Sonic the Comic #204

Reprinted stories

1. Sonic the Hedgehog · Running Wild, Part 3 #

   Cloaked and broken, Sonic nurses a cola in Spike's Place until bounty hunters unmask him and rage flips him Super again, flattening the bar. The Freedom Fighters - alive, having flown the biplane by remote - unveil a Star Post; Amy and the Kintobor Computer yank Super inside and peel the emerald fury off blue Sonic. Kintobor hints the demon may now stalk the Special Zone, but Sonic can only thank the friends who risked everything.

   First appeared in issue 82.

2. Knuckles · Village of the Damned, Part 1 #

   Hauling the document chest through night forest, Knuckles finds The Green Man tavern still lit - patrons glare, yet the chicken landlord presses the best room and finest beer. A grey goat murmurs that this is the one. Screams outside prove no owl: torch-bearing regulars parade a sheep girl bound to a standing stone.

   First appeared in issue 84.

3. Sonic's World · A New Hope #

   Without Sonic the Freedom Fighters buckle under a Badnik swarm: a Batbrain downs Tails and a Balkiry hauls Amy beyond Johnny's javelin. Shortfuse blasts the flyer, catches Amy mid-fall and helps clear the rest. Asked to join, the loner Cybernik agrees for as long as it takes to topple Robotnik.

   First appeared in issue 89.

4. Sonic's World · Revolution, Part 2 #

   Brutus's Badniks storm Citadel Robotnik while Sonic rises from the blaster hit and joins Shortfuse the Cybernik to free Amy and Johnny. Inside, Robotnik's brain self-destruct fails - Brutus disabled it weeks ago - until Sonic and Shortfuse crash through the window and Robotnik flees with Grimer; Brutus then reveals his armour is Megatal too and drives Shortfuse through the floor. Recruits parade outside: Amy and Johnny, remade as Badniks.

   First appeared in issue 80.

5. Captain Plunder · The Spice Maidens, Part 1 #

   In Scourge Bay, Captain Plunder tries to recruit with a forged treasure map whose ink is still wet. Simpson clobbers him instead of the recruit. Queen Zorabel interrupts to push her daughters onto his crew, and they find the Spice Maidens mid-brawl in The Pink Parrot.

   First appeared in issue 103.
