  1. http://www.woodstockproduction.com/apps/blog/show/44888348-konami-announces-contra-movie-but-will-it-flop-like-the-rest-of-the-video-game-movies- So, I guess this is a thing. A few years late in my opinion, but should get the nostalgia crowd if done right.
  2. Haven't been around that much lately, well, I thought I'd revisit this thread with another old animated film. A bit ago I ran into this almost 30 year old French animated science fiction/psychological film call Gandahar or (Light Years in the U.S.). I love the dark and brooding atmosphere throughout the that is not too dissimilar from SatAM in many ways. Gandahar really is not well known of outside of those who watch animated films that are not aimed at the child audience. The animation is excellent, but very European, i.e. great, but might seem a bit off for the casual American viewer. Also, the vocal talent is excellent as well with a lot of mid '80s star power. What really gets me is the writing and the science fiction and psychological aspect throughout; genetic manipulation, transmutation of living things, man versus machines, etc.... Despite its rarity it can easily be found on many streaming sites like YouTube, so do yourself a favour and lose yourself in a first-rate story.
  3. If I could I'd like it to have the SatAM lore/comic from issue 20-74. I know realistically that's a pipe dream, so I'm one, for me at least, if it continues being SoJ/ games based then I would like for them to leave the SatAM cast out; I'm sick of how they've been basically defiling their memory as of late in Archie.
  4. It happened a little quicker than I thought it would; Sega has decided to strike when the iron was hot, so it seems; this will be interesting how IDW/Sega handle it going forward.
  5. Like I said before, the only reason I could see that they are holding off on announcing it is because they'd have to refund subscription fees. It would behoove Archie a lot earlier to say that it was not cancelled because it's just leading to speculation and people saying that it's cancelled; they are ticking off their consumers this way. And a lot of the speculation is based on circumstantial evidence like the one I posted above, so people are seeing smoke and when you see smoke there is usually flame.
  6. The evidence is piling up: http://www.tssznews.com/2017/07/08/archie-update-archie-not-going-to-san-diego-comic-con-sonic-freelance-artist-looking-for-work/ "Rafa Knight is a freelancer 3D artist for Archie Comics. Her most recent works in the Archie Sonic comics is Sonic #275, which was released in mid-2015, and Sonic Universe #85. The latter came out just 5-6 months before the hiatus started. However, she is now looking for freelance work elsewhere. The hiatus has been hitting Archie Sonic freelancers hard. If that’s not enough, she mentioned the word “cancelled” when bringing up the comics. Hello, I’m Rafa Knight! I work at the Sega of America, doing some works for the Sonic Team, and sometimes some works for the Sonic the Hedgehog social media, as a freelancer 3D artist. It’s a job that I like to do, but it has always been more like a secondary thing or a hobbie, because as much as I wanted, it is not something that give enough return to be my main job, maybe you understand how it is. For these reasons my main job was on the Archie Comics, where I worked for about 2 years, which also was a very pleasant place to work, but that ended up canceling the comics where I worked." http://www.tssznews.com/2017/07/09/archie-will-be-at-san-diego-comic-con-after-all-archie-comics-forever-riverdale-and-beyond-event-planned/ They will be at San Diego's Comicon, so maybe we'll hear something?
  7. Still hoping that something good comes out of the negotiations; as long as they're talking there is still hope that the comic will survive and get better.
