Let's see if I can cut down on the summary

Sonic The Hedgehog Issue #2
August 1993


We squeal for real indeed.

"Triple Trouble" is the first story. Coconuts, from the AoStH show, makes his debut here in Robotnik's latest attempt to kill Sonic. He tries using exploding coconuts against him, but Sonic and Tails take care of him rather easily. Next up, the legendary Scratch and Grounder! They manage to tie up Sonic, but end up arguing with each other over who will take credit for capturing him. This allows Sonic to recover and defeat them handily. End of story. Wow, even if I tried to make a long summary I couldn't do it. There weren't even any good cheesy punchlines here. Just a tribute to the show it appears.

"Vertigo A Go Go!" is the next story. Sonic ends up in an alternate dimension, where he meets Cal and Al (Cal is always upside down, Al is always horizontal to Sonic). Sonic is suspicious immediately but soon learns that they never even heard of Robotnik before. Sonic gets thrown all over the place as the dimension gets trippier and trippier, but eventually he lands back in Mobius. The End. Already?

Ministory about Sally and Rotor smashing Sonic's face with foil to make special covers for future comic books. Still breaking the 4th wall here. There's also pinups of Sonic and Sally, with each telling us not to tell the other character, and they both have big hearts above their heads. Cute.

"All The Mail's About Tails" is the third story, though it's really just a ministory hyping a possible Tails mini-series in the future. Sonic also reads a fan mail that asks him why he's always naked. Whoops.

Well that covers this issue, but it was just establishing characters that may or may not ever appear in this comic again. Not a whole lot going on, so if you wanted shorter summaries, this was the perfect issue to do it!

Having this much of a write up for just one comic is ridiculous when there's hundreds to get through.

It's not too bad. I write them up as I read through it, so each issue doesn't take more than 15 minutes. This wasn't designed to be completed in a week anyway so just enjoy the ride.

I feel like I'd write less though after all the cheesy punchlines go away.

"You Bet My Life!" is the second story. It starts with the FF saying that Sonic is their last hope for something. Since there's some suspense to it, I figure it's gonna end up lame, and it is: they need Sonic to fold their map of Mobius up right. Apparently Robotnik is delivering a speech in the Casino Night Zone and they need to know where it is. We still get the 4th wall breaking here, and Sonic implores us to pop in Sonic 2 and get him to Casino Night...or just turn the page. That I shall do. Sonic arrives to find Robotnik's casino, which is called "Renobotnik." I guess none of the robots here have been programmed to stop Sonic here because he's just waltzing around freely. We see Robotnik preparing for his speech (with a sign on the wall saying "No spitting on stage, except for Robotnik"), when he spots Sonic walking through the entrance of the stage hall. Robotnik debuts his new robot, Orbinaut, who promptly tosses a maceball at Sonic's head.

A subdued Sonic is trapped inside a glass ball and stuffed inside a giant pinball machine. He gets the crap kicked out of him in there, but before Robotnik can toss him in a second time, a swatbot tells him that someone won 50 cents in the casino. Sucks for that guy, because one of the rules of Renobotnik is "If you try to beat the house, the house beats you...WITH A HAMMER." While he was gone, Sonic was able to use his spines to cut through the ball, so when he was placed back in the machine, the launcher shattered the glass and freed him. Orbinaut tries to attack Sonic, but he deflects a maceball into a swatbot and Robotnik's head. Speaking of which, that should have pierced through his brain (and probably Sonic as well when he was clocked earlier), but maybe they both just got really lucky. Sonic makes the casino explode (not shown how exactly) and saves the day.

Ministories: 1)Acorn Awards ceremony, which Sonic wins every one of them of course; 2) one where a reader mail asks him at what speed do his legs disappear and look like spinning wheels. This one's pretty funny actually, as he goes through his Six Speeds (from Mini-Series #0). His legs get blurry at Trans-Sonic speed, but he ends up running straight into a tree branch and knocks himself silly; 3) we get the recipe for making a Sonic chili dog, and it looks legit. Sonic quips about this supposing to be a funny comic book, so Sally smashes a pie in his face.


The first story was terrible. I normally don't like plant-related stories because they usually end in a stupid way, and this was no different. Horrible way to start the main series. The second one was better but didn't quite make up for it, so overall this was a letdown. However, Issue #2 is the first one I was told to emphasize on, so I'm expecting good things from it. I'll have that for you tomorrow.

real tired today so only doing one.

