A bit slow on the comic updates recently I’ve noticed as Sonic Stadium already featured them a week ago, but I like the covers especially the Sonic Boom one which has a ref to a old Sonic the Hedgehog cover where Sonic says the same thing to Robotnik
They only did an article on them today. The problem is Sonic comic news can come up from anywhere where as other Sonic news is pretty traditional and has a set pattern so Sonic comic news is more difficult to keep track of and can result in being behind or previews being missed for a few days.
No pics of the variants? 🙁
Nope. Just the main covers for now.
No matter, I found them on Disposable Heroes. They were only low-res versions, but enough to help me choose which covers to go for.
Marvel VS Capcom variant FTW!
That’s the one I went for. I’m not all that keen on it, but it’s better than the standard one.
RaceProUK and 100Rings make me want to rip my ears off. Ugh.
Well, that was rather uncalled for. All I asked about was the variant covers.
It’s not the variant thing that upsets me. On the comments of almost every other article, you two argue like children.
Then you should have posted on the other article.
For what it’s worth, I probably won’t bother arguing with him again; it’s become rather tedious and boring.
Their arguing does get annoying sometimes, but I can’t help but admit that without a little bit of drama at times, the comments would feel empty.
So what the heck is behind Nicole?
No idea; guess we’ll just have to read the comic to find out 🙂
It must be the new enemy Phage.
The Batman
Batman? Shoot all this time I thiught it was a cheap rip off, of some pop band.
