Features[]
The Data Zone is the first port of call for all new Boomers, reminding older readers of the current stories. Heroes Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are detailed, as well as villains Doctor Robotnik and Grimer. Images used continue to include the Sega version of Tails and the Knuckles from the ancient past.
This issue's Graphic Zone went by the theme of August Heroes, otherwise known as a generic collection of hero-related pictures. Editorial comments continue to be ridiculous; Knuckles is said to be "having a snack" when he's doing no such thing while a dynamic group picture of 5 of the heroes is regarded as them "going for a jog". Nevertheless, all published pictures won the artists a Sonic the Hedgehog watch.
