cor blimey, how long has it been since I last did a thread?
As some of you may know, there's been an ongoing marathon of Archie Sonic over at 4chan. And the idea of doing a recommended reading list for StC arose.
I personally think StC comes in so many flavours that any semblance of recommended reading is hard other than "Read all Knuckles stories", so I was wondering if you guys had suggestions to help me?

Any of the game tie-ins (maybe not Flickies' Island), Running Wild/Heroes and Villains, Robotnik Reigns Supreme arc, The Final Victory. The Commander Brutus and Agent X arcs.
Every Knuckles story. The first Cybernik story, Tekno's debut story.
Someone will suggest something awful to be hilarious and ironic. Ignore them.

Running Wild and all the canon stories up until 100.

They're all "canon".

Except the Trickster, of course. There was a treaty declaring it non-canon back in 2004 during the Shanghai Conference, signed by the Queen, Prince, and all of us.

Season Of Goodwill is a mustread. Except the Trickster, of course. There was a treaty declaring it non-canon back in 2004 during the Shanghai Conference, signed by the Queen, Prince, and all of us. Making people read The Trickster has been added to the Geneva Convention. |

I'd always recommend to start at Origin of Sonic and work your way up from there.
Girl Trouble for me is a must as it's Amy's debut and hints at Metallix's creation as well.
Anything to do with the Brotherhood of Metallix, the Sonic 3/& Knuckles stories, Brutus, Running Wild...
As for non-Sonics, that one for me is a little harder as I don't remember much. I'd say Mutant League as it was kinda funny. Shinobi vs the Four Elements was pretty cool too, even if it did go on a little bit.

Most of the ones I'd recommend have already been done so. In general I'd say start with either Super Sonic (issue 7) or Origin of Sonic (issue 8) and work your way from there. The ones before that, to be honest, are only average at best. Like others have said, the best stories would be the Metallix Saga (Sonic Terminator to Return of Chaotix), the Sonic 3/Sonic & Knuckles adaptations, Running Wild, The Final Victory, any of the Knuckles stories and the Chaos Saga all come recommended.

No idea how I forgot Return of Chaotix, it's easily one of the best stories.

Running Wild and Final Victory are simply a must.

I still really, really like Revolution. It was like everything that made STC great boiled down into one great four-parter.

The last Brutus story? That was a good one.

That was really great; Amy and Johnny become Badniks, Brutus was a formidable villain and it's pretty funny that Robotnik himself saved the day! XD
There was pretty nice build up to it as well, Brutus taking Johnny's brain pattern, Tails getting grounded by Brutus' fugly Badniks... great stuff.

Also, I did like Shortfuse busting out "I'm made of MEGATEL, the hardest metal on Mobius!", clearly setting up another bit of Shortfuse being awesome and beating baddies up...
...and Brutus replies "SO AM I!" and whacks him through the floor.