Sonic The Hedgehog Issue #1
July 1993


Here we go, the first issue of the main series! Good cover. One thing I want to take notice of is the price tag as we go through the issues. This would cost you $1.25 in 1993. Let's see how much that hikes up as we go along.

"Meet Me At The Corner Of Hedgehog & Vine" is the lead story to begin the series. The very first page is Robotnik hanging Sonic from a noose. Holy ****, what an image to show first impressions to kids. Sonic's tongue green and his eyes are bulging out. Well if you didn't think Robotnik was evil before you know now. Then if that wasn't enough, Robotnik DECAPITATES him with his evil villain cane. Series over already!

...Well it turns out it was only a pinata that Robotnik was smashing to vent his frustrations. In walks a Swatbot holding a plant, so the big guy smashes its head in because one of his laws is no plants. The swatbot barely is able to explain that it's a robotic plant that can be used against the FF by having Burrobot plant the seeds all over the forest. To thank the swatbot for this idea that Robotnik clearly came up with himself, he tosses it into the robot disposal like the ass that he is. The first victim of these plants is Antoine, who was attempting to get Sally to notice him by finding some flowers for her. Hearing his screams, Sonic rushes to the rescue, but since it's Antoine, we get a great line, "Sonic The Hedgehog never deserts a friend in need! But since there's none around right now, I might as well help you!" It's funny how both Sonic and Robotnik can be total asses to their allies sometimes. They get a tangled up Antoine back into Knothole, where Rotor jokes about using a chainsaw to get him out. Antoine faints at that notion, which allows Rotor to just pull all the plants off him. Tails walks in and, not realizing the nature of the plants, decides to water them. Everyone thinks they will mutate as a result, but instead it short circuits. Knowing how to destroy the plants, the FF end up...not doing anything, because it ends up raining outside, which destroys all the plants in the forest. A pissed off Robotnik tosses Burrobot in the robot disposal (you know a punchline is ending it too: Burrobot pleads that all he did was seed the forest, which Robotnik responds, "I've seed what you've done, that's why I'm planting you in the trash!"). That ends the story.

We get two bumper stickers we can cut out and stick to our cars! "Honk if you <3 Sonic", "Have you hugged your hedgehog today?", "I'd rather be playing Sonic The Hedgehog", and "If you can read this, you should be reading Sonic The Hedgehog comics!"

"Why Ask Spy?" is story #2. We get some humor to kick things off as Rotor and Sally trick Sonic by having Rotor pretend to be a robot. Sonic, naive as he is, gets fooled by it very easily. On to business...they put the robot mask on Sonic and have him chase Sally in the Great Forest, but we aren't told exactly what the plan is yet. Tails sees this and freaks out, thinking Sonic is actually a robot. They choose to let Tails believe this, with Sonic taking off and Sally declaring that Tails saved her. She asks that they keep the incident a secret, so of course Tails prints a ****load of newspapers about Robot Sonic and how Tails himself is a hero. Buzzbomber swoops in and snatches a paper from him, and he doesn't even pay for it! So evil. The badnik reports to Robotnik, only to find that Sonic is already there working his scheme on him. Both Robotnik and Buzzbomber smartly consider that this may be a trick, so Robotnik tests Sonic by asking him the location of Knothole Village.

Before Sonic gets his cover blown, an alarm goes off, signaling a disturbance in one of the factories (the crab compound). Looks like it was Sally and Antoine who set it off, but when Sonic arrives, he stops so fast that the mask flies off and clamps onto Antoine's foot. Sonic sarcastically says what an unfortunate accident that was. A note on Antoine that I forgot to mention earlier: he's normally portrayed as a coward (especially on the show), but in the mini-series he hasn't displayed any of that at all. Still pretentious as ever though. Anyway, Sonic enters the compound and is met with a surprise: he discovers Uncle Chuck working on assembling Crabmeats. I should note that they say that Uncle Chuck is a robot, but he definitely does not look like one. All he has are swirly eyes which make him appear to be brainwashed. With that said...apparently Chuck's quota is assembling 75 million Crabmeats (holy ****!). Sonic tries to talk him out of his brainwashing to no avail. He also tries to embrace Muttski (who definitely looks the most robotic out of any other roboticized animal in the series so far), only for Muttski to attempt biting him. Sonic is real pissed off now; he returns to Robotnik and tells him that Chuck attempted an unauthorized coffee break which has since been corrected, and then proceeds to enter the location of Knothole in the missile computer. Instead of Knothole, Sonic sets the destination for Robotnik's largest factory, where all the Buzzbombers are made. Then he clamps the robot mask onto Robotnik's ass and we get our end-of-story punchline, "Glad to see Robotnik get it in THE END!" Good lord.

