Thinking Back On This Post And Learning More And More About The Production Of Halo 4 And 5 I Can't Help

I mean, its not like Chief is completely and totally unquestionably loyal to the UNSC. In Halo 3 he puts his trust in Cortana over Lord Hood's orders + the whole Del Rio plotline in 4. (I would use Halo 5 as an example but I don't like that game's story)

"Master Chief and Doomguy would be best friends." Master Chief was an abducted child supersolider created to crush human rebellions who is unerringly loyal to the fascist military that created him. Doomguy canonically beat his commanding officer to death for ordering him to shoot civilians. No they would not.

Halo 4 is probably the piece of media that I have the biggest love/hate relationship with.

It feels so close to being something great but doesn't quite hit the mark.

Not to mention how its a game that was the start of a storyline/trilogy that didn't really go anywhere, leaving the feeling that it was the start of something special that never got a proper follow up

Oh hey, I remember this level of Halo 3

The fact of the matter is that they don't actually follow the Christian faith.

And so when actual Christian doctrine gets put in front of them (i.e. humility, compassion, and charity) they are flabergasted.

They will talk a big game about how important their faith is, but will turn a blind eye to someone in need because of ignorance, hate, or greed. Even though the Bible calls upon you to "Feed the hungry", "Clothe the naked", and to treat all people with dignity and kindness.

The only way to really make a change is to continue to push on this like Pope Francis does here. To be unwavering in your good nature. Regardless of what doctrine or philosophy you choose to anchor yourself around.

I genuinely think there was no greater insight into the modern Christian mindset than when the Pope said he very much hoped Hell was empty and he was absolutely hounded by both Catholics and Protestants outraged at the idea of a man who wanted a place of infinite suffering to have nobody in it.

This is amazing!

Another part of my Archie redraw series! With cover #3, this wraps up the original miniseries !

Timelapse of this is available on my Bluesky.

Some thoughts on this piece and on this issue below ⤵️

So, my initial plan was to do a Green Hill Loop, but incorporate more greenery and flora to actually make it feel like Green Hill and not just a basic grid. You can see a bit of that rough sketch at the very beginning of my timelapse.

But ultimately, I decided to stick to the abstract route and instead pulled directly from Sonic Mania for inspiration! I feel like nothing best captures that classic sonic aesthetic than that retro deco.

I also kind of found it fitting to pull inspo from Mania's OP for this one since Tyson Hesse mentioned before that this very cover was what inspired him to become an animator in the first place when discussing his cover for IDW #50.

I tried to fit as many Sonics as I could but ultimately skipped out on one, so there's 7 instead of 8 lol. I wanted to ensure that the "speediest" Sonic have his face covered by the quills of the Sonic still tapping his foot, as something I disliked about the original is the speediest Sonic overlapping the standing one. By all accounts, he should be Behind him and the other Sonics follow that suit, but if that particular Sonic did, his face would be covered. As a result, I compromised lol.

As for my thoughts on this issue!!!! I don't really have much haha. Ultimately, it's not going to be an issue I'm going to remember. It was just a fun silly issue, but there's not much there to really comment on. It was nice to see some more of Uncle Chuck though!!

With all that said, we're finally getting to the Actual series now and I can't wait ! <3
