They need to ditch Julie-Su. Hell, ditch all the other echindnae and leave Tikal around because she's already dead.
And as for Sonic Retro... GAH. White text on black sears my eyes. x_x
Julie-Su is a fine character... now at least.
Though she doesn't appear much lately.
All the other echidnas are currently too busy rebuilding Albion (motherland of echidnas, which was destroyed). The Brotherhood of Guardians is well... they are trapped in some zone whose name I forgot. Dark Legion is now Dark Egg Legion and along with Lien-Da serve under Eggman... well, what remains of it at least. Dimitri is now a good guy and resides in Sonic's home city. And Locke "Time to microwave the baby" Echidna (Knuckles' dad) is DEAAAAD ever since he had to break to hex on Master Emerald, which made Knuckles act like a crazy God Enerjak.
And the evil echidna called Finitevus, who was responsible for destroying Albion, is up to some [parasitic bomb]. But we don't know what yet.
The comic is good now, REALLY. Thanks to Ian, the characters I didn't give two shits about are finally likeable (especially Eggman, he's such a [tornado fang]ing combination of pure EVIL and GOOF). Even Silver is a fine character (he's portrayed as a bit of an idiot who desperately tries to find a way to fix his screwed up future).
