Line #28 ComicBook/SonicBoom


1	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sb_001_cover.jpg]]
2
3	A ComicBookAdaptation of the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' spin-off [[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom cartoon]] and [[VideoGame/SonicBoom games]], ''Sonic Boom''. Much like ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' and ''ComicBook/SonicX'' before it, this series was published by Creator/ArchieComics.
4
5	Like the spin-off it was based on, this comic series was both [[LighterAndSofter more light-hearted]] and [[DenserAndWackier very silly]] compared to the mainline games and Archie's run at the time. ''Creator/IanFlynn'' was the head writer for the first few issues, though writers from the show would come on to write a few issues to better connect the series. The comic's version of Sticks the Badger would end up crossing over with the main book and ''Mega Man'' Archie series in ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsUnite''.
6
7	It ran from 2014-2015, before Archie ended the series at issue #11.
8	----
9	!!This series provides examples of:
10	* ActionBomb: Eggman makes a robot with a bomb for a head to help him win at go-kart racing. Nobody notices it has a bomb for a head, because it is wearing glasses and a moustache.
11	* BatFamilyCrossover: Although Sticks is the only major character showing up here (although she is flanked by Fastidious Beaver and Comedy Chimp), the title crosses over with ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', ''Sonic Universe'', and ''Mega Man'' for ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsUnite''.
12	* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: In Issue #7, Sonic is adamant at beating Eggman at go-kart racing, even as Eggman keeps deploying traps against the rules of the game.
13	* BiggerIsBetter: Subverted in Issue #3. Tails is looking for a new hammer for Amy. The hardware store beaver shows him a hammer, to which Tails makes a "bigger" motion with his hands. So the beaver drags out a sledgehammer, to which Tails makes a "much bigger" motion. Finally, the beaver uses a forklift to bring out a hammer that's twice Tails' size, to which Tails makes a "little bit smaller" motion.
14	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Wouldn't be Sonic without at least one of these. In the first issue, when Sonic first says Sticks's name, it's drawn as a logo. Horrified, Sticks asks why, to which he replies:
15	-->'''Sonic''': Yeah, it's a first issue gimmick. We'll go back to regular lettering next month.
16	** This persists throughout the first four issues, with everyone else doing something similar.
17	** Sonic at one point tries to break his fall by grabbing onto a text bubble.
18	* CardCarryingVillain: Dr. Eggman requires his breakfast to be evil. Apparently if it's left waiting too long, the amount of evil in his waffles decreases. Somehow.
19	* TheCon: Eggman wants to blow up a bridge. But he doesn't want to blow up the bridge he already owns, so he tried to sell it to someone else... so he can blow it up.
20	* CrossoverCameo: At the end of issue #8, there's a surprise cameo by [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Sally]]]], setting up the universe's tie-in with the ''Worlds Unite'' crossover event.
21	* DeadpanSnarker: Amy's in top form here.
22	--->'''Sonic''': (to what appears to be a dinosaur footprint)Ah. I wonder what size sneaker that'd wear?\
23	'''Knuckles''': A size 160 - found that out with my face! I was gathering intelligence.\
24	'''Amy''': And apparently you've retained none of it.
25	* DependingOnTheWriter: In contrast with the animated series, Amy's noticeably snarkier.
26	* DenserAndWackier: As with the TV Show, inverted.
27	* DrosteImage: In the final issue of ''Sonic Boom'': There's a clever ''two'' of [[spoiler:Eggman and Sticks both looking through their spy cameras to spy on each other infinitely.]]
28	* EarlyBirdCameo: The first issue came out on the 29th of October, a full week before the cartoon and video games, making this the first official part of the franchise to debut.
29	* FaceHeelTurn: A less serious instance than usual. After Knuckles gets fed up with the team's belittling, particularly on Amy's part, he temporarily defects to Eggman. [[spoiler: Subverted, however, as he was attempting a double agent scenario to both beat Eggman and put his belittling friends in their place. He just wasn't bright enough to pull it off on his own...]]
30	* LiteralMinded: After Sonic and Tails return from their fight with Eggman, Sticks reports that Tails house has been stolen. When they go to check things out, they find that the hut itself is gone. Turns out the house itself and by proxy, everything therein was carried away by a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot cyborg rock golem.]]
31	* MisappliedPhlebotinum: [[spoiler:Eggman has invented a Genesis Portal device- which can open portals to other times and dimensions- but failed to understand its significance completely.]]
32	* MundaneMadeAwesome: '''THE ROCK OF DESTINY!''' [[spoiler:It's actually just a rock Sticks found. She's got a whole bunch of them in her house.]]
33	* MythologyGag: The names written as logos in the first issue harkens back to the early main series comics where Sonic's name was printed this way in the first few pages. Also, Cubot griping about his place in Eggman's organization, while wondering whatever happened to all of Eggman's other minions from all the other Sonic series.
34	* {{Oktoberfest}}: #5 has a parody called Eggtoberfest.
35	* TheParanoiac: Sticks is convinced a mysterious "Them" are wire-tapping Tails. Even though he doesn't have a phone.
36	* PolicePig: In Issue #11, Kyle's employer is arrested by two of these.
37	* RightForTheWrongReasons: Sticks figures out that [[spoiler:her universe and the other franchises' universes are now permanently connected]] by just guessing at what would be plot appropriate.
38	* ShortRunner: Wasn't even serialized for a year before it's cancellation, making it the shortest run of the Sonic comics.
39	* VisualPun:
40	** The third issue has a [[HardWorkMontage montage]] in which the gang tries to find a replacement for Amy's hammer. Knuckles brings a hammerhead shark.
41	** The fourth issue's cover features Sticks fighting a t-rex with a sling full of rocks. It's the Sticks and Stones variant cover.
