I like the idea that was mentioned towards the end of this compilation, that eggman and sonic knew eachother before Sonic 1. I always imagined that Bee concept art was his time as a henchmen under that original main villan who was also in the concept. Having encounters with sonic and stuff
7:58 I'm guessing the reason as to why Popeye is in the prison is likely because Popeye was a comic character long before the Fleischer's made cartoons out of him, in fact he was cited as one of the lead inspirations for Superman by his creators. As for why him specifically? Idk, maybe the artist wanted a distinct silhouette or something Also that was pretty clever what you did with Amy and the Fantastic Four hehe
24:12 It might’ve also been cancelled just because they were getting into the reboot. And could’ve wanted to do another story with Shard before he would be gone. And it could be a late change, as you see a reprint of one of Shard’s earliest appearances as Metal Sonic 1.0 from the early 90s, (Or at least an earlier bot from the Metal Sonic line) to fill the rest of the pages.
27:25 I would prefer how they look in Reboot Archie if they were added. It stays as true to the originals as much as possible, but makes small changes that better fits the main series.
Only exposure to sonic is the Sonic games post Sonic Adventure and the SonicX show, I’ve heard the comics were wild but not like this lmao 😂 It’s great and I’m enjoying this content so far. Hopefully you post more!
