Been wanting to start reading these, because there has not been a good sonic game in a while, and I love the Sonic Universe, but I have some questions.
1) Which is better to pick up? Sonic The Hedgehog (the main series) or Sonic Universe? (I can only afford one right now, due to so many DC and Marvel comics lol)
and
2) Where is a good jumping on point for Sonic the main comic and/or Sonic Universe? Can I jump on now and be ok?
Also in case you care, I do plan to pick up the Sonic Archives (starting with 0) so I will be reading the old stuff at some point, but I want to start reading the new stuff now.
Thanks!

Moved as this is about Archie Sonic, not STC. Sonic Universe is kind of a supplement to the main StH comic, so it's a good one to get if you like the extended cast. Right now Universe is running a Chaotix story, for instance. If you want to see Sonic himself and his closest pals, then I'd recommend the main comic. As for a starting point... phew, good question. Not at the first one, if you ask my opinion! Having said that, it's been pretty good for a while.

The comic has a handy recap page and cast list with every issue, so you can jump in at any point and you should be okay.

Thanks guys, I may just pick up this months issue, since it seems like the start of a new story arc in the main sonic comic.
Also sorry I posted this in the wrong spot lol.

nice. Good thing you're enjoying it. (at least someone does >_>) *says so just to keep her point*Do people not normally enjoy it? I mean its a change, going from Teen, Teen+ rated comics from DC and Marvel to this, a comic book thats way lighter. But thats cool with me, its nice to have a change during a month filled with darker themes.

It had a tough time with some of us a few years back - partly because many of us prefer Sonic the Comic (and, you know, country bias), mainly because some of the early/middle issues were pretty awful.
Nobody's really harped on about the bad times for a while now, though. People who enjoy it read it in peace and comment positively on here, so I don't really know what Eleonora's getting at. :/

mainly because some of the early/middle issues were pretty awful. And by some, we mean many (especially if the credits said "Written by Ken Penders"). The quality shot up under Ian Flynn, who has his faults but can still crank out a fun comic.

Do people not normally enjoy it? . I think as this is the STC/Fleetway fan forum, you'll find most people here prefer it to Archie Sonic. However, I think there a good few people here who still read Archie and enjoy it. I don't like the earlier issues, they feel like the writing team didn't know whether to keep it silly like AoSTH or more serious like SatAM. Recently it has been rather good, though. Anyways... we have an Archie thread somewhere if you want to see what people here think of it.

Yeah, I do feel throughout this thread as if Mr.Dylan here hasn't realised this is a forum for the wrong comic That said, we do have discussions on the American Sonic comics on the "Examples of Archie" thread.

Oh, I know this is for Sonic the comic, which is the UK one right? When I started this thread I did not, but I figured it out lol. And ya I saw that thread, I will be joining that discussion as soon as I catch up a little more, so I don't feel left out.
