I’ve never liked the Deadly Six. I always thought they were so uninspired from their designs to their flat archetype personalities. But the IDW writers could squeeze blood out of a turnip. They are working with very little but managed to make these guys tolerable. And gosh! they give Sonic depth too. He questions his hero ideology in this volume but stays very much in character.

The next big bad villain arc is also heating up with Starline taking an active role to mess everything up! A little more backstory for Belle too.
