![]() ![]() Penders claimed he’d be starting a new comic with the characters people loved(ignoring that they were loved due to who they were in Sonic and that they obviously wouldn’t be the same now) and has yet to actually realease a single page of said comic in the many years since. Penders, meanwhile, got to keep his characters but he had to remove all connections to the Sonic the Hedgehog universe from them, essentially making a large chuck of those characters completely and utterly useless. ![]() The Sonic comic essentially lost a good chuck of it’s cast, never really recovered from said reset, and eventually ended when Archie comics lost the right die to the aforementioned bungling. So Archie has to do a universe-warping event that removed all of Pender’s characters from both the timeline and everyone’s memories as if they never existed, including Sonic’s parents, Knuckles’s entire race/family, important side characters, ect. Because Archie Comics didn’t really handle paperwork well when they had hired them, it made rights a bit complicated. ![]() ![]() When he left, he decided to sue Archie comics over the rights of said characters, saying he should receive a cut of the comics profits because they were in it. He introduced/created a bunch of characters for the comic and made the thing a bit overly complicated, but a lot of the characters became pretty integral to the plot, characters’ arcs and development, ect. Ken Penders is a freelance comic artist who worked on the Sonic the Hedgehog comic by Archie Comics. ![]()
