Description Enerjak > Silver.

I've always been a fan of Enerjak. I always appreciate a villain who knows he's evil and exploits it to their fullest, but with the newest incarnation of him Ian Flynn and Tracy Yardley have taken him to a new level. I've loved the Egyptian influences that have always been his signature look, but before he reminded me more of an Egyptian Pharaoh whereas now he reminds me of an Egyptian General. A worthy redesign for sure.

This was pencilled before the recent developments in the arc or I would have a different layout/design for this piece. Any Other-M (the Sonic fancomic not the Metroid game) fans out there know what I'm talking about. I see this as the way this arc ends up. I'm practically certain of it. Decided to include mostly Sega characters for... God knows whatever reason, but I did.

Pretty satisfied with it although I'm inexperienced with alternative light sources. It took much longer than usual to finish as I was experimenting alot with the lighting and textures. I'm not that pleased with how the cast lighting from the soul sphere turned out but can't figure how to fix it, so if anyone has any advice I'd be more than happy to hear it.

Sega aside, Archie wouldn't even let him win if they were given the opportunity to. The idea of Archie letting a bad guy succeed is downright inconceivable.

Very nice art. I just got the second issue for this arc and I'm amazed to see they called back to that old alternate timeline. I love the idea of the prelate machines powered by the lifeforce or soul or whatever of living beings. I bet Enerjak is saving Sonic as his trump card if things get out of hand. I'm willing to bet if Enerjak does manage to do that so Silver though he might find it does not obey him like the others.

That would be pretty BA if Enerjak used Sonic against them. Hell, he's already used JS. If he doesn't employ Sonic now I'll be disappointed.

Please do, and thank you very much.

Poor Silver, he's such a sweetie. They made him naive in the 06 game but in archie he looks and acts better. Except he doesn't know about Mogual or else he wouldn't be learning anything from him.
Have you been reading the latest issues with Jeffory going traitor again? No one seems to be thinking of poor Hershey and where the hell she is! I'm worried.

JeremyAcorn In reply to Eszra01 [2011-03-10 08:51:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Hershey has been a point of concern. If Geoffrey turned like he did perhaps the worst has happened to Hersh. Here's hoping she pulls through. Even though she's a small character by comparison most fans would like to see her pull through Geoff's treachery.

I rememeber him saying something about her being deep under cover. If it involves a 6 feet anywhere in there I'm gonna be mad! Shes his wife for godsake!
What I'm intrested in is this most recent issue. When Sonic and Sally were on their date.Spoilers in case you haven't read it yet.
Geoffrey was watching them with this sad look and when he went back to that damn wizard, he looked mad upset. It's weird. Does he still like Sally or something or does he just miss Hershey?
And if he misses his wife then why the hell is he doing this?!
The intire gone bad thing again is getting tired.

"I rememeber him saying something about her being deep under cover. If it involves a 6 feet anywhere in there I'm gonna be mad! Shes his wife for godsake!"

I'm sorry, but this actually made me laugh out loud. ...Alot of people are asking this question, but I'm sure Ian has something tricky up his sleeve regarding her.

Yeah, I s'pose Geoffrey would still have feelings for Sally. They have pretty extensive history after all. And the fact that he was always competing with Sonic for her- to see Sonic get the last laugh would be kinda unnerving. I'm actually surprised that Sega went for getting Sonic and Sally back together. I thought their official policy was to keep Sonic single. That and Amy being so defensive in favor of them astounds me. If anything it looks like Sega is finally warming up to the Archie 'verse.

Oh boy..
Where to start...

Lets get this out in the air. Archie and Sega "do not" work togather. The only thing Sega related involved in the comics would be the characters which are licenced to Archie from Sega. Ian makes the storys and everyone else takes care of making it. Sega has NO say. Please spread the word to all who do not know.

Also I'm happy I made you laugh.

That's not true. Sega reads over and has to approve every script produced before it can be drawn. They have mandates concerning the portrayal of characters and it's generally their say how and when a game promotion/tie-in is done. Some stories have had to've been rewritten, or given dialogue and art tweaks, because of Sega's requests. No individual issue gets produced without their approval.

Eszra01 In reply to kureejiilea [2011-03-29 08:22:28 +0000 UTC]

If that were true Sonic would never have any kind of romance or love life seeing as Sega doesn't want him to.
I read in comics, and on artist pages that Yes Sega may request something altered, but in the long run have nothing to do with the comics other the licencing. Same thing with Satam. In an epsiode Sonic cried and Sega didn't like it and asked for him not to cry again. Guess what he did. Sonic Archie is an American published item not japanese.
Now I have heard of some things going in for approval from Ian Flynn, but other then that Archie and Sega are seperate.
Now it is true I can be wrong but until there is hard evidence, neither of our cases will stand.

kureejiilea In reply to Eszra01 [2011-03-29 15:50:41 +0000 UTC]

Sorry, but it is true. I know a number of the Archie staff personally.
First, Sega doesn't want Sonic in a serious, steady relationship. This was in response to a time in the comics when he was essentially considered engaged to Sally. It's that particular scenario they don't want occurring again. Similarly, they don't want the characters to age anymore -- when the previews for #160 came out, Sonic's line read that he should be called "sixteen" forever, and it was changed between then and print to "teen" by Sega. It was due to Sega that the original ending to Endgame was rewritten (they wanted Sally available for merchandising, which only really happened in Australia), and it was also why the original plans for #100 got shoved around (because they insisted on room being made to promote SA2). They also prevented Omega and Cream from appearing earlier (Omega was planned to first appear in #175 -- he was swapped out for Snively in a mech-suit). As a more recent example, Sega also made some last-minute alterations to the cover of Sonic Universe #21 (as in they did it themselves, not that they simply requested it). Sega also asked Archie to produce a special comic adaptation for Sonic and the Secret Rings, which they adapted to Flash and packaged with the game in some regions. It's not that "some things" go in for approval, it's every single thing, and it's always been that way. All the scripts, and then the art, and then the final product -- Sega has to approve of everything before it can be printed and published.

The things I learn these days.
But that does seem a little strange to me. Cause I'm sure I heard from a good source that Sega has limited pull in Archie Sonic. But then again they do have a Sally customed character at this one theme park in Japan. I say it once from a japanese family's photos on the internet.

Thank you very much, Wagner.

Enerjak is definitely an Archie Sonic comic character. He's been around for quite some time, but this is a brand new redesign of him thanks to and

He's probably the most heinous villain Sonic (or in this case, Silver) has ever encountered... and definitely one of my favorites.

I'm almost certain it's Knux, but not the previous Knuckles Enerjak. This is along the lines of M: XXYL so it's a future, alternate dimension version of Knuckles Enerjak. One that's far more badass.

I'm almost 100% sure it's Knux in this case. Given the story that's unfolding in Sonic Universe there's little chance of it being anyone else. You should check it out if you can. It stands to be the best SU arc ever!

Plus I'm sure Silver will find a way out of it.
