sth_256-0After the crossover threw Sonic’s world into disarray, Sonic and Tails have been fighting to solve the mystery of the changes at hand.

  1. Sigh. It looks like Amy’s character is still as awful and annoying as ever.

    Sally looks kind of cute in her redesign, though. And this comes from someone who never liked her (she’s too boring and uninteresting… though I’ll give her props for not being as annoying as Amy). Still, if they wanted to make the comics closer to the games (which I can respect), why didn’t they simply get rid of her and the other lame SatAM/Archie characters?

  2. OK, I didn’t mind the change when 252 came out, now things are starting to get interesting!! The Sonic multiverse being damaged could make for an interesting plot point from here on out. Maybe Sonic and pals could visit the zones still in existence and do something like find the Chaos Emeralds to make sure the multiverse doesn’t die.

  3. ARM BLADES…

    AARRRRRMMM BLAAAADDDEEESS!

    Cool to see one of the best parts of Metal Sally remained…

  4. HA!!! I KNEW Sally’s new outfit had something to do with her upgraded metal form!! Totally called it!

  5. So… is this the new universe where was never roboticized or had been deroboticized? Either way, arm blades remind me of Shade, which is cool.

  6. I read the issue yesterday, and it is amazing! Believe me, the reunion is really cute 😀 And i’m not just saying that because I’m a Sonally fan!

  7. I’m glad Sally and Amy both got their memories back at the same time. Though I did feel sorry for Sally finding out about all the things she did in the old world.
