This year will be the fifteenth year of STC, and a lot’s changed around our offices since then. For one, I’ve gotten a shiny, sleek, new body – the Humes… okay, we won’t go there. But change is the name of the game. There’s no standing still and playing it safe when you’re writing about the cool blue one, as you’ll find out as we speed towards the grand 250th issue!

What’s that? Psychic gangsters, world-eating monsters, high-speed criminals and the tabloids aren’t enough for you? You want a big Sonic epic, one that will push him to his edge and where nothing is certain? Be careful what you wish for! Beginning today is the first in a four-part thriller – and a deadly Ultimatum has been issued! The last time we saw Tekno and Shorty, they were sucked into the Eternity Ring. Where did they go? Find out in Sunrise! And if that’s not enough action for you, how about the return of our apocalyptic Vichama story arc? Knuckles has been killed by the God of Death – and an outmatched Tikal’s only chance is Emergency Program One!

And keep your eyes out for our 15th anniversary celebration story, The Elephant in the Room, revealing an unsung hero of Mobius!
