Original stories

  1. Sonic the Hedgehog · Disaster! Part 1 #

    Robotnik launches Death Egg II with the Master Emerald aboard while Sonic and Knuckles watch Sky Sanctuary crumble under their feet. He gloats that without the Emerald the Floating Island will fall onto Mobius, then plans to erase Emerald Hill into his 'Completely and Utterly Destroyed Zone'. They leap from a collapsing spiral — Sonic riding Knuckles' glide — dodge EggRobo fire, and Sonic forces a path aboard the rising Death Egg.

    Script: Nigel Kitching · Art: Richard Elson · Letters: Elitta Fell

    Reprinted in issue 165.

  2. Shinobi · Power Of The Elements, Part 5 #

    Kotomi-sensei takes a bullet yet coolly draws it out and heals himself, then the Roofworlders seize the Yakuza and ring the Four Elements. The next assault still opens badly when Air brings Musashi down. Elemental war over the rooftops is far from finished.

    Script: Alan McKenzie · Art: Jon Haward · Letters: Tom Frame

  3. Tails in · Zonerunner & The Big Freeze, Part 4 #

    Pinned by Nutzan Bolt's living-ice body, Tails keeps saying Sonic's name until steam and fury melt the robot's icy shell and his head clatters free. Mad with spite, Nutzan sinks into melting chemical ice to drown and poison the whole Zone — then vanishes beneath it. Sab and Sol revive; Tails' microputer runs an instant-freeze program that stabilises the weather, and the Zonerunner leaves Chemical Plant a hero.

    Script: Mark Eyles · Art: Roberto Corona, Brian Williamson · Letters: Steve Potter

    Reprinted in issue 167.

  4. Sonic's World · Face from the Past, Part 1 #

    Grimer's brown hedgehog is meant to smash the Freedom Fighters from inside. Jungle Zone rescuees include 'Tonic', who claims brotherhood; Sonic says no, Amy objects, Tails pursues. A clawed arm and a call to Robotnik unmask Metamorphia.

    Script: Lew Stringer · Art: Gary Andrews · Letters: Elitta Fell

    Reprinted in issue 160.
