The Archie comic series of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise was the longest-running video game comic series to exist but it has had its ups and downs. But when the series went down, it went REALLY down in both story and art style. Some of the panels in the comics are so atrocious that Sonic […]
Introduction: While having some pretty underrated games, the Dark Age of Sonic didn’t do well for the reputation of Sonic. Sega needed the franchise to be simpler and more accessible to kids.
