Mmm..Finally I can read the off shoots from STH. I've actually read quite a few of these already so that sucked but it was expected since I've been a long time collector of sonic comics but I am missing on some of the off shoots so I felt it was a good idea to pick up these.

My complaint is the books are tiny, smaller than an average comic so overal it means the pannels have been shrunk which makes me wonder why they didn't print it with a normal comic size? Lots of trades do this.

This is kind of fine at best. It's weird that the comics do not take time to really slowly move through the source material. The stuff in here that's not from the videogames is pretty weak and cursory.

Growing pains?

I own it and all I have to say is this is how comics used to be like

[Maggie Gordon · Rating 3 out of 5]

For an early Sonic comic, this collection is pretty decent. It features a bunch of stories from the first three 48 page specials that came out in the early 1990s. Sonic in Your Face had a nice (albeit weird) Sally story about her discovering how Nicole came to be. It's oddly paced and feels a bit out of sync with the scifi nature of the world, but it does start presenting Princess Sally as a competent, thoughtful leader, something most princess stories at the time were not doing.

There are two major Sonic and Knuckles stories as well, both mostly featuring the two fighting with one another, but then realising there's another villain responsible. Somehow these are less irritating than some of the future stories in the main comics, possibly because the tone of the stories is still silly in these issues. None of it matches up with the later lore, but honestly, I am rapidly discovering that the Knuckles comics I loved so much as a kid are... not that great! There's a bunch of one shots featuring the character here and they are so slow and don't really do much to coherently build up his world. They are not the worst, but... definitely could be written better.

Finally, there's a couple one-shots with Tails, and a story featuring the Substitute Freedom Fights that are quite fun. Overall, that sums up this volume: kinda silly, full of heart, and lots of fun. For a Sonic comic, that's pretty good! I can imagine it might be weird for reads to pick this up though given how many changes the series went through stylistically, but it was a nice little nostalgic moment for me!

This is a great way to read a lot of the specials...which sometimes had richer stories and artwork than the regular series. Over time, the specials were a way to build up stories in the main comic's ongoing storylines.

My children and grandchildren love the sonic video games, having the sonic books for them makes reading fun and that means they will read more and more, always a great thing.
