Sonic the Comic has reached its fifteen anniversary - as well as Sonic the Comic Online's 5th and Nigel Kitching's birthday! To celebrate, Sonic the Comic Online has released a special with multiple posters, a new strip and randomly-loading variant covers.

Meanwhile, grand old Humes Nigel Kitching, Richard Elson, Nigel Dobbyn and Mick McMahon are currently involved in the independent title Bulletproof. Elson's art also appears in this week's Judge Dredd strip in 2000AD (and regularly in 2000AD), while Lew Stringer continues working for Viz, Toxic! and Image's Elephantmen. Former script Hume Mark Millar and editor Andy Diggle... well, you can those ones out for yourself, boomers!

Due to public vote, fancomic Sonic the Comic Online is currently one of the five successful nominations for Favourite Web-Based Comic in this year's Eagle Awards. The winners for the awards will be chosen by a second public vote which ends on May 11th, and will be announced at the Bristol Comic Expo.

This is the first industry-wide award in Britain to have its nominations chosen by public vote since the Diamond National Comics Award 2004, where STC-O came second, losing out to the officially licensed The Matrix Comics.

The late Tom Frame, who lettered the original Sonic the Comic along with a celebrated run on 2000AD, has been nominated for Favourite Letterer and the Roll of Honour.
