The 15 Year Evolution of Archie Sonic - A Complete Retrospective

This essay bangs i come back to listen to more when im sad

Disagree with a good amount of your points for the hate part
The struggle to save max being "pointless" can be said the same about the comic's overall idea which is to get rid of Robotnik and as we know that never happends
Didnt like either how Dulcy was used as a plot device and I personally think Geoffrey and King Max which had lost everything for being too trust worthy are really cool as an antagonists minus the weird sally stuff. Im glad u came to like Geoffrey somewhat when time went on, I do agree that he has been improved upon The earlier issues just kept using the same satam cast and same bad guys so trasing on the new characters cuz they are ... new is illogical. U can just say the mask given to Harshy was made to only see Sally as snively 💀it aint that deep, u admited yourself eggman carried the early phase of archie, which is what I'll also say for Sonic Quest. Silver Sonic was also cool in that
A lil biased towards Flynn near the end but overall great to see someone talking about this fun comic and not be the generic "it gets good only when flynn comes on" You've got my like
25 years into the future is for me the worst thing archie has to offer, even when knowing penders circumstances and that he sometimes had to wrote and draw issues all by himself in a short amount of time, still had something going for better or worse

I know you started to put these songs onto your secondary channel but I really hope we get the song you made for Ant in the final part. I’ve came back multiple times just for that song lmao

Absolutely amazing video series! I’m so glad I have enough hyper focus to just get lost in this video over and over again.

I’ll probably go ahead and read the comic I’ve been wanting to for a while now. Part of me wants to also delve into IDW but I just can’t get the same feeling from that series. I think the overall stories are amazing but the characterization just isn’t there as much.

Maybe one day you can take a look at it and see for yourself because the art and stories on their are pretty amazing, though I don’t think anything can beat this comic with all its charm and history. Even if half of it wants to make us all pop our eyes out of our head to look like E.V.E

I’m about to listen to all of this start to finish

Gonna need every time stamp for each sighting of Sleuth Doggy Dog. If anyone has it, please reply thank you

Hearing you say my name ("isn't that right, Adam?") after seven hours of vibing and drawing and not super paying attention had me spit coffee all over my tablet. Thanks, brah

Currently 3 hours in, i really really appreciate this kind of love and attention that’s poured into a project about the sonic comic.

I was OBSESSED with this series as a kid, around 2010. I read them all digitally and I actually managed to binge through most of it. I loved the Wii sonic games (yeahhh I know) and this comic was just so COOL to me. I stopped reading around when the Megaman crossover happened, and got into reading more “adult and artsy and serious” graphic novels, but I’ve always had a soft spot for this comic.

I’m an animation student and I think I’ve subconsciously been inspired by this comic in my own work more than I realized. The stuff with EVE and the second Verti-Cal and Horizont-Al story always stood out to me especially

Edit: this comment was meant for a review of Sonic Frontiers. I accidentally posted here when my playlist moved on. This video is awesome and so is Archie Sonic, despite its rough patches.

The people who really love this game are fuled by cope. It has so many fundamental problems. Like, I wanted to love this game, but I just don't think sonic team or sega is capable of making good Sonic games anymore. Like the boost gameplay that sega refuses to let go of has consistently gotten worse with each game since Generations.... and it wasn't great in colors either.

Scourge Episode Scourge Episode!

Now all he needs to do is make a timeline video

YO WERE CAN 8I FIND TRHAT BOX SET FROM THE START OF THE VID

plz don't support ken paners support other creator who make sonic archie comic and other writers

welp, having used this as recap, it is time to embark on my archie sonic flyn era journey.
wish me luck, y'all

You are not going to tell me Mobius 25 years later a story where NOTHING happens for 13 goddamn issues is good where people sit around at dinner parties and sleepovers amd in classic penders fashion have characters blather on in plodding detail about how dire stakes WILL be in some hypothetical future issue that when it does come to pass ends on an inevitable wet fart all while our action hero protagonists do basically nothing while their bland personalityless kids have shitty teen soap opera drama is good right? You're not seriously going to be arguing that like I think you're about to?

>"This is a compilation"

Thank! GOD! I was not ready to take a day off for this.

Safe to say, I will be coming back to this video over the next few days.

Why does Tails sleep under a giant poster of Sonic lmao

As for a method of reading the series, ahem, Grabber Zone

Half way through, this video is awesome

As someone who binge-read this comic well past its cancelation, thank you so much for putting into words what I've struggled to tell people, how this dumb and over-complicated monstrosity of a comic can be so worth it even at the times where it absolutely isn't.

Do you have any plans to dive into the post-Genesis Wave or IDW incarnations of the comic?

sonic dancing Karakuri Pierrot and your Dear My Friend cover was an experience

This is a pretty fun runback of all the archie ups and downs.
Also, thanks for not shitting on my art in the comic from a million years ago

Not going through this whole thing again any time soon, but I'll give the collection video a Like and a comment for the road.

Why does Ken Penders look like his awful drawings

Great video, I grew up reading and absolutely loved the chaotic world of archie sonic and the characters within it. I enjoyed this video reminiscing the issues and how I felt about some of them, thanks for this and looking forward to seeing more

I lost my virginity to this.

Bro I don’t even know if I’ve ever seen half these videos but I’m going deep

I have to say, the Knuckles comic really wasn't that bad. For all its faults, I never hated it. Not even the Chaos Knuckles Saga.

It's still weird seeing sonic, tails, knuckles, and all of the other original sonic characters alongside the other ones like antoine. You have this blue hedgehog, with a different mix of original elements like spines being turned into lockes of hair, fused eyes and bright red shoes, then you have a cartoony coyote standing up. Not a dig at him or any of the other characters, but it's just a good way to see two separate creative processes compared and contrasted.

Well shit. Good thing I didn't have any plans today.

as someone who watched the knuckles lecture video on loop in the background when it dropped the latter half of this video was so satisfying

This series is such a godsend.

I'd read random issues of archie sonic and sonic universe here and there and always thought that what i read was fantastic, but had no idea where to start.
This gives me the chance to jump straight into what i feel are some of the best versions of my favorite characters, Archie Sonic fuckin rocks.

Are you going to be reviewing the final two episodes of Attack On Titan soon?

i watched the other ones all the way through and ill watch this one all the way through again too

"Chilling, just vibing to an 8 hour video about Archie's Sonic, what're you doing?"

Here you dropped this: 👑

I got no words. This is amazing! I can't tell you how much this means to me.

You need a raise.

OF MY GOD 8 HOURS

Ahh archie sonic. Shake you got cancelled. What a lose it was.
