Sonic Comic Mocks Sonic Games

Kotakuite, Chad had the pleasure of attending Free Comic Book Day yesterday and came upon a Sonic the Hedgehog comic book.

This Saturday was Free Comic Book Day, and Archie Comics released an exclusive issue of Sonic The Hedgehog as a lead-in to Sonic #175. In the issue, Robotnik captures Sonic, attaches a "Neuro-Transceiver", and controls him via a video game pad against his friends.

Sonic #175? I'll just let my confusion and horror go on that one. But the real meat of the story, if you can call it that, is what happens when Robotnik actually starts playing his Sonic game. (I apologize for the poor quality of the attached picture, but that's how it came to us) If you can't read it, Robotnik exclaims

It's not my fault! The controls are horrendous! I should've spent more time in development.

I love it when a company has enough of a sense of humor to be able to make fun of itself. Now let's talk about Shadow of the Hedgehog...
