And Streets of Rage has lots of potential as a gritty, GCPD style comic story. Done. You know what would be an amazing strip? Panzer Dragoon that would be an epic mind blowing comic. If it doesn't get done I will write and draw it my self And done.

I also think that obscure Decap Attack game might make a decent series.

Nah, it's not happening. I can't see any non-Sega suggestions being done in STC-O for various reasons; loyalty to the original comic, some companies being a bit... finicky with their property being used, etc. At least we know Sega are on our side.
I would love to do a Mega Man though, even if it weren't anything to do with STC-O. God I love Mega Man. Can you tell?

I call dibs on writing the plot if this ever comes into any project =P (then again, my plots tend to be a more real take on the subject, so Mega Man Megamix has it covered :L) As for strips...a NiGHTS one wouldn't be ignored :3

Did someone suggest Virtua Fighter yet? Or am I the first?

It's been said plenty of times, but STC really missed a trick by not doing a NiGHTS strip. I'd like to see Ristar return, too.

Literally was not a concern when we put this project together. Sega's dubious acknowledgement of STC Online is a relatively recent development. Heck some of us were doing it in spite of Sega. And as recognised upthread, avoiding all non-Sega content isn't in any way adherence to the original ; how else do you explain Mutant League, Sparkster or Marko's Magic Football - all under licence from other companies? Sega's descent into console oblivion surely ought to be embraced as an opportunity rather than as an extreme restriction. Of course all that said the only STC strips that ever really took off were Sonic and Decap Attack, so I'm usually inclined to say focus on those where possible.

Sega's descent into console oblivion surely ought to be embraced as an opportunity rather than as an extreme restriction. I can't say for all of them, but for Sparkster at least, wasn't it assumed by the writers and editors of STC that it was a Sega property, and they stopped when they got told it wasn't? Also, just because Sega are okay with us doesn't mean other companies would be. Sites get closed, videos get puled, and stuff stops in pursuit of copyright infringement, and just because Sega will let us promote Sonic and Sega stuff via a fan comic, it doesn't mean other companies, upon seeing their works grace the pages, wouldn't want to bend us over in a court of law, take down the websites trousers, legally spread our legs and rape us in legal prosecution. Furthermore, staying away from the sexually suggestive courtroom, it's not true to the original spirit of STC "The official Sega comic" to run stories about Mario, Snake, or any of the multitude of other companies stuff. It would just be unfaithful, and would probably draw in a lot of confusion from everyone, not to mention attract an audience who have no interest in Sonic, but demand more of the non-Sega stuff.

No. They were quite clear on the fact it was licenced from Konami. It stopped because, I assume, that particular licence only ran for six issues, and it was the last of the non-Sega properties to be licenced - presumably the first victim of STC's annual budget cuts. Like I said, this wasn't something that remotely concerned us when we started out (although we were sure to cover our asses with a disclaimer); it's a flagrant trademark infringement, but nobody cares. I think I've comprehensively demonstrated that it is. Especially given that Mario and Sonic are appearing in games together these days - if STC was still going we would surely have seen a Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games tie-in story. Attracting a wider audience is a bad thing now?

I used to draw tons of Mega man stuff all the time and with the life drawing practice I know have I should be able to rock this one out, no pun intended ha but seriusly though I doubt its going to happen even if Capcom have decided to not give dam about their main mascot any more . Le sigh.......

You mean like how Archie, an official Sega licence Comic that has been putting out issues every month did a Mario and Sonic tie in? Attracting a wider audience is a bad thing now?[/quote] Attracting an audience who have no interest in the main content (Hint: It's Sonic), would be bad as we'd get an influx of people wanting nothing but more of the other strips. We're actually pretty lucky that Sega fans are mostly Sonic fans anyway, due to Sega's inability to sustain other long running franchises with regular new games, but do one Mario story and you'll get Nintendo fans wanting Pokémon, Zelda, Metroid, etc. stories. and getting annoyed that they didn't come out. It would be false advertising, and would only long term annoy people.

They did a great version of Mutant League Football in their Sonic comic as well. Actually, Archie's arrangement - as far as I can tell - means that they only ever have the scope to produce material relating to Sonic in their title - not even other Sega properties. STC and Archie's Sonic comic were very different beasts - different nations, different publishers, different creative personnel, different content, different source material, different format, different licensing arrangements, different audience, heck a different title. Any direct comparison is usually an exasperatingly false analogy. So what? Long as they're reading it.

I dunno about Mario & Sonic in general, but I'd bet STC would try to run a Sonic & Mario At The London Olympics adaptation if it was still running. (And do a thinly veiled "Sonic & Marxio" if they couldn't) Egmont's Marketing would salivate at the thought. I'd like to see Ristar return, too. There were big plans for Ristar, so I hope Jamie gets the time to let them loose someday.

I can not help but feel that If STC was still around STC wold become one of the biggest and best selling sonic mercy when the olympics came out and would have introduced the world to more of sonic the comic as like you said Egmont would not miss an opportunity like this to slip up. Hey We might even have had SEGA put in Nigel Kitchins version of sonic in the game. That would be friggin SCHWEEETT!

I'd be amazed if anyone at Sega understood that there's any distinction between the two characterisations, to be honest.

True But it would be weird though as essentially there would be two sonics in a way.

I'm pretty sure if Mario/Nintendo fans saw a fan-comic called "Sonic the Comic Online" that was full of Sonic and had a single Mario strip related to his game where he hung out with Sonic, they wouldn't expect it to start running lots of Nintendo strips.
