I know you're trying to draw in your Sonic Fanbase with previews of upcoming comics and plot points, but this is getting ridiculous. You guys are actually SPOILING THE READER.

Let me tell you 3 times where Archie Comics spoiled a good plot point for the sake of preview:

1.Sally surviving Dr. Eggman's gun turret, then getting roboticized. (Spoiled by a reveal of Issue 231 at Comic-Con 2011)
2.Sally getting de-roboticized, with a new design. (Spoiled by a reveal in 2012 which was leaked onto the internet)
3.In issue 250, Sonic becoming... uh... (well, I can't spoil this plot point for those who don't want to know, do I? ;P But, it was released on the Bumbleking Forums.)

As a result of these info leaks, I've seen fanart of these spoilers around deviantART.

Now, some people might think "Oh, it's the artist's fault for drawing a picture to make the spoiler more widespread."

:iconletter-nplz::iconletter-oplz:

Archie, keep your storylines secret, so that way they have more impact!

I know I'm sounding like a whiny no-lifer (like these guys: [link] who riffs on stuff for no reason. Also, to be honest, I don't actually have enough information for that third argument. I saw an image of that plot point which has sort of changed my opinion of whether or not they were going to actually use it in the comic. I was spoiled a bit about it back in 2012, but that was too early to tell, and I took it as a POSSIBLE plot point, thus, I felt fine.

It's just I'm seeing information about the comics that I DON'T want to know. (It's like that big fiasco with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows spoilers being leaked by idiots back in 2007.) The only way I can see prevention of this information from becoming widespread is to cut it off at the source.

IN SHORT: Archie Comics is releasing story-changing plot point spoilers. When I finally get to the comic in question, I won't be surprised, and that's a problem.

Now I'm waiting for them to release a spoiler that's wildly misleading and fools everyone.
