Penders Victims by ChaosCroc

Penders Victims

ChaosCroc

I don't shy away from the fact that I hate Ken Penders. The damage he's done to the Archie Sonic comics, not to mention the fandom, is severe. I'll avoid going into a long, winded rant this time, and instead focus on some of my favorite characters that are, sadly, gone forever from the comics as we know them.

  1. Geoffrey St John: Technically, he was a SatAM character that never appeared officially, and as such, has fallen under Penders name. I liked the fact he was a double (triple?) agent, and was someone I could like and hate at the same time. A lovable scoundrel, if you will.

  2. Fiona Fox: I've always loved the bad girls, and she was BAD. Slapping Tails, kneeing Sonic in the crotch, she was someone you didn't mess with, else you end up with your balls chopped off. Not to mention, I would have LOVED to see her rivalry with Sally play out a bit more.

  3. Julie-Su: While Sally was the tomboy princess, she was still a bit girly. And then there's Julie-Su, who rarely ever acted stereotypical of her gender. Always willing to rush into a fight, guns blazing, and on the verge of knocking Vector's teeth in, she was one of the most badass girls in the comic.

  4. Lien-Da: And, naturally, I have to include Julie-Su's evil step-sister, Lien-Da. Luck was never on her side, but damn, did she keep trying to gain power! What makes it worse is, she was given these awesome electro-whip things, and then...gone. Taken out of the universe before she could shine.

  5. Bernie and Jules Hedgehog: This...hurts. Sonic's parents. His freaking mother and father. Two soldiers who found love on a battlefield, ended up roboticized at the start of it all. And, even when Bernie was restored (fucking aliens) and Jules stayed a robot, due to his injuries, their love for each other and their son shined through. I personally loved the interaction between Sonic and his parents, and it brings me to tears to know that they were taken away like this.

Now, I don't CARE about the legality of it all. I don't CARE who won what, or if Archie has or has not the rights to them anymore. Those facts are pointless right now. The fact remains, that these characters are gone. And I will miss them.

That being said, this is the internet. We, as fans, are exempt from the court case. So, I will only ask one thing from all of you. Keep drawing them. Remember them. Never forget that these characters existed, and mattered. Because, at the end of the day, comic or not, they were there for us when we needed them.

    Bleh. Throwing away characters like this always leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I might not know these characters all that well (or even the comics or SatAM, sadly), but I hope these characters continue to live on in the hearts and minds of the fans that DO know that they were once there.

    I will agree with Sonic's parents being thrown away you do not ever do that! That is awful but Geoffry is just meh... Keep up the good work.

    Amen to that

    Is there a site or resource you would recommend someone use if they want to learn more about the Sonic universe? I would love to learn more about the comic side of the Sonic universe, but I have no clue where exactly to begin.

    Amen to this, bro. Way to pay tribute to those gone before their time.

    I will do all I can to keep them alive in commission form! Fiona Fox forever!

    Say it ain't so, Geoffrey. :(

    Penders played a part in Sonic's parents creation?
    Fucking seriously!?

    Yeah they are all wonderful characters. Fiona really caught me by surprise when she went evil,. Julie-Su was a great love interest for Knuckles as well.

    John always struck me as an odd character, not in design. I always felt there was a foul odor about him (no pun intended).

    This is one of the MAIN reasons I stopped reading the series. When they literally killed off a lot of the characters in the comic. Still I'll always remember the good times with them and will hold their memories with great fondness and do what I can too continue the fandom.
