Only if Ken Penders allows it with Archie, which he strongly does not. That or Sega or archie find his original lost contract or find a loophole to resolve the matter.

Or if Ken Penders dies I guess, I dunno if legal binds will persist after hes gone though.

All in all it's unlikely Shade or the Marauders/Nocturne will ever appear in Archie comics let alone Sega will make that long awaited sequal to Sonic Chronicles.
