![]() The second part of this story is nowhere near as strong as the first. They quickly arrive on the island and go about rescuing her. Luckily for Blaze, her friends survived Marine’s ship being destroyed. Metal intends to power the scavenged war ship with the Sol Emeralds and then use it to – what else? – take over the world. Following the fall-out of “Worlds Collide,” the remains of the Skull Egg have ended up in Blaze’s world. ![]() That would’ve been weird and fucked up and way too interesting for Sega to allow.Īnyway, “Pirate Plunder Panic: Part Two” begins with Captain Metal and his pirates carrying the captured Blaze to their island base. No, the mechanic pirates do not eat fleshies. Why squander even a little bit of suspense, ya know? Aside from that, it’s a pretty misleading cover. Still, knowing all this, I do wish “Sonic Universe: Issue 56” hadn’t spoiled Amy, Cream, and Marine’s return on the cover. (The only previous time Sega allowed the comic to kill one of its creation was Robotnik’s death in “Endgame,” and that was strictly with the guarantee that he would return within a year.) Death was absolutely off the menu, even for minor and forgotten characters like Marine the Raccoon. Sega wasn’t even comfortable watching its characters age or grow emotionally. ![]() Yet Sega created cast members, especially post-Pendersing, were effectively immortal. They might have even flirted with killing off major characters, like Sally or Antoine. Archie’s “Sonic” comic’s might have wracked up a decent sized body count over the years. As I said last time, there was absolutely no way Amy, Cream, and Marine were going to die.
