Sonichu (comic)

Debut episode of the Sonichu comic series

Chris's poorly drawn comic adventures of Sonichu and his (imaginary) friends.

The Sonichu series begins with #0 instead of #1, so readers often lose track of which story happened in which issue. Further confounding matters are the Sub-Episodes about Christian's Love Quest, which appear sporadically throughout #0-4 and are numbered separately from the main stories. So for example, Black Sonichu is introduced in Episode 4, which is the fifth story in the overall series; and the first story in Sonichu #1, which is the second comic.

Issues #0-1 feature Sonichu as the unchallenged star of the series, with Christian as a supporting character also appearing in the backup strips. By issue #2, the comic has seamlessly transitioned to Christian encountering people from his real life in shitty anime battles. Token attempts to tell Sonichu stories and introduce Sonichu spin-off characters are made in #3, but all pretense is dropped in #4-7, as the series becomes a vehicle for Christian Chandler as the leader of a heroic band of muppets battling old women and ineffectual security guards.

Sensing some criticism for the self-centeredness of his work, Christian wrote himself out of the series toward the end of Sonichu #7, trapping the Christian character in the timestream so that the storyline could focus on other characters. Despite this, Sonichu still served as a strong Mary Sue character, as seen in Sonichu fighting 4-cent_garbage.com in Sonichu #8. This self-imposed exile lasted about five minutes, as Christian managed to make a cameo on page 18 of Sonichu #8. He is scheduled to return from the time void altogether in issue #9, giving all non-Christian characters approximately 1 issue to have the spotlight to themselves, during which time they mostly talked about how much they loved Christian and hoped he would return safely.

Following the theft of his Medallions of Fail by Blanca, Christian immediately released a new comic adapting the theft into his fictional canon and explaining that the TRUE source of his power lay in his High School Ring of Fail. Since this story was necessarily set after Christian escapes the time void, it was deemed a special preview of Sonichu #10, despite the fact that Chris had at that point not finished Sonichu #8 or even begun Sonichu #9.

The entire Sonichu series has been faithfully adapted into audiobooks on Youtube.
