Part 1 and Part 2 and Part 3 here. Now we're getting into some really big issues! This part will be the most interesting for me to cover of any part of this retrospective. Why? Because we're entering the period where we got the fall of Dr. Eggman and the rise of the Iron Dominion. During my days as a fan of Archie Sonic, the Iron Dominion saga was genuinely my favourite period of the comic. Yes really. This arc that is infamous for being padded out and full of characters catc

Part 1 and Part 2 here. Welcome back to A Way Past Cool Retrospective everybody! I hope you're enjoying it so far and are ready for more as we go into Part 3. For this part, I'm covering Enerjak Reborn, the Mammoth Mogul saga and the Bold New Moebius saga. That's a lot of issues to cover, so let's just get right into it! Oh and if you feel I've been too negative towards the comic so far, rest assured, I'm going to be a little more positive this time around as I feel these are

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

Two years ago, I did a retrospective of the Luz and Amity romance in The Owl House . So I thought for Valentine's Day this year, I'd do another retrospective on another romantic pairing I have a huge soft spot for. And that couple is Tails and Cosmo from Sonic X . This image never fails to make me smile, let me tell you. ^^ Sonic X was my introduction to Sonic the Hedgehog , something I'm sure many fans will pity me for given the show's...polarizing reception, shall we say? I
