CONTROL ZONE

Hey Boomers!

I hope nobody reading this is of a nervous disposition, because this sizzling issue may just be too hot to handle! With the brand new game Sonic Heroes arriving this week, was there ever any doubt that the UK’s Sega comic would be ready to give you the full scoop? 

Don’t worry, though: you don’t need a videogame console for high-speed action. This issue STC has two more thrilling tales from the action heroes of Mobius: in the conclusion of his two-part story, Sonic is at the mercy of The Syndicate, while Knuckles experiences Trouble In Paradise as things go from bad to worse on the Floating Island. Keep an eye out for some old and new faces popping up.

Let’s face it, Boomers: you’ve never had it so good! Not until next issue, anyway…

DATA ZONE
