I actually haven't paid much attention to Sonic X but it reminds me of the old Sonic comics, which I loved. And this one caught my eye this day at the shop.
Anywho Sonic X 25, the battle of the Rainbow!
First couple of pages has the rainbow Sonics causing trouble and mayhem...this doesn't get past the attention of Sonic who rather than wait for help, decides to deal with the threats, himself (Somethings never change...).
Meanwhile, we discover who is behind this increase in the local hog population...that mysterious group out to get Sonic. The explaination for the Sonics is...well they're non living carbon constructs, similar to bots but just with organic matter! Of course the ol' General is annoyed that not one of those hogs is blue! Opps, recall! However the infighting is cut short thanks to a news feed. Sonic has isolated himself in hopes of attracting the Sonics. Battle Royal!
In a snazzy couple of panels, as Sonic stands atop a building, the multicolored streaks zip up the building at breakneck speed. Too bad they're too out of control as he easily dodges their attack before zipping down the building in a few MORE impressive panels...wow, these Sonic psuedo clones suck at fighting! Smashed faces into the walls and into each other are the order of the day. Even while they're incompetent, Sonic realizes that he can't fight all of them and keep everyone safe...
...ahhh but the calvary arrives! Tails, Amy and Knux easily dispatch with the remaining Sonics. Of course this still doesn't get them anywhere until Knux subtly drops a hint of how they CAN get rid of them. Sonic's no dummy so he leads the rainbow crew on a little trip...but where?
Why to the phal--er erect tower of Eggman, who is out like a rock. Bocoe and Decoe try to arouse the doctor but it isn't easy...that is until Eggman gets a sight of a rainbow of Sonics headed his way! After practically creaming his pants, Eggman brings out the heavy artillery...hmmm where have we seen this before?
Too bad this Eggman's aim sucks! He hits everything plus the broad side of the barn in an attempt to blow up Sonic...at least he gets the clones, who were basically wiped off the face of the earth! Yowza! Upon realizing the shadowy group is behind the Sonics, courtesy a leftover sneaker, Sonic makes feet for Prison Island...where...
...oh snapz! It's blue and it's old school, it's Sonic! Course stupidity runs in these clones as Sonic fools...Sonic into smashing all the clone containers, stirring up quite a racket. Needless to say, the Sonic X groups catches wind and shoots down a hog hiding in the dust...but is it our beloved hog?
Of course not, or else there wouldn't be a Sonic X 26! Sonic races off, laughing to himself, to live another day...well not before thanking his friends for the help...
Review: The Sonics all went down all too easy, that's my only complaint...but they provided plenty of laughs...
I require scans of the final clone. NOW.
... please?
That is the most awesome thing to happen in the history of forever.
I don't care what anyone says, Sonic X the comic is full of absolute win.
That is absolutely BRILLIANT! I want this issue...like, now!
Tracy does "Classic" Sonic very well.
Aw man!! That is too awesome!! Too bad my ish has yet to get in the mail. 
:"> I'm not going to do this subscription thing anymore.
And darnit! You beat me to the review punch!
I got SX #25 today, and it was way awesome!
The fight between Sonic and the clones, Eggman's reaction to the clones, the final fight with a surprise clone, as well as the very last page, which pulls the story into #26 were all incredible!
Can't wait for the next 25 issues.
Now, it's time for MY review.
Sonic X #25 Review
The color of Sonic (AKA Taste the rainbow!)

STORY:
We start with Scarlet Garcia reporting breaking news that all over Station Square that several different colored Sonics (red, yellow, purple, green and orange)are causing mayhem all over station square. The worst violation being orange Sonic for public belching!! Sonic, Cream and that big burrito of sexiness Ella are watching the events unfold on T.V. Sonic is upset that this rainbow coalition of fake Sonics is causing so much chaos and sets off to fight them.
