The Final Victory and what follows

Issue 100 uses a single connected narrative that brings several characters together and ends Robotnik's long rule of Mobius. The following issues have a different kind of work to do: Mobius holds an election, displaced residents return home, and Sonic's allies find new roles in a less tightly controlled world. The shift allows shorter adventures and character stories to share space with the consequences of the larger victory.

    The Black Asteroid's explosion disables Robotnik's computer systems across Mobius. Sonic returns from the Special Zone as Super Sonic escapes, but the transformed hedgehog unexpectedly loses his power.

    Sonic parades the captured Robotnik through Metropolis as a powerless Super Sonic wanders the city without his memory. Grimer rescues Robotnik using a steam-powered antique robot.

    Sonic the Comic #101

    With Robotnik gone, Mobius holds elections for a new world leader. Sonic finds candidates Derek Wombat and Giles Baboon trading absurd promises on It's Your Shout, then later wrecking city streets in battle armour. He disables both suits and leaves them tied so they must co-operate to get free. On polling day neither wins a single vote, and Sonic urges each Zone to choose its own leader rather than crown one ruler for the planet.

    Sonic the Comic #102

    Freak weather hits Mobius in minutes: blizzards, heatwaves and floods. Sonic notices weather gerbil Windy Wallis never misses a forecast and confronts her at the studio. She built a weather machine for revenge after Robotnik fell and turns a storm on him. He kicks rainwater into the device, spawning a tornado that flings her out before the machine explodes.

    Amnesiac Super Sonic suffers nightmares of his former demonic self while lodging with Madge and her husband Arthur. Money worries and a row push him to leave so he can discover who he is. Madge slips him Arthur's beer money as he goes. Nearby, Amy and Johnny lose his faint energy trail and give up the search, missing him completely.

    At a Jade Hill Zone bridge opening, handyman Roger Bodge's shoddy span collapses and Sonic hauls him ashore. Tea at the Bodge house introduces a scrap Trooper rebuilt as a butler that attacks Sonic on sight. A collapsing shelf interrupts the fight; the robot then offers tea and self-destructs, levelling the house. Sonic advises Bodge not to do it himself next time.

    The Emerald Hill Folk finally come home as the Floating Island lifts away; Knuckles jokes that Sonic can retire, which unsettles him. Bored days later, Tails brings a Flicky and admits he understands its tweet of danger. Meanwhile Robotnik and Grimer test Flickies as organic batteries for new Badniks and plan to rule Flickies' Island. Sonic and Tails set off in the Tornado after the escaped bird.

    Issue 105 · 28 May–10 June 1997

    Sonic the Comic #105

    Sonic and Tails reach Flickies' Island and explore moss-covered ruins that should have been empty for centuries. Inside they find Robotnik, who unveils a glowing gold Mobius Ring — a portal from the Flickies' home dimension — and new Badniks powered by the birds as organic batteries. Sonic's first strikes barely dent the shells; he finally smashes one, but in that time Robotnik has seized Tails.

    Issue 106 · 11–24 June 1997

    Sonic the Comic #106

    With Tails captive, a Drakon Prosecutor steps through the Mobius Ring and demands who unlocked its secrets. Sonic frees Tails in the distraction, but the Prosecutor pins everyone with a gravity field and hauls Robotnik off for interrogation. Sonic's spin attack wins only a jolt of electricity before the pair vanish through the ring, which then dies. A scrap of armour left behind shows a face Sonic almost recognises.

    Issue 107 · 25 June–8 July 1997

    Sonic the Comic #107

    After rescuing a hooded stranger from Badniks, Sonic recounts the six-hundred-year-old legend of Bravehog, his ancestor who urged Mobius's divided tribes to stand together against King Leer. Captured while defending the Fox Tribe, Bravehog shamed Leer into revealing himself as a bully; the tribes united and drove the hyenas back. The stranger drops his hood — a hyena ashamed of that bloodline. Sonic tells him ancestors are not his fault, then jokes that Bravehog held the coolest-hedgehog crown only until he arrived.
