I think now’s a good a time as any to complain about one thing that IDW doesn’t do that Archie did: telling readers what the location is.

I really want to know where exactly Sonic and Espio are, but the comic provides nothing. I don’t know if I’m looking at a comic-exclusive location, or a game location that I can’t remember.

And yet they're begun carrying over the stupid character tags that Archie did. We can figure out who the characters are without intrusive labels filling the page, IDW.

According to early solicits, that Omega-like robot was probably supposed to be Theta. But for some reason (something to do with Theta being mentioned in the 'Mobius: X Years Later' stories, I think?) they changed it to be E-106 Eta instead.

Kind of a shame to see that Eta's seemingly just a copy of Alpha/ZERO now...

Oh yeah, that did happen.

Eh, at the very least, I'd like to see it for the newer or much lesser used characters.

Plus, that splash page made decent use of them.

It is also possible that someone might have made a mistake.

Doubt it. This isn't the Archie continuity, after all, so the unseen* E-Series robots are unlikely to be the same as in the Archie comics.

Still, a shame. I really liked Eta's design in those Archie comics.

*As in, unseen in the games.

I know it's nitpicky, but I'd sort of prefer if they just introduced the main cast of each issue on the first page like Archie used to do, instead of cluttering every page with logos.

I can;t even read the logos for Orbot and Cubot too clearly because of the colouring. 

And while we're at it, the timing that the naming comes in isn't even consistent; Espio, Orbot and Cubot get a name tag right away, but Vector and Charmy don't.

Or it could be E-106’ CHAOS Eta, not just regular Eta.

Again, doubt it. This may simply just be IDW's version of Eta.

Y'know I'm one of Peppers few defenders and even I think that covers not great.

I do like Gates main cover. It gets the idea of Eggman is back and Looming over Sonic.

Oh. Okay.

So get this; someone got the issue online early, right? Like, not the Redditor linked earlier, someone who got a digital copy.

The issue has a character info page before the main story as well as the name tags in story. 

I--what's the point of the name tags if there's a roll call??

We live in the era of trailers for trailers. Why not name tags before a roll call I guess...?

The snake is still alive?! I thought Sonic destroyed it internally

 

Spoiler

I kinda got the impression it just fainted. Either way, who's to say that's the same snake?
