The “Dials Go Up to 44” Contest!
Whew! What a fight! And what a kill! Who could have seen Wally jumping forward in time to kill Sonic after his powers wore off?
Oh wait. I did.
I guess with this and the Star Seed from MOTU I’m not 2-0 against G1.
Come on G1, step it up!
We’ll probably never get a kill like Wally fragging Sonic through time and space unless we get Superman killing Goku a third time by hitting him so hard all his multiversal selves feel it (he did that to Brainiac once). To celebrate such an awesome kill, I’m holding a contest.
The first person to source (issue and page number, or issue and context) all 37 (now 44!) of the murdered Sonics will get to have whatever match-up they like done as an episode of the FORBIDDEN Death Battle Prediction Blog. I’ll even do anime after 1985.
To help out the Sonic hunt, I’ll be updating the gallery below with identified Sonics.
Comment with your identified Sonics or email them to me at Capeworldcomics@gmail.com.
Also, HUGE thanks to 76SUP for gleaning all these Sonics from that one flash of motion.
UPDATE!
Thank you Frosty Toucan for not only identifying more Sonics but pointing out that our list was incomplete. There’s 44, not 37!
All Sonics Identified!
Congrats to the winner Frosty Toucan, and double congrats for winning the contest in under a week. Talk about Sonic speed!
May he have mercy on my soul.
