Much better than I remembered it being, an easy jumping on point but also has enough there that big fans can fill in the blanks of what has already happened from.the games and stuff. I think it maybe it leave a little too much blank for a jumping on point but overall it's fine. Really like the structure of slowly introducing the cast issue by issue. Found Evan Stanley through this and her art is just incredible, monumentally more excited when I see her style pop up as I flip into a new issue.

Background: I’ve always liked the idea of Sonic. I watched Sonic Underground as a child and I remember drawing fanart and even creating a few OCs (lost to time, unfortunately) but I never enjoyed the games – just not my style of gameplay. I figured the comics would be a good way for me to engage with the franchise. Also, I’ve been fascinated by Metal Sonic since Mario & Sonic: London 2012 and I’d heard the IDW series features him prominently.
I was not disappointed.
This was a lot of fun! I was worried at first that the pacing would be marred by having to introduce all the main characters before the story can actually start, but the comics did a good job of weaving the plot into those early scenes and getting the ball rolling immediately. The narrative flows well. There’s lots of action but also some contemplative moments. Fantastic artwork throughout. Not sure about the design of Metal Sonic’s “Master Overlord” form but in a way it kind of works, in that he’s straying too far from the Sonic model. Blaze was rad as hell. Silver was surprisingly cute. I had a great time reading this :)
