Here it is, folks: the highest-rated game to ever grace StC's Review Zone
RE-ENTER these assholes, in their first ever solo strip!Also, the "Shut up, Charmy" count is now at 5
Tails Gets Owned count is now at 72
For anybody wondering about Tails being so anti-gun all of a sudden, it's most likely a reaction to the Dunblane massacre
ENTER Max Gamble and his ever-changing skull!
TGO: 75 (I forgot to count Tails getting captured twice in the same page)Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marks_%26_Spencer
EXIT Brutus for the most part
Fun fact: this was the first issue of StC that I read from cover to cover (I have some vague memories of reading snippets of the second Golden Axe story arc and Captain Plunder's first solo story) so I guess you can blame/thank this issue for starting it all.
TGO: 76
TGO: 77
TGO: 78
TGO: 79
EXIT Metamorphia for the most part. Bit of an anti-climax for a villain that had so much narrative potential, but after she got her powers taken away for plot reasons it's not like she had much going for her.
RE-ENTER this not-so happy chappy. You may recall that he last got his own solo story back in № 41
EXIT our boi, at least in any comics. This is also the very last non-Sonic, non-Decap Attack back-up story.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystic_Meg
Are Brutus and Metamorphia truly gone for good? Will Knuckles find out what's going on? Will Sonic regain the strength will to give a damn about whatever bullshit he's been thrust into?For these answers and more, join me on Friday for more StC!

Fleabyte is a neat character, but I wonder why they didnt just use Fang. Did he ever show up in this series?Did they also kill the Shining Force comic after the first issue? I liked the concept.
>>12379558He started out as a member of Chaotix, but sold them out to the Brotherhood of Metallix. iirc at this point he was imprisoned somewhere in The Special Zone. I don't think he and Fleabyte ever crossed paths, but they might've done in Sonic the Comic Online (I do remember Nack was given the role of Tails' nemesis in StCO for a hot minute, but that got lost in the shuffle)
i didn't read all of the pages but i skimmed through quite a few. very soulful. i would i loved to have a subscription to this as a kid.
>>12379558>>12379924And yes, Shining Force got axed after the first story arc. I guess setting it after the games AND offing Zeon made the writers go "... fuck, what do we do now?"
>>12380063I really liked the idea of the whole fantasy kingdom built on ruins of a modern, advanced world. I hadnt played the games in decades and actually had to go check if that was the plot of them since it felt like a very jap thing to do.
>UK sonic comicReally should get around to reading this, I mean its automatically better than most the shit penders wrote or drawn.Super sonic being a massive cunt powertripping is a good idea. Sega should have went this route slowly making it so he learns to control his power but once he reaches his limit. He goes full on RAEG mode no matter what.
