>>101749372Honestly, too soon to tell. We're comparing 6 issues of a comic with brand new lore against 500+ issues (including the spinoffs & specials) of all sorts of wacky shit Penders and Bollers added.
Comparably, six issues into the Archie series gave us self-contained, pun-heavy cheesy stories with bland AoStH plots.
The art & action scenes have been great ever since the post-Super Genesis wave, but the lore has been lacking. There's enough material to work with to build a cohesive world. However, I won't hold my breath for Knothole, Mobotropolis, or anything like that.
This is a world with few echidnas, humans aren't called Overlanders, we don't have any goofy weird shit like the Ancient Walkers or titan tropes like Mammoth Mogul. Archie Sonic was a weird ride and I expect zero iterations of any characters from that series to be in IDW. It would be nice, but Penders fucked it up for everyone.
