Thank God this shit didn't get pitched.
Seriously, fuck Ken Penders.
who is ken penders?
[QUOTE=Ithon;51707126]who is ken penders?[/QUOTE]
One of Archie's old writers and "artists" (if you can even call him that) who's ego rivals that of such acclaimed individuals like Andrew Dobson or Mr. Enter, even sharing a number of characteristics from both of them.
He also has a very strange and overbearing fixation for Knuckles the Echidna and overall wants his shit covered hands to touch the Sonic franchise one way or another (which no way in hell is going to happen).
[QUOTE=Ithon;51707126]who is ken penders?[/QUOTE]
Adding to Kyuros' post, he once took offense to how "his" characters were being used in a sonic game and tried to sue EA / Sega, despite not actually owning the rights to them
The resulting legal battle ended with him winning on a technicality, Archie losing the rights to a bunch of characters and literally having to reboot the comic universe to kill them off
Just read [URL="http://greenyvertekins.tumblr.com/post/105013217864/why-so-many-satam-fans-as-well-knuckles-fans-hate"]this[/URL] for a more detailed synopsis to see why the guy is a complete laughing stock.
Fun fact: he also once [URL="http://68.media.tumblr.com/3a3cfb36f80f059c573d2ecd35dd9d6b/tumblr_inline_nu2cskl6zJ1re1bwb_400.png"]traced Anthony Mackie's face for one of his covers[/URL] for no reason whatsoever.

Never forget
I can't find it, but he had a movie trailer about his OCs that was entirely live action. All I remember was a gif of it of a guy opening up wings on his back and flying with 10/10 editing.
IIRC there were backgrounds ripped from Unreal Tournament.

Sounds like that was ripped straight out of a fan fiction.

Yeah, I know. I meant that the [I]context[/I] of a Holocaust poem being used for a dramatic Sonic story sounds like something only a fan fiction would be stupid enough to pull off.

[QUOTE=Ithon;51707126]who is ken penders?[/QUOTE]
imagine if chris chan got a job actually writing an official piece of sonic media and proceeded to turn it into a mary sue infested confusing sci fi epic

Sonic & Knuckles & Knuckles & Knuckles & Knuckles & Knuckles...
How did this guy get a job originally?
Oh ho ho, I know Penders was a hack but I didn't think he was this bad.
Did he not also try and publish his own series or whatever based around what was basically his OC donut steel?
Edit:
Oh God he did; the Lara Su Chronicles holy shit

I have never seen this one, but it instantly reminded me of Niyi Osundare's Not My Business, I think it was far later and might have been inspired by.

They picked Akanni up one morning
Beat him soft like clay
And stuffed him down the belly
Of a waiting jeep.
What business of mine is it
So long they don’t take the yam
From my savouring mouth?
They came one night
Booted the whole house awake
And dragged Danladi out,
Then off to a lengthy absence.
What business of mine is it
So long they don’t take the yam
From my savouring mouth?
Chinwe went to work one day
Only to find her job was gone:
No query, no warning, no probe –
Just one neat sack for a stainless record.
What business of mine is it
So long they don’t take the yam
From my savouring mouth?
And then one evening
As I sat down to eat my yam
A knock on the door froze my hungry hand.
The jeep was waiting on my bewildered lawn
Waiting, waiting in its usual silence.[/quote]
