I chose a warrior and a rogue, while my opponent went with a warrior and a mage....

Archie’sSonic Universespin-offis all well and good, but what’s going on in the main series? Next month marks the comic’s 236th issue, so yeah, a whole damn lot is going on. In fact, I’ve mentioned before that one of the comic’s hilariously unfortunate necessities is the need to constantly reference past events for the benefit of newcomers. One page in #236 features no less than five footnotes! That’s a lot of asterisks!...
