What do y'all think of these fancy pantsy new reprint thingermajigs?
I have 3 reasons why I think they suck donkey dongs:
3. They only reprint the main series.
At first, what with The Beginnings and the first 4 archives, it was fine, you know, just they early, humor-focused, shorter story-centered comics. But then it started in volume 5, issues 17 and 18 had those Sally back-ups that continued in Sonic In Your Face Special. Then ish 20 continued in the 3-issue Sally miniseries. Now you have the Mecha Madness storyline currently being reprinted, WITHOUT the Mecha Madness Special! Madness! this will continue to grow worse, with Sonic 56 being the epilogue of Knuckles 7-9, and Sonic 58 being chapter 4 of the Rob O' The Hedge storyline. Then practically all the Specials fit in with the Sonic series. This sucks! One my protest: "But now they're reprinting Sonic Select with the Specials" to thee i say Bah! what asinine formatting is this? Rubbish!
2. They are measly digest size
Pffft, digest size is codswallop. Little tiny sized pages, you need a telescope to read em! The format is shite! Who wants little tiny books? no one! we want nice shiny prestige format pages! Also, what's the deal with the measly "4-issues only per volume" lark? Infidels! Does Archie know how to print comics or not? We want big, 12-issue, Masterwork-style hardcover collections, with special features galore! House Ads and Letters Pages too! where be those?
Quick question: do these Archives reprint every single story, even the lil one-pagers? If not, one more thing to complain about!
1. They are driving down the price of back issues!
Some my think that's a good thing. Those people are nubs! My Sonic 0-3 and 1-9 are worth significantly less than in 2005! Feh! How will I pay for another quarter of college now? I kid, i kid. But srsly, the reprinted issues are worth half of what they were 2-3 years ago.
