Sonic Universe #68
SCORE: 74
I just finished reading Sonic Universe #68. I got this comic book
locally for one dollar. It initially sold for $2.95 so it lost some
value. The condition of this comic book is actually pretty good so that
is nice. Maybe it will gain value going forward. Sonic Universe #68 starts
with From the Captain's Desk which is a lot like an editor's column in
the Family Friendly Gaming magazine and e-magazine. There will be
spoilers in this review.
Sonic Universe #68 contains some nice clean art that reminds me of the
television show. If you are currently looking for Star Blazers then you
should look for it under Space Battleship Yamato. I personally think the
Star Blazers name is better but that might just be me. There is a bit of
violence and lack of attire in Sonic Universe #68. There seems to be this
robots obsession with lifting a lady's dress and showing off her
underwear.
The storyline in Sonic Universe #68 makes little to no sense to me. We have
different characters before the Space Battleship Yamato lifted off. We
learn a bit about them. They all seem to be screw ups though. I am
wondering if there was an attempt at humor here. Sonic Universe #68 also
references this is a four part mini series. Which would mean it ends
after the next issue since it started at issue number zero.
We also see an alien battle in Sonic Universe #68. Things that happened in
this alien battle were referenced in other parts of the show and comic
books. This series is jumping all over the place telling different
stories from different time periods. There is a place where Star Blazers
#2 references there was some left out stories they wanted to tell. That
is all this issue seems to be to me.
There is a special article section at the end of Sonic Universe #68. That
contains an interesting interview if you are into this series. There are
twenty-four pages of content within Sonic Universe #68. I think I have the
final issue of this series. If now I will try and purchase it to finish
off this four part series. Sonic Universe #68 is an interesting story
without enough context in my opinion. I also hope to find time for the
anime at some point in the future.
