I made the decision to treat Archie's Sonic The Hedgehog and Sonic X as two completely different series for the purpose of this survey. As a result, none of the questions below combine the two series in terms of rating them against each other. If you read only one series, then only answer the questions that pertain to the series that you read. Please don't answer questions for a series that you do not read. A quick guide for the questions--Sonic The Hedgehog Questions: 1-18 and 27-32; Sonic X Questions: 19-26 and 33-38.
Either send an email to shq@truered.net with "2005 In Review" as the subject header OR post a response to this topic. If you want to be anonymous, you must take the email route. The deadline for responses is March 4, 2006. If you live in an area that gets the comics on a several month delay (certain parts of Australia come to mind) and you would like to participate after you've read Sonic #157 and/or Sonic X #4, then send an email to shq@truered.net with "2005 In Review Delay Request" as the subject header. I will delay the results posting if I get requests.
Have fun answering and please don't comment on someone else's responses within this topic. The discussion topic is here.
