I've said this before, but I love what IDW's been able to do with the Sonic series, giving actual personality to characters like Amy and Shadow, including the CHAO in a more prominent role (this has a chao race), and having the sleekest artwork, baby.

There are some panels where you know the artists are just having fun, showing off that artistic prowess. So much character in the artwork and the expressions!

Not to mention the story for this volume was super fun! We even get some show more "in-character" teamwork from Sonic and Shadow. The new characters the writers create are genuinely fun and add new dynamics. Also, loving the humor overall.

As always, the artwork is beautiful and even funny with some of the reactions. In particular, Silver’s face when his flower caught on fire was hilarious.

But most of this volume was filler that dragged on. The mystery comic could have been fun, but it just seemed rudimentary.

The Mimic arc continues and ropes in a racing game. Sonic gets to go undercover, which is cool, but I didn’t find this volume very interesting.

The IDW comics have been stellar, so it’s okay if one out of many is a show more stinker. show less

I found this arc lackluster, so I'm glad for the new one.

Mimic is still running amok. Surge and her friend are still staunchly against Sonic and being used for others' bidding.

The artwork remains stellar, and I appreciate that the artists are exploring new species. We get a rooster character in this volume.

Love it! IDW really knows what it's doing with the Sonic franchise.
