Sonic the Hedgehog #21 — "The Last Minute, part 1"

[deh_tommy]

First off, picking up from last issue: deep in the Lost Hex, a mysterious hidden continent in the sky once used as an Eggman base...





Meanwhile, Eggman has made Central City his next target, so Tangle and Whisper work on evacuation efforts while Tails gets to work on developing a cure in his workshop.

Hm. Yes...about that... You really should have been more careful, Amy. It can lead to tragic consequences.

I am sure Zavok totally won't betray him

[blues32]

Of course not. He's been dying to make amends with Eggman. It's been keeping him up at night.

Seriously, why would Starline put that in his sales pitch? That will only make them want to betray Eggman even more.

Starline: Now, you don't hold grudges, do you?

Zavok: Me? Nooooo...

Starline: Cause it looks like you're throwing darts at a picture of Dr. Eggman.

Zavok: Merely trying to center myself to his greatness.

Starline: And crushing those statues of him with a hammer

Zavok: Merely destroying imperfect idols of him.

Starline: And hissing "crack him like an egg."

Zavok: Yes, with my hilarious jokes, I will crack him up like an egg ..yes..

Starline: Hmmm...I see no reason to disbelieve you.

Zavok: Yes, now I can gut the bastard...

Starline: What was that?

Zavok: Cut the mustard...been in exile, want to make sure I can cut the mustard out in the field after so long.

Starline: Alright...are you rubbing your hands and sneering.

Zavok: I'm cold?

Starline: Sounds plausible.

Great stuff. XD

[deh_tommy]

Starline doesn’t trust the Six any more than they trust him. He’s got his own plan up his sleeve to keep them in check.

[blues32]

Yes, the same something that didn't work the first time. How could it go wrong?

[deh_tommy]

Hey, I never said it was a *good* plan.

[crinos]

Well from what I've seen of Starline from these scans, the guy is a fucking idiot.

Like he brings back the worlds greatest evil scientist, helps him release a zombie apocalypse, and now he wants to bring on board six villains that have already betrayed Eggman once before>

This guy wakes up every day and makes the worst decision possible. He chooses this. This is a choice.

[deh_tommy]

He takes after his idol in his selective brilliance.

[blues32]

In fairness, they never betrayed Eggman. They were never willingly on his side.

I can see why Sonic Team didn't let Tails use the Cyclone in Sonic Forces, it wouldn't have let him come off as a wimp that needs any kind of Sonic to help him.

Also, hi Marinette and Adrien!

[deh_tommy]

Omigosh it totally is! I thought it might have been at first but the colours were all wrong so I just chalked it up to my pathetic shill brain taking anything vaguely ladybird-related and making connections where none existed. Shame the colourist probably didn’t catch it either.

I mean not really...

Sonic Forces has adventure 1 canon, where Tails didn't need the cyclone to fight Chaos or against Eggman robots.

Not even counting Sonic Battle and Sonic Heroes.

[blues32]

That only makes it worse. Tails was a whiny wimp in Sonic Forces.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

I hated seeing the Cyclone get destroyed, but at least it was good to see it once more.
