Do I see Krudzu?

Oh, and Robotnik calling himself by both names at the same time was admittedly awesome. Can't wait to pick this up.

Ha ha, Snively chiding Eggman for "mocking Sonic from the shadows" was awesome. Looks great so far.

I thought they stopped hiring shitty artists for these. Guess not.

I was going to say, sure looks like it was drawn for Free Comic Book day.

I haven't followed the comic for years, but I thought that looked pretty good. Maybe a bit jagged and angular, but still enjoyable. I loved the panel layouts.

Yeah, the actual comic doesn't look like this does it? It took me by surprise.

The art is definitely not like that in the main series. Yardley's style (the main artist for the series) is quite different than that shown in the Free Comic, so don't use it as judgment if you dislike what you saw.

It makes for a good catch-up for anybody who hasn't read the 2009 series of comics. The story was pretty good too, especially for a free comic. I'm not going to reveal spoilers, but I will say that it is VERY nostalgic.

Your mom is a free comic

(drums)

Anyway, I think the comic I'm interested in the most out of that lineup would be Archie Summer Splash >_> But only if it's a double digest. I digest digests in one night.

I didn't know there was such a thing as free comic day.

With my computer, every day is free comic day~

Hey, fuck you. I worked on this book. I think it was a pretty decent artist, too.

For the record, the artist is James Fry, who last did work on issue 207.

The sketches in the last pages were a great addition too.
