I'm gonna write a full review later but for now...
First couple of pages, we have Sonic and Tails duking it out. Tails really seems to know some moves...though part of me wonders if Sonic is still holding back somewhat. Oh yea and there is much emo. Elias and Prower have a bit of a discussion and decide to settle things like true Eurpoean gentleman, SWORDFIGHT! Though Elias has some of the most whack weapons I've seen yet...really, what are they and how can they hurt someone? I should put up a scan of the page for people to see (If I'm allowed to do such a thing). Meanwhile Sonic and Tails take the fight outside, where Sonic mainly runs away and Tails continues to lands blows on him...until Tails reveals why he's so ticked off! Oh snap and it's over a GURL! Who would have guessed? After this bomb (And a weak one at that.)...we cut back to Elias and Prower, who are still duking it out...until some magic wall appears between the two, ending fight. While Nicole was ordered by Elias to not wake the king...she did wake up someone else. Alas, no more swordfight for now...
Sonic listens to Tails' cries and actually acknowledges that he's been a jerk and apologizes (Wait, what?)...however something about it is missing...ahhh well. They hot foot it over to the castle and find the two former combatants sipping tea (?!) while announcing their plans for the kingdom: A council of six members with Elias as the seventh so in a way the monarchy remains somewhat in tact. Of course Max is still sour...lesse...Rosemary decides to run because according to Tails, "Amadeus is the sword of the people," so I guess he'll keep the politicians in line...oh yea and Dimitri shows up saying Enerjak is back...heavens, do these people ever get a break?
XD I think we were both writing it at the same time...
And no, they never get a break, otherwise, there'd be no story! Unless you want it to be personal problems again.
I noticed that...haha...I suppose we can use your topic since mine is just a short review and I was too lazy to go pick up a copy earlier...=p
Seems like King Max is too set in his ways to accept any changes. Why does he hate Sonic so much anyway? Seems like this Sonic vs. Tails fight was based on a lot of misunderstandings which was fueled by the Fiona incident. Seems like Sonic did not mean to be insensitive, but he apologized anyway. I wonder if King Max will be plotting to regain power in the future. Funny how just when this civil war is resolved the Enerjak crisis is about to begin.

He's had those weapons for a lonnnnnng time... even on a cover from over a hundred issues ago. Is it hard to figure out how something with spiked blades on the sides would hurt someone?
And that Tails was mad over Fiona shouldn't be treated as a big reveal to the reader because it's been pretty obvious for a while now.
Well the blades are curved inward so yes it does seem kind of tough to see how they would hurt...
I am also aware that Tails was mad over Fiona but back in the last issue, Nicole said things had been tense ever since Sonic got back from space.
He was intrested in Fiona even back then, tho. Didn't Dub draw a pic of Tails getting her a drink of something (and Sonic worrying that he'd get his heart broke. Course once she changed to more form-fitting clothes he forget all about that :P)
Ahhhh okay then. Well then disregard point number two.
Wait what?
Sonic and Tails fight over? Dimitri tells everyone Enerjak is back...does half of the residents there even know whom he IS?!?!?!?
Yeah ok... like I said, sleep until 181-wake me up when we're there..
AWW COME ON MAN! I DONT EVEN HAVE 178 YET!!!!!!!
Thats it? Thats the fight? Geez, and this spanned how many pages? Well from what you say despite how short it sounds I dont think we've seen the last of this, I mean things dont end that quickly, after all of that building up and it ends just like that? I dont think so. Anywho the whole reason being that this is fueled by and begins with Fiona like we all know is rather obvious, but I can see why they did it.
Sometimes talk just wont work unless you know the reason, and even the simplest reason, the reason noone can see, or in this case see that would be the thing that would eat away. Yes we know about the whole Fiona thing. Sonic and Tails know about the Fiona thing. But neither of them have ever ADMITED! to it, or even brought it up, which is why I think that they did good in focusing on the issue. Remember the first stage is ADMITTING that theres a problem. Everyone knowing about it doesnt do anything, you have to physically get the reason out. THEN you can start fixing it.
I will admit I like the image of Amadeus and Elias about to duel for honor and then not too long later are sitting together drinking tea like the best of companions. That just sounds really funny and I cant wait to get my copy.
Trying to stay out of things until I'veread more than the BKP preview scans, but:

That was in 134.
And feel free to post a few scans of highlights, Tornadot. Just don't go crazy - I'm not sure what percentage of a comic constitutes "fair use" under US copyright law. 🙂
EDIT: It's a hard choice, but I'm locking this thread, since the basis isn't a full review. I'll link to it from the other 179 thread, though.
