“Dragon’s Lair” Crouching Hedgehog Hidden Dragon I - Sonic the Hedgehog #106
Last issue, which we didn’t cover, featured Eggman murdering Snively’s dad, robotizing Snively himself, and Sonic and Sally freeing the rest of the Overlanders along with Snively’s sister, Hope. Today the Freedom Fighters are on their way to Station Square (The Hidden City of the Ancients) to ask the humans to take the Overlanders in. On their way way there, this happens.
So I understand what Bollers is trying to do here. He’s trying to have the FFs act more like a team by giving everybody something to do. Antoine’s the group’s pilot so what’s better than having him show off his skills and save everyone from crashing? The problem is the way it’s presented though.
For starters the layout is bland and confusing. Add in the vague, generic dialogue and it’s hard for the readers to understand what’s going on. There’s no real reason given on screen for Antoine to have such trouble flying. And yes I know Ant says he’s just as a confused as to what happened, but the audience should at least be given a hint. Otherwise it just looks like Twan’s purposefully dicking around to annoy his friends.
Also that call back to the love triangle is misplaced and ruins the pacing of the scene. Like why do we need two close calls with the plane acting up back to back?
So every one arrives in one piece and the president agrees to take in the refugees if the Freedom Fighters help them get rid of a dragon who’s attacking the city.
The second story picks back up the Green Knuckles arc and we’re introduced to everyone’s “favorite” mary sue….. Lara-Su.
