Legacy of Blaze is a Sonic the Hedgehog fan-Sprite Comic by Some New Guy.
Taking place two years after the events of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), the story centers on Blaze the Cat, now with the spirit of destruction, Iblis, sealed within her. The story opens with Blaze (and Iblis) stuck in the alternate dimension she sealed herself in at the end of Silver's story in 2006, but after a chain of events involving Eggman, Metal Sonic, Tikal and Chaos Control, she is back on Earth, only, thanks to the Reset Button Ending of 2006, her time of 2206 no longer exists, so she's essentially a fish out of temporal water. However, her return has not gone unnoticed, as several dark factions have decided they could use the power of Iblis for themselves...
The comic is hosted on The Duck and Smackjeeves. Find it here and here!

- Schedule Slip: Not nearly as much as the authors other comic, but updates did begin to grow sparse near the end of 2010/early-mid 2011.
- The most recent update was in July 2011.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Metal Sonic after Hagane curb-stomps Mecha Sonic with just one sword slash. Given the context, this reaction is completely understandable.
- Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: Blaze is Iblis' seal.
- Spoiler Opening: Among other things, the opening video shows that Mephiles and Black Doom will play a role in the plot.
- Starter Villain: Eggman and Metal Sonic.
- The Stoic: Shadow and Hagane.
- Take That!: Most of chapter 2 is one long Take That! against the plot of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

- Third-Person Person: Most Crestborn demons refer to themselves as "it".
- Those Two Guys: Heavyheart and Rumlord.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Blaze still has her fear of heights, and Iblis isn't exactly fond of Chaos Control due to its role in his current situation.
- Wise Beyond Their Years: Cream.
- Worthy Opponent: Hagane. He goes to great lengths to avoid a fight with anyone he doesn't see as an equal, as seen in his interactions with Eggman's recon camp.Hagane: "Only fight those at or near your level of strength, never one weaker, for they are unworthy of your blade. If fighting the weak should ever be unavoidable, do not make them suffer. Finish them as quickly and painlessly as possible." Such is the creed of those who live by the blade, the Steel Souls.
- You Are Number 6: The Eggpawns, Eggrobos and Mecha Sonic Units are all named by their serial numbers.
