So Eggman is having Bokkun deliver a series of “gifts” to various human characters in the series as part of his latest scheme

I guess Rouge just spoils her girlfriend so much that Topaz doesn’t question finding a new laptop on her desk with a note saying it’s from her

the Sonic X comics are bananas in the most fun way

[thankskenpenders]

Sonic said fuck the military

[thankskenpenders]

I can’t believe Big straight up just clocked Eggman

[thankskenpenders]

The Sonic X comics have decided to acknowledge one of the biggest mysteries of the “two worlds” canon! How did Eggman, a human born on Earth, end up on Sonic’s world? According to the comics, Professor Gerald sent him there! However, Eggman doesn’t remember how or why

[thankskenpenders]

More dimensional shenanigans are afoot after the sudden disappearance of the Chaotix, and now Sonic has found himself in… Green Hill Zone?

Yes, believe it or not, Joe Edkin’s Sonic X comics did a big Genesis era throwback for the 15th anniversary! This was years before this sort of thing would start being a regular occurrence in the main series. Of course, in 2006, the main Archie Sonic comics were busy untangling the lore and doing tie-ins for new games like Rush and Riders, so I suppose it makes sense that the side series with no real plot would have more room to do something like this

[thankskenpenders]

Truly, this is Eggman’s most dastardly trap yet… the edge of the screen

[thankskenpenders]

I appreciate that Tracy specifically drew Sonic hitting Eggman (or this fake classic Eggman, or whatever) eight times to beat him

[thankskenpenders]

This is a much more serious discussion than I expected to find in a Joe Edkin Sonic X issue loosely adapting Sonic 1! But I suppose this is a recurring theme in his work. For all the corny jokes and the whimsy, Edkin is also interested in digging a little deeper into the characters, exploring how the cast feels about their situation on Earth. First we had Cream explain how she missed her mom but was thankful that Cheese stayed with her on Earth. Then we had Sonic explain his feelings about being Chris’s friend. And now we have Knuckles explaining how he feels about Sonic and his battle against Eggman

[thankskenpenders]

So it turns out that simulation of classic Eggman Sonic and friends have been fighting in the game isn’t Eggman at all–it’s professor Gerald! Well, okay then

Also, this is such a minor detail, but something about Eggman using the term “sprite” is so impressive to me? That’s like… nobody writing a video game comic in the ‘90s would’ve used the right term

[robotnik-mun]

Huh. I wonder if THIS is where the theory that Gerald Robotnik was in fact the Eggman of the classic games came from? 

[nuttyrabbit]

I’ve never heard that theory before….reminds me of the “Cranky Kong is the DK from the original Donkey Kong” idea, although I think that one has a bit more merit

Also Eggman using the term “sprite” here just tells me the writer has actually played video games before, which, while not impressive now, was probably nice to have back when this was published

[robotnik-mun]

It’s one that floated around a bit before dying during the mid-2000s or so- this weird idea that Gerald Robotnik was in fact the PAST Eggman. Obviously it didn’t really take hold like some of the other fan ideas that sprung up, but it was there for a tiny bit. 

Though now, much like the Eggman Backup Body, I gotta ponder the implications behind Eggman directly modeling one of his projects after his grandpa.

this ghost shit’s turning into Shaun of the Dead real quick, huh
