Can't be a superhero and work inside the system. Can't be a superhero if you won't do something like this.

I'm happy to share a brand new cover for the upcoming Archie Sonic the Hedgehog fan comic, Loose Continuity! We're adapting @jongraywb.bsky.social's lost script, and for it, @janswidan.bsky.social drew of the best SatAM homages I've ever seen. I can't stop smiling when I look at it. #comics

Uh... is it just me, or did google introduce a new search tab called AI Mode?

Alright here's why that's extra weird. For Reasons, we do see him shirtless in #144. But that page in the OP is from #154, implied to be no more than one month after this. He sprouted that thing like a Chia Pet.

This one specifically.

Never in my life have I seen a 1.5 page splash before this one, or since. I'm genuinely impressed, but this is absolute madness. @jongraywb.bsky.social

Rather than QP my QP, this server-exclusive preview of Page 1 is now public. These are his unpublished pencils from #192, inked, colored, and lettered.

The full story will release with Loose Continuity.

Thank you to @scourgefrontiers.bsky.social and @indexsonic.bsky.social: you rock.

Father and Son from #192 is a classic. It's stuck with people for over 15 years, and only grows in affection with time. Great script. Great art. Great people.

Hears to @scourgefrontiers.bsky.social and @indexsonic.bsky.social for bringing the original version of that story to life.

Thanks, Jon.

Hmmmm... I wonder what might be releasing with Loose Continuity. #SonicTheHedgehog @jongraywb.bsky.social

Some artists want to have done the work, but won't put in the time. That's not him.

And if you like what I've written... I think you'll really love what he's given me the chance to do with Praxis too.

Check out his profile for commissions, and watch his space. The best is yet to come.

You might've seen my RPs of @rhythm-and-tempo.bsky.social's "Sonic-character-a-day" drawings - it's partly to help raise money to fund his original series, Praxis!

Here's his cover for Loose Continuity (inks by @barryosullivart.bsky.social, colors by @indexsonic.bsky.social), and commissions sheet.

Hell is dusting this shelf one by one and not being able to take a break to read.

One down, seven to go.

Hey #comics artists, what would you do if a writer gave you this script for a page? I'm curious how far up we get from misdemeanor.

Our frontispiece, courtesy of @rikdraws.com on lines and @indexsonic.bsky.social on colors. Rik brought together the styles of Ron Lim, Jon Gray, Steve Butler, Jay Axer, Art Mawhinney, Dave Manak, and Dawn Best, highlighting a story they drew between #118-144. #SonicTheHedgehog #ArchieSonic #comics

This one is by former Knuckles artist Dawn Best for a two-page cover! Each one is its own piece that comes together to an even better whole. She brought her old style back in concert with experience, pun intended, and it RULES. #SonicTheHedgehog #ArchieSonic #comics

This post made me want to show everything revealed for Loose Continuity, and what they're styled after. Starting with penciler @rhythm-and-tempo.bsky.social, inker @barryosullivart.bsky.social, and colorist @indexsonic.bsky.social's Sonic Super Special cover! #SonicTheHedgehog #ArchieSonic #comics

An update on Loose Continuity, a fan comic bringing @jongraywb.bsky.social's lost Archie script to life: a beautiful cover with lines from Sonic the Comic Online veteran @pandamis.bsky.social, and colors by New Game writer/artist @scourgefrontiers.bsky.social!

Also backup stories/tie-ins/spin-offs should always be included in between issues unless they break up continuity. I know what I am.

WELL I HAVE COVID I GUESS.

I could be doing so much worse, no fever, still walking around, all that good stuff. But I feel like ass doing it.

And everyone I live with also has it, but worse.

Hey question.

What fucking herbs are in this nightmare drop and why do they taste like poison your suspiciously widowed grandma would give you?

His name is Tylor, and he will absolutely come running into a room if he hears his name or "Good boy", which he thinks is his other name.

He is, so far as I can tell, a golden retriever who got turned into a cat.
