Pre-Reboot Ian is the best incarnation of Ian. Felt like he was writing the comics because he wanted to write Sonic comics rather than the pandering to Sega’s corporate ways with the Reboot and IDW with those comics feeling like auditions than something meant for the comic medium. Probably helps that he has the toys to play with and did bring the book back to a stable state. On the other hand, I think we only consider him “great” because not many reads Kitching’s material or some of the other really good writers only wrote one story to their name. The recent Scrapnik Island mini-series makes me think Ian got by because he had no one to really challenge him creativity but that’s neither here or there.
I got this for Christmas almost 10 years ago, along with a ps4, yet THIS was the Christmas gift I loved the most. I spent all afternoon at my grandmas reading about the characters and worlds. I know the Archie comics weren't perfect, but I enjoyed the hell out of them when I was younger.
All that work, history and interconnected world coming to a premature end when things were coming to a head with many long plot points like the constant hunt for the future traitor of the freedom fighters. It’s sad to see, wonder if the old writers have notes they wouldn’t mind sharing of what the plans were and if there is any personal ideas to the future beyond those notes possibly an ending
This video brought back so many memories. I miss pre reboot Archie Sonic so much. Please do a video covering the fan made Archie Sonic online comics that continue from where 247 left off.
Hm, how very interesting, I wish it could’ve been officially complete, but that’s just how things can go, i guess. Anyway, this was a very appropriated cover of this Book, I will look forward to see what you will cover next.
You could probably make a mini-series on this. Ironically, this Encyclopedia was the last piece of official Archie Sonic media I read since I didn't know about its existence until I came across a mention of it on the wiki.
Hope IDW does its own Sonic Comic Encyclopedia someday!
It's good this was released right before the comic's reboot, so nearly the entire story is in this book.

The Archie comics certainly were a mess at times, but I don't think its level of world-building could be topped. Not even by IDW itself.

I actually was wondering if MBM had any plans to cover the titles that makeup Archie Sonic Online
I just got brought on to the Archie Sonic Online team as an artist today, so this is exactly the video I need to watch lol
Think I heard something about the team, going to have to check out. Still congratulations.
What is this Archie Sonic Online you speak of
@@PK-Radio A fan made continuation of pre-reboot Archie Sonic
Oh…now excuse me while I go deep dive into as much as I can on this.
@@squidboilukas I’m interested
I bought the encyclopedia years ago and I still have it. It’s a very nice book.
I think I remember having this book, but I don’t know what I did with it

a mini series is a pretty good idea👍🏾
It's a deliciously amazing treat for Archie Sonic fans and I wish I had it
May Archie Sonic’s spirit continue to be preserved by the fans. #Peace
This was a welcome surprise. I will say that I would like to see the IDW Comics last long enough to have one of these.
Man I really wanna get this book for myself after reading it back in highschool. Too bad it's looong out of print and expensive to buy nowadays
That's a shame it cost so much
Man, i REALLY want this comic on my comic collection. I wish i will have it someday
The fate of the Archie comics as a result of Ken Penders and Sega is really depressing considering the amount of unresolved plot-threads.
Awesome video! It's a shame that all of this great history of Archie Sonic is now gone. Oh well, at least I can look at the comics online now.
Very informative stuff
Incidentally, you ever considered reviewing the Mega Man/Mega Man X Field Guides for the Robot Masters and Reploids?
Are there any other encyclopedias like this for other series
Request for the Sonic Prime review series
I bought the phycial version of this so now im just waiting on it to arrive haha
It's an brilliant idea 💡. 😀👍
I have that encyclopedia i found very cheaper some years ago😂
I have a question. Do you ever look at the fleetway comics?
Hey, have you seen Sonic Archie Comics Online?
