Sonicomics: "Sonic Lost World" Review

Lost World is one of the few Sonic games I've never played and know little about. So this comic adaption seemed mildly interesting.

I watched the first cutscene since then and was dismayed to find a lot of similarities. However, it's not a simple remake like some of the other "in another time/place" stories. It tries to give the game more background with some flashbacks for Sonic and Eggman, but it's nothing much. Another improvement was mentioning that the animal capsule was falling on the Lost Hex too--in the game they seem to completely forget it's existence.

Ryan Jampole manages to do a decent job with the pencils, but some of the "action" moments from that first cutscene are slower and clunky. Most impressive is his work with Eggman's expressions, even improving upon the game. The colors (Dustin Evans) are bright and lively.

Final Ranking (S is beset, E is worst): C

It's longer than most and it's art is nice. It tries to add more, but over all it's lackluster.
