Sometimes I wonder why the Sonic fandom is Like That, but then I remember how fucking bizarre the Archie comic series was
This is the Medium article I was reading on it, because after a certain point, I clocked out: https://medium.com/@ponett/i-read-every-sonic-comic-by-ken-penders-and-theyre-wilder-than-you-could-ever-imagine-1f9dd05ae433
And this is the Sonic comics commentary I was talking about this morning.
It started off as this clumsy, pun-filled SaTAM, Adventures of Sonic hybrid, and then it got all serious and soap opera-y and filled with the writer's own OCs. It was like some older guy who didn't like Sonic was making Sonic fanfic and still marketing it for kids.
