Flynn's story has been entertaining, and his cliffhanger endings make the book childishly entertaining, as though it is a television episode. Read Full Review

Time will tell if IDW has what it takes to carry Sonic's legacy from Archie. So far, there's good reason to hope, but there's also some niggling doubts that I hope will be smoothed out soon. Read Full Review

Another solid issue, more intros to classic characters, great characterization though the story doesn't seem to move as far forward considering how fast paced this series seems to be moving.

I enjoyed seeing the Chaotix crew interact with sonic and I love the cliffhanger but did anyone reading this actually buy the Dr. Eggman amnesiac schtick? Because if you did then you probably didn't pay attention to the last issue, or the prologue, or the fact that this exact plot has been done in multiple children-aimed stories over & over again. It's also a shame that Jamal Peppers art is still being mostly wasted with lazy script's. Still, I enjoyed it and I'm really looking forward to the next one.
