@Sony_70 - Wait a minute, when did you stop reading Mega Man?

@CanisWolfred

I just finished the latest issue of Sonic and it was pretty despite being a bit confusing. Its picking up where with a Quasi rebooted universe and it keeps the adventures fill. Its obviously for kids but the writing seems to be on Par with Colors and generations story. Haven't read the two new Sonic Universe issues but I know its Blaze/Amy/Creame/Marine doing stuff on the high seas.

I stopped reading Megaman after the Sonic Crossover ended. Redid my whole Pull list and I still have one slot open which I'm not sure to fill it with. Its either going to be an all ages book like Megaman or a More Adult book like Pretty Deadly.

@Sony_70 Oddly enough, I just started reading Mega Man (through the compilation book, because I can), bought Sonic Universe Compilation #1, #4, #5.

I also own #1-10 of the main series My Little Pony comic (Chrysalis taking over arc, Nightmare Rarity threatening to destroy the world arc, and the Big Macintosh story arc), as well as Twilight Sparkle's Micro Series #1.

I was thinking of starting the Mega Man comic this weekend, which is why I asked. I didn't know if it ended or turned to crap or what...

I'm always tempted to go back to Sonic out of Nostalgia. It got really dark and confusing after a while (and it's freakin' Sonic! Why would Sonic be dark?!). If things are any better, then it might be worth picking up. The cast was also getting too big, but I suppose I could handle that nowadays, what with all the shounen anime I watch.

But yeah, thanks for your input, definitely gonna consider them, especially since Sonic is on Comixology (meaning no more bookshelf space is no longer a problem).

Shonen anime is probably the best way to describe the comic universe. Archie lost a lot of the charcters so that's one of the reasons the series is getting a quasi reboot.

Oh really? That's odd, but if it means less characters then I'll definitely have to check that out. Thanks, man.

I'm pretty sure the reboot was always going to happen to make the Universe more streamlined and get it out of its own continuity, but one of the old sonic writers sued and won domain of all the characters he created meaning the reboot had to happen either way.

The Justice League Beyond series is pretty great.

All of the Sonic Countdown to Chaos covers connected. Shows off the redesign for the Freedom Fighters,

I'm loving the new look, that's for sure. Thanks for showing that, actually, might use it as a banner on another site someday.

Well, I finally went through a list of comics I had written down to check out...and most of them were either crap or on Haitus. I think the only one that may have been worth checking out that's still regularly updated was Sabrina Online, and I'm honestly not sure I'm comfortable reading another comic by a semi-famous porn artist...

New week for new comics. My pullist this week is (Including last weeks comics)

Green Arrow #24

Hinterkind #1

Sonic the Hedgehog #253

Coffin Hill #1

Halo initiation #3

^Wow, Archie, I've never seen the phrase "resurrecting a dead franchise" taken so literally before.

Those other new ones look cool, though. Hope you like 'em.

I'm interested to know more about the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels. I read the first volume and I want to know about how the characters develop throughout the series. Could any fans tell me a bit more about it?

What exactly is a Manic Pixie Dream Girl?

It's a term coined to describe a particular type of character archetype.

Also, RE: Scott Pilgrim, all you really need to know is this — read them all, for it is all supremely excellent. Not sure what else you're curious about, but seriously, just read it. You will not regret it at all.

Thank you for answering my question. I will definitely be checking out more of Scott Pilgrim. I am actually doing these posts for a project and taking screen shots of them to prove that I participated in a forum about comics. So feel free to ignore the next few posts I make, or answer them if anybody feels like it. I don't mean to be annoying but I just need to make a couple of other random posts.

I cannot say I agree with Scott's motives for going after Ramona and breaking up with Knives, but maybe the characters will learn his lesson as the series continues.

So I was gonna go a big rant today about how Comic Anthologies should still be a thing with the big names. Then I found out that they are still a thing. I think I'll grab A1 Annual in March.

Also, I wanted to run some comics through here to see if anyone has heard of these (and maybe know if they're any good...):

Armarauder: The Last Battalion
Cover
Assembly
Cover
Atomic Robo
Cover
Drone
Cover
Hawken: Genesis
Cover

The last one I'm really interested in, though the others all look promising. Though I just found out that Atomic Robo is from the guy who made 8-Bit Theater apparently, so that's a high priority, too.

EDIT: I also found out that BattleTech had several comic book series. They're all old and out of print, though. Might be hard to get ahold of...

EDIT 2: I forgot my own rule...turned the giant Embeds into links. Sorry about that...it was a pain even for me to navigate...
