Book Reviews of Sonic The Hedgehog Select Volume 2 (Sonic Select) (v. 2)
Book Review: Could of been more special
Summary: 3 Stars
As some people may be aware of from my priar reviews of the Sonic Archives series I have a real admiration for Patrick Spaziante's (Spaz's) work. It's not just that his drawing skills are leaps and bounds above the other artists in the comic but also that the strips he works on seem to be less comical and more action packed, sometimes deep. It gave me great joy that Spaz makes an appearance in this comic, leading the charge with the superb `Mecha Madness'.
The best reason to buy this book is without a doubt the `Mecha Madness' special. After finally becoming Robotnik's dream robot Sonic has begun to lay waste to Knothole Village and its inhabitants. In desperation Knuckles is mecha-nised by Sally with his free will intact leading to one of the most spectacular showdowns in the series thus far. Expect plenty of thrills, spills and thankfully less corny one liners then other strips. With the entertaining `Knuckles Quest' (Spaz again) is there any other strips worth your time?
Unfortunately the other strips and specials are hardly worth mentioning but for their flaws and setbacks. The `Crash of the Titans' special sees Sonic and Knuckles having another fight for......well really no reason apart from pure fan service ; something that could still hold up for that alone but falls flat on its face. It's a typical bad humour approach with corny sentences like "I 8 [hate] it!" and dialogue that can feel out of character. It doesn't help that the characters have a desperate desire to describe everything they are doing, as if we didn't have eyes to see that Knuckles was kicking Sonic in the face. The art is passable, decent at times but doesn't do the fight between the two characters and eventually their super forms justice.
Other areas of non-interest include the freedom fighters trip to a carnival on the Floating Island (invitations postmarked Robotnik) only to be captured in Robotnik's incredibly brilliant trap. If Knuckles didn't invite you guys wouldn't you suspect it was a trap? This includes the introduction of the Choatix Crew including Vector, Charmy, Espio and Mighty who join up with Knuckles for future `adventures' including games of tag and attack of the poorly designed `Fearsome Foursome'.
It can't be expected for every strip in this comic to be outstanding but I still wanted them to be something special as this is that kind of collection.
