I heard somewhat the opposite, due to their high price (a standard problem with Western comics) and due to being hard to find in some stores. Don't have my source at hand.

I do recall hearing that the comics were being sold in Japan.

Not sure what people there think of them though.

You reckon it had anything to do with Whisper being in one of them mobile games?

[up][up] Wasn't there some buzz about the Japanese release of the comics getting a second printing? They don't usually do that unless the books are really good or there's a huge demand.

So, the previews for Issue #53 of the IDW comics have come out. Interestingly enough the Dynamo cage causes Surge to hallucinate Dr Starline so in a way the wannabe doctor is back, but the real deal is still dead.

Ok, so I found the source I was thinking of when I made my post earlier. Wise Publishing said that they reprinted the first volume due to the surprisingly high sales.

Speaking of comics

I wonder how Tangle would play on a proper console game. Frontiers' combat engine seems like a good base if SEGA/Sonic Team ever considers a DLC route with expanding a playable roster. Whisper was inspired from Forces, it would make too much sense if Tangle came after Frontiers' gameplay since she utilizes Beware My Stinger Tail. Was it confirmed whether Sonic was the only playable character again or not?

Honestly, I'd kill for another Heroes installment. The Speed-Flight-Power dynamic was pretty neat at the time and solves the issue retaining Sonic having too many friends.

Sonic can just spam energy/ki attacks like DBZ characters now. First thing in the video.

Hasn't Sonic been doing ki blasts in Super Mode since the Adventure days?

Yeah, but only in Super Mode.

It's Shadow who makes that shit a regular part of his arsenal, though I think that's mostly since his own self titled game.

Shadow could use Chaos Spear since Sonic Adventure 2, though he only used it during the final boss fight against him in Hero story or in multiplayer. In his own game he only used it while in Super form. Somewhat ironic, but probably because if he could use it all the time it would invalidate guns.

Sonic technically had his own equivalent attack in SA2, with Sonic Wind. Though that never showed up against, I don't think.

We got something of a similar idea in Sonic Battle with his Sonic Wave and Sonic Storm, but he generally doesn't use projectiles or wind attacks very often anyway. Boost could kind of count, depending on how you view it working. It seems like an impact thing, less so with the wind being generated? It still fits the wind concept, but a different use of it, arguably.

When they showed that energy attack before it was Sonic kicking out the beams, now he's literally just doing lazy man's anime filler version.

He's just holding his hands out motionless while energy blasts just shoot from them.

I think those are two different moves.

They are different moves. He does both moves in the video.

Well, it could be inferred that the kicking version...is for multiple enemies since it aimed consecutively.

However that can't be confirmed until someone else does both against a mob.

I mean that's exactly what Sonic's doing, the vaunted Vegeta's Technique

yanno if you can consider a general fireball spam a "technique" somehow.

As a warning, there is a video in youtube with spoilers for Sonic Frontiers, especifically the first Titan boss fight, the intro cutscene and the second island intro.

If you don't care about spoilers the youtuber is Acro

Edit: And it got taken down.
