    The world\'s most way past cool comic

    I was just browsing through my news feeder today and I saw an interesting post on the Archie Comics Sonic Blog. After 14 years of producing Sonic the Hedgehog comic books each month (for better or for worse), Archie has been recognized for having the longest running comic book based on a video game. For some this news is sore, but for those who still enjoy the Archie comics, this is great to hear.

    For those who aren’t familiar with the series, Sonic’s venture into the American world of comicbooks started in Febuary of 1993 with a “zero” issue to promote the idea and see where the series could go from there. Ever since, Archie has been printing new comics every month and is the only Sonic the Hedgehog medium to continue the SatAM storyline.

    Personally, I’m a fan of the series because I’m a fan of the SatAM story. =) So way to go Archie….but please stop with the evil twins shit =<

    Spaz\'s cover of Sonic Archives #8Patrick “Spaz” Spaziante is best-known in the Sonic community as a penciler and cover artist for the Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic X Archie comics, and has become one of the favorite artists for the series in the process. Lately, though, Spaz has been branching out with his work, helping out in television shows such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and TMNT . In an interview conducted by IGN Comics, the editors of Marvel’s 2008 “What If?” series revival, Justin Gabrie, Nate Cosby, and Mark Paniccia, revealed that Spaz is slated to do the art for “What If the Runaways became the Young Avengers?”

    This won’t be the first time Spaz has worked with Marvel, having drawn for Muties Issue #2. “If you dig his funny animal stuff, wait till you see his take on the super hero genre,” states Gabrie.
