Now that the one legal matter I've been involved with for some time has been resolved, how about everyone start fresh from square one as I gear up to present THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: NEW WORLD ORDER in the coming weeks?

This will be the forum that will discuss all things pertaining to TL-SC:NWO until I get the Lara-Su website up and running to a reasonable extent by Labor Day this September. I will establish some ground rules of what is and isn't allowable for discussion here, as there will be other avenues elsewhere on this board to go into greater detail on separate but related topics.

First off, TL-SC:NWO will not only feature the majority of characters I've created during my run on the Sonic titles, but there will also be some important new additions to the line-up as well beyond the previously announced Commander Taelor. And to nip any speculation or needless questions, yes, Robo-Robotnik and Evil Sonic are my characters, and no, there are no plans (currently) to use them. With regards to those characters, I'm not trying to be cute or yank on anyone's chain. The fact is when business is involved, anything's possible. At this time and in the foreseeable future, all I will say is that whatever happens in Mamaroneck is a certain party's business over which I have no control over.

Which brings me to my next topic: Continuity. It may not seem like it during the opening sequence, but the story does indeed pick up where MOBIUS: 25 YEARS LATER left off at the end as seen in SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #144. Essentially, I'm dealing with the same situation I was when Karl Bollers was handling the present day adventures. My response now is the same is it was then: just because you think you know how things turn out doesn't mean it happened the way you think it did. For one thing, I won't be dealing with the Sega characters, so the guys working on the Sonic titles have plenty of room to pull a few rabbits out of their hat to surprise the readers with.

Second, a couple of established characters come with secret histories that allows for me to say you'll have to wait and see how things play out, rather than tossing off an excuse that reads they have their version and I have mine. I really have no desire to go pointing out what is or is not canon continuity in anyone else's version as my main objective has been to simply finish the story I started to tell way back when in a way that readers don't feel they have to pick one version over the other. While there will be no ret-conning to any major extent, readers will finally see a lot of blanks filled in that weren't before.

To avoid confusion with regards to the question of what is or is not considered canon, let's just say I'm not going to go out of my way to point out where I disagree with what other creators have done with regards to my characters at this point. I've pretty much figured out a "live and let live" approach I think readers will approve of, and once they read TL-SC:NWO, I believe the general consensus will be that they're getting a deeper, richer experience with these characters than they have before.

At this time, I'm still working out a number of details in terms of story, art, format, etc., and will have plenty to talk about in the days and weeks to come.

For now, I'm going to present a sneak preview of a sequence as it currently exists in the script. Before anyone calls out the one obvious change, I want to make it clear it's really not so much of a change but rather executing an idea I wish I'd come up with years earlier.

No characters have been scrapped. I haven't figured out yet exactly the specifics of what role characters such as Dr. Quack and the Substitute Freedom Fighters play, but I know they'll be woven into the tapestry of the story somewhere down the road. The Royal Family will be involved to a greater degree by virtue of their relationship to the Brotherhood of the Guardians.

This is indeed a story about Lara-Su. However, she still needs characters and settings to interact with and allow for her story to be told. Just because I have all these characters and settings to play around with doesn't mean everything will be front and center at the main character's expense.

One of the problems with working in comics for the major publishers these days is that the story lengths are somewhat arbitrary. You have to do x number of pages times x number of issues so you can issue a graphic novel. While the initial format for the Knuckles series allowed me to do a story in three 22-page segments, you'll notice there isn't any padding, and in many cases I had to edit certain story points out for later use when the correct solution should have been to allow for a few more pages only when necessary. Now, the story dictates the length as I'm not concerned with filling out x number of issues at a certain page count per issue. I'm simply telling the story I had always intended to tell and don't feel the need to shoehorn in anything extraneous because of the restrictions of the format and presentation of a monthly comic book series.

As for Lara-Su, she was always intended to take her father's place, as I actually envisioned Knuckles as a character whose life we experience from beginning to end and beyond to see the legacy he left behind. I don't look at Lara-Su as an usurper because of this. (And even if I came to some agreement with Sega regarding the use of Knuckles because of the plans I have in store, Lara-Su would still be the focus simply because I'm more intrigued at this time working with the dynamics of a female lead character. There's not enough of them for one thing. I also believe both Lara-Su and Julie-Su are the best conduits for any examination of the character of the Praetorian, at least as far as the current narrative is concerned.)

Elias et Geoffrey ? Ils lui appartiennent.

Citation de Adamis :

Mais Archie ne voudra probablement pas payer. Geoffrey a été retiré des couvertures de Sonic Select #7 et Sonic Legacy #3.
La saga Endangered Species est très différente de ce qu'Ian avait prévu à cause de Penders. Pourquoi crois-tu que Lien-Da a disparu ?
Les personnages ne mentionnent même plus le nom d'Elias, ils l’appellent "le roi légitime".

Citation de Di-Luezzia :

Ils sont sérieux, Lien-Da (ou Julie-Su, je reconnais à peine) va ressembler à ça ?
