So many names... I think I'm even more confused than before!

Wait, Menniker was anywhere from fifty to a hundred years old when he talked to Steppenwolf? How did it take that long for such a quickly escalating situation to get to that?!

That robot is very reminiscent of the Rivals bosses.

So yeah. Im mad. I just got 199 in the mail, and yet I never got 198. What do I do about this? I refuse to open 199 until I get 198.

[phoenixdaughterAM]

WHAT?! NOW? HOLY CHILI DOGS! *shuts trap before going into a chat-speak moment*

Seriously, what is going on? Do they want us to get the comics quickly so we can be even more excited for 200?

I absolutely love this issue. A while back in the Charmy thread I commented about Ray, Charmy and Saffron essentially being one character and how everytime they are shown they all perform the same function together. And while that was still true here, this time it was presented great and made them look bad@#$. If more moments for them are presented like this I don't have a problem with the being portrayed as a three man sub group within the Chaotix. I take back my snide remarks about them. Also about the age of Dimitri and the Island thing. I wouldn't quibble over it that subject has never been consitant in this comic ever. When he was first introduced in the Knuckles mini he was said to be over a thousand years old. Then in the ongoing after becoming a cyborg he said he was 400 and that he and his brother lifted the island into the sky. Also those Echidnas who lifted the island to begin with they were retconned from being Dimitri's great great grandparent to just his grandparents. I gave up a long time ago on them keeping it strait.

Don't forget that Dimitri is old, I would be surprised if in the unlikely event he starts to forget a few things.

As for the issue itself, loved it. I really enjoyed the references to issues gone bye, the banter. It was like I was reading a lost episode of SatAM, it was great. A couple things I noticed.

[Penguin God]

They're respecting him because it's his plan they're following, and he's in charge of their safety. It's a respect for a boss, not a respect of the man.

[Gigazubyte]

Even if he is old, didn't he spend most of that time unconscious under a mountain? Given the short amount of time he actually spent running around as Enerjak, how much more than Knuckles can he actually know?

And hey, the Days of Fury are even worse. They've been said to variously be 3000, 12,000, more than 10,000, and "several centuries" years ago. Granted, if you take the 3000 out of that line up, the others work.

[Luger]

[Gigazubyte]

Yes, I'm aware that they retconned it to being multiple events to avoid the contradictions, but that same explanation also said they were a natural event. Then the Xorda came along and said they were responsible for gene bombing the planet so far back into the stone age that nobody on the even remembered who had bombed them. Then Issac said that he had been around for the days of fury 12,000 years ago. Then his data was revealed to be corrupt.

So yeah, keeping track of it gets pretty confusing, since the Day of Fury that occurred in the Knuckles comic was NOT the same event, or even the same TYPE of event as what is, I think, supposed to be the MAIN day of fury that everyone is always talking about, that is, the Xorda bombing.

Also, Mogul's stated age defies the 3000 years ago date, since the Xorda were supposedly responsible for Mobians evolving, and in Mogul's introduction he claims to be over 10,000 and to have ruled the world "not long after the days of fury" or something approximating that quote, since I don't have the specific issue to hand. Of course, that might have been retconned when I wasn't looking, or he's lying, or just plain senile.


So, whether it's been satisfactorily explained or not, it still has a history rife with confusion.
