Issue overview

Sonic and Amy enter a New Zone just before Bonfire Night, only to find themselves apparently back in Emerald Hill. Mirror Image makes the familiar surroundings the source of its unease.

Original stories

  1. Sonic the Hedgehog · Mirror Image #

    A portal sends Sonic and Amy to a Mirror Zone where their counterparts are hunted by the evil King Sonic, while the local Tails and Amy mistake them for enemies. Sonic impersonates the tyrant long enough to order his robot guards to self-destruct, but King Sonic arrives and proves a dangerous match for him. The villain's transformation into a calm, benevolent Super Sonic ends the conflict, allowing the visitors to return home for their own Bonfire Night.

    Script: Lew Stringer · Art: Richard Elson · Letters: Ellie de Ville

Reprinted stories

  1. Knuckles · The Ghost Ship, Part 3 #

    Tantaror blast energy from their fingers and scatter the Sky Pirates; Plunder, Knuckles, Filch and Simpson flee to a hold packed with chained Mobian slaves who have given up hope. Knuckles wants a last stand, but Plunder works the Idol until white light dumps them on a pier at Scourge Bay - a teleport, and Plunder's ticket to becoming Mobius's most feared pirate.

    First appeared in issue 76.

  2. 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.

    First appeared in issue 138.

  3. Sonic the Hedgehog · Beware Predicto! #

    Grimer's Predicto Trooper, stuffed with Freedom Fighter dossiers, finds Sonic's team on the Floating Island and floors them one by one, even yanking Knuckles from underground. Cornered, Sonic simply gives up—an impossible move that overloads Predicto into blowing itself apart, proving the hedgehog never meant to quit.

    First appeared in issue 54.
