What they got right: Each 50th issue is the big Sonic/Robotnik battle, so here it is again. Now I've been out of the Sonic loop for quite a few years, ever since Archie tried shoehorning three separate stories into one normal-sized comic. (At the time, there was a story for Sonic, Knuckles, and the "Tales of the Freedom Fighters" stories.) Now that they've seemed to both drop that nonsense and created a new jump-on point for the readers, I may well be making my return to Mobius. I wonder if my old place is still up for rent?
What they got wrong: To be honest, this battle didn't seem as epic as early Sonic/Robotnik big battles. Sure, there's no "Ultimate Annihilator" here, but the fight seems to end rather quickly. I don't know, it just feels lacking.
Special note: It's been a long time since I've gone through my Sonic comics, but while I do recognize the new badette in town, I'm hoping next issue gives older and returning readers a refresher course while giving new readers a proper introduction.
Recommendation: A good time to return to the Sonic comic for me, but I would track down #199 before reading this comic.