No ministories in this issue. The first story was interesting but it's also non-canon so it ultimately doesn't mean anything. For a what-if story it's alright though. The second story is what matters, and it's a great one. It's the first time we see Sonic get real serious about something (after failing to get Chuck and Muttski to recognize him), and although in the end he drops the cheesy punchline, we get that first "don't **** with Sonic" moment which is great. Good story to end the mini-series, now it's on to the real thing!

Sonic The Hedgehog Mini-Series Issue #3
May 1993


The final issue of the mini-series, and the last one of the night for me. Let's get started!

"Sonic Flashback" starts things off. Robotnik knocks Sonic off a cliff, and as he fades to unconsciousness, Sonic imagines if he was able to go back in time and rearrange history. It starts off with a normal Uncle Chuck just finishing up inventing the magical ring, when Sonic runs in complaining about Robotnik being mean (they are both kids here). Robotnik came from a broken home (which Sonic says that he probably broke it), so Uncle Chuck has been trying to help him out. Robby, as Chuck likes to call him, already shows evil tendencies, building robots that obey his command and hating hedgehogs. Chuck tries to call him down because Sonic is being an asswad to him before getting to work on the tractor. Problem is Robotnik took some parts from the tractor without telling him, which causes it to lose control, and since there are no brakes, Chuck ends up crashing into the barn as well as Robotnik. Sonic ends up using the magic ring to get them to the hospital in mere seconds, and they end up cured. Robotnik naturally blames Chuck for running him over even though it was his fault in the first place.

One of his robots confesses that Robotnik did in fact steal parts from the tractor, which pisses Chuck off. Robotnik is GROUNDED, rightfully. It doesn't work, because Robotnik uses all the machines in the house to make a robot to get revenge on Chuck and Sonic. Sonic uses a garden hose to wrap up the robot's legs, toppling it over and destroying it. Robotnik runs off swearing revenge...and then it's back to reality as Sonic wakes up, just narrowly missing get flamethrower'd by Robotnik. Sonic escapes, saying that both kid and adult Robotnik suck, and that's the story.

Intermission time. The Top Ten Reasons Why Sonic The Hedgehog Is The Coolest Comic Book Around:

10. The Sonic Comic requires no batteries!
9. It addresses the environment!
8. Sonic is blue, so he matches most of your wardrobe ("My spine looks divine!" Sonic says) [Also, he does not match most of my wardrobe]
7. It has no villains who are mutants (with Robotnik saying "Don't be so sure..." as he reveals Wolverine claws!)
6. Nor does this title rely on guest stars to help boost sales (as Sonic tells Michaelangelo to scram)
5. It has a foxy female lead character who wears an unusual two-piece outfit (already pandering to the furry crowd)
4. It isn't pre-bagged with a die-cut, gold foil cover and hologram trading card (this is a bad thing? Also I don't know what comic this is addressed towards)
3. It contains absolutely no cholesterol!
2. Sonic's adventures are soon to be a major motion picture starring Michael J. Fox (how come this never happened?)
1. Sonic The Hedgehog won't be "dying" anytime soon (and it hasn't!)

Hope you enjoyed that.

Back to the story: Sonic runs into Tails fishing as he's about to find the "sea" emerald. His feet get caught up in the string of Tails fishing pole, so off Tails goes as well. They return to the cave that Sonic was trapped in last issue, and lo and behold there's another emerald. Jaws tries to get his revenge from losing in the last issue crashing into Sonic & Tails head-on. But wait...it was just a drawing on the cave wall! Jaws is knocked silly...good thing Tails always carries a waterproof marker!

