After 25 years since its first publication, 15 years and 1125 pages of STC Online, and probably more cups of tea than the Humes-who-think-they\u2019re-in-charge would care to admit, Sonic The Comic reaches the amazing milestone of 275 issues!\r\n\r\nAnother landmark issue deserves another epic story to celebrate, and issue #275 aims to deliver just that with STC\u2019s biggest tale to date! <a href=\"#comics\">The Battle For Drak<\/a> is a 32-page extravaganza and the culmination of some long-running storylines over the last 52 issues of STC Online!\r\n\r\nThis issue is both a celebration of the terrific talent that\u2019s been involved in the comic over the years and a chance to showcase almost all of the brilliant cast of characters that got us to this point &#8211; we hope it was worth the wait!\r\n\r\n#275 is also when we take the time to say goodbye to long-time head hume Michael Corker, who is sadly stepping down with this, his last issue. Michael wrote this issue&#8217;s main story and had the mammoth task of organizing all the many contributing artists and collaborators, as well as finding the time in his busy schedule to put this amazing issue together! The whole team wish him a well-deserved retirement and every success with whatever is in store for him next (probably a nice long lie down if he\u2019s got any common sense!).\r\n\r\nMichael has been many things over the years since STC Online\u2019s very first release with issue #224 way back in 2003. He\u2019s been a writer, an artist, a letterer, a designer, a webmaster and a code monkey extraordinaire (and personal thanks for all those upgrades!). Most importantly, he\u2019s been a friend, cheerleader, and supporter of Sonic the Comic and all the amazing and talented people who have worked on this project over the years. It\u2019s no understatement to say that none of this would be possible without his tireless work on the comic, both behind the scenes and on the page!\r\n\r\nHowever, if you thought all of this meant the end of the story, you\u2019d be quite mistaken&#8230;\r\n\r\n#275 has one more special surprise to share with you and has it got some absolute Superstar talent involved! As a parting gift, Michael has teamed up with STC alumni Nigel Kitching and Nigel Dobbyn on the cryptically titled <a href=\"#comics\">Exit: Sonic<\/a> and you\u2019ll definitely not want to miss this tantalising new tale!\r\n\r\nAnd look out for more from Sonic the Comic this weekend! We&#8217;re hosting the STC25 fan event in Manchester on Sunday 2nd June! Filled to the rafters with some amazing guests, past and present humes, and of course the fans who\u2019ve made this whole thing possible! We hope everyone has an amazing time and I\u2019ll try not to be too offended that my invite seems to have gotten lost in the post!\r\n\r\nDo excuse me, I um.. think there\u2019s a little something in my oil duct&#8230;\r\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"107\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-271 size-medium\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/md_sig-highres-300x107.png\"><\/h2>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Megadroid&#8221; src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/megadroids\/275.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Megadroid&#8221; align=&#8221;right&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.4.1&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;45px|||&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;500ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; \/][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Social &#038; Donate&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.105&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221;]\r\n\r\n<h3>Follow us:<\/h3>\r\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/stconline\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/stconline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-161 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/btn_facebook-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Megadroid_STC\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Megadroid_STC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/btn_twitter-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"http:\/\/stconline.tumblr.com\/\" href=\"http:\/\/stconline.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/btn_tumblr-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"http:\/\/disqus.com\/home\/forum\/sonicthecomic\" href=\"http:\/\/disqus.com\/home\/forum\/sonicthecomic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-160 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/btn_disqus-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;STC25&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.4.1&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;15px|15px|15px|15px&#8221;]\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"256\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1400\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/stc25ad.jpg\">\r\n\r\nSTC25 is a day-long celebration of the UK\u2019s Sonic the Comic and its online continuation: Sonic the Comic Online this June in Manchester, UK!\r\n\r\nWith special guests including Nigel Kitching, Nigel Dobbyn, Carl Flint, Ferran Rodriguez, Richard Elson, and for the first time ever at a Sonic event &#8211; Lew Stringer, STC25 is bound to be an incredible day!\r\n\r\nFor more updates, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1996449803730588\/\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">our Facebook event page<\/a>.\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Matt&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.4.1&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;15px|15px|15px|15px&#8221;]\r\n\r\n<h3>Matt Dittmer | 1988-2018<\/h3>\r\nThe STC family suffered a terrible blow this year.

No, not the crocodile. No, not the one with the monocle. No, not Sonic! The handsome one! Let me bring you up to speed, so to speak. Monocle man is Lord Sidewinder, a feared supercriminal in the Special Zone. You\u2019ll remember Sonic and Super Sonic were separated into two forms- well, Sidewinder hoped to rule the Special Zone with Super Sonic at his side. That went about as well as could be expected. So Sonic had the bright idea of asking me to freeze Super Sonic in time\u2026 inside me! Some thanks I get for all the help I do. Well, the end result is Sonic was trapped in the Special Zone so he spent some time with the Chaotix Crew. Meanwhile, I\u2019d been unable to freeze time completely, but I was able to slow time to a tiny fraction of its usual speed. As soon as Sonic and Chaotix figured out Super Sonic was very slowly making his way to freedom, they put me inside the Black Asteroid. Charming!\r\n\r\nWell, at any rate, I was able to teleport to safety at the moment Super Sonic broke free of my control. At Sonic\u2019s instruction, I teleported the entire Black Asteroid to the skies above the Metropolis Zone, just as Super Sonic detonated it with a burst of enormous energy from within!\r\n\r\nSonic explained his reasoning- Vector\u2019s scientific friends at Equinox Labs had discovered the detonation of the asteroid would cause a planet-wide electromagnetic pulse, knocking out all electrical systems on the planet. Now, they expected it to affect Planet Meridian- but it was Mobius that got the blast!\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27503.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, Super Sonic had got himself free\u2026 and he wasn\u2019t very happy!\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27504.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe electromagnetic pulse took immediate effect, destroying the Badniks that were terrorising Amy and Johnny while following orders from Robotnik lackey Vermin the Cybernik! Vermin, as a Cybernik, was down but not out while his backup systems rebooted, but the Badniks popped open, freeing their captives! At this moment, Sonic made his triumphant return to Mobius!\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27505.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nOn the Floating Island, Robotnik\u2019s attempts to turn the Emerald Hill Folk into an enormous biological computer were thwarted by the electromagnetic pulse! While Robotnik tried to figure out the cause of the pulse, Knuckles realised this could be his chance to take the dictator down\u2026\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27506.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nBack on the planet\u2019s surface, Sonic and his friends were pleased to find every Badnik they encountered was deactivated. Their joy was short-lived, however, as Super Sonic made his terrifying presence known!\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27507.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nInitially toying with the heroes, Super Sonic pretended he wasn\u2019t cruel enough to kill them. His hubris, however, cost him as when he finally attempted to destroy Sonic with his eye lasers he could only manage a pitiful crackle of energy that barely tickled Sonic!\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27508.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nSuper Sonic couldn\u2019t hold energy anymore! As I recall, the explosion had somehow changed Super Sonic- perhaps he\u2019d used all his energy in the blast. It\u2019s not clear and maybe we\u2019ll never know. But Super Sonic stumbled away in a stupor as Sonic and his friends discussed what had happened. Satisfied that the greatest threat was dealt with, Sonic leapt into my gorgeous face and I transported him to the Floating Island\u2026\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27509.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nOn the Floating Island, the situation was dawning on Robotnik. He realised that if his biological computer had been taken down, so too must all of his machines on the planet\u2019s surface! Trying to buy time, Robotnik instructed Doctor Zachary to call upon the Guardian Robots to attack Knuckles as they rely on ancient echidna technology and were not affected by the electromagnetic pulse.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27510.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nUnfortunately for the two baddies, though, the modern technology Zachary used to control the Guardian Robots was knocked out! His weapons system apparently having manual control, however, Zachary took on Knuckles at Robotnik\u2019s command.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27511.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nThinking tactically, Knuckles feigned defeat in order to lure Zachary in closer- that\u2019s when I arrived with Sonic! Naturally, Sonic decided to use his speed to take Zachary out. Naturally, he then bragged about it. Naturally, he and Knuckles got into a big row. So predictable, those two.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27512.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nAs the boys continued their argument, Zachary tried to make his escape- not that Knuckles was going to allow that to happen, of course! Delivering an earth-shattering punch, Knuckles caused Zachary to slip into the ground, knocking him out for the count. Before they could get into another squabble, Sonic and Knuckles realised they had to stop Robotnik.