This week the Patrons voted on us reading a Sonic Comic but not the Archie Comics one, the IDW one. It's written by Ian Flynn. The story is "Sonic fights a thing and runs into one of his friends and where is Doctor Eggman?" I just summaraized the comic.

We've made it to the Council of Elrond. This is perhaps the most lore dense chapter in all of Lord of the Rings. There's a lot to unpack. Better get comfortable, but don't worry.

Then he kills a bunch of people and blames her. Then he sends in a new Head Peacekeeper to menace our plucky heroes...
