hello everyone, id like to bring something to your attention as a group of western sonic fans.
we almost got a different publisher to do the sonic comics after archie instead of idw
the publisher who almost did sonic after archie is a company known as UDON: http://www.udonentertainment.com/blog/
they are known for doing the Street Fighter comics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_(UDON_comics)
as well as localizing/translating and coloring the megaman giga and mega mix mangas into the megaman master mix comics: https://megaman.fandom.com/wiki/Mega_Man_Mastermix
among other projects.
i had a few chats with MattMoylan (https://www.deviantart.com/mattmoylan) on twitter
