Original stories
Sonic · Roots, Part 4 #
Sonic takes on the mind-controlled Chaotix, Blockhead Bill and Society Max, defeating the group before confronting Root. The encounter reveals that the swamp creature's intimidating form is not the whole truth about its identity.
Script: Nigel Kitching · B&W art: Richard Elson · Colour: Nigel Kitching · Letters: Ellie de Ville
Tails · Doctor Genius #
Jealous of Tails's heroic reputation, Doctor Genius builds a force field and uses it to make a supposedly unstoppable bank robbery. It repels Tails, gunfire and even the bank's walls, but also prevents Genius picking up the money; switching it off gives Tails the opening to knock him out, leaving the would-be mastermind to recount the failure from prison.
Script: Lew Stringer · Art: Mick McMahon · Letters: Gordon Robson
Reprinted in issue 168.
Knuckles · The Take-Over, Part 4 #
Ms Alpha, Mr Beta, Mr Gamma and Mr Delta make their final stand against Knuckles and apparently overpower him. Porker and the Guardian Robots are left to handle the intruders, bringing the last original Knuckles adventure in the comic's print run to its close.
