Seeing Shadow come to the rescue is pretty exciting. He's an interesting character. Sort of the Vegeta of the Sonic universe. He's tough as they get, but he's not too friendly, yet has good in him for such a bad boy. As for the rest of the story, it looks like a promising newcomer has been added in Belle. It should be interesting to learn more about her in time.
As always, Sonic proves itself to be the best age-appropriate comic of today. IDW's series has proven as well that it stays true to the quality that the Archie series is still remembered for.
