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

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

Now this is one heck of an interesting subject for today's post. Not only is it the first time that I'll be reviewing an audio story, but this is a Sonic the Hedgehog audio story. This franchise hasn't dabbled much in-terms of auditory media, so this thing really was quite the surprise. For those who don't know about it, the official Sonic YouTube channel released an audio-story titled The Chaotix Casefiles back in February and it was released weekly until the series conclu

Crossovers are those kinds of things that have limitless potential. Just look at ANY fanfiction or fan art and you'll find all kinds of wacky ideas for crossovers. You even get official media that gives us wacky crossovers such as Batman/TMNT or Justice League/Power Rangers or RWBY/Justice League and many, many more. This essay is about one such crossover idea today, and that's "What if characters from Sonic the Hedgehog played Duel Monsters?" Yu-Gi-Oh! is the kind of pre

Written by The Wandering Fox Freddy: Well this is quite the essay. Teddy: Yeah, didn’t the Media Man say it’s redundant because he reviewed it. Yeah he did, but I explained to him that Doctor Who TV, the website, lets it’s members do reviews of episodes to give their own opinions. I thought it’d be nice to give my own opinion on the movie we watched, cos I know Sonic 3 is liked by a lot of people and is a big talking point in our group of friends. Teddy: I see. Will you be

The 2020's really has been Sonic the Hedgehog 's big comeback, hasn't it? After being reduced to a joke during the late 2000's and throughout all of the 2010's, the 2020's feel like they've been taking pity on Sonic and have given him the big break he was looking for. No joke, it's amazing how much things have taken a leap in quality or how Sonic's become so much more popular and beloved since this decade began. He has three critically beloved and successful movies, he got a