Tails takes off to return the emerald as Sonic spots a swatbot carrying another emerald. Sonic quickly snatches it, but of course that was a trap as Sonic falls deep underground. A Burrobot, carrying the fourth emerald, steals the one Sonic is carrying. The bot tries to impale Sonic with its drill, but Sonic jumps out of the way just in time and tries to escape. He quips, "I'm living on burrowed time here." Eventually he uses his speed to throw the Burrobot off balance, and gets the emeralds back and takes off. However, he cannot find his way of the catacombs, trapped there for hours. Finally, he figures out that he needs to go up to get out, and pulls off his most powerful Sonic Spin yet, which conveniently leads him right through the floor of Rotor's shop. Minor note: Sally's habit of impatiently tapping her foot debuts here, and IIRC she also did this on the show, so that was a nice touch. Anyway, Sally is crowned and declares that the power of the Crown will stop Robotnik and restore Mobius to its former glory. Then we get an epilogue of Robotnik complaining that he didn't appear in the comic with the biggest story yet.

Last ministory explains what Sonic's spines are capable of, with the joke being that Sally uses them as a bulletin board. In addition, this is the first issue to feature reader mail. I'll post any interesting ones, but none are in this one, just people saying they love Sonic and such.

Well this was the first big story of the comic, and it was okay. I think Sonic got a hold of those emeralds way too easily, but they're still establishing Sonic being way past cool and awesome and stuff, so he needs to appear invincible. I wonder when his first moment of weakness appears in the series...

Sonic The Hedgehog Mini-Series Issue #2
April 1993


How about a bad cover this time?

Only one story in this one, "A Crowning Achievement." First hints that Sonic and Sally like each other. Sally has something important to tell Sonic, who wonders if it's why she changed her hair from blonde to brunette. Sally scoffs at that remark, but she thinks to herself if he likes her better as a brunette. We also get Sonic's thoughts, which is that he loves her dark hair but he'll never tell her that. Actually, Sally reveals the Magic Crown of the Acorn Kings, powered by the four Freedom Emeralds. Supposedly they hold great power, and Sally wants to use it to find her father. They open the box it's contained in, but whoops it's gone! Sonic blames Antoine and his Royal Guard who are supposed to keep constant watch over the box, which leads to the theory that one of the guardsmen is a spy for Robotnik. How to find out? Sonic runs in circles to burn the rubber off his sneakers, which creates smoke, which then sets off the sprinklers Rotor had installed. One of the guardsmen shorts out, revealing itself to be a robot. Robotnik now has the crown and scattered the Freedom Emeralds all over Mobius. Then the spy initiates its self-destruct mechanism, which prompts Sonic to pick him up and run off with him before he explodes, taking out Knothole and everyone with it.

Sally thinks Sonic is dead and starts crying cause she never told him she loved--but then is cut off by Antoine's exclamation that Sonic has returned just fine. Sonic wants her to finish what she was saying, which Sally awkwardly responds that she loved his recipe for pumpkin pie. Right, as if Sonic can bake. Or cook. Anyway, Sonic was able to launch the bot out of the tree stump entrance using his Warp Speed before it went KABLOOEY (as the comic describes it). With Sonic still at the surface, he notices a Robotnik blimp with many escorts heading off somewhere, so it's time for a mission. Sally forces Sonic and Antoine to work together for this one, which both of them reluctantly accept. I should note that, while most people who've read the comic or seen the SATAM show know this, but Sonic and Antoine really do not like each other.

So the two of them follow the blimp with their own hot air balloon, but forget that the Buzzbombers and Bat Brains clearly know they're there. The badniks pop their balloon, so Antoine bails out with his parachute. Sonic on the other hand decides to Sonic Spin across the bots to reach the blimp and pop it. Antoine catches Sonic in freefall, but the same fate is not met for the bots. The swatbot pilot crashes into the ground, and out pops a Freedom Emerald hidden within it. The swatbot reveals the plan to separate the emeralds, one by air, land, sea, and underground. Having retrieved the "air" emerald, Sonic forces Antoine to return to Sally with the emerald as he takes off on his own to find the others.

"Something Fishy" is the second story. It starts off with Sonic fishing, eventually catching a Jaws. Realizing that Robotnik is up to no good, he chases the Jaws underwater to discover a cave (in the comics, Sonic can not only swim, but can also apparently stay under for long periods of time). Well, that turns out to be a trap, as Sonic gets caught in a net which is carrying him to an underwater roboticizer (the "Waterproof Robot Maker"). Meanwhile, Rotor and Tails arrive at the dock to find it destroyed and Sonic missing, so they need to head into the water to find out what happened to Sonic. Rotor's Bathysphere debuts here (the FF's submarine, which Tails comments, "Now that's what I call a Sub-Plot!"). These jokes aren't going away anytime soon folks. Sonic uses a Sonic Spin to break out of the net, but it causes him to use up all his air, so now he's drowning. Comment from Jaws, "Aww, you'd break my heart...if I had one!" Oh snap. You know what happens next: Rotor and Tails show up just in time to blast Jaws away, and the air bubbles produced from the submarine allow Sonic to get his air back. One Sonic Spin later, and the Robot Maker is destroyed, day is saved. Rotor suggests it's time for lunch, and Sonic gives us the ending punchline, "Okay, but let's do chili dogs...I've lost my taste for seafood!"

