Yo the resistance is still a thing? You’d think after the mostly negative reception of forces they’d scrap that idea but ok cool I guess?
It didn’t retcon itself, the Resistance is STILL a good idea, even if the game wasn’t the greatest, and this is probably the closest thing we’ll get to the Freedom Fighters.
Woo! Blaze!
Sounds like IDW is starting with a Sonic Forces aftermath.
It feels like a family reunion seeing Ian and all these artists back at work on Sonic after so long. I’m excited.
Anyone know where to pre order these comics?
I wish they would’ve gotten rid of Ian. Or at least, I hope Ian has gotten over the problem of needing 4 issues to tell a 2 issue story, and needing 12 issues to tell a issue story. All of those endless fight scene for padding made me stop subscribing to the old one. (Treasure Team Tango exemplifies everything wrong with his writing style.)
