Prior to the reboot Metal Sonic was an entire line of robots that were treated as tough cannon fodder, not a single character. Blaze almost loses her cool when a named mook, Buckle, knocks Blaze out with a single blow to the head and then we find Captain Metal is a rebuilt Metal Sonic. ![]() Blaze surrenders so Metal won’t destroy her friends but she arrives after he finished counting and he says (after shooting it) “A cap’n has to make good on his word” and blows Marine’s ship to kingdom come. Then Cream suggests ramming them as it what Sonic would do which make sense considering the ship is pretty much lost, might as well cause as much damage as possible. I could go for some roast duck.Ĭutting back to Marine’s ship we learn that the ship is taking on water and is completely screwed. The scene ends with Blaze completely incinerating the pirates and telling Bean he will share their fate. When Blaze asks why he points out that he was working with a bounty hunter/assassin the last time they met so why wouldn’t he work with pirates and he is right, Blaze was pretty stupid to trust him. Blaze tries to keep herself and Bean hidden and he responds by selling her out. We cut back to Blaze while Bean gives his only funny line in the arc, “Would it kill you guys to get a continent or two?” Metal makes his ultimatum to Blaze, surrender or her friends die. While Bean and Blaze sneak around on the ship and Marine blows herself up, Metal is informed the Blaze slipped aboard the ship and says he wants the loudspeaker. Bean the Dynamite isn’t that bad in small doses but he is a major character in the arc and he started to grate on my nerves in the second issue. Plus, she ends up going over by herself anyways.Īfter flying over to the ship, Blaze climbs up the ladder on the side of the ship and ends up running into Bean. I actually agree with what Blaze was saying, in this arc she and Amy are the only ones who show any fighting prowess plus I doubt Cream would be any good in a fight and Marine is probably the only one who can lead the incompetent bunch of koalas they call a crew. While yelling at Cream, Amy saves Blaze from being hit by a bomb and then apologizes for losing her temper. Whenever she speaks I imagine her voice sounding like someone doing a bad Steve Irwin impression and it isn’t help the fact that she doesn’t have a VA.īlaze orders Marine to bring her ship in closer so she can go aboard the enemy ship with Amy, Cream, and Marine protesting that she cannot go alone. Last we saw of Blaze she had two of the Emeralds but now she has six? Not going to show us the rest Yardley? During this we get Amy knocking away cartoon bombs the ship is firing, Cream saying she won’t hide anymore then she already has, and *sighs* Marine speaking in what I assume to be false Australian slang and forced nautical terms and she lives up to the title given to her by the comic of “Loudmouth Captain”. Long story short, she is looking for the final Sol Emerald which is being held by some pirates in a ship made completely out of metal. The issue opens with Blaze giving a narration as to what is going on. PPP was not written by Ian Flynn but by the long-time artist, Tracey Yardley. This is most likely a nod to the Universe arc Treasure Team Tango in which all of Team Dark was widely OOC and Blaze was nerfed to shill Amy. We start with Sonic Universe #55 and we are already off to a bad start with the title, Pirate Plunder Panic. But overall I believe the title has done its job of fleshing out the comic’s world adequately even if it could be done better. This has led to a problem of important plot points being introduced in Universe that aren’t adequately explained when they show up in the main title. Sonic Universe is a title I believe was launched to help flesh out the Sonic universe as there is only so much you can do while focusing solely on a single team. Welcome to Tales from the Sonicverse where I review the Sonic Universe arcs since the reboot. So if the formatting seems weird it's because of DA. ![]() I originally posted the review in the Anti-Archie-Sonic group on DeviantArt and I have now posted it here with only one change and that is a negative point I didn't realize because I finished writing this review at four in the morning.
