A good character-building issue fleshing out those new and established. Read Full Review

It's rare for Flynn to write such a ho-hum issue. This has probably been the weakest issue since the halfway point through the metal virus saga. Aside from the usual "I know I can rely on my friends" stuff all it was was the usual heroes vs. Badniks stuff, minus Dr. Eggman. Where is he in all this anyway? Usually he gets involved by now. That's one of his better qualities as a villain. He's usually more willing to be on the front line instead of watch from his base and complaining when he's defeated like some weak do-nothing anime villain.
If Flynn can't come up with better stuff maybe he'd better completely turn the reins over to Stanley. I know it's harder to find stuff to work with here than it was on the Archie series, but come on Ian. You can definitely do much better than this. Though it got monotonous and tiring the Metal virus saga was even more exciting than this. Let's just hope this arc picks up.
This is definitely not the Archie series. That's for sure, but Sonic comics should be far more exciting than this. I've seen one too many once great comics go into decline because of lack of that oomph they once had in recent years. I pray that fate doesn't befall Sonic as well. more
