Commentary
for April 26, 2022:
Oh yeah, it’s your
boy, Silver!
Like Blaze the Cat, I never included Silver the Hedgehog in the
original Eon’s Comic. Like Blaze, he appeared at a time when
my interest in official Sonic media had reached its nadir and
I was hard at work moving Eon’s Comic away from the Sonic
franchise. Sonic characters were still there, they just
weren’t prominent and I wasn’t interested in adding new ones.
Moreover, I knew almost nothing about Silver. It wasn’t until three
years after its release that I played Sonic ’06 and then only
for a single afternoon before I rage quit and then never played it
again. Blaze had resonated with me more, as I’d played and enjoyed
both the Sonic Rush games (especially Sonic Rush
Adventure), but even she would never set foot in the pages
Eon’s Comic.
But I digress.
I knew nothing about Silver, other than the fact that he was a very
annoying boss fight in a fundamentally broken game. So it never even
crossed my mind to feature him in Eon’s Comic. It wasn’t
until I read through the entire Archie Sonic comic for the
first time in 2014 that I actually learned anything about him and,
much like that series did for me with Shadow, I came to actually
kind of like Silver. He’s by no means my favourite Sonic
character, but I like him. And I do have good reasons for including
him in Eon’s World now, but I’ll wait for tomorrow’s
commentary to elaborate on that...
For now I’ll just say that I was pretty nervous about making
Silver’s sprites, given that I’ve never even so much as drawn a
doodle of him before, but I think he turned out all right, and he
wasn’t as tricky as I feared. |
