Nice job indeed! Especially with the added digital effects ^^
That "fat lady" line is new to me X3 What a nice expression you introduced to me here ^^
Clearly you showed the characters' key SA2 game personalities here ^^ Shadow being confused and Super Sonic being a little reckless and with that "never give up attitude"

"It ain't over till the fat lady sings!" xDD For some reason that line always never fails to make me start cracking up. *dear God, that sounded so cliche D:*
really nice touch-ups in the first few panels. *random plug* You know it's so wierd. In the game, it always seemed that the Biolizard was toothless o.O
Shadow and Sonic: *KICK* DON'T RUIN THE MOMENT!!
Me: ;3;

Instant fave! This is by far one of my favourite pages you've ever done! AWESOME!!!

Totally awesome, it's great how you emphasised Super Sonic's helplessness and desperation in that last panel ^^

God your work looks so much more awesome in color! I think Shadow's expression in the second panel is my fave on this page!

Amazing. *applauds* I love how Shadow looks in the secon panel.

man, the bio lizard is and allways has been ugly
my question is, why can I beat him easier on dreamcast then I can on gamecube?
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe cuz he was even more uglier on GC which made it a little more difficult for the super hedgies to beat him! XXD *chuckle*

The colors look amazing! The first panel is the best one. I mean, look at those sweet colors! XD I really like this page.
I got a bit confused when you said Bobbi used traditional media. You used Photoshop as well, right?. Not that I'm complaining; it makes the page even better!
π: 0 β©: 0
Whoa! O_____O;;
The effects you put onto that look really super cool! I think you did a great job using them. It really adds alot of... well, effect. LOL. You should maybe mention in the description that you did use some digital effects on the colors, though. XD
You did an awesome job with the different drawing techniques and perspectives on the page. Your drawn interpretation of the biolizard's attacks are very accurate. The shocked look on Shadow's face in that second panel is very powerful. He looks like he's really in a blank state of shock and disbelief that this isn't working. Haha, it's just like Sonic to stay confident and not give up until the very end. He always believes that there is a way, and he'll fight to find it. You gotta love his strong will. =]
I like the more light-hearted way of phrasing it that Sonic's thrown into the sentence.
FAT LADY: LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! *all glass shatters* *planets fall out of orbit*
SUPER SHADOW: There. You happy? She sang. =/
SUPER SONIC: ...It was a figure of speech, Shadow.
The variety in fonts and stuff really does help with the page. It makes the dialogue (and sounds) more powerful, and almost adds tone to them. Very nice usage! ^__^ Awesome as always!

No doubt that you two are gonna make this series uncomparable with anyother...

The power of Teamwork ^^
And cool, I notice that Bobbi coloured this page using Complentary (or Split-Complentary) Colours ^^... I think.. but it's all good ^^.
Its coming to the part where Sonic and Shadow ripe Biolizard's head off. (Well, that's what it looked like in Sonic X)

O_O Wow... So... Awesome... I just LOVE the display of emotions! So... Beautiful!!!
You and MTP make an awesome combination! And wow, the contrast between Shadow and Sonic's reactions is sure brillant! I'd write more, but... I'm out of words to describe just how AWESOME this is!!! Keep it up! *two thumbs up*

Another jaw-dropping amazing scene that combines both artist's greatest skills! Shadow's angst is quickly overcome(thank lordy XD )by Sonic's detirmination...the fight looks so intense,I think I'ms weatin' here! And of course Bobbi did a magnificent job on coloring,emphizing every last detail,making this page come alive!

;___;.........the final moments..........i've been waiting for your interpretation of this last scene for exactly two years now, Elson. Patience was worth it, i have to say. And i'm most curious about how you'll portray Shadow's tragic death...i hope we'll see a last flashback of Maria too. <3
The colouring looks really nice but i have to say a little critique about it. We see mostly warm colours (yellow, red) and to me it seems that they somehow take away the real tension of the whole scene. Especially on the previous page. If it was in b/w, there'd be lots of black, since they're in space, right? i think it'd have made a bit more effect. ;3
But still, you both are putting lots of effort in these last and most significant pages, and that makes me smile. ;D keep it up~

Oh! Thanks for the coloring tip, Alexa. ^___^
The first panel is actually green, heh. Anyhow, I colored the backgrounds like that kind of for effect. He put speedlines and whatnot in the background, so I kind of thought of it as one of those sort of "focus in" type of panels. Uhmmm... the best example I can make is with the MegaMan NT Warrior cartoon if you've ever seen that. Kinda compare it to when Lan loads the battle chips or something, LOL. I hope that made sense. XD

