AGENCY
AGENCY is a Massive Multiplayer Crossover Web Comic created by Deviant ART artist JediAnnSolo and hosted on Drunk Duck. The story centers on Sandy Cheeks and Shadow the Hedgehog, who have been hired by the Pink Panther and Krystal McCloud. Sandy and Shadow have been given the task of finding out who kidnapped Fox and Marcus McCloud and hijacked the Star Fox team's submarine, the Blue Marine. Much of the humor comes from the conflicting aspects of Shadow's stoicism and Sandy's enthusiasm.