Last ministories: The first has Rotor telling us about characters that are slow, which leads to this: "But if you think I'm slow, check the speed of this anti-pollution bill as it goes through Congress!" GJ sending a environmental message to us Rotor. The second is Sonic playing doubles tennis by himself, cause he's so fast. The third is old photographs of Sonic as a kid, all of which just have him running really fast.

This issue wasn't as good as the first. Run Sally Run was a good story, but it went downhill from there, and the ministories were lame. Hopefully they'll rebound next time.

Sonic The Hedgehog Mini-Series Issue #1
March 1993


That's an awesome cover by the way. Sally is now pink for the next few issues. Let's get started.

"Run, Sally, Run!" is the first story. Sally is being a ***** to Sonic, so of course he suspects that Antoine's got something to do with it. It turns out Sally is going to Robotropolis to negotiate with Robotnik about releasing her father, and doesn't want interference with the rest of the Freedom Fighters. Of course they don't listen, so Sonic, Tails, and Antoine take off and run into Sally talking with a Buzzbomber. The bot flies her to the negotiating spot as the rest of the crew get trapped in a cage. Buzzbomber dumps her in a smokestack and drops into the factory where Robotnik is waiting. Naturally he betrays Sally and sends her off to be roboticized. Sally you are an idiot. The roboticizer was apparently assembled in Mexico, because Mexico is evil or something? Just before Sally is thrown in, Sonic shows up just in time (prompting a surprised Robotnik to shout "Gadzooks!"). They were able to escape by a Sonic Spin, which can cut through anything. Robotnik counters that it can't cut thru (yes he says thru) an atomic ray gun, but Antoine pickpockets the gun before he can pull it out. Sally questions why Antoine and Tails are there, "oh no! Not you two, too?" which leads to Sonic's punchline, "Well it is Twosday!" Good one. Sonic destroys the roboticizer (which is called the Robo-Machine here, so it's not the machine we will come to know), as Robotnik comments that it will take at least a few issues to repair it. They escape by holding up Robotnik with the ray gun. Back at Knothole Sally gets all pissy because she wanted to get thrown into the Robo-Machine. She was wearing boots invented by Rotor that was supposedly going to reverse the effects of the machine once she was inside. Somehow I don't think that plan would have worked at all. She should be more appreciative of Sonic and company. Story ends with Sally storming off.

Intermission about Sonic sometimes becoming frustrated that he's so fast. Why...because he's too good at baseball, rounding the bases before you can hear the crack of the bat. Sorry Sonic, but you don't HAVE to run that fast...

~Project 1000~

"Oh No--Robo! No Mo' Mobo!" is the second story, which is a backstory of how Robotnik ended up terrorizing Mobius. Uncle Chuck is introduced here, as well as his shop Chuck's Chili Stand (sign on building: We deliver...and how!" Nice. Robotnik has started putting up signs declaring his taking over the city, with the slogan "Have fun - go to jail!" Anyway, Robotnik orders two hundred chili dogs to get Sonic away from Chuck which leads to his capture (and his dog Muttski as well). Reason for arrest: smiling. You read that right. After Sonic avoids being crushed by the wrecker ball, he realizes that he was set up, and rushes back to the chili stand (Editor's note here: Sonic is going faster than the speed of sound...the "zoom" noise will appear later this week! As if adding "zoom" will let me know that he is in fact moving that fast. Sonic arrives to find the Swatbots destroying the shop, to be replaced by what else...a toxic dump. Sonic starts attacking, which prompts a Swatbot command, "Terminate with extreme prejudice!" What a hate crime! I should add that Sonic does not know who Robotnik is yet, just that he's up to no good. We get our first Ro-Butt-Nik insult here. Sonic encounters Sally for the first time, who reveals that her father, King Acorn has also been captured by Robotnik. Sonic shows no interest in her problems, but Sally stops him before he takes off. It's revealed that Sonic's middle name is Maurice, which still cracks me up to this day. They find Robotnik, as well as an already enslaved Uncle Chuck and Muttski, but before they are captured as well, Sonic creates a tornado in order to escape. Sally tells him about the Freedom Fighters and Knothole and asks him to join, which of course Sonic agrees to do so. The story ends here, with the last page showing us Sonic's shoes and how they don't burn out due to his speed. That wraps up the first comic.

