Reprinted stories

  1. Knuckles · Carnival Night Conspiracy, Part 6 #

    Knuckles clears the last Badniks with a spinning punch, then ignores Grouchio's threats and slams the fault line beneath Carnival Night Zone. Residual Chaos Emerald power briefly holds the Zone aloft before it plunges onto Emerald Hill below, delighting a boy whose mum had refused him a visit. The Marxio Brothers crawl from the wreck keen to flee Robotnik's wrath, while Knuckles sends the waiting guests off his island.

    First appeared in issue 44.

  2. Tails! · Fox on the Run, Part 3 #

    Fleabyte's heat scanner falters in the warmth as Tails and Tantrum plummet toward lava too tired to fly. Grabber Badniks rescue them for dinner, bicker over the menu, and lose their meal; the pair find a surface chute, Tantrum stamps a hidden button, and crushing walls force a desperate upward flight. They clear the shaft - straight into Fleabyte's oversized gun.

    First appeared in issue 75.

  3. Sonic the Hedgehog · The Great Escape! Part 2 #

    Spotted inside a Metropolis Zone Badnik Processing Plant, the Freedom Fighters drop any pretence of stealth and fight their way free. Sonic, Johnny and Amy clear the Trooper guards while Porker and Tails ready an escape route through a side door. Sonic lashes the Crocodile Overseer with the villain's own whip, then herds the captive Emerald Hill folk into the waiting room. With everyone packed inside, the Star Post capsule launches them clear of the plant.

    First appeared in issue 56.
