It's been a year since the release of The Lara-Su Chronicles: Beginnings by the legendary Ken Penders. It's still available for the low price of $35.99! What are your thoughts on this work of art and its future?

Ken's echidnaslop makes sense when you realize he is imitating kryptonians

I think Sonic Frontiers and its new revelations about echidna canon pissed Ken off so much that he actually got off his ass to finish LSC just to show them up (but of course he still sucks ass at it).

Sort of. He put out a book that's almost entirely reprinted stuff from the original Archie 25 Years Later storyline, then a few new pages at the end to set up the new timeline.

Ken's basic problem throughout all of this was that he never actually wanted to do this. He overestimated how important his stuff was to Archie and thought that by threatening to pull his characters and make his own comics that they'd beg him to let them use his stuff and offer him substantial royalties. Winning the court case backfired badly on him because not only did Archie reorganize the book to remove all of his characters, but now the only way he was going to make money on this was to make his own story. He's spent the last decade and a half dragging his feet on this purely to save face.

What's funny about this is that he tried that once before and it also backfired. Archie hired Ian Flynn to be the head writer back in the mid-2000's and Ken was going to be demoted to writing backup stories. Here's basically what happened:

>Ken: You can't demote me! I'm too valuable, the Sonic comic and Sonic as a property is only popular because of my writing! I'm quitting in protest!
>What Ken Imagined Archie Would Say: No! Please, we need you, Ken! We'll make you head writer, we'll fire this Ian guy, just please don't go we can't have a comic without you!
>What Archie Actually Said: k bye
