The thing that makes me so confused is they tried to do two things at once, didn't bother making either story point interesting and made both of those plot points so worthless that the entire issue has no reason to even exist in the structure it's in. If they wanted a Sonic & Tails vs. Shadow & Rouge fight they could have made that the entire issue and made it a decent fight scene with more development. If they wanted the OC to be more intriguing and a better plot hook then they shouldn't have just revealed him at the end of the issue like they did, at least save that for early next issue so there's something for the audience to be hooked on.
Then the switch of focus to Eggman in the last frame was also a showcase of how useless all of it was because they could have instead just started the issue off literally right off the last panel and made a story that actually went somewhere.