Mmhh... So desu ne Alexa. ^_^ I really hope not to dissapoint you on this one little sis'. /= ) *hugs* ^_^ Two years is a long wait and well I'm really glad to know that you've been as patient and eager to know the story just as much as I do.
My journal has listed the title to all the pages of the final 38. Go check them out if you must know a rough inpression of what each particular page has to offer.
Thank you very much for the critique - I've already decided to keep a lot of the middle parts of the final chapter in pure B+W for effect. ^_~ The colours will add life in the very final pages. 
I will do my best little sis', both Bobbi and I will do our best to get those pages inspiring even the most dedicated fans of Sonic there is in this world. ^_~
Oh and also! *pokes at you on the forehead softly* You keep up the remarkable works of art too! You're getting a lot of people hooked up and inspired by your style and stunning beauty with each masterpiece released - keep it up ne? ^_~ *thumbs up*

*after checking out the list of pages* o_o....38 pages...aaaa this makes me go 'flop' ;o; [that word has no meaning, really. I've read too much of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy....xD] anyway....certian titles made my heart drop. Can't wait...oh my GOD! o___o
Aaaah so most of the pages will be in b/w after all? ;D yes, good decision. x3 glad i could help a bit. n.n and i'm sure the last 6 pages will look most gargeous in colour. <33
Oh i'll keep up my stuff too, don't you worry! :3 am taking commissions now and trying to sell some prints. Money always comes in handy. xD <3

Absolutely remarkable work as always, Elson. 
The pacing of this particular page is absolutely spot on and I really felt involved when reading it. Panel 1 is simply amazing, the shot of the Biolizard/Final Hazard shooting the energy beam at SuperSonic and SuperShadow is absolutely fantastic, and the pyschadelic colours add much to the page to make the blast really feel powerful. The sparkles around the Biolizard makes it look like it is filled with power and the varying colour from orange in the initial blast itself is superb. The sound effect of its roar which extends across the panel alongside the blast gives it extra 'oomph', and I like how it breaks through the speach bubble to make it seem all the more powerful.
Panel 2 is just brilliant and definitely one of my favorites. I love the whole feeling of when a character is about to be engulfed by a blast, and you did this here perfectly. The pink lights and tones of shading around SuperShadow look absolutely fantastic, and his expression adds to the entire tension even more. It's like everything's just frozen, especially as he speaks those words in his mind... as if everything really is lost. Dramatic stuff.
Panel 3 is great and SuperSonic's rescue is done very well, and SuperShadow's expression helps to reaffirm this, with his surprised look and the "!!" speech bubble. SuperSonic determined expression is also very good, as it also helps to reaffirm that the Biolizard's blast is very powerful... his look of deterimnation and concentration are great but there's also that of him struggling to keep it up... and why he later shouts 'Hurry!' Brilliant stuff. The colouring is beautiful as always, with the characters done superbly and the nergy blast looking amazing. The sparkles around in space are also done superbly and definitely help add to the effect.
Panel 4 helps continue the tradition of showing SuperSonic looking as though he's struggling, which is great... he definitely looks as though he can't hold on much longer. I love the facial features here, half closed eyes to show his energy running out, and the large open mouth to show the force of his shouting. Brilliant work and the lighting is absolutely stunning.
Panel 5 rounds off the page very well to show what the target must be. I like the fact tha there are no distinctive outlines along the Biolizard here... he seems more realistic and all the more threatening because of it, and also because the light of his attack is drowning it out. The colouring is extremely well done as well and in all it just looks remarkable.
Seriously dude, I'm like this

Awww, you're working together to come up with some really awesome stuff!!! That's really cool!!! I wish I had someone to help me with my art and help get it done quicker.
The art is awesome. Super Sonic looks great, and he looks really raging! The colouring, hats off to Bobbi, she's really outdone herself on your Fancomic, she adds that final quality to it, and it's a great idea. She's good at colouring, and she loves you, so she's happy to do it, and it helps you! Win win!
Keep it up Elson!!! I'll be backing you. ^_^

*eyes water* I can't draw comics even if my life depended on it.. *cries*

Yet again a nother succesful work there.
The color effects are really great, especially whae the Final Hazard shoots out the giant laser.
I wonder how will Sonic and Shadow get out of this one.
By the way, how long will the fight with Final Hazard be, anyway?

Trample Mortals and despair!
Doom has come to this world!

The action and the amazing amount of work on this comic always seems to surprise me somehow.

Shadow would totally take advantage of this situation and start shooting at Sonic......but the Genesis would be nothing without the hedge.........there would only be : Bare Knuckle! rawrgh!
π: 0 β©: 1
LMAO! You played that series too? Bare Knuckle 1,2 and 3 were totally old school and cool. *thumbs up* My fav's Axel. ^^ Anyway as for Shadow taking advantage of this situation and blowin' away Sonic, it ain't my kind of stuff but you're entitled to your opinion. ^^
