The story was boring and the art was plain. It was super cliched and corny. I’m not a Sonic hater, but this issue was rough. There isn’t anything to be a part of. It’s hard to be fully invested in the story. The issue is stuffed with regular dialog and jokes we’ve heard thousands of times. The heroes said generic hero things, and the villains said generic villain things. Sonic and Knuckles were never in a struggle. They were never really in a jam, and they always seemed to have the upper hand. At no point in time were the heroes in peril. They were always winning. It’s like if the Falcons had never lost that 28-3 lead, and had won 40-6. The actual Super Bowl was far more interesting because impossible odds were destroyed. Blowouts often aren’t as fun. Stepping away from football analogies, and Falcons jabs, stories need conflict. I imagine it’s one of the first things learned as a writer or even a consumer. Everyone knows that nothing is supposed to come easily. This issue did not have any real problems for the heroes to struggle with. The comic was just twenty pages of Sonic and Knuckles being cocky, and arrogant without anything stopping them.