The issue did a good job of establishing the backstory and getting all the characters established into their roles. It also shows just how much of a prick Robotnik is, which even I never fully realized until now. This post is going to get flagged, but that really is the best word to describe Robotnik at this point. There's really no way anyone would want to root for him, even if you're a villain lover.

Wow that's a lot of stuff I wrote, wasn't expecting that. Anyway, that wraps up our very first issue of Sonic The Hedgehog, and it looks promising for the future.

Sonic The Hedgehog Mini-Series, Issue #0
February 1993


Before we can kick off the main series we got four mini-series issues to plow through. I can tell just by the chrome dome burn on the cover that we got some cheese ahead of us.

"Don't Cry For Me Mobius" is the first story of the issue. Some differences from what we'll see in the future: Robotnik's got a slightly different design, Princess Sally is red (which I did not know about), and Rotor is called "Boomer" here. We start with Robotnik trying to mega-muck Sonic who of course is too fast for him. First great lines: Robotnik complains that Sonic jumping is not fair, which Sonic replies "All's fair in love and war, Doc...and this ain't love!" followed by the burn, "Then again, maybe it is! I do love to drive him crazy!" Siiiiick. Eventually Sonic gets trapped between Robotnik and a Caterkiller. Oh no, how will he ever get out of this one? If you guessed jump over a mega-muck which hits Caterkiller instead, you would be right. Sonic tells us, the readers, where Knothole Village is located. I wonder how long they keep up with the characters being aware that we're reading a comic. Tails tries to mimic running at sonic speed and ends up tripping over a rock. Poor guy. Part I ends with a water leakage in the village, which worries Antoine that Robotnik might use dreaded "trickle down" technology to find and destroy them.

Part 2 opens with Robotnik in his office, complete with a nameplate on his desk, which reads: "Dr. Robotnik: Supreme Dictator, Industrial Polluter, Megalomaniac, Corrupt Politician, Underhanded Reprobate, Rain Forest Ravager, Puppy Kicker, Oil Spill Coordinator, Holiday Hater, Insurance Salesman." Man, this guy is pure evil. Anyway, it turns out the leak is caused by weeping willow trees literally ****ing crying because Robotnik has been mowing down other trees in the forest. They get ambushed by Robotnik, who's dishing out the checker wrecker ball from the first game. Sonic finds a power ring hidden in a well and wrecks his ship, but Robotnik uses a Buzzbomber to escape. The Freedom Fighters then plant some saplings so the willows stop crying, and that wraps up this story.

Intermission showing us Sonic's Six Speed Settings: Sub-Sonic (when he's underwater), Ultra Sonic (faster than Carl Lewis. No I am not joking), Super-Sonic (faster than a cheetah), Trans-Sonic (faster than a car), Hyper-Sonic (faster than a jet), and Warp-Sonic (faster than the speed of light). Also we cannot neglect his Sonic Spin, which Sonic comments, "I'm feeling spine and dandy!" XFD

Back in the day I was a huge fan of the Archie Sonic The Hedgehog comics. I picked it up around issue #30 and was hooked up to just before the 100th issue, at which point I kinda lost interest and never came back. Well about a month ago we were talking about this in the VGM chat and I felt the urge to read through them again. Luckily Ed Bellis was able to hook me up with the comics once again on the condition that I keep him updated throughout my readthrough. Well then, I thought, why not just make a topic about it?

So here we are, every Sonic comic produced, including the spinoffs. Bellis was also generous enough to provide me a list with the order I should read them in, as well as a list naming the more significant comics, of which I will comment more about. I guess I should say there will be spoilers in my commentary, but that's to be expected.

With that said, let's get started shall we?

ugh. If Radiohead's gonna have 3/5 in Top 5 at least get the order right (out of those three, In Rainbows > Kid A > OK Computer)

I thought the exact opposite about the Kings facing Vancouver. I figured they were the team that the Kings could rattle the easiest, and that they had a shot of winning the series if they could establish good physical play.

Then they absolutely shattered my expectations on that front. Brown's hit on Sedin is easily my favorite of the season
