Mel-Sky & TheTodStar

Thank you for giving us more of Tangle & Whisper. While I too am bummed that they’re mute in CrossWorlds, I’m very grateful that there’s two different places to hear them… and huge props to the casting, cause their voices are perfect!

Here’s hoping we see more faces from the IDW comics…
- Todd

I do still miss the post-reboot era of Archie’s Sonic (that goes double for the Freedom Fighters), but the time to move on came ages ago. And honestly? IDW feels more enjoyable, but I can’t explain why.
- Todd

I’d like to take this opportunity to rub this in the faces of all who said IDW’s Sonic comics wouldn’t last or aren’t canon. 8 years later, and the first two heroes we met in the comics are now in an official console game!

Take THAT, haters and naysayers! They’re here, and they’re awesome!
- Todd

Pg18: As Rouge starts to feel embarrassed by being called ma’am, the boss fight against Infinite begins… can Luke & Sky get to the rookie in time to provide backup?

If you’re familiar with the story in Sonic Forces, you already know the answer.
- Todd

This game really makes me want to get into the IDW comics. But unlike Sonic, I dunno where to start…
- Todd

Based on the ingame menus, it looks like we’re getting three more characters in the future…
- Todd

Pg17: Gee thanks, Rouge. Broke the tension-breaker, much?

BTW, for those who don’t know, “pash” is Aussie slang for French kiss.
- Todd

I always wondered how to pronounce Gemerl (much like I did with Wispon), so thank you for this.
- Todd

Pg16: With a move inspired by Diddy Kong in Mario Strikers Battle League, Sky finishes the illusion. Now she and Luke have questions for each other…

We’re nearing the end of this comic, folks. Hope you’ve been enjoying it!
- Todd

That is a cute look for Nicole. Shame it was only seen once.
- Todd

Pg15: Because the Infinite monsters seen during Operation Big Wave looked kinda liquid-y, I figured it’d make sense for Sky’s new power to be seen in action here.

Also, this is the first time Mel has drawn Sky pulling off a Spin Jump.
- Todd

Pg14: Luke may have a temporary buff, but it looks like Sky’s got one that’ll last longer…
- Todd

Thank you so much for commissioning me. 😉🫂

Pg13: So THAT’S what Luke’s Wisp did to him! And it let him pull off a superhero landing!

I was inspired by something similar happening in both God of War Ragnarök and Star Wars Jedi Survivor.
- Todd

Pg12: Naturally, Luke is worried about Sky and wants to help, but because he has the one arm, he can’t… or so it seems…
- Todd

Pg11: As you can see, we tried to recreate those moments from Shadow Generations as best as we could.

But what’s happening to Sky? You’ll find out soon enough…
- Todd

Even if we have to pay for it, please!
- Todd

That’s pretty much how she sounds as Omochao. But her voice for Blaze is perfect!
- Todd

That is indeed Wily from MM11 as Vector. I’m think he’ll be back in the next Mega Man, especially if Roll returns and still voiced by Erica Lindbeck…
- Todd

Pg10: With a reference to the video prologue for Sonic Frontiers in the first panel, it would seem that Sky was meant for this. But what will she be graced/cursed with?

You’ll have to wait and see…
- Todd

This series is certainly keeping me guessing, and I like it. Can’t help but feel bad for Espio, though…
- Todd

That’s what throwing me off, to be honest. I’m sure the official videos don’t do Virtual Boy Classics justice, but the footage seen in those looked fine to me without the attachment.
- Todd

So you really do need the VB accessory in order to play those games?
- Todd

Pg9: Aaaand here’s why Mel & I have been so excited for this comic. Purely to see everyone’s reaction to this!

It goes without saying, but spoilers for Shadow Generations.
- Todd

The highlights of that decade for me would be Generations, All-Stars Racing Transformed, Mania and the IDW comics.

That decade is also when I met (and proposed to) the woman who’s now my wife. “Why did you mention that?” Cause our love of Sonic brought us together!
- Todd

Reference sheets for Sky & Luke, because they desperately needed one. 🩷💚
-Mel

If the price was keeping you from picking up Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, now’s the time to hit the racetrack, cause it’s 40% off!

You wanna play Mario Kart with friends, but none of you have the same system? CrossWorlds has got you covered! I highly recommend this game to any Mario Kart fan.
- Todd

Pg8: Now that she’s escaped from Infinite’s wrath, Sky feels hopeless while thinking back to when they were training together… and he KO’d her pretty quickly.

Can Sky find a way to fight back? Without Luke there to support her?

Wait til you see the next page…
