If anyone's interested, the IDW Sonic collections 1 and 2 are on sale on Amazon for 22% off, so after the sale price they're about $38 each. The two collections combined have the first 25* issues of the comic (Issues 1-20, the 2019 Annual, and the 4 issue Tangle and Whisper miniseries).

Also, it looks like the collections are released annually, so while Collection vol. 3 was published about 2 months ago, it's going to be almost a year before the next one. I really want to know who's going to be on the cover of the next collections. So far it's been Sonic, Tails, then Knuckles. But from here on out there's a lot of possibilities: Amy, or Eggman, or Shadow, or Rouge, or even one of the new characters like Belle, Tangle, or Whisper. The year it would cover did feature Amy and Tangle heavily, so I'm betting on one of them.

This is the 30 year anniversary of Sonic CD, so its probably gonna be Amy.

I alluded to the fact that this volume neither covers, nor would be released in, this year. The volume covers 2021, and would be released spring of next year.

It would still make sense for it to be Amy.

It's Eggman.

Between this pic of Mighty and Frontiers, I'm starting to think Sega sees Knuckles as bisexual.

Bisexual rights.

Come to think of it, Mighty never had a love interest in Archie. Does that mean...? Nah, but would you imagine? Haha.

Unless...

Jokes aside, the pic brought me nostalgia of the Chaotix crew of Archie, when Knuckles and the crew were best friends.

I ship Knuckles with Rouge, but there is no platonic explanation for that look.

[up] I mean, you can have both, in one side you have the cat and mouse game that is the relationship between Knux and Rouge, while Mighty has some unrequited feelings for the red enchilada, but seeing him happy is enough for the armadillo.

I like how Mosth has the blink and you'll miss it bit he offered Rouge a drink, and has a tsundere reaction when this is pointed out.

TBH as soon as I saw lipstick on the glass I thought "Rouge was here", before I clicked a single interactable. I like that the writers made sure there was a Knuckles and Rouge interaction of some sort. And sure, other people moved between rooms too, but you know...

I miss being part of a game music orchestra. We didn't doo enough Sonic music, tbh. If I could compose or arrange, I'd have tried to do more.

Sonic meets a much referenced Brooklyn Nine-Nine scene:

I finally decided to play Sonic Frontiers and bought it on the PS sale.

I feel like I made a mistake...a mistake not playing this sooner this game is a blast. I played like 5 hours straight and it was 5 in the morning when I stopped.

Giganto took me several attempts(like at least 5) but I was finally able to get him and I didn't mind because the music and fight were hype anyway so I never got too frustrated. Squid is still kinda annoying though lol.

At first I thought I would dislike the Titans and their ilk but seeing them in action they're kinda cool and give me Eva vibes.

I also love the Koko so far, they're like earth Chao and they're adorable. however I di have one complaint, and it's Sonic's voice! He sounds gross in this game, despite his acting being pretty good. TBH the guy from Sonic Prime should be his main VA from here on, as he sounds more fitting for Sonic and does a good job.

Sonic sounding older really surprised me too when playing. It's a choice.

Also loving the jukebox option and this cyberspace music is godlike. Goodness Sonic still holding that crown of musical superiority.

Also wow this game really uhh buffed Sonic's power level huh? Dude can straight up launch energy balls and spam razor wind kicks now with like, no drawback.

I'm wondering if this is like a new take on his Sonic Wind move from SA 2, but OTOH he has a huge super stomp and he even mastered Vegeta's Technique(tm)

Are explosions science?

Of course he would master Vegeta's Technique (TM)! Hayai (He's fast!)

To be honest, the game didn't actually add too much to Sonic's moveset. Most moves are just alternative takes on similar moves he has had before. Even the projectiles are mostly alternative takes on Sonic Wind or his Shot techniques from Battle. Even the combat applications of Cyloop are more or less identical to Blue Tornado. To me, his biggest and best addition is the clones he gets from Phantom Rush. Ah, he also has the area of effect attack when holding down Stomp for a triple stomp, but there isn't really anything that actually uses it in the game.

I always thoguht Sonic's Cyloop was just him stealing Raziel's Constrict ability.

I could have sworn you said something to that effect not long after release. Deja vu?
