anything, there's a panel where Julie-Su breast feeds baby Lara-Su@@AkumaTh

@@OrtemionQC I know. But as long as nobody is thinking this is a new Sonic thing, he can do it. So for people buying it, please hashtag Sega saying "finally, we're getting Archie Sonic back" while making sure you point out you are buying it because of its connection to Sonic. Then they can do something.

Sega are gonna tell him that he's wrong about what he's doing@@AkumaTh

Does Ian Flynn or Sega even know about this Re-Release?