Meanwhile, down in labs of that notorious hate group S.O.N.I.C.X., Commander Passer is upset with doctor Narasu for those fake Sonics not having the same color as the real one. He explains that since they are not Sonic clones, but robots made of organic material, that it was impossible to get the colors right. (BTW thank you for not making them clones Ian. Otherwise it's too much like the Chao story.) The organizer (obviously Westwood) informs them that Sonic is challenging the rainbow Sonics to a fight.
They start thier fight at the top of a Skyscraper (with Sonic standing on a pole) and fight thier way down the side of the building with all six jumping off at the same time making a bit of a rainbow. (Since Station Square is based off of San Fransisco, I think they're used to seeing rainbows by now.) These Sonics are no match for the real deal and he easily dodges thier attacks. He has a fun time of it until thier fight starts to damage property and endangers people. But before he can think of a way to get them away from the traffic, the calvery arrives in the form of Knuckles, Tails, and Amy. They easily fight off the hedge-OH MY GOD!! THE ADVENTURES OF FINN AND FRIENDS!! PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK UNDER A BED!! SUCH PATHOS!! SUCH DRAMA!! SUCH ROMANCE!! THIS MAKES IT AN ABSOLUTE MUST BUY!!! WHEN THE ONE FISH WENT INTO THE DARK TOYBOX, I NEARLY CRAPPED MYSELF!! DEAR GOD, I WANT TO EAT THEM ALL SO THEY CAN TELL STORIES TO MY PANCREAS!!!-hogs. In fact Knuckles wants to know why they even bothered to show? Sonic explains that they are endangering others. Knuckles gets it and tell him he needs to lure them some place safe. Sonic gets a great idea of sending them someplace VERY unsafe.
Next, we see Dr. Eggmans hideout where the bots are trying desperatley to wake Eggman up from his mid-morning nap. Bokkun shows him the army of Sonic heading his way! He thinks he's having a nightmare, and sends tons of missles flying at the Sonics. Only the real one survives the onsluaght of missles, and finally discovers that S.O.N.I.C.X. was behind it all. Eggman sees the last one retreat and thinks he's had a happy ending to his nightmare and goes back to bed. Bunny slippers and all.
Sonic heads to the newly constructed Prison Island, and bursts in on Dr. Narasu. He reveals to Sonic his final copy, and he finally got the color right. The very cool twist? IT'S CLASSIC '91 SONIC!! Dreamcast Sonic has Genesis Sonic chase him around destroying the lab in the process. The others bust in and see a cloud of dust with a Sonic sillouette. They fire all thier guns at once and....EXPLODE INTO SPAAACE! LIKE A TRUE NATURES CHILD! WE WERE BORN, BORN TO BE WILD! WE CAN FLY S- Whoops! Sorry. They kill '91 Sonic. The real (dreamcast) Sonic thanks them for doing his dirty work. And runs off laughing. Content in the fact that he just got others to murder six different versions of himself. The event makes the news where Garcia interviews Sonic again. Eggman's bots are watching onscreen when Eggman comes out in his Gran Gordo costume. Saying that he's ready for the ring!
REVIEW: What a fun issue! It's the best Ian has done yet. The action scenes were well done. And the scene where Eggman thinks he's having a nightmare was funny as well. I also like the fact that each Sonic seemed to have slight difference in personality without saying anything. You could tell from the different expression on thier faces. (Was this Ian's idea or Tracy's)
Purple = Smug
Yellow = Cowardly
Orange = Indifferent
Red = Angry
Green = ....Very Angry? Envy maybe? (He had the same expressions as red.)
Also, the classic 91' Sonic was great fanservice.
OVERALL = 9/10 An issue worthy of being a 25.
I loved Eggman's cute little orange lava lamp.
Thanks for giving me a reason to actually want to go back issue shopping sooner than later. 😉
Just got this issue the other day just to try out the Sonic X comics for a change. The issue keeps on reminding me of fruit-loops. Or Jelly snakes.
