BN isn't the only comic with returning characters...
With DC's Blackest Night bringing back DEAD fan favorite characters as heart hungry zombies, I decided, to make a post of from a recent issue of Sonic Universe (recent to me since I just bought it from the bookstore) which they bring back a character as a monster. Who is it? Click and see.
Let me start off with some exposition. 30 years later from the current timeline in Archie comics, the peaceful future (isn't that a first in comics or what?) of Mobius, under the new rule of King Sonic and Sally perfered from the rule of King Shadow (time-warp shipping, no much more to explain that. Lien-Da, Shadow's former henchmen, forms a team called the "Dark Presence" to fight againist the new rule, and just recently took over the King's and Queen's castle and released her former king from his frozen state of Chaos Control done by Lara-Su at the end of the "25 years Later Story" arc. Upon hearing what happen during his slumber, King Shadow ventures into the castle's vault, where the biggest threats to Mobius are sealed up. And who is sealed into this room of danger? Well...
Do to Lien-Da's deifience to say no to her King, Shadow destroys the armband on her that keeps her in the shifted time-line from "25 Years Later," which leaves her outwritten from the current timeline. All this happens while Sonic's new Freedom Fighters, consisting mostly of Tails' kids with Bunnie's and Ant's along with Lara-Su.
in the castle, the Freedom Fighters see the Dark Presence running away, job number two of henchmen, Running away. Following this, the castle begins to break part.
Now I know what you're thinking, "What the hell are the writers doing!?!?!" This must be the first time outside of the Adventure adaption that Tikal has appeared in this series, and she's now a water monster. keep in mind, during the "25 Years Later," with Shadow as King of the planet, things were not all happy and sunshine. In the preview for the next issue, due this week, there is some backstory to what has happen to Tikal to become this.
And inside of Tikhaos, Shadow is still feeding her Chaos Energy, commenting that he is doing all of this for Maria. Yeah...that's what she wants. You being a heartless leader who unleashes a giant water monster and force her to go on a rampage against her will. Well, the next Universe 8 is the last part for this story, and after that, we go into the story of our favorite dreadlock quilled, spiked-knuckled, red marsupial of the Sonic Universe. Yes, we are almost done with the filler.
So post your comments about this change to Tikal's character. In fact, I dare you post story lines like this too, like when a like or good character is gone/dead for a long period of time, only to come back as a monster/insane/evil/ whatever. I would like to make a this a theme for the week... except the last time I tried it failed and I'm not sure what to call this trope, so I'm going to let some else do it. Yes, I am that lazy.
