Knuckles lasted 32 issues...which was a spin off of Sonic's most popular rival (at the time) Sonic X lasted 40 issues...which was a spin off based on a TV show. Sonic the Hedgehog was based of the SATAM show and early video games and is STILL going strong (1-195 onward). Maybe it just goes to show that any spin offs from the main sonic comic don't last as long as the original? Granted there has been been only two so far as the Sally and Tails miniseries never took off. I wonder why Sonic X was retired at 40. Considering that this issue 40 brakes any and all rules regarding the series up to this point, I wonder if Sega realized that the "stuck storyline" was a bad idea. But it doesn't seem to make sense as the show Sonic X is still airing? Why cancel a comic series if the show it's based on is still being broadcast? There is only two things I can see of this 1) It wasn't doing too good. or 2) Sega wants to try something different. If everything was going fine, and the show is still on the air...why cancel it?

As for Silver, he has yet to find his proper place in the Sonic franchise, (his first adventure being erased from the timeline and Rivals not giving him a role in things yet since he still only show when Eggman Nega rears his ugly head). In a warped way, this can help Archie since Sega won't have as many ruthless dictates to give to the comic company regarding the character. Riding the Wave is: Skeith, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands.

The idea sounds kind of dumb(to be honest). If there are some changes, I hope they are good ones. Also, I am a little disappointed by a seemingly lack of Sally in upcoming issues. Although, she may be in the issues, but not in a major role.

Spin Dashin' across the universe, Changin' our voice actors so they can't rehearse. Also whoever mentioned Mosaic, as cool as little strips from continuities and obscurities here and there would be, that works better as one page things, it wouldn't do as a mag. This definatly sounds like Ultimate Sonic. (Although Universe is an interesting name since thats the name of the transformers toyline where they stick toys that don't fit in with any established continuity =O)

Oh yeah, I know that the anime is over...but the show is "still" on the air. Reruns or no, the Sonic X brand/label is still being broadcast. I'd imagine because of all the rules, Archie was running out of steam on ideas. Well, if that was the case, I would simply get across to Archie/Sega and try to get those rules changed. Which Ian did for 40. But thats it, the comic series is over. Way not just continue under the Sonic X brand? Sonic Universe? Who is going to buy that without the marketing push that Sonic X had. It had a TV show! Is there a game coming out called Sonic Universe? Is there a new show being worked on called Sonic Universe? I just don't think that by dropping the Sonic X label, that Sonic Universe is going to pick right up where Sonic X was...in marketability and readership. To me, it sounds like a Sonic Super Special run where it really has no real outside support and is a standalone issue. But I'm sure Archie and Sega have mulled over the possibility that marketing Sonic Universe would be different from the main series and Sonic X. Do you think Sonic issues 193, 194, or 195 will include a adaptation of Sonic Unleashed? Ian has already said that a adaptation has been made, but he's not sure when it will come.

Some new villain perhaps or maybe someone who is a neutral being watching over the events at hand? I see this Scourge's war on Mobius arc is still going to last for a bit. Timon: Boy, he looks blue... Pumbaa: I'd say brownish-gold Timon: No no no, I mean he's depressed Pumbaa: Oh...

Infact it was a gameshow called Knuckles the Echidna. It didn't last long though because he never asked particularly hard questions =D

Plus he was riding off the success of S&K and Sonic 3. He was the MOST popular character besides Sonic, at the time. Now, Knuckles isn't even in the top ten of most favorite sonic character. Shadow took that spot...and I wouldn't be surprised if he got his own comic series now. I'm just making a case for continuing Sonic X (as it had toys, books, DVDs, plushies all of which have done pretty good marketing wise). Sonic X was a spin off of the current sonic games...which is now being replaced with Sonic Universe. Which is a spin off of a spin off. So a spin off is replacing a spin off as the next sonic book comic title. And it will add yet another sonic universe to the mix to keep track of, and Sonic Universe is such a fitting title...on that basis alone.

Sega wants to have the comic fit it into the Sonic X anime, so they can't just change the rules. Ian already commented that he is getting a little bit more freedom for the final issue. I think Sonic Universe will sell very well, if only because Sonic will be in it. People continue to buy Sonic comics, and I'm sure that Universe will sell well too. Sonic Universe has the push of Sonic, and that will probably be enough. Not to mention it sounds like it may continue whatever happened in the end of Sonic X, or at the very least, the Shadow vs. Metal Sonic battle.
