Summary

Team Sonic defeated the Metal Virus， but things are far from back to normal。 What have they lost， and which villains will seize the opportunity to strike？ First， "Untold Tales of the Metal Virus！" As Dr。 Eggman's technological plague sweeps the world， some of Sonic's greatest allies and most sinister foes must face the threat alone！ Witness wrenching tragedies and surprising acts of bravery in six stories from the darkest days of the virus。 Then， in the aftermath of the Metal Virus Saga， the world has changed。 Heroes and villains plan for the future as reconstruction begins。 But one hero remains missing， even as Dr。 Eggman launches a new assault， determined to take down his enemies once and for all。 Faced with new challenges and the legacy of a friend， can the Resistance prevail without the full support of their allies？ Collects the Sonic The Hedgehog 2020 Annual and issues #30–32 of the ongoing comic series。

3。5/5 An epilogue to the Metal Virus Saga that sets everything back to the status quo while setting up future plot lines to be explored。 The epilogue itself is good， but there’s a lot of odd decisions made in what stories are collected here。 This book includes a set of stories from the Sonic annual issue that were set during the virus outbreak。 They really should have included them in earlier volumes， and it’s VERY odd to be reading them now after the Metal Virus is gone。Sending Sonic to the Sol 3。5/5 An epilogue to the Metal Virus Saga that sets everything back to the status quo while setting up future plot lines to be explored。 The epilogue itself is good， but there’s a lot of odd decisions made in what stories are collected here。 This book includes a set of stories from the Sonic annual issue that were set during the virus outbreak。 They really should have included them in earlier volumes， and it’s VERY odd to be reading them now after the Metal Virus is gone。Sending Sonic to the Sol Dimension with temporary amnesia feels like wasted potential。 I would not have minded seeing this series have Sonic explore Blaze’s home world， but the book immediately restores Sonic’s memory and sends him on his merry way。 I can’t help but wonder if this was an aborted plot line， considering Evan Stanley officially takes the helm next volume。Make no mistake， Sonic Vol。 8 is still a good book， it just feels like the awkward middle child as the creatives behind the series start shifting around。 。。。more

The Metal Virus has been defeated， but Sonic is nowhere to be seen！ Doctor Eggman takes this as a prime opportunity to attack， but just because Sonic is gone doesn't mean the world is without protectors。 Plus， untold tales of the Metal Virus saga！This volume is basically the epilogue to the Metal Virus， as well as Ian Flynn's run on the book。 While Sonic's fate is a forgone conclusion （this is a Sonic comic after all）， the more interesting things are happening to the people left behind。 It's oft The Metal Virus has been defeated， but Sonic is nowhere to be seen！ Doctor Eggman takes this as a prime opportunity to attack， but just because Sonic is gone doesn't mean the world is without protectors。 Plus， untold tales of the Metal Virus saga！This volume is basically the epilogue to the Metal Virus， as well as Ian Flynn's run on the book。 While Sonic's fate is a forgone conclusion （this is a Sonic comic after all）， the more interesting things are happening to the people left behind。 It's often Sonic's supporting cast that are more interesting than the Blue Blur himself， and this is a good example of why， since they're great when they get to take centre stage。 I always enjoy Amy getting some spotlight time， for example。The annual feels a little out of place; it'd really have been better collected during the Metal Virus Saga itself， but that would have overloaded one of the trades so I guess that's why it's here instead to fill out space。 Most of the stories are decent， although the Big The Cat one really stands out as he does his usual thing of wandering through the events of the story to find Froggy as hilarity （and heartbreak） ensues。I doubt I'll comment much on the art any more。 The rotating team of Sonic artists are all very similar in tone given the subject matter， and unless someone stands out or falls flat， I'll just say that it does the job and move on。Out Of The Blue isn't a bad volume at all， but it does feel a bit tacked together and tacked on。 The character work is solid， but the story is mostly just a reset/return to the status quo， which is to be expected， but still a little disappointing。 I hope that Sega give IDW a bit more creative control like Hasbro have with TMNT and Transformers， so we can get something a bit more substantial in the future。 。。。more
