Today’s issue starts with Sonic not quite managing to meet his treadmill expectations, before stopping so take a shower out in the middle of Green Hill. So there you have it, folks, if you’ve ever wondered where Sonic lives, the answer has been here all along - he just leaves random household appliances around Green Hill and I guess everyone lets him do that

I guess chili dog lore hasn’t been established yet, because Sonic stops to have some burgers, before Tails gets kidnapped by what looks like bacon, but is actually more badniks. The badniks threaten to pull Tails’s arms and legs off if he tries to resist them, so once again, no one is messing around in early StC

We get what could’ve been some cool lore about how Labyrinth Zone stretches under half of Mobius, because the badniks have been digging it out for months - another moment of showing how staggeringly OP the badniks are in these comics that I’m honestly all here for. But what ruins it for me is that it doesn't look like Labyrinth Zone. After seeing the preview for the last issue saying that we’d be going to Labyrinth Zone in this issue, I was excited to see such an iconic location from Sonic 1 visited in the comics, but the art is just some dark tunnels and I think that really lets down what the story was going for here

Sonic decides to take some of his friends along with him to rescue Tails this time and look, actual Sonic & Sally interaction in StC! Even if it is him telling her not to be “such a girlie”

We get some sequences that flick between the badniks kidnapping Tails (literally threatening to “bash his brains in” if not for Robotnik wanting Tails alive) and Sonic & friends travelling through the apparent labyrinth until they catch up. There’s not much to say here, but one of the badniks does drop this line about being something called a prime badnik - a pure robot with no animal battery. This works with what Kitching established last issue about badniks seeking out their own batteries. Though the implication here is that the prime badnik is stronger or at least harder to destroy, which creates the question of why they'd seek out animal batteries if that's the case? Anyway, I didn’t expect to be talking so much about badniks in these posts, but it is interesting to see what StC did with them, since at this point they were the only enemies besides Robotnik that the series has to call upon

Anyway, the labyrinth floods, Sonic burns the last badnik and everyone gets away. There isn’t much else to talk about here. I have to admit that this is the first story so far that I haven’t particularly enjoyed and that’s a bit of a shame, because writer Mark Millar was bringing great concepts to the table and expanding upon what’s already been established, even only five issues into the series. The labyrinth flooding was a neat reference to the latter part of the Labyrinth Zone stage in the game itself. But the art really does let this issue down a lot. Which is a shame, because we already saw Woodrow Phoenix do art in an earlier issue and it was fine! But it feels lazy here? Or perhaps Phoenix just wasn’t told what the Labyrinth Zone was supposed to look like? Either way, it was a bit of a let-down, but I know things only improve going forward, so I won’t dwell on it

I Need A Hero ‘DC’s’ ‘Superman’, was found by his adoptive parents; ‘Spider-Man’s’ parents die in a plane crash; ‘Batman’s’ parents are killed in a street robbery; and ‘Black Panther’ - whose mother dies soon after childbirth and whose father is killed - is known as ‘the Orphan King’. ‘Marvel’s' ‘X-Men’ experience both discrimination and social ostracisation. The superheroes’ early life experiences impact on their roles and the stance they take over good and evil in their comic lives. Explore the parallels between real-life foundlings and their illustrated counterparts through original artwork, contemporary digital work and examples of rare international comics. Plus, characters from early newspaper comic strips such as 'Japanese Manga’ and contemporary graphic novel protagonists.‘Superheroes, Orphans & Origins: 125 years in comics’ has its origins in a site-specific work created for the museum in 2014 by poet, Lemn Sissay - ‘Superman was a Foundling' which is printed on the walls of the museum’s ‘Study Studio’. This is the first exhibition of its kind to explore the representation of foundlings, orphans, adoptees and foster children in comics, graphic novels and related art around the world, fittingly hosted in the former ‘Foundling Hospital’, London’s historic children’s home. Also on display are three brand-new commissions by comic artists Asia Alfasi, Bex Glendining and Woodrow Phoenix, all examining care identity and experience. ‘Superheroes, Orphans & Origins: 125 years in comics’, ‘The Foundling Museum’, April 1 - August 28, 2022. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #love #orphan #foundling #adoptees #fosterchildren #superheroes #blackpanther #spiderman #superman #batman #lemmsissay #dccomics #marvel #xmen #foundlingmuseum #london #superheroesorphansandorigins (at The Foundling Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChCEZBosCEa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Still only one Sonic comic in this issue and we’ve got a different team working on it this time, with Mark Millar writing, Woodrow Phoenix drawing and John Aldrich lettering If I was to nitpick, the opening of this issue is slightly inconsistent with the cliffhanger of the first issue, where we saw a concerned Sonic rushing off to find Tails. Here, we see Sonic returning from Marble Zone to learn that Tails is gone. We get the usual StC Sonic lack of sympathy towards a rabbit who might be Johnny (he’s the right colour this time, but like in the last issue, it isn’t directly said), though Sonic does back down when maybe-Johnny tells him that Robotnik has kidnapped everyone again, including Tails. It’s also implied that the rabbit hasn’t met Sonic before, so probably not Johnny? Idk there are a lot of these little critters

Sonic decides that in order to take Robotnik on, he needs a new pair of trainers (sneakers) and sunglasses. In Archie, they called this look Evil Sonic

We get a few pages of Sonic smashing through badniks. I like the cow critter design featured in the above panel. I don’t think I’ve seen this design used anywhere else

But the real feature of the issue comes from the Tails reveal, who apparently decided to do the cyborg look a long time before Nine from Sonic Prime did a take on it

Sonic and Tails fight each other, with Tails expressing anger that Sonic always leaves him behind. My biggest critique of this issue is that it’s not entirely clear whether Tails has been brainwashed by being made into part-robot or whether he genuinely decided to turn on Sonic and side with Robotnik. I feel like the narrative is leaning more towards the latter, but that just doesn’t feel like Tails to me? These were early days, however

But when Robotnik turns on Sonic, Tails realises that what he’s doing is wrong and teams up with Sonic to fight Robotnik, smashing his armour in the process

As Robotnik leaves, we get a glimpse into his TV preferences

With the threat gone, Sonic berates Tails for “getting turned into an evil robot” (So… he was brainwashed, then?), before revealing that his special shoes have been destroyed in the funniest panel of the issue:

The story wraps up with Sonic walking Tails home and saying that he doesn’t need special shoes anyway. And that’s our introduction to Tails. It establishes the dynamic between the duo that will last for most of the comic’s run and sets Tails up as the younger sidekick who’s eager to prove himself to a hero who thinks of him as a kid, to say the least. I admittedly like StC Sonic and his harshness a lot more than most people do, but I’m saving talking about that until I’ve got a bit more of this read-through under my belt

Overall, I don’t personally think this issue was quite as strong as the first one was, but the few nagging inconsistencies didn’t stop me from enjoying it and I’m looking forward to seeing where the comic will go from here now that the main duo have been established
