Clearly you were only searching from AOL or something 10-15 years ago. I would sometimes get rather bored as a lab monitor and search for weird stuff as I couldn't really work on any of my homework in the lab. I spent a few weeks collecting fonts, a great number of the 857 I currently have installed came from that period. I also spent about a month looking at horrible accident pictures on Ogrish or whatever is was.
Sometimes the links off simply strange sites led to more terrible stuff like you're talking about. Granted it was not so convenient as looking up some furry board or deviant art is today. And no that stuff isn't for me and I wasn't like the guy that always sat in the corner looking at porn all the time and would spastically start closing windows any time someone got up from their computer or came in the lab door.
Well ok, slightly more than 15 years ago. The internet was only just beginning to make sense to me (and most people) around 95-96, and I was only in 4th grade at the time. But my point was the same. Before that, I think there were just limited means for these types of people to get together.
As for this massive discussion of sonic comics. I stopped reading them around the 60s. I caught up with a couple during the whole sonic adventure type transition thing, which if I recall right, was done because the U.S. and Japanese marketing divisions were merged in some way, and they were trying to meld the different versions of sonic together. Which is also the reason why they started calling Robotnik Eggman around Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. All those adjustments to the continuity from then on seem to the the norm for most comics though. Although they seem to be more outlandish in the sonic comics. I guess that's fitting though since they're more cartoonish and out there than most other comics anyway.
I have been picking up the current issues because the covers are takes on the original genesis game covers. The story seems to have jumped to some alternate reality for a while which is based on the early games. Overall though, the tone is pretty much the same as I remember. The dialogue is pretty lame in parts though, and the flow seems kinda spotty. Sonic fell off a cliff or something and all of a sudden he's rescuing rotor. I know he's fast but it just wasn't clear. Or maybe I just don't read comics enough to read between the panels.
I noticed there seems to be a spinoff called Sonic Universe. I don't know what that's all about, but Sonic seems like a good series to spinoff into a different style of series. It would have been cool if they took this rebooting concept and made it into a more game inspired comic, and then continued the other story separately. Or maybe that's what they're planning.
