Reprinted stories

  1. Knuckles · Carnival Night Conspiracy, Part 4 #

    Safe after the rollercoaster, Knuckles sits in a new office and wants to leave to fight Robotnik; the Marxio Brothers refuse. Chicio blurts that they work for the doctor, so the trio switch their machine to combat mode. The fight goes their way and Knuckles is left looking dead.

    First appeared in issue 42.

  2. Tails! · Fox on the Run, Part 1 #

    On an afternoon stroll through Spring Flower Zone, Tails swats three Buzzers and frees the animals inside; two leave, but lost mouse Tristram - everyone calls him Tantrum - needs escorting home to Metropolis Zone. Bounty hunter Fleabyte corners them for a Robotnik reward, his revolver jams, and he switches to a laser blaster. Tails stalls while Tantrum runs, then dives after the mouse when he tumbles into a deep pot-hole.

    First appeared in issue 73.

  3. Sonic the Hedgehog · The Big Con #

    Mobians are herded into Robotnikcon One in Chemical Plant Zone, where Troopers push 'loyal' fans toward a hall that secretly converts them into Badnik batteries. Sonic poses as a penguin in the queue, wrecks the guards, and topples a giant Robotnik statue onto the creation plant while Porker keeps civilians clear. Robotnik arrives expecting an army and finds only rubble and a welcome board rewritten as Sonic-con 1.

    First appeared in issue 46.
