  • STC is back!

    Ten years ago today, Sonic the Comic was launched. Since then we were thrilled by its continuing adventures until it recently disappeared...

    But no longer!

    Sonic the Comic: Issue 224 http://www.sonicthecomic.tk

    Sonic the Comic 184

    The last issue of "Sonic the Comic" to feature an original story is now on sale. It will be available until 11 July 2000. This is effectively the death of the comic. Future stories will feature an original cover by Richard Elson, accompanied by reprint material selected by current Managing Editor Steve MacManus.

    COVER (features spoiler): http://freespace.virgin.net/ed.reynolds/stc/stc184a.jpg

    POINT OF NO RETURN
    Script: Nigel Kitching
    Art: Richard Elson
    Lettering: Ellie De Ville

    Robotnik has lured the terrible Chaos creature to his mountain retreat and gathered the Chaos Emeralds allowing him to grow into the almighty Perfect Chaos. Despite the pleas of assistant Grimer, it is clear that Robotnik has NO PLAN - he has gone completely insane and believes he is setting up the end of the world. He may be right. Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and Amy seemed to be at the mercy of Perfect Chaos when Super Sonic and Ebony arrived. A far cry from his days as a world-destroying demon of incredible Chaos energy, Super Sonic's energy is now almost up and he needs the Chaos Emeralds to regenerate. He leaps into Perfect Chaos, a clash of the Chaos creatures that need the Chaos Energy to survive. PICK UP THE LATEST ISSUE FOR THE STUNNING CONCLUSION! Not to mention some BIG surprises!
