Sonic and Knuckles team up, and it's just like old times-until two new villains show up. With a group of villagers under attack, will even the combined forces of these two heroes be enough to take down Rough and Tumble???
Ian Flynn writes amazing Sonic the Hedgehog comic book stories and we are getting to see him do that with this rebooted series. This third issue shows no sign of any kind of lull in the near future for this series. It is full of excitement and comradery which is exactly what I read Sonic the Hedgehog comics for. With a different artist for all of these issues, the art is always fresh. In this issue, get to see Jennifer Hernandez’s Sonic the Hedgehog artwork which is always great and just adds a little extra to make this third issue another amazing one. Read Full Review
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #3 is the most fun I've had with any recent comic (other than the others in the series). Ian Flynn wastes no time in progressing the series by having Sonic meet up with Knuckles to investigate suspicious behavior in a southern settlement. What results is best described as a "buddy cop" adventure -- full of way more humor than I expected. The perspicacious art of Jennifer Hernandez, complemented by the colors of Heather Breckel, brings believable emotion to this character-driven plot, making it my favorite issue yet in the series.

Its hard to find complaints in a book that is just this good, everything works and the teams plays off each other very well. Writer Ian Flyn nails the personality of each character and the art teams perfectly showcase each character and makes the book really pop Read Full Review
Sonic continues his tour of duty this week and Knuckles is along for the ride. It's actually the villains that steal the show and while this series definitely has a formula early on, it's fun and it all looks fantastic. If you are a Sonic fan, there is no reason at all not to be checking this out. Read Full Review
As said before, this issue was fun, the re-introduction to all of these heroes and odd characters like the Wisps makes this world grow in such a small time. Hernandez's art wasn't my favorite in this issue, this one seemed a bit too cartoony and very comic book-ish. Read Full Review
Old fans will still find some enjoyment out of it but if you're not a fan of the blue speedster, you'll end up passing up on him. Read Full Review
If the first three issues are setting the stage for what's to come, the play really needs to start soon. Read Full Review
Was going to rate this lower simply because the art wasn't as much to my liking (not that it's bad, just a little more rounded off and kid-ish) but the story is starting to ramp up and that keeps it in line with the consistency of the last two issues.
It continues to be simple and will definitely please younger kids, but I actually found myself enjoying this one myself. It must have been because Knuckles was always my favourite of the Sonic characters.
It's does continue the great chemistry from the previous 2 comics, but the art by Jen Hernandez is a major downgrade coming off of Adam Bryce Thomas and Tracy Yardley. This also has a bit too much exposition and relies on knowledge of the games to get the relationship between The Wisps and Sonic, something that the other issues, including this one, didn't feel the need to do at all. That said, I'm still looking forward to the next comic and I would recommend this to young sonic fans.
