My favorite issues include (but are not limited to) the following:

- The Iron Dominion saga (STH #201-212 + SU #13-16)

- ...Two Steps Back (STH #230)

- At All Costs: Part 1 (STH #247)

- Countdown to Chaos: Part 4 (STH #256)

- Damage Control (STH #257)

- Treasure Team Tango (SU #21-24)

- Secret Freedom (SU #41-44)

- Pirate Plunder Panic (SU #55-58)

- Worlds Collide: Parts 4 (MM #25), 5 (#SU #52), 6 (STH #249), 7 (MM# 26), 9 (STH #250), & 12 (STH #251)

Of these issues, 26 are set in the old timeline, 6 are set in the new timeline, & 6 during the Worlds Collide crossover event.

STH #230 was the first Archie Sonic issue I ever read, so of COURSE it'd one of my favorites. The Iron Dominion saga had to be one of the best story arcs in the whole series, although the fact that many of them were drawn by Steven Butler kind of ruins it for me (God, I HATE his artwork...). Treasure Team Tango was/is just plain hilarious, while Secret Freedom was ULTRA-cool (said arc would ultimately be the last we saw of Elias Acorn, Leeta, Lyco, & likely Larry Lynx before the Ken Penders case forced Archie to scrap them, but at least they got to go out with a bang, if y'know what I mean). Like BlueSpeeder, though, I got confused by the series' HUGE backstory (as such, the reboot cleared things up for me like it did for BlueSpeeder).

STH #256 & #257 are easily my favorite Post-Super Genesis Wave main series issues (in fact, the ending of STH #256 was what finally made me accept that the reboot was actually real & not just temporary; seriously, I was just THAT shocked), while Pirate Plunder Panic, meanwhile combines the action & adventure of Secret Freedom with the hilariousness of Treasure Team Tango (Bean the Dynamite FTFW!).

As of now, I look forward to seeing what else the reboot has to offer. One story arc I'm particularly looking forward to is The Great Chaos Caper (SU #63-66). Team Hooligan vs. Team Chaotix & Knux---now THERE'S a match I'd probably pay my money to see.
