I was there for the majority of the chat and here is some info first about upcoming stuff and then direct quotes made by Ken during the chat.

1) Julie-Su returns along with Simon and Floren-Ca (her step-parents) in Sonic #98

2) Dimitri becomes Enerjak in Sonic #100

3) Charmy is back in Sonic #93 because Sonic #92 is going to be the Sonic Shuffle adaptation

4) Ken's not sure if Tikal will return

5) Nic and Nack aren't going to be the only ones hunting Knuckles in Sonic #91

6) Tails and Knuckles will be working together during "The Chosen One" storyline (Sonic #95-97).

Here are some direct quotes from Ken Penders that I managed to copy and paste (mostly from the Q&A part):

Sega is going to exert more control in rgards to using the series as much as possible as a promotional vehicle

Sega will have us adapt any SONIC game they put out. That's called marketing, and we can't refuse to

There won't be any Chaotix stories, Blue Raven, but the characters will be making appearances I just can't say when they will do so other than Charmy

[on Knuckles series] That's why the book is no longer published, because even Archie had a difficult time getting the books into the stores

It'll be sometime after #100 before we can address Remington and his secret

I highly doubt Knuckles will be on speaking terms with many people, let alone Sally after SONIC #100

Just to give you some idea of the insanity in producing the latest issues we've been barely getting the books out before deadline due to a lot of miscommunication and other snafus

Geoffrey will become more involved with Sally, for instance

Sally will re-examine her feelings towards Geoffrey

Keep your eyes on Mina, everyone, as her role is going to increase as well

SONIC #100 will involve a crossover with SONIC and KNUCKLES

Xenin could return, Mariah, but I'm not sure when, because I'm more concerned with Enerjak and the events leading up to SONIC #100.

Manny is no longer associated with the books in any way. He's too busy working for Nickelodeon

[on Lara-Su] I haven't worked out her color scheme yet, although I know I'll have to real soon as she will be appearing sometime between SONIC #100 and #112

Something does happen to one of Sonic's parents by #100

We will be addressing whatever happened to the Overlanders

You will meet the Ultimate Villain in SONIC #100

I don't think we'll see much of Remington or Komi-ko beyond a token appearance, unless...
My edit: the chat moved too fast for me to copy the rest of the statement, but Ken and Justin have proposed a mini-series to the publishers and they're waiting for approval or disapproval

If you missed the chat, there's most of the relevant Sonic/Knuckles info.

A solid blue VMU will be released in Japan December 21st, the same date as Phantasy Star Online. It will carry the Sonic Team logo and Sonic characters, but pretty much remain the same as a regular VMU. Still, if you want one, check the import retailers in late December, possibly even January 2001.

Good evening friends, sorry for being a bit late on my news, but it happens. Today, we find Sega potentially committing cybersquatting, nominations for the Sonic Emmy Awards announced, and the number of PS2s available come the 26th of this month have been cut in half.

Yes people,I'm afraid there over. :( This stiinks! >:(

Yes you heard it right folks, Sonic Team has released a newer version of the SA2 movie with more action! See Sonic interact with Chao, Dr Eggman in battle, Sonic skyboarding and more!

You heard it hear first folks, at Sonic HQ!

Check it out here! http://www.bcast.co.jp/webevents/sega/sonic_l.asx

The new form to the newsboard kept me from posting this earlier :P Anyhoo, Other-M (perhaps the most successful fan-comic on the net) has just released it's fourth issue.

Other-M

With Season 2 less than 5 hours away, here's some quick info:

I will be opening SU.net's chat room at 11:30 P.M. EST to talk about Season 2. Lots of others are to be there, so I suggest you get there early by clicking here.

Season 2 will be launch at precisly midnight, EST tonight.

That's all for now. See you there!

Here's the long-awaited cover of Sonic #92! And in color, too! This is the story that goes along with the cover:

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #92 - (Bollers/Fry/Pepoy) The Wrath of Khan! Monkey Khan, the cyborg-simian created by Doctor Robotnik returns, and this time the furry fury's got it in for his maker and all Overlanders in general.

There you have it.

This is just an addendum to the article Knuckles posted about the "Day 9" pictures of Sonic Adventure. I just wanted to point out about the second picture, that looks like the Chao Doctor (with a different look than the SA Homepage), this time integrated in-game (possible for Chao Tutorials and Troubleshooting.) I mean, come on, hospital beds, a medical symbol slapped everywhere, "doctor" hair stuck on an otherwise normal Chao. (to distinguish it from one you grow, to make it recognizable to a normal player as a regular character.) Just thought I'd point that out, thanks.

Be good to your Chao by rewarding him!

What is this place?

[CHAO: Artificial life]

Chao which you all have grown to love has become more intelligent and cute! Improved intutitive communication and response with Chao increases Chao Fun! You won't be able to leave your Chao alone with the improved VMU Chao mini-game with secret features.

Looks like everyone's favorite Chao are back with new features too. By the looks of the second pic, the Chao must get their own room with luxuries! Source: SonicTeam

Over the past few days of the SonicTeam Fall festival, SonicTeam have added 2 new Samba De Amigo v.2000 Wallpaper designs for the public. The first is A Samba and his SISTER (I thought it was a love interest?!) on a Barbie Pink Background, the second shows what the new "Dance" mode goes like, on how you have to move your maracas around, not just pose.

What do you get when you add one of the coolest artists around (J.Axer) and a fan comic team with a plan (us, the SonicVerse Team ^^)? Yes, another rendition of Sonic Adventure! Most of you guys have seen the Archie version of Sonic Adventure. Most of you have seen the Fleetway version of Sonic Adventure. We're not saying ours is any better but we want to give it a shot, darnit! ^^

Dr. Eggman triggers the emergency alarm!

Dr. Eggman takes out an enemy robot!

[Egg Mobile Blast-off]

Enter Dr. Eggman riding high on his new powerful Egg Mobile. Armed with a powerful weapon, Eggman destroys all who enter the battlefield. One's true character is measured by battling with Eggman. What diabolical evil is Dr. Eggman planning this time around?

Is it my imagination, or could it be possible that could play as Eggman? Just a thought, but if Dr. R. is taking out enemy robots...
