Cancellation was inevitable, Archie was cutting down on their action books after the Riverdale show.

Archie Sonic while fun at the start, had lot of baggage especially during the Saturn Dry Spell and the Dreamcast and Sonic Adventure's announcement caught Archie's writing team with their genitals in their hands. Let's not even got started with Penders. Or Bollers.

>Do you think the cancellation was inevitable
More or less. Archie was the final holdout of the wild west days of Sonic. The reboot was able to grandfather in stuff from the DiC cartoons via decades old contracts, but Sega probably always wanted something like IDW. They looked the other way with Archie because it sold well and the "another time, another place" stories could deal out ads for games without much issue, but something had to give eventually.
>do you think it would have ended with a proper finale tying up all the loose ends
Comics that went on as long as Archie Sonic did aren't designed with endings in mind. Endgame was designed as an ending but it still planted seeds for new stories. I think if Ian and co. knew 100% that the comic was ending beforehand, a proper finale could've been planned to tie up the most pertinent loose ends.

I think the reboots pretty much signaled the beginning of the end. I do wish it could have at least gone to issue #300, though.

Which all got burned down when Sega forced Archie to bring back Robotnik for synergy with Adventure.

I heard Archie is being bought up by another company.
I guess their decision to ditch Sonic and make Riverdale comics didn't pan out in the long term.
