Woaahhhh this looks like it's gonna be crazy. Someone's gonna die. I really hope they don't pull some crap like they did with issue 100 and made it about Sonic Adventure. If 200 is about Sonic Chronicles I'm gonna be bummed out.

Purple ? Evil Sonic turns purple when super ???
I was kinda hoping for Red fur , yellow eyes since he has Sonic`s color but the way other around

FINALLY!!
Never woulda guessed that Super Scourge would be purple...
But, why'd his shoes and jacket change too? Sonic's don't while he's super.
Awesome artwork. I'ma like this issue

It actualy makes sence he is purple! When Sonic goes Super Sonic his color sceme goes to the oppisite of the color wheel. This is going to be, the best comic of the year probably!

I love Sonic! I made a club called Freedom Fighters Club Inc. I hope you have good pics to copy from. And I have a question. Sonic likes Amy, Blaze, and Sally for example why don't boys tell the girls they like them? Other question. Why doesn't Blaze appear in comics or the Sonic X show?

I'm sorry but as a long time reader Scourge just looks stuiped. not ragging on the artist cus he can draw way better then i can and gets paid for it but dang. i miss the old plots of sonic. go to the city and screw with robuttnick and sonic always had his handy power rings, plus sally and nicole. so many adventures. i miss Spaz.

I had an idea for a comic. It may not sound so cool but Scourge turns and works with the Freedom Fighters? When I make up Sonic stories Scourge is a good guy and he stopped liking Fiona and is now drooling over my character Aqui.(So is Shadow, Mighty, Manic, and Silver.)

Well, this looks interesting. I had kinda hoped they'd stick to the traditional, with yellow fur and red eyes (and having the sclera remain white), but, oh well. Ye guys are the bosses.
Now, if only these comics would come out in Germany, too, so I would actually be able to read 'em instead o' just looking up about them on Wikipedia and wherenot... D=

You should do an episode where sonic and shadow get chaos control and turn into super shadow and supersonic and try to defeat eggman from domminating the world.

this will be brutal because scourge took on shadow so easily in his normal form! sonic just may use his hyper form

2 things i hope sonic does not seem weak in this one and i hope fiona returns to the freedom fighters(tails should (SLAP) some sense in that girl!(SLAP as in sonic 172)

Amazing. But hears the thing. Are they ever gonna bring the Super Emeralds into the comic? Cause a duel between Hyper Sonic and Hyper Scrouge would be EPIC!!

If they made the 100th issue about Sonic Adventure, then most likely the 200th issue will be about Sonic the Hedgehog for the Xbox360. I mean, with the arrival of Silver in #194, it's pretty obvious. I'm sure it'll be cool, though. And Scourge is awesome! I'm loving his super form.

the reason he's purple is cause gold is getting kinda old so they wanted to change things up.
not to mention do to Scourge being green, they had to change the color.
AWESOME
i like the Robotnik eyes

sonixen you are right sonic 200 will be great but sonic next gen is the worst sonic game. If it is about sonic next gen at least archie comics will make it seem better

It would be nice to see final fall from sonic xg were angel island falls down to the ground with sonic on it when facing eggman or scourge that would be some of a fight you think ?

i thought scourge would be purple. if you look on negative with a phone and look at regular sonic you get yellow and with scourge you got purple

i'm shure there is hedgehog havocpart 3 because now i was thinking that part should have super silver and super scourge fight at the last time.

Posted on December 10, 2008 14:37
Ok....couple things....1.)I agree...the super emeralds NEED to make their way into the comic....2.)I don't care when and I doubt they'll do it in the games, but there needs to be fusion....Only of Sonic and Shadow, but still.....and 3.)I may just be a major nerd, but technically that is Dark Super Scourge...You don't choose which form you take. It depends on how you feel. Like in Sonic X. Sonic goes Dark Super cause he's pissed off. He usually goes Super because he's always positive about things...Scourge is almost never a positive person...It should be called Dark Super Scourge. And finally 4.) I would really like to see Anti-Shadow. That would be awesome.

Posted on December 15, 2008 15:02
Ethier two things are gonna happen in #200 and that is theier gonna base the comic on another game or Sonic and Sally are going to get back together (that's what I'm rootin for:)

Posted on December 15, 2008 21:21
Dang it this looks soooo good. I`ve wondered if like since Silvy`s from the future like Shadows his dad?!! That would be sooo cool. Anything they choose will probably be really good! Anyway I have to get in I have not tried SonicGrams yet. ;p

Posted on December 24, 2008 09:42
OK, I know I'm a liiiiiitle obsesive about this, but at the end of the comic, Sonic and Sally should make up like they were going to do in STH# 187 except they ACTUALLY do this time!
Posted by Some Dude | December 24, 2008 9:45 AM
Posted on December 24, 2008 09:45
Super Scourge is purple because when you invert green you get purple. This was chosen because blue inverted is yellow. This isn’t why Super Sonic is yellow but this idea fits well enough for the US Archie comics.

Posted on January 2, 2009 02:30
Not that I don't like Sonic or anything, but it's about time they stop making him the big hero ALL THE TIME. I bet all the other freedom fighter groups are gonna have to save his butt this time.

I do not think that Eggman will die at the end of the series, in the end, I think he will be locked up for good in case he will not harm the world ever again.
