Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy: This is quite a surprise, didn’t think he’d try this for the blog. Teddy: Well you gotta give it to him, he has his ideas. And I only hope this idea works out. I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t get many views but hey, I wanted to share it. Hey everybody it’s me, the Wandering Fox, and as you can see by the title I thought of this. Sonic the Hedgehog and Doctor Who. Can such a crossover work? Well we kinda did have it already. No Sonic, th

Part 1 here. Greetings Sonic fans! Welcome back to the Way Past Cool Retrospective! Last time, I covered Issues 160-170. They weren't very good. So hopefully this batch of issues will be an improvement. For this line-up, we're covering Issues 171-179. For these issues, we have Shadow's backstory being explored, Fiona turning traitor, the marriage of Bunnie and Antoine, Flynn's first milestone issue and a two-parter about Sonic and Tails fighting each other! ... Wait, what was

I'll never forget how for a period of my life, I was actually a fan of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic book. It was around the 2010's period when I first discovered this comic. Around 2010 or so, I got back into the Sonic franchise and just wanted to consume all things Sonic related (don't take that the wrong way). I began rewatching Sonic X , I played several games I'd never played before, including the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 game, I began regularly reading the

The fifth instalment of The Silverlock Sisters series. The Boy At Thunder Manor is my fifth book and a brand new adventure that sees Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire holidaying in the Scottish highlands, only for Ruby to end up stumbling across the mysterious Thunder Manor. This story promises suspenseful mysteries, creepy twists and turns and a lot of romance.

Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy: Oh man it’s a shame we didn’t get in on the Chaotix Casefiles collab. Teddy: I know but I’m fine with it, gave us a break from doing it. Freddy: Fair enough. I hope Wandering Fox has watched himself over Easter, he needs to stay on the wagon. Teddy: Hmmm, let’s see. He’s just eaten his last hot cross buns on Easter Sunday. He wants it out of the way so he can concentrate on his diet. Freddy: Good! Gotta watch our weight! That we do an

I have now finished this epic rewatch of all the films in Pixar’s library to date and holy moley it’s been one heck of an adventure! Each time I revisited these movies, I went in and was greeted by a plethora of wonderfully imaginative stories, even if some weren’t quite as strong as the others, I

Week 1 , Week 2 , Week 3 , Week 4 , Week 5 , Week 6 , Week 7 , Week 8 , Week 9 , Week 10 , Week 11 and Week 12 here. This was a very different kind of Pixar movie. Not only is it meant to be some kind of definitive origin story for our favourite Space Ranger, but it’s also the very movie which Andy watched and made him want the toy he got for his birthday. Naturally this is something unique itself as far as premises go, but it doesn’t entirely live up and before anyone says
