Sonic the Hedgehog[]
Child's Play is a complete story starring Sonic the Hedgehog. Written by Nigel Kitching, drawn by Richard Elson and lettered by Ellie de Ville, the story sees Sonic respond to an emergency in the Emerald Hill Zone. A group of kids have built a Badnik so that Sonic can show them his super speed, but things go wrong when the robot goes out of control and explodes.

Dream On is a complete story as part of Amy and Tekno the Canary's trip through the Ring of Eternity. Written by Lew Stringer, drawn by Carl Flint (although credited to Bob Corona and John M Burns) and lettered by Tom Frame, Amy and Tekno arrive in one man's nightmare. Dreaming of a horrid Christmas where snowmen are attacking and he can't get any presents, Amy convinces him that his family will be happy if he's happy.
Tails[]
Captain Christmas is a complete story starring Tails and the nefarious Captain Christmas. The story by Stringer, Corona and Elitta Fell sees Captain Christmas beat up the criminal Baa Humbug. The citizens are grateful and give Christmas all their presents, yet Tails discovers that Christmas is really an ex-Doctor Robotnik employee.
