CONTROL ZONE

Hey Boomers!

Where has everyone’s favourite comic been? Boomers, never let it be said that those troublesome humes can run the show without me, as they found out when they played a prank that went wrong at their April Fools’ “Fake Christmas” Party. Check it out in my exclusive movie. Droids and humes of a sensitive disposition, steer clear! Don’t worry, I’m all back together now and ready for action.

But while the humes were wondering who was going to order their cheese and pickle sandwiches, Sonic the Comic Online was awarded second place on the best online comic category in the Diamond National Comics Awards — as voted for by comic guys and ‘bots around the world. Me and the rest of the humes would like to thank everyone who voted.

All right, I know you want to know what’s going on! First up, it’s a stroll down memory lane for Sonic and his friends as he visits the ruins of the Death Egg. Meanwhile, our two-part Knuckles story concludes in style. Plus there’s a selection of splendid pin-ups for you.

Enjoy the summer, Boomers, and remember: stay cool!
