Sonic the Hedgehog #20 by Scott Fulop

Another pretty good one!! I appreciated that Tails was the only holdout who was like "Sonic isn't dead, dummies!" in the first story, and I always enjoyed Sally's solo adventures!!

Tails miniseries #2 by Mike Gallagher

Tails gets beaten up and is out of commission for a good chunk of this, and then gets dragged into some Penders Echidna nonsense. I just. I don't even know, guys.
