Description
STH #241: Eggman tries to shake Team Fighters off his trail while the Death Egg soars over Mercia. He empowers Titan Metal Sonic with a Krudzu sprig and deploys it, but Sonic destroys the robot with a spin dash and it crashes into water.For those of you suspected it was Shard on page 4 , all I can say is.... lucky guess.
Shard's presence at Albion is a remnant from the rewrite of Endangered Species. After the story was butchered and the echidnas hurriedly nixed from the picture, Shard showed up to help Team Fighters against Metal Knuckles. Even though Shard justifies this as a mission from Harvey Who in Endangered Species, his surveillance is purely superficial in Sonic Retold when Team Fighters can pull through on their own. Regardless, I decided to keep Shard in the scene because he originally proposed a means to deroboticize Sally with the Krudzu. Here, I rearranged things so that Silver is the one who comes up with the idea and suggests it to Shard. It's a subtle change that's meant to show how Sonic Retold still follows the original timeline, but adds a small twist to it. Giving responsibility of the Krudzu to Silver enlarges his role in the story while saving Shard's role for a separate plotline later. Small tidbit: since it's morning in Albion, you can see it's still night in New Mobotropolis. That's time zones, folks. 
Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed the story so far. I'm taking a break next week for the holidays, so the next page will be up on New Year's Day. However, Patreon donators can get their page on Christmas Day!

i gota admit in the main series i felt some poetry that the Krudzu was the last major baddie Sonic faught before the reboot, since it first appeared in the first ever issue.

I see what you did, no Metal-Knuckles so no original continuity, wich means, no Shard involucration, then Silver goes to Krudzu instead of team Fighters plus Shard fighting him and then they use it to change Sally back..

Well, there will certainly be changes to events after Sonic #243, that's for sure. It's true that Metal Sonic is not around, so Shard will get a chance to shine in the future.

he will beat down metal if he dares to show up, but this time I hope he didn't end up destroyed, but knowing you, I know you will do great.

THE KRUDZU!?!? Didn't Eggman wipe that junk out to save Sonic's doom for himself?

That plant has the horrible tendency to get back, regardless of how many times people try to kill it.

1-I believe one of the calamities of Silver’s time was an overgrown Krudzu, so his knowledge of how it works it justified.
2-The Krudzu survives the nuclear strike on Robotropolis. There not doubt some still remains.

1-Good idea to NOT have the robot who was formerly made to kill Sonic go up against a murderous parasite that infects machines and makes them stronger, not to mention more evil. Good call, Silver. Otherwise, Nicole would've been super pissed at you.
2-Wait, so no Trash The Devil to take all the echidnas away? I'm cool with that. In the original story, Trash came out of nowhere and was the opposite of a Deus Ex Machina. A "DIABOLUS Ex Machina", if you will.

This comic had me interested as soon as I looked at it! Very remarkable, and about as awesome as Archie Sonic Online. Can't wait for more!

While I found this page an interesting segue to the next part of the story, the Krudzu-solution seems like a very science-based theory, which is not exactly my impression of Silver's mindset. He comes from an apocalyptic desert of technology, so would this naturally occur to him? My intuition says no.
To address the Krudzu itself, I can see where some vague idea of a living thing harvesting mechanics might possibly give rise to the opposite through reverse-engineering... but that's not the same as derobotization. If anything, it leaves Sally in an even worse position since she'd essentially be a robot feeding on people's flesh.
One thing I admired in H Beam Piper's work was the natural, realistic applications of science. It wasn't taken for granted that spaceships simply "worked", but the chemistry of fuel and radiation-resistant armor was explained along with the physics of creating a gravity-field in outer space. A magical foozle like the Krudzu feels cheap because in real life, 99.999% of the time it takes more than finding the thing to create the antidote. They need to figure out what it's made of, how it works, how to apply that knowledge... and there's no certainty they'll do it right.

I understand your reservations about the Krudzu. I kept that derobotization possibility in there to respect Archie's plotline, but I can't say how it plays out without spoiling the surprise. Just wait and see....

Quick question will your comics lead up the worlds collide arc and something different entirely.

YOU ARE AN AMAZING ARTIST AND A GREAT STORYTELLER KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
p.s When we will get to see Bunnie and Antoine?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a good question. TBH, I haven't developed Bunnie's side of the story because I have too many plotlines going on already. For the sake of coherence, I want to resolve a couple of them before shifting focus to her. However, Antoine is still hospitalized in New Mobotropolis, and he'll show up much sooner. As for Worlds Collide, I don't want to give too much away on that aspect. This page is all you'll get for now.

Hey, as long as it's not a quick-fix, I'm liable to be content at the revelation.

I'm sorry, but I think you ended the situation in Albion too quickly. You completely disregarded the part played by Thrash and him trying to get rid of the echidnas. And before you say anything, I know the original version of Endangered Species arc was meant to end on a happier note than the version that got published after the lawsuit, but Thrash was still meant to be a factor in the original. If you want your comic to follow the original intentions for the old comic as much as possible, you can't just toss away things like that. And you can't pretend Thrash doesn't exist either, because he appeared in Sonic Universe #9-12, long before this.

Who says I'm done with Albion? Just because the invasion has been repelled doesn't mean everything is resolved in the city. There's a lot more work to be done rebuilding Albion with the D.E.L. and Knuckles returning to his people. You probably imagined the battle would be a typical four-issue arc, but doing so would mean prolonging Team Fighters' stay in Albion. I'm tired of seeing Sonic get delayed from his mission time and time again, and I wanted to get that crap out of the way quickly so he can resume his search for Sally.
A few readers have asked me about Thrash. The answer I always give is that there's too much negative association surrounding Thrash with his role in nixing the echidna race, so it's best to leave him out of the picture. I want the conflict in Albion to revolve exclusively around the echidnas, and tossing in Thrash as an additional antagonist adds nothing to the story. The goal of Sonic Retold isn't to follow Ian Flynn's original intentions verbatim, but to express my own vision for the continuation series, retaining favourable story elements while removing redundant ones - like Thrash. Remember that during Thrash's last appearance in SU #12, he parted with Knuckles on cordial terms to stay in Downunda, so there's no call to reintroduce him here. Still, if you insist that Thrash reappear in Albion, Archie Sonic Online plan to include him in their adaptation of Endangered Species . For my part, you'll still get your mileage out of Albion in Sonic Retold without him. The city will play a large part in the comic for many issues to come.

..considering the naure of that thing I wouldn’t gamble with trying to tame it, but good on silver for innovative thinking

*snrk* Silver is channeling his inner Superman. That made my day.
Also, there's a little error with the text. In the first bubble, when Shard is saying "...them. They even took down Titan Metal Sonic after it was infected...", the last parts of "them", "Metal" and "was" are slightly cutoff.

I made that error while trying to correct a previous mistake. It's fixed now.

Holy smokes, you're right! How come I never noticed that before? Thanks for pointing it out, I've fixed it now. This page is dedicated in your honour, Wankers-Cramp.

Nice, your following that idea of that planet thing can be a de-robotiziser,
I'll be honest with you, most of the things with event on Mobius makes no sense, so why not
