Sonic the Hedgehog[]
Secret of the Tower is a complete story by Nigel Kitching and Ellie de Ville. Still on the run from Princess Kupacious, Sonic has bumped into Kassim, a thief who convinces Sonic that his lover, Sapphire, is locked in a tall, marble tower. Sonic helps him climb the palace but soon learns that "Sapphire" is a bunch of valuable gems that then turn into a monster guard. The pair escape while they still can, but Sonic isn't prepared to go back a second time.
Amy Rose[]
Gangster Trap is a 2-part story written by Lew Stringer, drawn by Roberto Corona, coloured by John M Burns and lettered by Elitta Fell. Coming to the end of their journeys through the Ring of Eternity, Amy and Tekno the Canary have been captured by Max Gamble, with the lizard revealing he followed the girls into the Ring when on the run from police in the Snowcap Mountain Zone. The heroes are about to be pushed out to sea in a cemented barrel, but the barrels disappear and Amy has discovered the planet to be a Wish World, where thoughts become reality. A full battle erupts between Gamble's mooks and the girl's own superheroes, before Gamble is defeated and taken back to Mobius.
