I've been searching high and low for any site out there that has detailed summaries of older issues, but I'm not looking for a "review,"
where whoever is writing the piece rates what they did or didn't like about the story or throws in their own commentary about the events in the stories. I
have found Silver Starr's summaries on her site (here) which is exactly what I'm looking for, actually. However, that site, while still being updated
regularly, is only current through issue #68 as of earlier today. Those summaries are detailed, go scene by scene and describes everything that happened in the
story down to even some of the smallest details and does not clutter up the summary with personal commentary which, while sometimes entertaining, are at the
end of the day only one person's opinion, and everyone's opinion is different than everyone else's. I really just want to find a site that just
states what happened in the issue and that's it. Or at least if it is a review, there's a section of the review that gives detailed summaries before
launching into the writer's own opinions of what happened in the story. I lost touch with the entire series around the time the Knuckles comic was canceled
and haven't actually read the issues since, although I've been following the series ever since, lurking on the boards and am fairly aware of what
I've missed, though all of my information is coming from overviews I've read on Sonic HQ's brief summaries, Wikipedia or the Mobius Encyclopaedia.
For a few weeks now, I've been searching for any site that can give me the details of what happened in each issue (Sonic, Knuckles, the various 48-page specials and mini-series. Heck, even Sonic X, which I know little to nothing about, actually) of this series (that are still currently being updated and not years behind!) and have had very little luck outside of finding Silver Starr's site. Anything else I have found has either been some brief synopses that don't give information on a lot of the smaller details in a story or have not been updated in months or even years.
The reason why I'm anti-reviews is simply because whether or not the person liked the story affects how they tell what happened in the story, so while some reviewers are fairly detailed in explaining what happened, they're more concerned with explaining what they did or didn't like and why, instead of focusing on explaining just what happened in the story. Since I actually did miss over 100 issues of this series and would be relying on summaries to tell me what I've missed, I don't really want to sort through "This part was awesome because of this reason" or "That part sucked because of that reason." Nothing personal against people who review the stories, I'd just like to be able to have a straight-forward summary that is more detailed than a brief paragraph somewhere.
Does anybody know of a site that I just haven't stumbled across yet that is current and has summaries dating back to at least #65 or #70? That is the period where I started losing interest at the time, and unfortunately for me, that's all the farther Silver Starr's incredible summaries are at this moment, though I have been eagerly anticipating updates since I found it. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
