“This podcast has been an absolute treat from the day I stumbled upon it. I’m bingeing through all the past episodes as we speak and loving every second of it. A well polished, thrilling, white-knuckle ride back to a time of free fruit pastels, Woolworths and the excitement for the 32X (oh how...”Read full review »

“If you’re a silly yank who only grew up with the furry soap opera that was Archie’s Sonic the Hedgehog comic, you owe it to yourself to dive into Sonic The Comic alongside this show.”

“As one of the dirtiest Archists to ever foul the face of the earth, I find that even my cold, dead heart is lifted by the pure and true enthusiasm of these gents as they recount, in loving detail, the contents of the alternate exploits of Sonic and friends from across the pond.
Forget your...”Read full review »

“Well there’s nothing wrong with it. And y’all have planned all this out just to get a bad review for no reason. The podcast you guys made is amazing and how I learned more about the comics I grew up reading. It’s just good by itself. Anyway’s I’m out of here.

“As an American Sonic fan I was always curious about the Fleetway comics. Now I have a way an entertaining way to enjoy an interesting take on Sonic. If it is possible though it would be nice to listen to this on Spotify just for convenience sake.”

Love hearing you two reminisce on your childhoods in the 90s, while I grew up in the 00s, I inherited my mum’s mega drive at a very young age and as such, the...”Read full review »

“I knew nothing of this comic series before hearing it pitched on another podcast I listen to, and I’m glad I’ve given it a try!
I work nights making EVs in Normal, IL. Listening to each recap helps the hours melt away at the end of a 12 hour shift. Thanks gentlemen for such a delightful product....”Read full review »

“Can’t speak highly enough about this show. Chris and Dave are warm, intelligent and funny as all hell. It’s mainlining nostalgia straight into my 90s kid brain - it’s totally unimportant to be familiar with the comic. Always a delight”

“Downloaded this podcast thing just to give it a rating, heh. I’ve known about this podcast for a while, and was meaning to give it a listen, as well as a read of STC itself, as I didn’t grow up even close to where it was sold and definitely didn’t exist in the 90’s. Sadly, was one of those Archie...”Read full review »

“One of my favourite podcasts of all time. Sonic the Comic was such a huge part of my childhood and it’s an absolute joy to hear it revisited with such great hosts.

Dave and Chris are exceptional hosts with great chemistry, transporting me back to a more care-free time. Even if you have no prior history with...”Read full review »

“A really fun trip back in time, going issue-by-issue through Sonic the Comic: the UK’s official Sega comic from the 90s.
RAVES: Great nostalgic fun with charming hosts - Dave and Chris are genuinely funny and entertaining.
GRAVES: Graphics could be better.

However as a Sonic fan I must also lower my...”Read full review »

“If you want a well-produced, highly entertaining, and deeply nostalgic trip through the Sega-sational era that was the early 90’s then look no further as two of the biggest SonCom marks teach those Archists a thing or two about humour, character, and canonicity! Check it out, (Sonic) Boomers!”

“I am an American, and I would describe my interest in Sonic the Hedgehog as “casual” at the best of times. As such, a podcast devoted to meticulously analyzing issues of a British comic book tie-in to the Sonic the Hedgehog video games would seemingly not be up my alley. Nevertheless, I gave...”Read full review »

“Never stop this show till you c over every episode .... and then cover STC online. Amazing idea for the show for fans like myself who feel STC is sonic canon and beats out the Archieverse ... Kintobor, Omniviewer and how sonic got green eyes, was all in these comics. Well written and amazing art....”Read full review »

“A funny and informative page by page look back at each issue of STC. Its great hearing about all the tidbits behind the scenes of the comic (where all the writers and artists are now) and the play by play of the stories is nostalgic as hell. They even do short radio-play style inserts sometimes!...”Read full review »
