Sonic the Comic #206

Reprinted stories

1. Sonic the Hedgehog · Heroes & Villains, Part 2 #

   Lieutenant Furor grills Sonic over Chaotix while the crew argue at satellite HQ - Omni cannot pierce the station's barrier. Lord Sidewinder posts bail, escorts Sonic to his ancestral pile, and unveils Lightmare, Mr Fry and Bio-Hazard. Super Sonic was the price of freedom: the demon shreds the mansion, swats the gang, shrugs off Sonic's spin and vows to destroy the blue half that once held him.

   First appeared in issue 85.

2. Knuckles · Village of the Damned, Part 3 #

   Knuckles rolls the burning wicker egg downhill into the river, snatches Mesmer's staff mid-glide and snaps the village free of its trance. The Green Man's landlord peels off his mask - Robotnik, testing whether Mesmer could hypnotise all Mobius. With no lawful prison for a planetary tyrant and no will to kill, Knuckles walks away to mocking laughter.

   First appeared in issue 86.

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

   Badnik Amy's wrist-bolts race at Sonic until his slipstream flings them home and cracks her shell free. Street-side, War-Armoured Robotnik and Brutus batter each other until liquid nitrogen freezes the traitor solid and one punch scatters the ice. Days later Robotnik broadcasts that Mobius is his forever; Sonic, watching, mutters never to say forever.

   First appeared in issue 82.

4. Captain Plunder · Captain Plunder and the Spice Maidens, Part 3 #

   Zorabel finally produces her map, which points not to the Akotek Treasure but to Krakiota the sea serpent at Skull Rock, who knows every secret on Mobius. The dread beast proves tiny enough to sit on Plunder's palm and will answer only three questions. Plunder wastes two; Zorabel asks whether he knows where the treasure is hidden, and he answers yes — then stops. Facing Simpson's cooking pot, Krakiota starts thinking about bending the rules.

   First appeared in issue 105.

5. Tails · Grounded #

   Tails hunts a Spider-Moth Badnik in Aquatic Ruin Zone and takes webbing across both tails, grounding him while fire bombs and Brutus-boasting chase him through the trees. A vine-bent palm catapults him into the moth and then into the lake, where a Masher's teeth finally cut the web. Free to fly again, he races for Metropolis to warn Sonic that Commander Brutus is planning a revolution.

   First appeared in issue 79.
