Also, IMO, the final panels of STH #247 (where Team Fighters & Silver are engulfed by the 2nd Genesis Wave) & #251 (where Super Sonic & Eggman are engulfed by the collapsing Super Genesis Wave) are just downright...HAUNTING; they truly give off the vibe that something has gone or is about to go REALLY wrong (which, due to the Ken Penders thing, it did). As of now, after seeing the ending of STH #256 & recent revelations by Ian Flynn, Ken Penders, Ben Bates, & others, my eyes are open towards the full scope of what has happened to the Archie Sonic comics---& it is HORRIFYING. Seriously, THAT in a KIDS comic?!

Personally, I have doubts about whether they'll ever use the Genesis Wave cliche again; Ken Penders is out of the way, the comics are rebooted, & the main heroes are now fully aware of the Genesis Wave & its workings (meaning they'll likely due everything they can to keep Eggman from using the Genesis Wave again, should he try to do so).

One thing is for sure: Ian Flynn sure knows how to write (really, he does)... Before the crossover, I wasn't a Mega Man fan either. But after the comic crossover, I enjoy the Mega Man comics, sometimes more than the dark and moody Sonic comics. You are right; the last panels of both of those issues are disturbing for a kids comic.

As for the Genesis Wave gimmick, I doubt they will use it again. If they do use it again somewhere near StH #275, then I'll be dissapointed.

Anyway, let's get back on topic.

"Disturbing" is right (notice I said "haunting", too); oh, and did I forget to mention a select few characters SWEAR in the Sonic comics (especially Nack the Weasel)??? Hoo, boy...

BTW, I forgot another quote by Super Mega Man (in STH #251) that I like: "I'll admit it, Sonic; this IS cooler". STH #250 also has quite a few good quotes.

When I said Ian Flynn knows how to write, I meant it. Seriously---the dialogue he comes up is just plain golden. I think Nack was the only one to swear. Scourge once swore too. Ah yes I forgot about him. I'm glad they don't swear in the comics anymore.

Really? Which issues?
