SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #185
"Mogul Rising": Life's been good for Sonic and is friends, but as any longtime reader of this series knows, that can't possibly last for long! That's because the once super-powerful villain Mammoth Mogul is threatening to revive the Fearsome Foursome... from behind bars! Just how can he accomplish that... and how will his plan put Sonics closest friends in the greatest danger? It's a fistful of mystery and shocking revelations as only Sonic can deliver!
SCRIPT: Ian Flynn. ART: Matt Herms & Jim Amash.
COVER: Tracy Yardley & Ben Hunzeker.
PLUS!: "The Misfit Badniks Salty, Soggy Sequel": The classic Sonic team of Mike Gallagher and Dave Manak are back for a brand-new, modern-day Sonic classic loaded with some of the most popular classic Sonic villains including the original version of Metal Sonic known as Pseudo-Sonic!
SCRIPT: Mike Gallagher. ART: Dave Manak.
My reply:
Hmm. This looks good. Ash has cooled off (Well, you know what they say about absence) and Matt's art looks great. The only thing I am not so keen on is the coloring. Especially the color scheme for Ash. He just doesn't look "Cool" without wearing at least some black. Can't wait to buy this one from my local comic shop
Nice.

The Only One There Is
Huh?
Yeah, according to Ian, the correct line is supposed to read "The Strongest One There Is."
This looks good. Are Ash and Mina joining the FF now? Or, will they be part of the substitute FF? Too many FF going around but it's a nice spin into the story. I also liked how the HQ was salvageable.
Wait a sec...so Yardley didn't draw it, but he got credited for it? Wha?
I think that was a typo in the original post. I'll fix it.
Well, there is only one Mighty the Armadillo in the prime universe. But "the Strongest One there Is" definetely makes an infinite amount of more sense. But the coolest part about this is that Mighty was important enough of a character to warrant a label in the who's who section; Either that, or obscure enough, I suppose.
Gotta be "important enough". You could hardly call Sonic or Tails obscure, and Mina and Mogul are pretty well known by the comic readership too.
Unfortunately, whoever writes Archie's preview blurbs, seems to make a lot of mistakes with the credits. I did the basic page layouts for issues 185 and 186, and Matt did the final pencils.
Tracy!
o.o For once...Mina seems in control of her speed, as they speed through Knotholedeath there...
Wait PAUSE! They were on TOUR? TO WHO? I totally forgot about them during 175, you mean they couldn't get any damn signal to that damned plane?
Well whatever. Least Ash isint so emo.
Yes, it was mentioned in some issue(I forgot which one)that Mina went on tour, to where actually I don't know. Reading the preview pages, it doesn't look that Mina and Ash are joining the FF's, Sonic basically said that there is room enough at the HQ, and Mina and Ash are welcome to visit and hang out any time.
WARNING SPOILERS!!!
Mogul has now removed Mina's lack of self confidence in her speed, and likely her klutzness as well... not good for everyone else!
END SPOILERS!!
