Stories[]

Sonic the Hedgehog[]

Revenge is a complete story featuring the return of Nack the Weasel. Written by Nigel Kitching, drawn by Roberto Corona, coloured by Kev Hopgood and lettered by Ellie de Ville, the strip sees Nack turn bank robber in an attempt to fool old foe, Sonic. Nack gets the better of the hedgehog with his size-changing cartridges, but he didn't take into account Porker Lewis or the police.

Amy[]

Day One is an Amy Rose story (along with Tekno the Canary), as part as the Eternity Ring story arc. As part of their adventures, Amy and Tekno find themselves back on Mobius, which has apparently been invaded by dinosaurs in spacesuits and the entire population of the world has been killed! They soon discover that the Eternity Ring has brought them to see the creation of the planet, a reward for all their effort so far. The script was by Lew Stringer, drawing by Roberto Corona, colours by Nigel Dobbyn and lettering by Elitta Fell.

Tails[]

Rise and Fall is a complete Tails story, written by Lew Stringer, drawn by Mick McMahon and lettered by Elitta Fell. It's Bonfire Night on Mobius and the Green Hill Zone and a giant rocket has been launched to celebrate. Unfortunately, it's been sabotaged by Mad Ferret and is launched straight into the Statue of Freedom. The citizens are dejected and think Doctor Robotnik will now come back, but Tails gives a rousing speech to cheer everyone up and Ferret is locked away.

Reprint[]

The Sonic Terminator Part 4 is a Sonic story originally from Issue 27. In this part, Sonic and Amy are trapped on the Miracle Planet with Metallix.
