Same, I prefer the Archie series, especially when Ian Flynn started writing.
Oddly, I see some on DA whom demonize Ian for making the comics “more like the games,” (ok, so a comic based on a video game series being true to it’s source material is a “bad thing” now?) which is funny ‘cause I also see game-fans bash Ian for not making them “enough like the games.” (Or for using SatA.M./original characters.)
I always see fans whom only like the game characters, cartoon characters, or comic exclusive characters, and insist the comics should only have characters from one of those fractions, but I enjoy some characters from all of those different things personally.
The fact, Archie mixes game/cartoon/original stuff together is why it’s my favorite canon possibly.

I haven’t read much of Fleetway STC, but it did have some dark & creepy moments, like a scientist dude whom was turned into an abomination made of “Mega muck.” (The purple ooze from Sonic 2’s Chemical Plant Zone) And Robotnik wanting to commit suicide, and take all of Mobius with him later on.
