But I'm still hoping they will come back somehow someway. I agree. No matter what Penders or SEGA says, those characters WILL come back whether they like it or not. I only hope someone rights a petition to convince SEGA to put an end to their stupid mandates on both the games and the comics forever or be sued. I'm all for being optimistic but saying they "WILL" come back is just a dream. Not only is a petition, even with 10,000 signatures, not going to convince SEGA to pay someone who is trying to sue them, but at this point SEGA/Archie Comics doesn't even want them back! They have a great thing going and the people who were upset about the lost characters etiher got over it or stopped reading. In the process the gained more fans because the comic became easier for new people to follow. You should do the same. The characters CAN NOT come back. Even if Ken Penders dies, his family still own the characters for 150 years (I think Disney got it moved up again). And even if he wished to sell is chracters right now why would they buy them when they can create FREE ones! Money speaks louder than words when it comes to companies. Also, "be sued" by who? Be sued by some fans who never got over it and never will. Money dosn't always speak louder than words for some companies. New characters will never replace the old ones. I doubt Ken's family will keep those characters for long. People will still write a petition anyway and SEGA/Archie "WILL" have to take them back no matter what they say or do. Dream or no dream, those characters coming back "WILL" become a reality. SEGA should've realized by adding those stupid mandates, they just caused a lot of damage to their business.

Even after all that if you still refuse to accept the change here: https://www.change.org/p/archie-comics-publications-reverse-the-changes-to-the-sonic-the-hedgehog-comic. It's the link to the petition that some people started when 252 was annonced. It has almost 2,000 supporters and you will need 10,000 for Archie or SEGA to even look at it. So good luck.
