History ComicBook / SonicX

* NoCelebritesWereHarmed: Andes the Ginormous is a parody of the late Pro wrester Andre the Giant.

** In Issue # 30 one of Eggman's Clown robots looks like [[ComicBook/Batman The Joker]].

** In addition to name-dropping Music/CelineDion, [[VivaLasVegas "Muerta! Las Vegas"]] has a cameo by a blonde crime scene investigator with an uncanny resemblance to [[Series/{{CSI}} Catherine Willows]].

* TrainingFromHell: Knuckles puts Sonic through this prior to his match with El Gran Gordo.
** [[NotSoDifferent Meanwhile, Robotnik is going through similar training]]. It helps - he still loses to Sonic, but even after his plot to win fails, he still puts up a decent fight - it isn't a CurbStompBattle (see CharlesAtlasSuperpower above)

* DemotedToExtra: Compared to the anime, Chris mainly just acts as Sonic's connect involving most things in the human world and is largely a background character used for gags. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Not that anyone was complaining, mind you]].

** Eventually, the comic came into its own, with more influence from the [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComicsg mainline comic books]] than the anime.

A comic series created by Creator/ArchieComics, ''Sonic X'' could be considered a SpinOff of the long-running ''[[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comic book series, taking place in an alternate universe that is ostensibly the same one seen in the anime ''Anime/SonicX'' (some time before the finale of the first series). The story, (as we're reminded at [[OpeningNarration the beginning of every issue]]) is that Sonic and his friends have been transported to Earth by one of Dr. Eggman's machines, and now they do battle with the doctor here, while hanging around the house of the insanely wealthy Chris Thorndyke on their off time.

** Eventually, the comic came into its own, with more influence from the [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog mainline comic books]] than the anime.

* MeaningfulName: El Gran Gordo (EGG).

* The series is supposed to be set between the anime's Chaos and Shadow sagas. However, it depicts Station Square as being in its prime, even though it was supposed to be in ruins following the former saga's events. When fans brought up this massive continuity error, the writer admitted that the reason for it was that [[CreatorsApathy he hadn't watched the episodes, so he was unaware the city had been decimated.]]
* Card Passer, a GUN General who led an unauthorised attack on Eggman in Episode 50, right before the heroes left home, appears in the comic (which takes place solely on Earth) and even mentions those events. Ian Flynn eventually [[HandWave Hand Waved]] this by saying that the time slowed down due to Sonic's presence, allowing him and the other to stay on Earth, which means that '''over half of the comic series takes place during Episode 50'''.

* MyBelovedsSmother: Vanilla had once considered moving Cream and Cheese out of Station Square because of frequent Eggman attacks. She changed her mind later when she was rescued by her daughter.

* DemonicPossession: Like Amy in the anime, Cream and Chris's mothers were possessed by ghosts at one point. Cream helped the ghosts return to their world to save them bpth.

* MyBelovedsSmother: Vanilla had pnce considered moving Cream and Cheese out of Station Square because of frequent Eggman attacks.

* TradeSnark: Eggman intruduces a robot version of himself called Egg-Gantor in issue #6 - and then, in small print: "'''TM''' Eggman Corporation, all rights reserved! So ''there''!"

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Less of an intentional change and more of a result of the writer [[CriticalResearchFailure not fully grasping the characters' personalities]], but the comic made Sonic less of an AloofAlly and more of a [[NiceGuy goody-two-shoes]], and gave Sam Speed a temper.

* AscendedMeme: "Eggman's already [[ComicBook/LexLuthor stolen forty cakes!]] [[AndThatsTerrible That's terrible!]]"
** El Gran Gordo has become an ascended meme of his own in the Archie Comics, making occasional appearances in the Off-Panels.

* BookEnds: Possibly unintentional, but the cover for the issue 40 (the final issue) is in some ways similar the the cover of the first issue.

* ShoutOut: As a more-or-less GagComic, shout-out humor is practically a given. A few examples:

* ShoutOut: One issue ends with this exchange:
