Sonic the Comic Online may have lost to Penny Arcade at the Eagle Award's, but this hasn't slowed it down - out now is the new #242, with extras including randomly-loaded variant covers, posters, and a never-before-seen Sonic script for the original draft of #223!

The two-part adventures Out Of Psyche, Out Of Mind and In Cold Blood end this issue, as Sonic battles surreal mindswaps and a truly bizarre invasion while Tails attempts a rematch against the sadistic Bleed - a foe that easily hospitalised him in Part One. (For new readers, the previous issue is available in the Back Issues section) And as two strips end, a 4-part Knuckles story begins as Mobius is threatened by Vichama, the God of Death, an enigmatic foe that’s been haunting the edges of the comic for many issues and who is definately living up to his title...
