Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 here. Last time we saw the fall of Dr. Eggman, the rise of Snively, the formation of the Iron Dominion and the fall of said dominion. As of now, things are unsettled in New Mobotropolis thanks to Nicole being corrupted, Eggman's back in charge and Sonic and Sally are a couple again. So how does this next batch of issues turn out? Let's dive in, and I'm covering quite a lot of them today. We're going over issues which introduced more chapters

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.
