overall I'm very happy with issue 2! from seeing more zones on angel island again to a zone that we haven't seen in a very long time, I'm very excited to see where this whole plot is leading to. unfortunately the solicitations somewhat spoiled parts of the story, which can't be helped but it still sucks bcuz the reveal of the hard boiled heavies returning again would've been much more exciting closer to issue 3 coming out w/ preview pages or smth
I'm not sure if I enjoy the way team hooligan is written currently though - they're not called that in IDW-verse though they're just simply called "fang's gang",
team hooligan is an archie thing, and they lived up to that name in archie
I can understand that fang's self centered personality is smth bean and bark would get tired of over time, and that they dislike how fang is always putting them in less than favourable situations,
and is even willing to work w/ eggman who usually doesn't pay up if his plans aren't fully realized... but I liked how in amy's 30th anniversary comic fang seemed to have a soft spot for bark and bean, these were two ppl who were always w/ him causing antics whether successful or not, and that is lightly touched upon in the fang mini-series but I'm worried team hooligan is going to have a falling out at the end of this 4 issue mini-series and then it serves as an explanation as to why bean and bark aren't seen in superstars, which the mini-series takes place prior to
I'm also really interested in the secondary plot w/ sonic, tails, and the disappearing ship, which is supposed to also lead fang's gang to the same area roughly, so there's gonna be some cool classic-era lore happening!
all in all I know we're only 2/4 issues into this mini-series and things could easily change from issue to issue, I guess I'm just anxious over the thought of not seeing my favourite trio of characters together anymore, but I'm sure things won't end
terribly
