Hello guys, so I am wondering will Sonic the Hedgehog franchise characters in this crossover comic be version of characters from Sonic the Hedgehog IDW comic?

Take that, Ken Penders!

Really though, I wonder where IDW is going to take this. Only problem is they're exclusive to the Classic Era unless for some reason rules change or the writers find a way around that rule. Lately it feels like IDW has been innovating in a way I find is setting up a similar style to the Adventure Era Archie comics.

I do hope IDW makes good use of these guys instead of having them simply exist for the sake of it and never come back.

I can see IDW possibly having an entire classic Sonic series, one akin to Sonic Universe, and/or a Shadow series since he's branching off. What do you guys think?

In issue 62 for example, she's playing with a paddle ball (while yes, focusing on what Mimic and Lanolin are talking about), but she seems to really like that thing! Like, Lanolin has to smack it away from her TWICE.

I pick Silver and Blaze fighting Surge with the Diamond Cutters . No wild card needed.

I got it from the free book bus at my school. I really enjoyed reading it. Surge and Kit are very cool characters. Kit having water powers was something i didn't expect to see. It makes me want to read the sonic comics more.

I've heard this is by Adam Bryce Thomas, though I don't know how true it is.

Kudos to those who get the reference

Heya everyone! Today I'd love to talk about an IDW character everyone seems to hate: Lanolin the Sheep.

So there's this website where I personally always read IDW, along with annuals, and also stuff like the Shadow manga and other stuff:

And, why I am saying this is because I happened to read the comments under Issue #74 (the latest one), and saw 2 comments that caught my eye, so I decided to share. So, the first comment I stumbled upon was apparently left by the user who got to talk to Evan Stanley herself about Lanolin and her writing. Here's what the comment says:

Okay, things are speeding up and I know a lot of people must be pissed off or confused about Lanolin and I am too, like. I even got to talk to Evan Stanley on Tumblr and she told me that she understands the fact that some people don’t like Lanolin and she even recognizes that part of that is the way she writes the sheep’s reaction to certain issues, the idea is for her to be a character who tries to follow the rules to the letter which makes her not very flexible like Sonic and company and this seems to be a point of development for her that is being worked on little by little, but now speaking personally after reading this issue the talk about Phantom Rider being a criminal doesn’t seem to make sense, he didn’t invade the competition to hurt anyone or steal the prize, he just invaded the race and drew attention to himself and nothing more so Lanolin seems to be just paranoid about him and because Phantom Rider is Sonic the others should already be more aware that there is possibly something he wanted to investigate and because he was disqualified he couldn’t go in there as himself, simple. She also said that part of Lano’s harsh attitude is due to Mimic’s interference, who, as an infiltrator, uses Duo’s “innocent and naive” attitude to instigate internal friction and create a rupture between them so he can attack Tangle and Whisper when they are alone. I understand all of this and I know it’s hard to write a good story with deadlines to meet, but I think it could be better and more understandable. Maybe making Lanolin apologize to everyone in public after hearing all the explanations would alleviate the bad impression of the character a little, like “she made a mistake but at least she acknowledged it, I hope it doesn’t happen again.”

The second comment:

What she did isn’t rational, but I feel like at this point it should be clear that Lanolin is a typically logical character with big anger issues. The comics don’t really show it that well… (check Adam Bryce Thomas’s twitter…) but she HATES Sonic. Remember that Lanolin is basically the only character that wants to IMPROVE the status quo. Basically all of the main cast enables Eggman to continue threatening the world despite him nearly ending it multiple times at this point. Sonic is practically the personification of that carelessness. For a grounded character like Lanolin who took up arms to keep Eggman from threatening the world, she can only despise Sonic for constantly beating him but never dealing out some form of justice to keep the world safe.

Really annoying that Lano’s execution is so sketchy because she’s supposed to be this complex, realistic character that deconstructs Sonic but in practice everyone seems to misunderstand the character.

My personal opinion: When people say they hate Lanolin, I can perfectly understand why. There are some moments where I just feel like I should hate her and I kinda do, in terms of feeling kind of annoyed with her behavior, especially towards Sonic. But on the other hand, for some reason I feel like I can't bring myself to HATE the character. Hate is like... A too strong word in this case or something I guess. Damn, it's just hard to describe. It's like I enjoy the character but at the same time I don't, and I do feel the reason to hate her so it's supposed to mean I do, but I don't... What's going on with me??😭 I'm just curious if anyone has ever got the same feeling, like, maybe in general. It doesn't necessarily have to be about Lanolin even. But okay, back to the topic. I wanna point out one of the moments that people often take as an example to describe the reason for hating Lanolin: when she took Duo's side and didn't believe Silver. I personally think people are overreacting. Just think about it: was it really Lanolin's thought? I mean, let's see. Maybe she knew Silver was kind of naive and that's why she didn't believe him about Duo. Besides, they had absolutely no evidence to blame Duo that he's Mimic. So Lanolin, again, is the type of character trying to follow the rules, meaning she probably just wanted to be fair, and most likely got mad at Silver or something about accusing Duo of something he didn't do. (Even though he did, but again, they didn't have any proof)

I feel like there's more to it, I mean, the Lanolin topic in general, but this is all I have to say for now.

Thoughts?

Sally's hair when she was younger in the Post-Super Genesis Wave is in the same style as her old pink appearance

When Mimic is eventually ousted, he ends up crippling Whisper in whatever plan he had in mind and manages to escape. Leaving everyone defeated for now.

Silver is quick to remind everyone that he was right all along and blows up at Lanolin, claiming none of this would've happened if she had just listened to him. Lanolin is taken aback due to the shock of the revelation, but Silver continues to cut into her; bringing up all the times she's compromised the team to facilitate herself and accuses her of being more focused on making herself look good rather than the wellbeing of everyone else or the mission.

Tangle surprisingly takes Silver's side and too calls out Lanolin (though she's moreso driven by Whisper being injured).

With Silver's words slicing deep, combined with everything that's happened, Lanolin finally breaks; completely defeated and having no idea what to do or how to fix anything.

Once word spreads about Lanolin's quick trust of Duo over Silver and the subsequent lead up to Mimic's reveal, the Restoration is torn: some blame solely Mimic for deceiving everyone, while others say Lanolin deserves some blame for not being vigilant enough, and some even accuse her of being an accomplice of Mimic and deliberately helping him.

All this culminates with Lanolin ultimately deciding to leave the team, and go out on her own. The team is divided: some like Amy and Tails wanting to work things out, while others like Tangle, Silver, and even Sonic saying her leaving is for the best (some being more hostile than others). Whisper tries to remain neutral, but it's clear she harbours some resentment towards Lanolin herself, both for gaslighting her into believing Silver was wrong, and being the catalyst for her injuries.

Jewel reluctantly relieves Lanolin of her duties and she takes her leave, with some members wishing her the best, others showing indifference, and others thankful to be rid of her, with Silver coldly stating, "Stay out of my way".

After this, Lanolin disappears for quite a while, with no one knowing where she's gone or what she's doing. I'd have her travel somewhere to learn self-discovery and self-discipline, making her less headstrong and opening her mind.

Once she does return, she's the one who duels Mimic one-on-one, with intent on vanquishing him for good, even at the cost of her own life. Despite being content with going down to stop an enemy, she is saved by Tangle and Silver, who see firsthand that she's changed.

This would lead to her slowly reintegrating into the team, though in less of a leader role.

Verdict?

Considering the locations in the world are drastically different from the game how would you go about adapting the storyline?
