The sun is shining, the days are longer, it’s raining less- summer is on the way! But don’t think you have to wait until then because STC is heating up already!

Yes, Boomers, you did see that cover correctly. Just two issues after their last fight, Sonic and Shadow are at it again! It’s high-speed action over in Two Roads Diverged and Knuckles punches his way back into the game too! Meanwhile, Tails and Morain say they want a revolution as the Nameless Zone resistance takes on the Goblin’s new steam engine in Journey To The Crossroads. Has Tails’ old friend Errol turned traitor? You’ll have to read to find out!

You want more? We’ve got another sizzling Q-Zone and, due to the first ever STC being released this month 12 years ago, a look back at Sonic’s older games. In fact, not only is this is 12th anniversary, it’s also the birthday of STC writer hume Nigel Kitching on the 30th- we wish him all the best!

And don’t think I’m letting the humes sit on their behinds this Summer, get ready for more Syndicate scheming, the conclusion of Crossroads, the return of Tekno and Shortfuse, and some very big STC happenings indeed! As always, you ain’t seen nothing yet…
