Reading guide 01 · 5 issues
Sonic's origin and Robotnik's Mobius
The first issue begins with Sonic already fighting Robotnik's Badniks. Issue 7 introduces the unpredictable Super Sonic, while issue 8 turns back to the experiments of Doctor Ovi Kintobor: the accident that makes Sonic blue also changes Kintobor into Robotnik. Sonic's return from the Special Zone in issue 9 reveals how far the dictator has tightened his grip on Emerald Hill. Issue 10 sends residents to forced labour in Robotnik's Chemical Plant. Together these stories establish a world with a past, an occupying regime and a hero whose greatest power carries its own danger.
