I've always wondered how Sonic the freaking Hedgehog has been able to sustain a comic book (and various spin-offs and mini-series) for 15 years, so when my wife grabbed a copy of the first issue reprint for her nine year old nephew, I had to check it out. After reading this issue, it's clear that the book has stuck around because it's just plain fun. The stories and characters all had a great sense of humor that readers old and young can appreciate. There are plenty of winks and nudges to the reader about this being a comic and that they are video game characters. All in all, it's a surprisingly entertaining package.
