This Free Comic Book Day offering from 2008 reprints the complete first issue of Sonic the Hedgehog from 1993.
There are two main stories here. First up, Dr. Robotnik has a horde of robotic Aubrey-II-resembling plants all set to take over the forest above Knothole. But much like the invading aliens in the film, Signs, Dr. Robotnik fails to take one question into consideration: What if it rains?
Next, Sonic attends a casino sales pitch by Dr. Robotnik only to be captured and trapped inside the ball of a giant pinbasll machine.
The book finishes with a trio of joke strips (not all that funny, but kids might enjoy the slapstick moments). There is also a recipe for chilli. No, really! Actually it's technically a recipe for chilli DOGS, but it still looks quite tasty.
The jokes were hit-and-miss throughout this book. The action had its moments, but overall this early issue seemed to still be finding its footing.
Rating: 5/10
