Kikizo just sent me a link to their Sonic Heroes Hand-On: All-Revealed article, which features a ton of new screens, videos, and info. Many stages and bosses are revealed here, so those who want to be surprised may not want to read it.

Bazil at the SonicAnime.net forums has the entire Sonic Heroes soundtrack for download. Keep in mind that the track names listed at this link may contain spoilers.

The webmaster of http://www.johnnygioeli.com/ has made some MP3s of the full versions of the Sonic Heroes themes. You can get them on the Sonic Heroes page.

The official Japanese Sonic Heroes site has updated with some new screenshots, boss and enemy info, 2 new character CGs, and some voice clips on their characters page.

IMO, Sonic, Tails, and Charmy sound better in English, and Omega, Amy, Cream, Big, and especially Rouge sound better in Japanese. Knuckles, Shadow, Vector, and Espio are pretty even.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #136

Written by Romy Chacon and Ken Penders, art by Ron Lim, Jim Amash, Steven Butler and Nelson Ribeiro.

"The Infiltrator." Sonic looks forward to a well-needed rest after a strenuous, nerve-racking adventure, but gets anything but rest. As he sleeps, his life is in grave danger, and his father, Jules Hedgehog, does what any father would -- at a heavy price. "Knuckles in "Patience." Knuckles decides to disobey the King and take matters into his own hands by freeing Angel Island on his own. Will his lack of patience be his own downfall? "Girl Talk." The latest in a series of tales depicting "Mobius: 25 Years Later" finds Queen Sally and Julie-Su trying to figure out a way for their husbands and kids to get along during an upcoming visit. Easier said than done!

The second annual Sonic Comic Convention (SCC or SVTcc as it's commonly called) will take place December 24th, 2003 - less than TWO days away!

"We promised to put on a better show, and I think that's what we're going to do!"

With the re-schedulings that delayed the convention for more than three months, SCC looks like it's finally ready to show it's pretty self off at an end-of-year holiday treat! The future of SCC after 2003 seems secure, however it will be something rather different in 2004.
