Hello there, one and all! While Sonic the Hedgehog #279 has been delayed to December 30th, there have been reports that people have received the issue earlier.

For the first story, "Face of the Enemy Part Two: Friends in Deed," I would like to say that I really like the political issues between Sonic and Nephthys the Vulture, as well as Nephthys herself (yes, Neph is a she lol). I like the contrasting appearance of Nephthys, as she's an adult (from what it looks like, she appears to be in her early to mid-adult years) and has a truce with (surprise surprise) the local Shamar Freedom Fighters. Honestly, I didn't see it coming. I really like the complex dynamic going on and how the comic is finally getting into complex stories. It makes my heart happy.

As for the second story, "Hidden Costs Part Three," not much happens except what you expect: the good guys win and the bad guys lose. But, when Clove found out the reason the medication wasn't working for Cassia, I was pretty shocked. Eggman is a downright jerk. It makes me feel sympathy for the two pronghorns. I really like what's going on here.

And last but not least, I'm finally getting used to the two ten-page stories, as this one flowed really well (compared to last issue's, which I felt it didn't work well). Adam Bryce Thomas worked on the first story and his artwork has become much more incredible, especially on the character shots. And Evan Stanley served as the second story's artist, and her art is as good as ever. Great job, staff!
