Ians being very creative since the last issue by putting preview pages for both stories, thats very nice =). Ok from the previews, Im wondering if in this we re going to see the other clans and how this battle with end?. Im really liking this Iron queen saga, plus Steve Butlers art is as great as alwais, as I said before, Im really liking his new artstyle now since his reintroducion on the comic. About the other preview Im very curious what the Fate of the Dark legion will be and if Liend Das decision will save or damn them all. Im really liking this little storyline as well since in last issue I alwais wondered if Lien Da and Kragok were good and loyal to each other or they ploted against each other even if they where blood siblings, then after seeing the issue I got my answer, I see Kragok could even kill his sister for power, he sure was a very bad Echidna he he. Well now I only have to wait untill the issue arrives at the comicshop were I go =)

Dimitri: Here. I trust you'll do the right thing, Lien-da. I trust you not to do that thing you just said.

... oh Dimitri ...

So yeah, for all of those who predicted Lien-Da screwing Dimitri over (which was hinted at a while ago), pat yourselves on the back.

Issue summary courtesy of Eggplant over at Bumbleking:

I got my copy! I swear my subscription is crazy, but I'm not complaining.

SPOLIERS OH NO

Post-preview, Sonic beats up the Iron Dominion while Tails drags Dr. Eggman (who is still asleep) back to New Mobotropolis. Back there, we get a little Ken/Sally moment before Tails comes in out of breath from dragging the crazy fat guy. (How the heck can MK lift Eggman ON HIS SHOULDERS??) MK takes Eggman to prison. Sally takes the active FF on a cavalry charge to help Sonic.

Meanwhile, IQ is angry because she's losing, and references Mount Stormtop. Jun Kun steps in and turns the tide of the battle, knocking Sonic down with his tremor mace and picking him up like a dead animal... then the FF come in the nick of time. (The FF team consists of Tails, Sally, Antoine and Amy at this point). Big fight scene happens, with a little (hearty laughter) mixed in. NICOLE has a weird distortion in her matrix once again, and it seems to be affecting her... Sally is concerned, but NICOLE insists she is fine.

The FF get over the shield into New Mobotropolis, safe from the Iron Dominion's wrath... and the ID suffer their 1st loss. And Regina is ticked off. A lot.

Sonic is then talking to Eggman in prison. Eggman thinks he is still in the Great War, and so we get some weirdness there. MK doesn't understand why Sonic is acting civil towards Eggman, and yada yada MK and Sonic friendship moment.

Final page... poor Snively. "Regina? Sweetie? Are you mad at me?" Regina responds with her GRRR face and "If you EVER want to enter my chambers again, you WILL find a way past that shield."

OOOOH BURN

Now, the big kahuna. Birthright. Here we go.

No sooner do we leave the preview than... well... I don't know how to say this but DIMITRI'S HEAD BUBBLE GETS BLOWN UP OMG

Don't freak out, he's alive, just a head, but alive. Three guesses as to who's responsible. Yeah, Lien-Da is just a tad power-mad. She installs the master chip into herself and proceeds to stick Dimitri's head into a box. (Messed up or what?) According to her, he "won't suffocate, his battery will just go dry in a few months." A few months? He better come back... Well, no-one's gonna find him now (oh yeah, he can't move either courtesy of the master chip).

Lien-Da convinces IQ that Dimitri has fled and then OH LAWD. LIEN-DA IS GRANDMASTER.

If I had the space, it would be worthy of another scream.

Fan Funnies is pretty bland this time around, but at least it's not plagiarized. Probably. Also there's a Gran Gordo Off Panel that may or may not cause you to facepalm, beware.

That pretty much covers it. Sth 207 has a kick-butt new cover, which is great. And I can do more scans of stuff if you need yet more spoilers.

Go to work, chums.

Here is proof. Now I'll step down so this thread can explode in peace.

Is that 207, or did I get jipped soemhow...?

No that's in 206.

Sorry for the confusion, but the covers lately have been getting recolored before being released, and so the person who wrote that up (Eggplant) was referring to the new StH cover that was shown in the back of this issue. This was what they were talking about.

No no. I somehow thought I read the whole issue, and then realized I totally didn't even finish it.

LMAO that's all I can say for this issue. Poor Snively, he never seems to get a chance. Now he's going to be banned from Queenie's bedchamber. Is it me or is the King just stupid for not noticing that?

Nicole, yeah I smell trouble for her. Sad
