Sonic on Shanazar

The Shanazar run puts Sonic in an unfamiliar world of imperial guards, magic and uneasy alliances. A man apparently restored to Doctor Kintobor's kindly identity complicates Sonic's view of Robotnik. The journey then ranges from the Mystic Mountain and a desert crossing to a tower, an escape and a town shaken by an earthquake. These issues give the lead strip a connected setting whose problems cannot all be solved by speed.
