IDW Sonic: The Amy Rose 30th Anniversary Special | A Comic Review by Megabeatman 

I wonder if anyone pointed this out yet. In a way, Amy formed an early version of Team Rose. Ray was the friendly flight companion. Bark was the big power companion. Heck, even the blue Flicky could be a stand-in for Cheese. _Personally, I would've used Carrotia and Honey._ With the latest TailsTube video, I hope the gates have been opened for Classic characters to appear in the Modern era and vice-versa. Within reason of course. Maybe Classic Charmy is a baby bee. I mean, the Mario series have shown how active baby characters can be. I hope Knuckles' 30th Anniversary Special features him wearing his treasure hunter hat. I'd hoped that he would team up with the Chaotix or fight EggRobos, but having him start a rivalry with Fang is... fine...

I'm aware of the new TailsTube that came out regarding Classic Era characters & games. I was already too far into editing to fully adjust to it. The best I could do was make a last minute note in the video. Timing was not good to me in this case.

1. I read a comment on a sneak peak of this comic saying Metal Sonic crushing a slice of cake pretty much says he's doing everything to become Sonic and be better than him, as well as a reference to Sonic in a Twitter Q&A saying, "Strawberry shortcake sucks!". 2. Amy's closeup on her right eye tells me this is a girl with Metal Sonic PTSD.

Something I found interesting reading around is that apparently Tarot card reading in japan is meant to be something girls do casually when they’re young so supposedly the tarot thing wasn’t meant to mean much in terms of anything mystical but showing off the kind of girl Amy was with a shorthand Japanese people would understand

Wished this was mentioned in the review, but the colours in this special really pop out. The shadings, the different colour palettes from panels like Amy's expressions throughout the comic like her fear of Metal Sonic, and the faded backgrounds for flashbacks, the colour scheme kinda reminds me of the art style of the Sonic CD cutscenes. To me, in comparison with the previous anniversary specials, Amy's anniversary special has the best colouring throughout the comic.

8:36 - Is it wrong that I’m more concerned about Bean just carrying around a framed picture of his dad than I am about the coffee table, rug, and chair?

Amy also has a Flickie teaming up in Sonic Prime, both Rusty Rose and the Jungle Cage Amy has 1

Saw Honey in one of those capsules! Only a matter of time before she makes her TRUE RETURN

Good News, Man! Because of Fang's Big comeback in the comics and in Superstars, HE'S GETTING A COMIC MINISERIES!

Knuckles Chaotix is canon thanks to tailtube yesterday, as well as mighty, ray, and Fangs and his gang

So we're all in agreement that knuckles special might be either a focus on Angel Island or they might just go ahead and lump in team chaotics's one after all I don't think they are going to really encourage the revival of the 32 X? I wonder if there will ever go with the idea that we have been following junior in the modern era and senior is in the past era for the bee it would be kind of interesting if they played up with that?

This was a fun comic. I personally had no idea it was out until I saw it at the comic store and immediately grabbed it. The plot was simple but fun. I enjoy character meeting new characters and teaming up. It was an interesting team up. And the art was fantastic

its weird im sure most of us forgot or never knew she did tarot but now its one of her main gimmick to the point where they can sell tarot cards.

5:06 or how he looks on the title screen in Sonic 2. Maybe both.

The reality is the reason why knuckles chaotic Sis never use is because the English translation made him 16 when he should been 6. after Sonic Heroes, all English comics must make sure that he a kid.

Were the tarot cards idea from Sonic CD came from the Japanese manual or the American manual? Cuz I don't think it was in the American manual I think due to the religious reference

Yay Amy!!!

5:03 - That is evil!

Metal Sonic should count himself lucky that a certain other pink character didn't see him destroy that cake, because heads will roll. XD

well, I can't wait for Knux's 30th Anniversary Special in 2024.

Looking at the likes of Mighty & Ray, it angers me that SEGA is refusing to Modernize the Classic cast.

The Classic Era stories are always a good time. I’m mostly fine with them being relegated to special occasions, but I wouldn’t be mad if they were more frequent either.

Tails Tube did the funniest thing ever

Good video

I'm glad that Sonic Cannon is being organized to have everything explained especially The Disappearance of classic era characters in the modern era and explanations for past Adventures of the characters although I'm still wondering how they're going explain Knuckles chaotix and that's the weird one, in Sonic Heroes it was they're reintroduction, it's supposed to be a fresh new start and then the game was considered Non Canon but the game was reintroduce back into Canon so that's going to have some weird Ripple effects

Sonic is Heroic Tails is Passionate Knuckles is Strong As For Amy, Shes All 3!

Hm, how very interesting, this was a new Story, I really do like Amy. I wonder what an Amy Game would be like? Anyway, i wonder what’s next?

I want more classic era comics too.

Please do a review of Sonic Superstars trio of trouble

To me this story happened in her head because i see Classic Amy as still liking Sonic alot.

Honestly, this was the weakest of the 30th Anniversary specials. I get that they wanted to show there's more to Amy than being a hammer wielding powerhouse, but they could've at least tone down the flash cards tremendously. Like I was looking back at the episode of Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi, where Yumi relay too much on that fortune fish

Sega didn't do a special for Sonic Satam's anniversary because they don't care about this show, that maybe the reason the blu-ray version of Satam is garbage.

Am i the only who ships amy and bark?

1:49 you kinda losing me here
