“…A Girl Named Hope” - Sonic the Hedgehog #108
This a is a pure fluff piece. Snively’s sister, Hope, writes a letter to the royal family asking if she could stay in Knothole instead of moving to Station Square with the other Overlanders. It exists to flesh out Hope’s background and establish her as a reoccurring character now that the main arc involving her is over with.
Only there’s not much to Hope as a character so there’ not much of a story here to tell. Hope exists to be your generic cute child character. What makes her interesting is her relationships to other more established character’s like Snively and Shadow and the development she brings to them.On her own she’s kind of bland, but not intrusive so I personally don’t mind her.
However, the reason why I’m including this story today is twofold.
First, this is ridiculously cute.
And second….
TAILS AND ANTOINE WORKING ON THE TORNADO TOGETHER!!! If this does not confirm my theory that Ant taught Tails how to fly a plane, I don’t know what does. They’re both pilots and they both maintain their airships together! Gah! Next time you go back to read StH 235 I hope you remember this scene and cry your fucking eyes out!
Other stories in this issue are the latest installment of the Green Knuckles arc and a story involving the original Robotnik returning life due to Green Knuckles’s time shenanigans and teaming up with Eggman. It’s filler, and while not necessarily bad, if feels like it’d be more at home in the early years then here in the dark ages.
