Comments
-Eggman was Eggman's original name in Japanese, and it was integrated into international translations way back in 1999. -As of the reboot, Sally and Sonic are just friends because the writer was sick of the relationship drama amongst fans pre-reboot (where they were an on-off item). -Again, due to the nature of the reboot, she's always worn more than a pair of boots here. Same for the other designs being different. -Sonic not appearing was deliberate, as there are mandates in place that can't imply him aging. Since the characters are clearly going through a passage of time here, he wouldn't be allowed. -The Freedom Fighters cover the globe in the reboot (hence the Sky Patrol), a single standing army in Mobotropolis wouldn't cover that. -Nicole...you need to go back about a decade to #155 for that, because the reboot just carried on what started from there. -The death trap thing...actually, no clue on that one. He is the weapons expert, but that would not include impaling spikes. -Uh, that's not quite why they reset. See, the comics were pretty far away from SatAM when it ended, and the reset both allowed them to be closer to the games (which because of the nature of the comic before, they'd struggled to mesh with) and to, let's say, absolve themselves of some red tape. -If you want to know why they were so nonchalant about their changes, #252-256 is the real start you want. -The prelude needs backstory because Worlds Unite was forced on the writers while they were in the middle of writing the regular arc, so it kinda got wedged in. -Comics are weird? That's just the comic adapting a game plot. Gaia temples were part of that plot. -I would say that Eggman reacting so calmly would be because he'd seen it before, but Eggman wasn't in Sonic Rivals 2, so yeah that's an odd one unless the comic has it involve him. Sonic definitely has seen it before, though. -The footnotes were worse pre-reboot. Yeah, there were a lot. -There isn't actually much of a complex multiverse now. There used to be, but it got gone with the reboot. -Genesis portals aren't as simple to control as that, as seen in the rest of Worlds Unite. But I wouldn't want to read Worlds Unite myself. Been a fan of your stuff for a good while now, but I just had to take a gander here when you crossed over into my favourite franchise. Looking forward to future reviews!
