“Changes” - Sonic the Hedgehog #78
Like with “A Brave New World” before it, “Changes” focuses on setting up the new character dynamics and story arcs for the upcoming era.
We open up with King Max giving Sonic a medal of honor and knighting him Sir Sonic. He also reinstates the Freedom Fighters officially to help combat Eggman.
And oh my gosh, Bunnie’s wearing a bowtie!!! Gah, it’s the cutest fucking thing ever!!!!!
Unfortunately we don’t ever get to see the rest of her outfit so I doodled up a quickhalf-assed concept.
Sloppy-coloring is sloppy. I legit did this with a mouse like ten minutes ago cause I didn’t want to take the time to hook up my tablet……
Next Antoine confines in Bunnie what he found out about his father a couple of weeks ago.
Ok a quick couple of things about this scene. First Bunnie is sporting her new design, meaning this takes place after “Upgrades”. Second this is setting up a future story-line later on down the road, between Ant and his dad. And last but not least baby Twan and his papa is still the greatest thing ever!
We also get an update on Sonic and Antione’s relationship.
Twan is now actively proud of his friend’s accomplishments and heroics. We’ve come a long way since his days of bitter jealousy.
But he’s still not putting up with any of Sonic’s bullshit. Good for him. I love the fact that Ant is that one friend in Sonic’s life that actively stands up to him and tells him off when he needs it, without going into dick mode to do it.
Other things that happen in this story are…
- Sonic has a heart to heart with his parents and Nate movies into Uncle Chucks old room
- Unbeknownst to everybody Queen Alicia reacts to being near the chaos emerald that Nate happens to just have ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Space ships are heading towards Mobius
- Mina is placed in charge of the orphans helping Rosie out. (It kinda makes me wish she and Rosie were shown developing a mentor relationship. But then again I’m always wishing for more Rosie)
- Geoffrey and Sonic finally bury the hatchet. Both the FF and the Secret Service will be working together more often now.
- Elias sulks around while looking pretty. He also overhears Doctor Quack tell his dad that his mom will die in a week. How much you wanna a bet that Max won’t tell his kids about it?
- Eggman starts planning for Sonic Adventure.
The other story in the comic is yet another part in the on going Tales of the Great Wararc.
You know it’s poetic really, having Antoine sitting in on this story, considering that’ll he’ll go through a similar experience later in his life. One can’t help but wonder that if the reboot hadn’t happened, just how much would history have repeated itself. hmmmm…….
