45% of my enjoyment in this issue goes into reading Ant's French accent again :P

I read issue 254 this morning and here are my thoughts.

I had an idea. If they ever make a game for Xbox One, or PS4, then they should make it ludicrously fast, but the here's the difference; a slow motion button. Whenever you come across an obstacle, then you can press a button and things will slow down. The more times you press it, the slower things get. I think it would be a way to keep the flow of running.

Oh, for the love of... This won't end will it? I don't think this going to do even Penders much good. The man managed to get out of that original legal war with a barely clean nose and now he's wanting a second round!? I'm sorry, but I get the feeling he's got some sort of chip on his shoulder and it's not just to do with the copyright.

Oh of course. Bates and Yardely are just epic at pencils. It was like they were born to draw Sonic.

I see what you mean. I know it isn't particularly Sonic-ish, but it fits in well with the comic. I just hope they get him to do another story arc for the comic.

Yeah, I think if he had pencilled it, I may have had more interest in reading it, but to be honest the pencils that were actually used for it just have no appeal to me.

I love how Rafaela Knight's got a new gig with Archie. Her work is just outstanding :D The secondary cover's not too bad as well, but I love the CGI cover so much, I wish I could physically have it! Also, I have to agree with Simon. There were some bad stories with issue 100 through 159, but there are some I really like to read. However, that Chaos Knuckles arc was just too much for me.

As Homer Simpson would say "DOH!" I meant to that the comic hasn't stopped being fun to read :wacko:

It's cool, I know how you feel ;) I too wanted there to be at least some closure to those stories, but what can you do? I'm afraid the legal system works in many annoying and confusing ways. Why Mobius can't be used anymore I have no idea and isn't it a bit pernickety of Sega not to want Sega characters have parents anymore? Sigh, there's so many problems and irritations, but at least the comic hasn't stopped being fun to read.

Ironic really, since in real life we'd find it weird to call Earth Mobius ;)

Thanks for posting the scans :) Looks like a certain Werehog is coming soon ;)

Has anyone seen the scores Lost World's been getting? I mean opinions are all over the place! Some say it's perfect, others say it's terrible. You know what? I think I'll see what the walkthrough folks at Youtube think of it. That'll probably involve less head scratching over these crazy madhouse reviews.

It's not up on the site yet, so nope. I haven't seen it.

I feel it was a bit anti climatic. When I read issue 247 and saw how easily she was deactivated, I felt it to be an ending that had-if any- little punch. Issue 252 just solidified this anti climax. It would have been better to have more suspense and action then how it was actually done.

Yes, I knew it! And the graphics look super sharp :D Now we can have a Mega Man and Sonic fight like the one in the comics.

I heard Ian said he had "plans" for Shard. "Wipes sweat of forehead." Phew! I was starting to worry about his future for a moment. Now I've got hopes he's in CTC :)

Oh no, T-Pup's still with us.

Oh, sorry I guess I just misunderstood :wacko:

About not putting spoilers in my review.

Oh...Er sorry about that, I wasn't thinking :unsure:

Well, I've gotta say issue 56 was a good read and gave us a few stories to tell, but I think I preferred last issue. But don't get me wrong, I loved the Sprockets. They looked quite cute for robots :P And as usual we see Marine being as pompous and as annoying as ever, but it was so nice to see that panel where Amy tells her to stop. And Bean (once again) was pretty much stealing the show with his antics. The part where he offers Blaze a smoothie was just a real tickler on the ribs! Yardely! really knows how to get Bean's characterisations perfect. However, I sort of wanted to see more of Blaze in action. Truth is we haven't seen her fighting pirates at all so far. For this entire issue she remains locked up like a lion in a zoo. And the verdict? Honestly I think this arc will have a marvellous second half, but this story's taking its time to get into the full swing of things 8/10. And I'm still waiting for Bark to do something.
