And best of all, the colors are completely remastered to give the issues a brand new look!

Can the Freedom Fighters warn him before it's too late? "Countdown to Armageddon": a sabbatical in the woods to reflect on recent events goes from relaxing to taxing as friendships are strained and loyalties questioned, setting up the dramatic events yet to come in the "Endgame" storyline. Guest-starring Lupe and the Wolf Pack from the animated series! "Endgame: Taking the Fall": The most talked-about Sonic saga ever unfolds as King Acorn vows to finish the war with Robotnik and regain the kingdom... but could he have predicted the enormous cost? The "death of Princess Sally" sent shockwaves through Sonic fandom, and now you can relive the events leading up to this milestone event. "Sonic the Fugitive": Not only has Sonic suffered a great loss in the passing of Princess Sally, he's also been framed for her murder! Now he must battle friend and foe alike as he seeks the real killer to clear his name!
PLUS: The "Knuckles' Quest" saga continues, with the intrepid red echidna searching for answers to his origin and the mystery behind the Sword of Acorns.

Looks like most of us guessed right, NICOLE was the one who got taken over by Regina.
Can't Wait to see Uncle Fini Kick Knuckles to the Curn in SU#12....Er I mean I can't wait to see Knuckles get revenge for his father by beating the crud out of Finitevus, Yea, yea thats it......(Akward silence)
Second Shortest Partnership Ever.
I think Sonic/Shadow/Scourge only lasted three panels before they were trying to kill each other again.

These covers are positively green. D:
Nice to hear that Tracy Yardley! is back on pencils in the main book. Though, it's kinda odd that they're spliting duties again like in 201/202 during the middle of an arc again.
Well the Queen is sure having a big impact. Only a handful of heroes?
I await the Knux/Fini showdown...maybe. Last time Knux threw down (Super Sonic vs. Enerjak 2.0) it was kind of boring so maybe this will be more interesting.
Edited the main post with all the previews, and I also added Sonic Archives #12's text preview.
Knuckles looks like a cheerleader with those glowing pom poms
It sounds like the Iron Dominion story line is starting to get really good. I am not surprised that it looks like Nicole is in danger. People have been talking about how vunerable she and the cities' defenses are.
As for the Archives, I think they should have put the whole "Endgame" story together, it would make more sense.
I'm just hoping they use the Director's Cut of #50 for Archives #13, not the one that saw print.
They won't. They're going to use issue #50.
