COMIC NOTES

‘Overkill’ was completed 17/09/06.
It’s a non-storyline wreckslet and is more of a commentary on the growing number of hedgehogs in the Sonicverse.
Club Rouge of course features in Sonic Battle.
The name ‘Rouge’ in this instance uses the Fatboy Slim font.
This comic features the at the time unnamed (officially) mysterious purple crystalline hedgehog who caused all the fuss – later revealed to be Mephilies.
Disclaimer time! ‘There ain’t no party like an S-Club party!’ is from ‘S Club Party’ by S Club 7.
‘Downtown’s been caught by the hysteria.’ is a line from Alcazar’s ‘Crying At The Discotheque’
Whilst, for the comic’s title – ‘The only way
to feel the noise is when it’s good and loud.’ comes from ‘Overkill’ by Motörhead.
It was Inter Galactica Dance Club who did the infamous remix track: ‘Super Sonic Dance Attack’ whilst it’s usage references The Beastie Boys’ song ‘Interglactic’ – ‘Intergalactic planetary. Planetary intergalactic.’
The neckerchief stuff is another Alcazar reference, this time being the line ‘You wore a tie like
Richard Gere.’
The multiple striped toothpaste is a nod to the brand ‘Aquafresh’.
The white stripe description being all about the band The White Stripes.
