* NamesTheSame: A cross-franchise example - early issues feature a squirrel named Sally Acorn, who aside from the name has nothing to do with her counterparts from [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics the Archie comics]] or [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM the SatAM cartoon]]. [[OlderThanTheyThink This is due to the Sonic Bible that Sega provided identifying the squirrel friend from the games as Sally.]]

** Amy being changed into a tomboy was mandated by the higher ups; Amy as a tomboy was supposed to be a part of her nature in the games, but the comics emphasized it far more. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools It's often considered a good change]]. Any negativity towards this direction was less towards turning her into a tomboy and more the writers were directly asked to make Amy [[CloserToEarth the most mature]] and [[PositiveDiscrimination least flawed]] member of the team, and [[ShipSinking completely desposing her crush on Sonic]]). It's especially ironic considering [[HilariousInHindsight how similar their original rendition of Amy was to how the games would later develop her]].

** Kitching also suggested that Robotnik should have another redesign after he was transformed back into Kintobor while on Shanazar, this time using the design used for Eggman in VideoGame/SonicAdventure.

* FanNickname: The versions of Sonic and friends seen here (in particular Super Sonic) would be called "Fleetway" by fans to differentiate them from the other versions, although some fans prefer using the abbreviation STC, due to ''Sonic the Comic'' already having a distinctive title that didn't really require a publisher prefix, unlike the Archie and later IDW comic books.
