Sonic The Hedgehog#100 spoilers and cover!!! Posted by Ultra Hedgehog on April 10, 2001 SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #100 Written by Karl Bollers and Ken Penders, art by Ron Lim, Jim Amash and Penders. "Reunion." Sonic and Princess Sally reunite for the first time since Sonic was divested of his knighthood, but it's not quite what the heroic hedgehog had in mind. Ironically, it all takes place in that mechanized metropolis of Robotropolis, but that's not the most shocking surprise: the bittersweet reunion is made even more so by the loss of one of Knothole's own. Plus: another Knuckles back-up story. The recent exploits and intrigue of Knuckles collide in one combustible story, as Knuckles faces off against Dmitri and the Dark Legion. The fact of literally everyone on Mobius hangs in the balance, not to mention Knuckles' family and friends, helplessly trapped in another zone. 32 pages, $1.99, ships on July 27. Well there you have it ladies and gentlemen, the spoilers and cover of Sonic The Hedgehog#100. And do you notice something about this cover and one of the characters thats different? Take a close look at Rotor. That's not the Archie Rotor. It's the SatAM season 2 Rotor!!! Cool, huh? Oh, in case that pic dun work, click the link. Prolly already knew that though, huh? Sonic#100 black and white cover http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0104/10/sonic100.htm ------ Posted by Chordsy Kudos to you and Dubs for getting that up here so quick ^_^ And yes, Spaz's current style for Rotor definitely makes him look more like he did in the good ol' days of SatAM.. And it would have been a very nice cover if it weren't for the fact that Bunny still has those stupid Victoria's Secret brand implants.. -Chordsy ------ *squeals and hops around like a loony* Posted by Sonicboom13 I WANNA KNOW WHO THE UV IS! o@;;;; I say it's Geoffrey..... ~Jamina ------ It's Time To Play "Name That Redshirt" Posted by Daniel J. Drazen [snip] : "Reunion." Sonic and Princess Sally reunite for the first time since Sonic was divested of his knighthood, but it's not quite what the heroic hedgehog had in mind. Ironically, it all takes place in that mechanized metropolis of Robotropolis, but that's not the most shocking surprise: the bittersweet reunion is made even more so by the loss of one of Knothole's own. So now, like corporate lawyers, we need to define "loss" and "Knothole's own." "LOSS": As the fate of Lupe proved and based on Ken's comments about her, "loss" does not necessarily equal "demise" in the accepted sense, let alone the comic book sense. Theoretically, she's still in reserve (waiting for someone to come up with a good idea as to what to do with her -- I figure that'll be some time around the next Ice Age). More likely, someone will be captured and face being roboticized; even that fate isn't guaranteed, though. "KNOTHOLE'S OWN." The floor's open for nominations. Unfortunately, at this point, between S95 and S96, there are too many variables and too many future plot developments waiting to be developed. Any guessing at this point will be subject to refinement and retooling. But here are a few possibilities: After what happened with "Endgame" Archie Comics/Ken/Karl would have to be stark raving goofy to try roboticizing one of the charter members of the Freedom Fighters. Note that the blurb does NOT use the F-words above, so we can probably rule them out. Mina would be an obvious choice, since Karl's been trying to make her a more sympathetic presence for the readers while eclipsing Sally in the process. Barring some kind of medical/biomechanical miracle, I don't see Max getting captured or even leaving the castle any time soon. I can only hope that Geoff gets it, and it would serve the S.O.B. right! ------ It is season 2 Rotor!

