I can see what Spaz was going for with the CD cover but it feels like when he wanted to go for the style of it’s animated sequences he cranked it up to 12 rather than 10 resulting in it looking too exaggerated. It’s show close to being dead on that it annoying.
So Genesis of a hero will be a Sonic CD adaptation? AWESOME! I was really hoping for a flashback arc!
Sonic CD adaptation in the main issues? This either means:
-They are just filling up space so that the big culmination of the current arc or the beginning of the next one lands on issue #300
-They are planing to integrate aspects of Sonic CD plot into a new story (time travel most probably).
@Kid Kaos and Raw
Have you two not seen the previous two covers and solicitations? The “Genesis of a Hero” arc is basically the footnotes version of how the core four classic games happened in the post-SGW world.
288 will cover Sonic 1, 289 = Sonic 2, 290 is obviously Sonic CD, and 291 will most likely be S3&K. Hopefully after this we also see how the Dreamcast and beyond era games took place.
