Description Here's the final page of the first issue! What does Albion's loss mean in the grand scheme when Eggman has the Genesis Wave up his sleeve? Yes, I'm still keeping that master plan in the comic, only things may play out differently this time... Do you readers expect to see major changes to Mobius? Will Sonic team up with Mega Man again? How will Mecha Sally factor into this? I've also enabled the "Request Critique" function for this page if you want to review the issue as a whole. I'd love to know what you think.


CREATOR'S NOTES:
So now that the first issue is complete, let me give you some general notes. First, let me thank all of you who have stuck with the comic so far. While it took months to draw, I wrote this issue in only one day. I was pumped for this project and had the basic layout already planned in my head. The purpose of this issue was to introduce Team Fighters and the echidnas while wrapping up Endangered Species. Although ES was originally planned as a four-issue story, I disapproved of the concept to begin with. To me it just seemed like another unnecessary obstacle in Sonic's mission to retrieve Sally and I wanted to get it out of the way as quickly as possible. So while 19 pages might seem a bit short to liberate Albion, it's only because I was eager to steer the story back on track and move forward on the main quest. If you prefer a longer redaction of Endangered Species, Archie Sonic Online are currently working on an extended cut. Having said that, there's plenty still to do in Albion, and Knuckles has his part to play yet...

I've had a blast making Sonic Retold so far. I feel like I'm at my best when drawing this comic and my enthusiasm for more pages is strong. Production on the second issue is currently underway, but the truth is that things have been slow for one simple reason: I'm short on cash. Low funds means that I spend more time making a hard living than drawing the comic, which really bums me out. However, you can change that. I set up a Patreon page for readers who want to support this comic and expedite its development.

THE MORE PLEDGES I RECEIVE ON PATREON, THE SOONER I WILL BE ABLE TO RELEASE THE NEXT ISSUE!
I really want to get Sonic Retold #2 out as soon as possible, but with my low income it will be months before that happens. However, I want to give a major shout-out to LundenOtter for committing a whopping $100 a month to my Patreon - far in excessive of the highest reward tier! I can't thank him enough for that and it will help shorten the interval between issues. I hope others will consider donating; there are plenty of rewards on offer if you do, including writing an Off-Panel strip at the end of each issue! So with that said, thanks for reading Sonic Retold, and I hope you stick around while I work on the next part. Let's do it to it!

This was great! It was a nice way to fix the story arc but still retain an element of drama to it.

So the Genesis Wave is gonna still play a part? Hoo boy. I get the feeling that it's gonna end up with at least one issue with Sonic turned to a robot as well. I don't know why I feel that way after finishing reading this issue, but I do. But hey, at least I'm glad you're doing this. Keep up the good work.

OOOOOOHHHH I dont know what to feel... in one side, THE SUSPENSE is high, Eggman is going to do a Genesis Wave and he want to use to Sally to attacked her friends. In another side, this could be a good oportunity to rescue Sally. In another side Im enjoying so much with the comic its great and Im feeling so stress than we will be waiting moths to continue enjoying it. And in another side Im so sad for your situation and hope than you will be better soon, the comic is great but you are the most important... There are to MUCH SIDES!
Congratulations for the first Issue. Good luck in your Patreon. Im sure than the second will be so amazing too.

Welp, Lien-Da just found out that Eggy plans to wipe her, her people, and everything she knows straight off the map.

I predict she will react with backstabbing.

Backstabbing is Snively's speciality. Maybe Lien-Da has been hanging around him too long.

I can't help but hear the laughter from Sonic CD as he gloats.  Nice reveal on the Doctor,  especially with Lien-Da looking nice and apprehensive.  She may be an evil, selfish little brat, but she knows Eggman is a certifiable mad man.

I love this kind of Eggman. He's clearly evil and it's not often we see that in other media.

Eggman might want to keep his words in check. Sounds like a good dose of Freedom is coming and one Good Hedgehog is gonna give it to him. Time to save Sally!

Awesome work on this. Can't wait to see more.

RedBlueIsCool In reply to ??? [2017-03-06 16:39:10 +0000 UTC]

And there it is. He was revealed in the last page, but the big Egg needed a grand page to show just how menacing he really is. Kudos on that.

Oh no! Not genesis portals/resets/brain hurty stuff!  Didn't archie torture the viewers enough with those? Oh well.

Well, I'd say it's best not to drag out a story for more than one issue if it's more of a plot point/tie up arc. Where material gets heavy is where you want to put most emphasis. Good choice. Thankfully you have the freedom to tell the story as you see fit. What I'm wondering is how long you plan on doing this all. Or if you have a clear cut ending.

Mega Man in Sonic retold? As neat as it would be to see more Blue Bomber, I'd say probably not. Because:

A) It's Sonic Retold. Mega Man isn't the star here.

B) Glitcher sez since Capcom has forsaken Mega that he feels no need to continue on with MM artworks or promoting our robot friend in general. (Even though there's going to be that 2017 cartoon, doubt that will make Rock a household property though)

Good work so far Glitcher. If anything I'm impressed that YOU have stuck with this for so long. I'm sure it takes a lot of hard work and effort to make these pages look good.

glitcher In reply to THE-Julian-Cabrera [2017-03-07 06:32:03 +0000 UTC]

I'm still on board for plenty more. Before I drew this comic, I wrote an angry email to Archie, complaining about the poor quality of the comics and suggestions on how to save it. I can always reread that as a motivation letter to keep me going with this project.

THE-Julian-Cabrera In reply to glitcher [2017-03-07 16:15:15 +0000 UTC]

I understand completely. I personally don't find the reboot bad. I find it boring. Which is worse. At least you can make fun of something that is bad. The reboot just makes me want to zzzzzz.

Holy hell! This has been AMAZING!! It'll be hard waiting months for the next issue, but I've waited 4 years since the damned reboot for something like this, I can wait a little longer. Not sure about the SGW still being a thing, didn't care for the crossover myself, but I'll give your take on it a chance. As long as it doesn't end with the destruction of the old continuity, and childish redesigns like Archie pulled, I'm sure I'll love it. Excellent story and art! X)
