## Trivia

* This issue marks the return of Ian Flynn as the writer of IDW Sonic sereies.
* Sonic calls Dr. Eggman "Baldy McNosehair", which is a nickname he was first given in *Sonic Colors*.
* Eggman yelling "***That's not funny! It's never been funny! It's never going to be funny!***" is a reference to the web series *DragonBall Z Abridged*, specifically the video *DragonBall Z KAI Abridged Parody: Episode 2*. When Krillin tries to dub Vegeta, Gohan, and himself as "Team Three Star", Vegeta yells "*That's not funny! It's never been funny! It's never gonna be funny!*".
