I must add, that’s not edited, he actually did quote the AoStH cartoon. A nice “mythology gag” & meme reference Ian Flynn put in issue #205. There was also another AoStH meme quote in that issue.

Chaos Knuckles was based on a glitch involving the Master Emerald. Chaos Knuckles is a glowing green Knuckles that has fused with the Master Emerald.

I don’t know about the “green Knuckles” thing, (I never read that issue) but I hear Scourge (Formally known as “Evil Sonic”) became green as a homage to the old “green Sonic” gliche from Sonic 2. (And also to differentiate him from Sonic, so they can’t do that lame “It was Evil Sonic pretending to be Sonic” plot twist ever again.)
So they have a few clever references/in-jokes for longtime Sonic fans to spot in the comics. (They even had Eggman quote a popular meme. Hehe)
And yeah alot of characters have been roboticized, and returned to normal. So it’s funny how alot of Sonic fans are panic-ing over Sally’s situation.
@Klonoahedgehog
Chill, she’ll be returned to normal eventually. They even confirmed it. (Possibly the next issue, I hear, or during/after the Megaman crossover arc.)
@Mayojar77
To be honest the comics got easier for me to follow when writer Ian Flynn started writing the series in 2006. (I don’t get why some fans like to bash him, he’s a pretty cool guy, and knows more about the Sonic franchise then previous writers did.)
I like how he keeps the stories more simple, and “straight to the point,” but still giving them some depth, and continuity.
I’m looking forward to the Sonic & Megaman comic crossover personally.
@Sonic the Hedgehog
Sally was “dead,” but not really. Yeah, I know it’s kinda a comic cliche’, but to be fair the writer at the time Ken Penders really did want to kill her, and Robotnik off for good, but Sega wouldn’t let him. (Though, I think killing off Robotnik for good would’ve been a worse idea.)
@Mayojar77
Well, she has been confirmed to be returned to normal soon I hear.
@Mayojar77
From what I heard Thrash the tasmanian devil was made to be a more “suitable” rival/enemy for Knuckles whom could actually match his strength.
Also, nice bit of trivia: Thrash’s design was based on the animation toggle between where the tiny Sonic turns into Knuckles on the “Sonic & Knuckles” title screen.
@Beau Skunky
I haven’t looked at it for 7 years, but for the years I did read it you could just get into it from just one issue, it’s the main reason of all my friends growing up that also liked Sonic none of them looked at the comics.
