Agreed, I've seen plenty of artists do awesome things with the echidna characters themselves, where the style is far removed from the SEGA default but the characters are still clearly recognizable... I just also get the sense that none of said artists are willing to work for Penders. Alternatively, I'd also be willing to bet that Penders thinks he can do it all himself and wouldn't be willing to work with outside artists anyway. Probably a little of column A. and a little of column B. I wouldn't be surprised if some artists didn't want to work with him out of potentially angering Sega and not getting gigs from them eventually or just because Ken Penders is Ken Penders and has said some really uh.. unnecessary stuff. and B. Ken probably either doesn't want outside help, or has some insane contract demands with outside help. I still can't believe he won because Archie comics lost his contract... How the hell does a business that's been going since the 50's LOSE a contract. It happens, apparently Marvel lost some of their Work for Hire contracts from the 80s too. Shady assholes in their legal department tried to get Jim Shooter to sign away rights to certain characters from Secret Wars by offering him a book deal and trying to trick him into retroactively signing a WFH deal. Shooter, unlike Penders, knew his work was done WFH as he was Editor in Chief at the time, so didn't kick up the sort of fuss he probably should have. www.cbr.com/jim-shooter-marvel-secret-wars-live-action/If the past 50 years have taught us anything, it's that comics companies are amateur hour for the most part.

Penders also just seems like someone who if you did work with him would somehow try to claim your other projects as also belonging to him, given how he's so up his own ass he was talking about potential legal action over the fact that the Sonic 2 movie gave Knuckles a dad.

This is like seeing George Newman reveal the mystery of what was in Al Capone's glove compartment.
