    Well, existance-erased people is sure a dark thing to tell a story about!

    The problem is they can't talk about some of those dissapeared characters. But still, there are some deep moments in the new comics...

    Like when the Eggman Armada wiped out the Sky Patrol, and in one page Nicole seemed to be erased. That chapter was deep IMO.

    So yeah, there's a nice balance between comedy and drama.

    What I was refering to with that "darkness" is that some characters might receive more serious stories than others. Like Team Dark (no pun intended)

    Because when it comes down too it, Eggman murdered a significant portion of the cast and Sonic couldn't stop him.  (And then you had all the official publications going 'This reboot will be great cause...' and that made me feel a little sick.)

    Well, they were not technically "murdered", but instead erased from existance... or something like that?.

    I don't know what's worse...

    Thanks for the info about her powers, I wasn't sure where they came from.

    So, basically, both girls are totally under the control of their "puddins", but that's where the similarities end.

    Gotta say that recently, Harley Quinn is developing her own character aside from the Joker, (probably due to her increasing popularity), whereas Thunderbolt might find it hard to develop herself without Eggman's influence, as I see. But who knows...

    I don't follow the Fleetway comics, but I've read some of them, and yeah, they take on darker stuff... sometimes TOO dark.

    And yeah, I get the 4-chapter idea. It's great if you want to just read an auto-conclusive story that focuses on secondary characters.

    But I sometimes felt that they could extend some arcs for 6 episodes, for example.

    I really like this new take on the comics. I am into superhero comics too, and I felt this Genesis Wave was some kind of "Flashpoint-like" thing in order to reboot the series, so I am okay with that. Also, I love that they aproached the games more, as well as including cameos and references from the whole videogame universe. BTW, the most recent artists are great, from Yardley on: Ben Bates, Evan Stanley, Diane Skelly, Jennifer Hernandez... and a lot more. The artwork is more Sonic-like thanks to this people.

    If I had to say something bad about it was that due to the reboot some storylines never got finished, and they were darker than this new way they've taken, and some story arcs ended too quickly and felt a little rush (specially in Sonic Universe).

    I always felt that Sonic comics could be a little darker and more serious. Not reaching violent or too dramatic themes, but just taking some events more seriously.

    I see a significant difference between these two cases.

    Harley has (almost) no physical superiority over the Joker. Thunderbolt, unlike Eggman, has a natural? superpower, that lightning thingy (though I'm not sure if it's truly natural or if that "tiara" she wears is what gives her powers), so, in a way, she has some kind of advantage in the case of a conflict with Robotnik. Sure, she's her "sidekick", but a really dangerous one...

    Other than that, yeah, their relationships are quite similar, but the backstory of the Doctor and the Chinchilla sure is completely different from the Clown and her jester...
