Reprinted stories

  1. Tails · The Morbidden Hunt, Part 4 #

    Queen Vulpecula lets the foxes go only to hunt them again; Prince Catalus then turns on them himself. Tails flies Jimmy and Jilly to a goblin ship, returns them home, and steps back through the portal to Mobius, where Sonic simply puts him back to work.

    First appeared in issue 31.

  2. Tails · Hero of Mobius #

    Sonic boasts of Badnik-bashing while needling Tails for another vanishing act; the fox cannot admit why he was missing. Alone, Tails recalls letters home painting himself as Mobius's champion and fluke wins against Trogg that keep the Enchanter Kings summoning him. Johnny offers a Hill Top Badnik fight Tails longs to join, but a Nameless Zone portal snatches him away; Sonic shrugs and leaves without him, as usual.

    First appeared in issue 42.

  3. Sonic the Hedgehog · Metamorphia #

    A young bear lures Sonic to the Grim Zone claiming a monster is terrorising her home, then reveals herself as the shapeshifter Metamorphia working for Robotnik. She traps him in a Retro Block that reverses force, but he escapes by doing nothing; when she later impersonates Tails, Sonic sees through the act and she falls into the Zone's fire, only to crawl out vowing revenge.

    First appeared in issue 30.
