The Perfect Classic Sonic Comic | Sonic Speed Reading

[@SilverHyozanryu]

I really enjoy how Classic Amy's infatuation with Sonic is treated as alot more sweet and wholesome. Don't get me wrong I do like how Modern Amy can be really feisty and confident but I like how Classic is more like a genuine crush that she's embarrassed about, it's very natural.

@Sonic Same with Rush and 06, honestly. His utility in these games begins and ends with explaining stuff and delivering an object or two that another character could have found just as well themselves. It’s just that at least in these games, he wasn’t written so blatantly out of character that it drew negative attention.

[@Red_Ryry]

@@rainpooper7088 I mean to be fair they did learn from that with rush because he did more stuff in rush adventure. Say what you will about that game but at least he was building and designing things that actually helped and pushed things forward.

[@johhnyboy.6655]

@@baval5 i've seen SatAm, and greatly enjoyed it in middle school/early high school. Jaleel is fine for that world and that specific version of Sonic, but that sonic (to me) is a very very different flavor than game Sonic. I just can't see it working, especially with characters like GameTails, Classic Amy and Classic Eggman, versions of characters Jaleel Sonic never interacted with (to my knowledge anyway). in my mind, there just isnt chemistry there. In Eggman's case, both shows' interpretations of Eggman were retooled from the games to foil Jaleel's Sonic. So Vanilla Classic Eggman next to Jaleel, that just gonna be an underwhelming mashup Ian Flynn isnt my favorite writer atm, but I appreciate thst he writes Jaleel Sonic in a way where readers can "ignore" that voice if they want.

[@misterzygarde6431]

I personally feel that Classic Sonic should’ve been his own timeline rather than a whole universe. Makes more sense. Other than that I’m absolutely sold on this. I am surprised that Sega let Ian Flynn keep Bean and Bark’s characterization from the Archie Comics as mercenaries who get in the way of Sonic and friends considering that they’ve made lots of mandates as to not let the writers change the characters too much. Also even if unlikely, how would you feel if a Sonic Mania sequel were to have characters from SatAM appear!

[@charliekahn4205]

Bean and Bark haven't shown up since StF anyway. Although they and Fang did compete in the Fighters Megamix along with the car from Daytona 500.

[@ButtonMasherReal]

I guess Sega can't tell the writers not to change a character too much if said character didn't really have much of a, well, _character_ to begin with.

[@brennocardoso334]

To me, Ian Flynn just fits perfectly as the current Sonic writer for IDW publishing. He knows how to write the characters in a way that not just complements their personalities but, like you've said throughout the video, maintains loyal to the source material, and brings back interpretations of themselves from other games. The world building, Original Characters and stories adaptations just feel vivid with him

[@pokeluis2002]

I absolutely love how the Heavy King is heavily inspired by the SATAM interpretation of Eggman, being a clone of the doctor himself, with all the high intellect and ruthlessness, but none of the naiveness or pettiness of the original Robotnik. If they continue to do these Classic Sonic spin-off comics, I hope that once they introduce the other robot Sonics (Silver and mecha), they all get some sort of unique trait that makes them stand out between the other robot clones. Especially mecha, If he’s as proud and merciless like in his SMBZ version, it could basically be like the 2nd coming of jesus

Seasons of Chaos was obviously the strongest story imo, and Aaron Hammerstrom's art is absolutely amazing for just how masterfully it emulates the Japanese artwork, I honestly wish he was a regular on the comic alongside Tracy and Adam. I also appreciate the humor in the comic and pretty much everyone's characterization, especially Knuckles. Knuckles by and large actually feels like Knuckles again, and not just the but of the joke about how stupid he is of how he is obsessed to a feral degree over the Master Emerald.. The other stories were pretty nice, with probably the driving story being the weakest outside of all of the references in it.

The artwork is gorgeous, the stories are well written, and the whole thing is just pure fun. I especially love Amy's characterization in the free comic book story. I also love how you mention that this comic takes the best elements from older Sonic media and refines them in this comic, which is what I loved about Ian Flynn's work on Archie, even if it wasn't perfect.

It's not perfect, there were definitely little things here and there that felt a bit off to me, but all in all, this was easily the most fun I've had with a Sonic comic since... well ever, really. This is much more in line with what I want out of Sonic as a series. Not a pure comedy, dramatic epic, serious war story or even a depressing apocalypse scenario.

It could literally be a happier world back in the day (as nostalgia is usually known to be like) and as Sonic and Eggman and the rest grew with the world and universe, the light, happy tone slowly faded into the background to allow room for the darker, serious, and epic/grandiose stories of Modern Sonic.

After reading this book I want a classic book monthly!

[@Serious5GamingS5G]

I just got this book today from the book fair at my school, and sure am I glad I didn't watch this video before reading the comic myself because I thought the video was gonna be about an old comic book before I knew the 30th year anniversary comic book existed, also now my new Sonic character is Kip the Capybara because Capybaras are pog, that they also added Tails doll, an old character that the internet spaced off as a creepypastas, and also metal knuckles, and brought back the hard boiled gang, Heavy king, and Mighty & Ray from Sonic mania (yes I know Mighty and Ray originated from the arcade Sonic game but they have regain popularity in Sonic mania) and keep in mind that I'm not even into books so the fact that this comic book managed to get me to read it in once sitting even though I had the option to read it or not proves how good it is

I couldn't agree more. Sonic deserves a comic like this after so long.

I hope all of the stories are included in the new deluxe book! I’m super excited.

He’s gonna be having a field trip with almost 15+ IDW Sonic issues after the metal virus arc

Honestly I’m a modern sonic fan more then classic but I did love this comic! Especially since my Boy Bean the Dynamite returns! Even though Classic sonic was meant to be sonic of the past I guess we are just going with it being an alternative dimension now.

The way I see it, the Egg mans in Generations messed with time so hard that with Ended up with the alternate timelines. That's right, we're getting Zelda in here!

I'm sorry, but that exchange on-screen at 18:37 is just perfect. I don't even have context, as I'm too broke to buy this issue after spending nearly $60 on manga earlier this week. For those too lazy to read it in video here it is: Sonic: "Good thing we have and expert treasure hunter with us, right Knux?" Knuckles: "Don't patronize me. But yes"

happy 22nd anniversary dreamcast!!!(& sonic adventure.:3) i really loved these comics as it feels like a mix of everything we know so far in classic sonic and along with feeling like how i'd imagine mania 2(while giving love to characters like bark & amy,loved beans reactions to his return.) just showing love for the hedgehog(& dr. eggman.:3) on his 30th anniversary(would prefer classic sonic coming back in comics/the next 2d game be a sonic advance successor.). i honestly really want to see a sega all stars comic(seeing sonic and tails interact with the characters from alex kidd,billy hatcher,nights,bayonetta especially,space channel 5,dinosaur king,samba de amigo,sakura wars,yakuza,shenmue,virtua fighter,clockwork knight,puyo puyo,jet set radio,monster world,ristar,skies of arcadia,hatsune miku,golden axe,streets of rage,sega hard girls,catherine & persona 3-5 in this style would be awesome.:3) next as i wish we got for sega's 60th anniversary.

I am looking at these comments, and the sonic community is much more educated then any other. I like every video of this guy, even the whole Speed reading of the metal virus!

32:25 "I hope you stick around for that, because it gets crazy." I think it's underselling it.
