Would he be as highly thought of if he didn't come after the likes of Penders?

Somewhat

Write a paragraph explaining your opinion.

In a world where Penders never existed Ian would have driven this comic into the /u/ sector and instead of a million knuckles, there'd be a million dykes

I hate that you can't criticize this faggot without his asslickers dogpiling you assuming you like Penders.

In an odd way, he benefited from Penders in the amount of characters and storylines that were left. He got to kill off a bunch of characters (blood for the blood god) and repurposed the ones that were allowed to stick around, like Scourge. But the important thing was that he brought about consistency. Before then, Archie was all over the place and suffered not just from Penders but from meddling editors. And having Yardley as the main artist start around the same time as him was also very good for him.

This guy REALLY likes trannies

Didn't care for Drogune and that other furry comic he did for a game. I haven't checked out Cosmo, though.

Probably not, no. He's fairly mid, as the kids say.

His stories are only "highly thought-of" by anyone because of Yardley. Because for the first time in Sonic comic history the comics actually looked like in the games instead of weird pulp Bucky O'Hare shit, and so kids could actually stomach reading it knowing it was the series they already liked
>t.couldn't even force myself to read anything that came before Ian as a kid, solely because of this factor

They both want to force homosexuality and other political garbage in the franchise, so, they're both equally terrible.

Ehhh...only to Sonic fans.

Elaborate

That's a general problem in this fandom.

Hating Penders is, funny enough, the only thing the whole fandom seems to agree 95% of the time

gfdfdg

and SoJ is enjoying this

Let them fight.

Who?

The opposite also happens, with crazed hater autists treating him like the devil.

Dude's mediocre and has been coasting on a stale bag of tricks for a decade, but Sonic fans are incapable of nuance and either jerk him off or want to kill him.

Patrick Spaziante, an old comics artist.

That analogy is dumb, but user is right that Spaz gets held up like a sacred cow sometimes. Dude drew great pinups, but his actual paneling was usually shit.

Not that user but I prefer his deeper pulls from the games and attempts to use those obscure bits of lore or characters over a soap opera that hinges on a 13 episode cartoon from 30 years ago.

Used to enjoy Archie Sonic especially during the Saturn Dry Spell but looking upon the older issues with fresh eyes some of the stories aged like yak milk.
IDW Sonic may not be perfect but I know someone will work around SEGA’s mandates
Sonic’s still the only video game based comics that's active. ARMS by Dark Horse fell through and UDON’s Street Fighter only appears once in a blue moon.
