This made me wonder, is Sonic the Comic, despite switching from a few comics and fortnightly to fewer comics every blue-moon, is it actually better than Archie Sonic comics now?

Sure Dr. Robotniks brain is broken and needs to be plugged into Egg Bastion to artificially be "sane", but still the comics can continue Sonic as a fallen hero or have Robotnik regenerate if they wanted too go back to older roots.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Because of the whole lawsuit business, the Archie Comics ended up having to get rid of a lot of its material for future use within the foreseeable future (possibly for good), I think everyone understands that -- but how does this situation possibly make Sonic the Comic "better" than Archie now? I fail to understand how not being able to no longer use material makes Archie's competition any better, because its not like all that stuff in Archie never happened in the first place -- something even the main cast has acknowledged ever since the beginning of the soft-reboot. In fact, with the whole soft-reboot thing going on there's a chance for the comics to write off any plotholes and other issues that the previous issues in the comic couldn't easily and quickly resolve, so the potential Archie has now to turn itself into something more consistent can help it considerably in terms of overall quality.

I'm pretty much assuming things on your part, I know, but if I'm mistaken then perhaps you'd be willing to clarify things for me?

In comparison to Sonic the Comic, even Sonic the Comic-Online and these new Archie Sonic comics, story wise. I mean the soft-reboot would be useful for clearing things up but it's mostly because of the legal matters. Also it could be considered "lazy", perhaps far as "bad" by writers term for not actually bothering to fix past mistakes or finishing stories.

Meanwhile StC-O has Sonic as an outlaw and Dr. Eggman as a sort of God of the Machine but they are still keeping at what they're doing and not being too confusing or deep about it. I think I had the oppotunity to talk to one of the comics writers and suggested Dr. Robotnik could regenerate if they ever wanted StC-O to be like the old days again.

Ah, I see.
