Review: Sonic the Hedgehog x DC – Metal Legion #1
Jonathan reviews Sonic the Hedgehog: Metal Legion #1, a Sonic/DC crossover follow-up to the Sonic/Justice League story.
He notes Ian Flynn returns as writer and an artist with the last name Thomas provides strong, Sonic-authentic art.
The plot centers on portals reopening between the Sonic and DC universes as Sonic’s team and the Justice League reunite, leading to frequent team-ups and light character moments, including a standout Shadow/Robin interaction.
Jonathan says prior reading isn’t necessary to enjoy it, and the antagonist reveal is unsurprising.
He praises vibrant, well-balanced coloring, dynamic action, and expressive faces, while noting DC characters sometimes look odd or too “Sonic-like.” Overall, he recommends the issue as a fun, not-too-serious crossover.