Oh, in case that pic dun work, click the link. Prolly already knew that though, huh? It's about time. Now Heavy and Bomb need to be updated to look right. ------ Re: Sonic The Hedgehog#100 spoilers and cover!!! Posted by Rebecky-mo Woohoo!! Spoilers! Boy, that came up awful quick. The actual issue isn't out til September (I think that's right..) I love the cover! I really wanna know what the color's gonna be; there's already been Silver, Gold and Blue. Season 2 Rotor looks great, and I'm glad he may be in the picture more this issue. I've been missing the original six FF's. Too many players now, but I think Elias is okay... WAITAMINUTE!!! Lim's doing the art for #100?!? Oh boy, Spaz better be training overtime with him... one of Knothole's own lost, hmm? Boy, that could be anyone, but I'm willing to bet it's Elias (Crud! He's one of the better new chars too!! Get rid of Mina instead!!!!;_;) That's how Sally's gonna become queen and get the throne. ------ Another Possible Victim Posted by Daniel J. Drazen It was after I posted "Name That Redshirt" that I suddenly remembered another possible candidate: Uncle Chuck He's been out of the loop for a while, but if the blurbs are to be believed a message from him to Sonic will set events in motion climaxing in S100. Of course, Uncle Chuck is ALREADY roboticized. So does that mean that he'll be taken offline for good? I wouldn't put it past Ken and Karl. ------ Re: Another Possible Victim Posted by BobR : Of course, Uncle Chuck is ALREADY roboticized. So does that mean that he'll be taken offline for good? I wouldn't put it past Ken and Karl. There ya go...exactly my thinking. If all events tie together the way I think they will, Sir Charles will be taken "off-line" by Knuckles, the walking E.M.P. generator. I'm hoping accidentally rather than intentionally. Remember what Knuckles did while unconcious and his power levels were still low!. It fits the hints that have been put out till now...someone is going to do something nasty to someone, presumably a Sonic relative will be the victim. And Sonic and Knuckles are supposed to have a major falling out over it. And it'll be an action so heinous that it'll take over a year before we see any sign of redemption. I first took this to be either Sonic's mom or dad. But while he's gotten back in touch with them, I couldn't see that affecting him as much as if it was Sir Charles. ------ The cover looks a lot like the cover for #75... Posted by Rogue ...except they aren't all shouting "YOU!" and pointing fingers. As Dan said earlier, the "loss" could be Uncle Chuck at the hands of Knuckles, resulting in the demise of his and Sonic's friendship. Sonic is really close to his uncle, and tends to be a bit rash when Uncle Chuck is supposedly killed. (I'm referring to Return of the King, when Chuck was shot by that soldier dude. Sonic sorta snapped when that happened.) Uncle Chuck really was Sonic's father figure in the early years of his life, and to have him ripped away when he's finally "come back" would really be a gut-wrenching plot twist, supposing the Archie staff has seen this and acted on it. Kinda strange that this should come up now, since I just watched "The Lion King" for the first time in about four years. I also cried throughout the whole wildebeast stampede thing, when Mufasa died. Really great movie... Okay, I need to take a shower and it's 9:15 and I have the SAT's tomorrow. Yay-rah. ~Rogue ------ Bleh. This is not the sort of news I needed. Posted by Knicknevin > the loss of one of Knothole's own. < Ugh. This is not the day I wanted to hear this. *Flashbacks of Endgame* Man, this is SOOOO bad. If they try to kill off someone important again, this is gonna be... BAD. If they robotisize a major, it'll be messy, especially since a redemption will be more difficult with most statements being made now that the process can't be reversed... at least not in all cases, or something... (Not quite clear- loose continuity is a little too loose on this subject) Just what 'the loss of one of Knothole's own' could mean is open to speculation, so really the whole tangled web surrounding the Ultimate Villian isn't being cleared by this in any way. Maybe we're reading into this too much. It seems SO obvious that Knuckles is the UV though, that I suppose that we're hoping that Ken and Karl are trying to pull a fast one on us, and it'll turn out to be someone else. But maybe we overestimate them. Maybe they think that when they reveal Knux as the UV that we really WILL be surprised. Heck, with all the speculating and second-guessing going on, some of us probably will be. ... But this deal with a 'loss' of one of 'Knothole's own'... ...They brought Rotor back. We all know that they don't bring back characters that have been written out of the story unless they have a specific use for them in mind... It's deja vu all over again... -Ad praesens ova cras pullis sunt meliora. ------ Though I'm a newbie here..... Posted by Highliter I have been with the comic since Issue #0, and I have learned that things aren't always what they seem untill the last minute. They can't kill off Sonic or Sally, rule tham out. Elias, I dunno, we don't see much action from him(did I mention I missed issues 84-95??). Sonic's own parents maybe....I mean, what more could an evil genius love than to see his own enemy suffer....Can we say Super? Say old Blubber-buns kills Ant....Will Sonic care? What if Bunny gets fully robotisized? Enough of my opinion....... Highliter ------ Re: Though I'm a newbie here..... Posted by Rogue Hey, I was a newbie... ::counts on fingers:: Gosh, have I only been here two months? Yeah, that's gotta be it. I came here in early February. Seems like a lot longer... Newbies are accepted here quickly. Make a point, voice you opinion, you will be heard. ::shakes head:: I'm just blabbing. Don't mind me... ~Rogue ------
