Strips[]
Sonic the Hedgehog[]
No Escape is a 2-part story by Nigel Kitching, Richard Elson and Ellie de Ville. After his recent troubles, Sonic is wanted for crimes against Shanazar. Worse still, he needs to break into Princess Kupacious' palace to grab a Transportation Belt. Inside, Robotnik easily recognises his foe (hidden under a cloak) and arrests him. In a cell especially designed by Grimer, Sonic manages to grab the keys to his escape without his captor even noticing.
Amy Rose[]
Full Circle is the final Amy story in the print comic. Written by Lew Stringer, drawn by Roberto Corona, coloured by John M Burns and lettered by Elitta Fell, the story sees Amy Rose and Tekno the Canary drag Max Gamble back to Mobius. However, Fabian Vane is about to be sent through the Ring of Eternity by his "fan club" and a fight breaks out, breaking the Ring. With a little hard work, the Ring is put back together.
Features[]
The theme of this issue's Graphic Zone is "Miles (Tails) Prower". Printed pictures of the fox (plus one ransom note) won the artists a Sonic the Hedgehog watch.
