Another pro-Sonic comics stamp

Description

Made lazily in the [link] Stamp maker V2.

Now before you all start getting angry, and calling me a "SatAM-hater," and such, keep in mind...
I DO LIKE THE CULT-CLASSIC 1993-1994 "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG" SatAM SERIES!!!! I even have the "Complete Series" DVD boxset!
This is NOT bashing Sonic SatAM. Hope I made that clear enough...

Also, I left the stamp kinda vague which Sonic comic series I'm refering to, so that way both fans of Archie-Sonic, and the British Fleetway "Sonic the Comic" series can use it freely.

Lately, I've been trying to avoid the subject of "Sonic," (which drums up as much debate as politics, and religion combined for some reason) and I'd hate to become another "whiny Sonic fan," (because almost every Sonic fan complains about everything) but sometimes I get tired of keeping my opinions to myself.
Especially seeing all of the negative stamps, and such about the comic, I felt there needed to be another positive one.

Yes, I love SatAM, but I do like the Archie Sonic comics better. Why? ...The world seems more fleshed out, there's more continuity, there's more places to see, there's more characters, more things/characters/story tie-ins from the video games, (something SatAM lacked) it also feels like there's more story-possibilities then SatAM. (Which relied to heavily on the "sneaking into Robotnik's city on missions to stop his latest schemes" sub-plot to much, I felt.)
I also feel at times it can be more humorous then SatAM, while also having it's serious/darker moments sometimes to. (Not every issue is "doom and gloom," or "cutesy funny happy time.")

I've been noticing some SatAM fans have been bashing the StH comics by Archie Comics Inc. lately.
I've been seeing alot of things like "Oh, SatAM was so much better then this!" But honestly, the SatAM series had some flaws to, I felt, and as much as I love that series, it's starting to seem kinda "overrated" to me, at times. (But I will admit, it probably is the better of the Sonic TV shows, though I have nothing against the others.)

I'll even admit, the comic wasn't perfect either. I don't love every issue, even some of Ian's issues, (even though I prefer him over past writers on the comic personally. He pretty much "saved" the comic for me) in fact, believe it or not, I used to dislike/hate the comics for awhile to. Then when I got into them again, I found them quite enjoyable.
I don't judge the entire series on a few lousy issues. ("Sonic Live" Ugh... Even it's writer Ken Penders would be embarrassed by that, I'm sure.)
I found some SatAM episodes a bit "boring," but I still love that series to.

I've been taking some heat from some people (who I will not name) for supporting the Sonic Archie comics, or being a "fan."
It's cool if you prefer SatAM, or don't dig the comics, (hey they arn't everyone's cup of tea, I understand) but don't attack me over this, or give me long boring lectures of why "Archie Sonic is evil," and why "SatAM is the God of everything Sonic."

Also, believe it or not, while the Archie Sonic series gets alot of "hate" here on DA, it actually has more "fans," then it does "haters." It is actually STILL selling "very very" well, from what I hear.
Enough to support 2 simultaneous comic books "Sonic the Hedgehog," and "Sonic Universe," not to mention a crapload of compilation/reprint books, and a new quarterly "Sonic Super Special" magazine. (Not the signs of a "widely hated" comic, or a "dying" series.)
So Ian Flynn, Paul Kaminski, and the others at Archie Comics must be doing SOMETHING right.
You people obsessed with hating on it constantly, and dedicating your entire DA accounts, and clubs to hating it are just the minority, believe it or not.
Your opinions arn't "absolute fact," and neither are mine. You either like something, or you don't.

To quote MeltingMan, if you hate the Sonic comics, stop reading/buying them, just ignore them. Let those who do like them enjoy them. No amount of biased Youtube reviews, lame demotivational memes, or hate-groups, or petitions you make are going to kill the comic anytime soon, as long as it's selling. (If you want to hurt the book, don't buy them.)
I didn't like the game "Sonic & the Secret Rings" personally, (why the hell does it have higher scores on IGN then "Sonic Adventure?") but I don't rant about it constantly. So I don't love everything Sonic-related either.

At least the comics didn't end for good with a cliffhanger.
