However, someone forgot to make it waterproof. In the first of the two actual stories, Robotnik tries to use a mechanical plant called a Krudzu (which actually makes a return in later stories) to smother the Great Forest. 2 fairly soon and I am sure I won't stop reading these even as it changes from the original run to the more serious Adventure/Saga, and then to Universe.“Meet Me At The Corner Of Hedgehog & Vine!” The comics are also high in action and consistently well drawn throughout. The humor is pretty spot on, with a face palm here and there thanks to Sonic's tendencies to want to joke in almost every single speech bubble. I can honestly say the world (surprisingly well thought out and logical despite keeping many of the game's elements intact) and characters are interesting enough to keep me wanting to read. My expectations were low going in considering it is a kid's comic, based on an older video game, in a fairly small format, and focused around zany adventures of anthropomorphic animals instead of deep character building with relatable humans. 1 is a cute and genuinely hilarious collection of episodic adventures that isn't afraid to break the fourth wall, reference its own game (along with other pop culture references of the early 90's), and sneak in some adult humor.
I wouldn't recommend this to adults unless you happened to be a fan in the past, but it's good for kids!
This first volume contains stories about the Krudzu, a monsterous robotic plant Coconut the moneky bot Scratch and Grounder the Universalamader and most importantly, the introduction of Bunnie Rabbot! There's a lot of silly side stories, pin-ups, and general ridiculousness. Not sure how well the older ones hold up for today's young ones, but I enjoyed the nostalgic trip. For cheap $1.50 reads, I think these were amusing comics for kids way back when. There is little consistency, they contain a lot of puns, and they don't aim very high. It was a confused, jumbled mess of a world that didn't make a lot of sense, but the first few issues were just meant to be humourous action comics for kids. The characters were from the SatAM cartoon, the wackiness and some of the robots came from the other Sonic cartoon, and many game elements were present as well. When the Archie Sonic comic started, it was a combination of all the various Sonic media at the time.
I heard some rumours that Sonic might be cancelled (seemingly untrue), and decided it would be fun to read through some old issues on my short breaks. I've been doing a lot of writing work lately which means I take breaks to read weird, inconsequential stuff on the internet. Baby Maggie was a HUGE fan of Sonic when she was younger.
