Bonds of Friendship
I'm really glad they gave Tangle and Whisper more play in this annual, they're really good friends and work well together, it's really no wonder they got their own spin-off.
Also I 100% did NOT expect to see the Babylon Rogues in this comic like, at all. So that was fun, makes me think I should bust out that old racing game!

Jet Set Tornado
This is definitely before the Metal Virus Saga, so peacetimes abound. It's nice to see Sonic and Tails just kind of paling out. Also, nice of Tails to correct Sonic that what most of us know as a 'barrel roll' is actually an 'aileron roll'.

Victory Garden
Aww, not much to say, but Silver and Blaze make a garden together and it's super sweet. Good job everyone

Curse of the Pyramid
Rough & Tumble finally got their Team Rocket intro to work and in so proud of them. It's kind of nice to see Rogue do the hero thing, even if she did it for the price of treasure.

Sonic Fan Club!
That was pretty cute. This seemed pretty accurate for a bunch of kids making a fan club, then throwing themselves immediately headlong into danger, but low stakes. Tangle tries to help and tangles herself, then Sonic saves the day off screen. Kind of fun

This is a perfectly fine collection of vignettes from the universe of the rebooted Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series.

None of the stories are duds, but I wouldn't consider this required reading. My favourite was the Tangle & Whisper story, for its hint-of-insight into Whisper. Extra points to the Rouge story for making Rough & Tumble interesting.

A fun epilogue to the Battle for Angel Island storyline, its nice seeing the Sonic cast just living their day to day life instead of always fighting something.

Tangle and Whisper are a great team

Fun fast paced stories that create way more growth for the characters!
