Hey Boomers!

It might be April Fools’ Day, but – in a break from our annual tradition of hoax issues, reprint specials and the like – we’ve got a real, complete Special here, packed to the brim with Easter treats!

In our lead feature, we finally introduce Sonic’s latest sidekick – Cream the Rabbit! Is she a basket of joy, or just a hot cross bunny? There’s only one way to find out, Boomers!

That’s the Easter Bunny out of the way – so why don’t we have some Easter eggs? They won’t be here for long while Robotnik’s around! See what he’s been up to lately in our bite-sized Sunday Funnies!

After Nigel Kitching’s stint as a guest artist in issue 257’s Decap Attack story (did you miss it? Go find it in the back issues!) you can take a look at every stage of his artwork from the script to the finished strip in our special Decap feature. While in the Engine Zone, artist Jin Chan Yum Wai has gone one better, with a full length video showing him draw a page of issue 256 from start to finish – perfect for the season of change and growth!

Finally, there’s an exciting review of an upcoming Sonic game that you probably haven't heard about – and don’t forget to check out our fantastic new wallpapers!

After all that effort, you’d think the Humes-Who-Think-They’re-In-Charge might have served up a delicious Sunday roast for me to tuck into. Well, sure enough, they’ve served one up for themselves – but I have to make do with a half-empty can of oil! The life of a droid, eh, Boomers?
