Description So here's an introduction page to the comic. I wanted to do a Bond intro, but I couldn't get Shirley Bassey on the phone. I debated whether I should include this at all or just let the story unfold by itself. However, since this comic adheres strictly to the continuity of the original timeline, I felt it best to provide a recap to inform readers on when this takes place.

From a narrative standpoint, Endangered Species #1 seemed like the logical starting point for my comic. It was the last issue in the series to feature characters from the original continuity, but the dialogue was still heavily edited due to legal shenanigans (you can tell by the different font Archie used). This is a good place to resume Team Fighters' quest and revise their encounter with the echidnas. Other Sonic fans have attempted this before. A couple years ago, FritzyBeat worked on his version of Endangered Species with other artists, which was sadly left unfinished, while Archie Sonic Online are planning to revisit the story some time in the future. My comic should provide the first full unofficial redaction of Endangered Species in a more copacetic form.

On a related note, someone asked me last week if my comic had any relation to Ian Flynn's notes "Lost Hedgehog Tales ". This is half true. My comic was originally intended to be an adaptation of the abandoned ideas in LHT, but I started writing the script before Flynn posted the first chapter. Back then, the script's working title was "Sonic Classic", but I didn't care much for that because it sounded like a flavour of crisps or something. I planned on retitling it "Lost Hedgehog Tales" (with Flynn's permission) later, but so far Flynn refuses to post more chapters of LHT with which to substantiate my comic. I realized that as my comic progresses along a different path from the little information we have on LHT, readers might find the growing divergence more vexing if they share the same title. I knew I needed a new title, so after much thought I came up with "Sonic Retold". It seemed to fit.

So the short answer is: My comic has no substantial relation to Lost Hedgehog Tales. The story is entirely of my own design. I hope you enjoy the result.

Yo! Sorry for the late reply, I've been away from DA for some months, the reason for which I explained here . Anyway, I'm flattered you would want to dub my comic! My work hasn't had that honour yet, but I would be delighted to see the result. If you ever get around to it, be sure to send me a link.

quick version of the introduction: Sonic retold happens in the time period of sonic comic 243, and it is going to start in a new fashion way...

it is awesome that the old timeline of Mobius will live on in the fanon, I do like the new timeline but I don't like how they took out the characters because of well you know

and I use to be on Penders side until well found out a little more about the stuff that went on there.........but anyway at least the fans will keep those characters alive

This sounds good, i was expecting this to take place the very moment of the issue 247 for obvious reasons but i cannot deny what are you doing here actually gave me good feelings of nostalgia

Archie Sonic Online are setting their main comic after Sonic #247. You can always read that if you prefer to start later in the timeline, but I'll get there eventually...

Well color me intrigued. I stopped reading around the time that Naugus and Geoffrey took over. Like after the thing where Mina was scared of Nicole. Oh no wait, Sal got roboticized...it's slowly coming back to me. Gah! It's been years... Eh. I'm sure I'll catch up. Anyways at a glance, your art is looking better than the official stuff. So yay. This should be fun!

I know it's been years since the original continuity and I don't expect readers to remember every single detail. I'll post periodic recaps of previous issues wherever it's relevant to the plot. Hope you stick around!

Honestly I'm surprised you decided to do this. Considering you said you don't think of yourself as a writer. Well, despite my skepticism on most ongoing comics today knowing how to build a narrative, I do wish your success on this.

A sharp observation. The format for this intro page was inspired by the one in SSS#2 - Brave New World. I'm delighted that you noticed the similarity.

Eh, I'm not sure why people want to redo Endangered Species so much. It breaks the point of being a continuation, if the writers of it just ignore what came before because they don't like it. That's a problem I have in ASO, as well.

glitcher In reply to Mavrickindigo [2016-10-24 16:36:47 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure I understand your objection. I'm not ignoring what happened before Endangered Species, I'm respecting it. I'm just starting here because that's the de facto point where the timeline became skewed before the crossover officially rebooted the series.

It will surely be great ! Im looking forward to read the comic.
The artwork is nice.
And nice you let the word WON appear with the capital letter. Though I don't know if it was intended. Best of luck and see you next Monday for the next page I guess ?

Arineange In reply to glitcher [2016-10-24 18:53:51 +0000 UTC]

Like MarekSterling said, I was refering to the first big capital lettre of each of the three paragraph. My bad, I wasn't really clear.
So I have my answer, this was not intended
Though that's one of the first thing I noticed
