According to Diamond Comics, Archie's Sonic X #7 is on sale in comic shops as of yesterday.

Good way to start the new month, another decent update at Sonic's japanese hangout. It's way better now it's in html, IMO. Latest person added to the characters section was Super Sonic. I was longing for Metal Sonic myself (new non-CG artwork!), but still, cool - finally some official Super Sonic art outside of the tiny icons in Shuffle.

Something interesting that's also new is what appears to be a poll that asks about, presumably, your favourite and least favourite characters. There's a lot of chars there, including Fang, Bean, Bark, Mighty and even Ray. No Metal Knuckles or Tails Doll, though.

I can only read katakana, which means I can only pick up the words 'character', 'comment' and the names of everyone included in the poll. It'd be good if we had someone good in japanese to translate so that the rest of us could participate. It might contribute to character inclusion/exclusion in the games, or it may affect the order of new character profiles on Sonic Channel (good good, for Metal and 'rare' characters). Anyone able to help or know someone else that could?

Oh, some decent new artwork in the fanart section, as well.
