When did you start collecting Sonic comics? In June 1994, I learned there was a Sonic comic when I saw Archie Comic's Sonic the Hedgehog #14 sitting on a magazine rack. I've been diligently collecting the comics ever since. I own every single Sonic comic released by Archie Comics, and so far I have a complete inventory of Sonic comics from IDW. Unfortunately, I haven't collected any Sonic the Comic magazines from Fleetway. Maybe one day... What do you do? I retired from the U.S. Air Force on 30 Jun 2022. I was a Technical Sergeant, working as a Cyber Systems Operator. Basically, I was an IT guy, fixing computers while serving my country. I am enjoying retired life now and indulging in my own interests, hobbies, and personal projects. I am not a web designer, so I apologize for this website. It's all coded by hand in HTML, with a little bit of CSS as I learn it. As I learn more, the site will slowly improve in style and function. Why did you create this website? I'm a completionist who suffers from ADHD (the hyperfocus type). Which is how I can spend hours hand-jamming code for my website. In the past, I spent countless hours building Excel spreadsheets, listing every Sonic comic in their reading order, but I wanted a quick-reference visual guide to my entire collection that I could access from anywhere in the world. A website seemed like the perfect place for it, and I wasn't really using my personal website for anything important. Will you ever host actual comics? I have a (near) complete collection of digital comics for all three Sonic series. However, I don't want to get my website banned or shut down for filesharing, so I will not be hosting any comics at this time. There are other places you can go to find digital comics online, and I highly recommend supporting IDW and buying their physical and digital comics. Why does it take so long to update things? I am only one man, working on this site as a hobby (read: whenever I get the free time and motivation) so I apologize for anything I haven't finished updating. Hand-jamming code for all these images is a lot of hard work! Do you take breaks from updating your site? I normally try to keep things as current as possible, but every now and then, life gets in the way. I just retired, so I have oodles of time to work on this site. If I'm taking too long to update something, give me a poke. My contact info is at the bottom of this page. Do you have any projects planned for this website? I am still moving the Archie Comics images over to my locally-hosted website, which will probably take me another few years of picking at it in my spare time. Don't worry, though; nothing will go down while I'm moving images, so you won't notice anything different. I am considering adding some other popular fan comic series, like Sonic Legacy or some such. So far, the only fan comics I show are unofficial continuations of the Archie and Fleetway comics. But if I get enough positive feedback, I might add more comic pages. I also wouldn't be opposed to making a gallery of fan-made comic covers. If you want your fan-made comic covers displayed, let me know and I'll make a page for them.Message me through Bluesky, Facebook, or Discord with any other questions. |