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27513.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nBut the Emerald Hill Folk, led by Porker Lewis, had rallied against Robotnik and captured him! Robotnik was baffled, he couldn\u2019t understand how the electromagnetic pulse had occurred. Sonic certainly wasn\u2019t about to tell him, leading the now-former dictator to seethe in anger! Robotnik defeated, Sonic took command and returned the eggy evildoer to Mobius\u2019 surface.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27514.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nSonic paraded Robotnik through the streets of the Metropolis Zone as citizens cheered and whooped at the downfall of the tyrant! Robotnik was still boiling with anger, but things weren\u2019t done just yet\u2026\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27515.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nElsewhere in the city, Super Sonic stumbled around, his memory completely gone. He had no recollection of Robotnik, or even what had just happened\u2026 he couldn\u2019t even remember his name! He happened upon the home of Madge, a kindly old lady who was very happy Robotnik had been ousted from power. Confused and powerless, Super Sonic took Madge\u2019s offer of something to eat. The evil Super Sonic was gone\u2026 for now, at least.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27516.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nBack with Sonic and his friends, things were about to get a bit weird! Grimer- who had recently done a very poor job of holding off against a citizens\u2019 revolution against Robotnik\u2019s empire- stormed the streets at the controls of a steam-powered machine! As it used no electric power, this antique robot wasn\u2019t affected by the electromagnetic pulse!\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27517.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter rescuing Robotnik and freeing him from his bonds, Grimer set the machine loose on the streets of the Metropolis Zone. In the confusion, the two baddies fled while Sonic and his pals were left to deal with the machine and the chaos it was wreaking!\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27518.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nSonic, for his money, had had enough with robots for one day, especially ones that belong in a museum! With all his might, Sonic obliterated the machine, much to the dismay of a nearby Professor! Though the immediate threat had been dealt with, things were still far from over as Robotnik and Grimer had disappeared. Sonic knew he had to act fast. Fortunately, \u201cFast\u201d is Sonic\u2019s middle name. That\u2019s a joke, by the way, don\u2019t add it to the wiki.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27519.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nScouring the streets, Sonic and his friends come up with nothing in their search for Robotnik and Grimer. They do manage to capture Vermin, but that does little to please Sonic as he worries about his nemesis\u2019 whereabouts.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27520.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe gang soon figured out that Robotnik and Grimer had taken the only way back into Citadel Robotnik that wasn\u2019t being guarded- the sewers! Sonic preferred to take the direct approach, not to mention keep his sneakers clean! Bursting through the wall, Sonic found Robotnik and Grimer trying to manually restart the Citadel\u2019s generator, which would have given Robotnik enough of a foothold to rebuild his empire!\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27521.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nShoving Grimer out of the way, Sonic took the manual controls of the generator and started spinning the machine up\u2026 faster\u2026 and faster\u2026 and faster! Robotnik thought Sonic didn\u2019t know what he was doing and was actually doing their work for them! Grimer, however, had it- Sonic was overloading the power core of the generator! The two baddies had no choice but to escape as Sonic put his plan into action\u2026\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27522.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n\u2026And detonated the Citadel! In true Sonic fashion, he was able to make a speedy retreat to safety, much to the admiration of his impressed friends.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/flashbackzone\/27523.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nSonic announced to the gathered crowd that they were finally free from Robotnik! Declaring it V.R. Day (Victory over Robotnik), Sonic led the Mobians in the greatest party they\u2019d ever seen! Elsewhere, defeated, Robotnik swore revenge\u2026 but he\u2019s never reclaimed Mobius yet!\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Flashback Zone Info&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.4.1&#8243; background_color=&#8221;rgba(255,87,34,0.8)&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;5px|5px|5px|5px&#8221;]\r\n\r\nAnd that was the end of the evil empire that had ruled Mobius with an iron fist for four years! All bad things, eh, Boomers?\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/stconline.co.uk\/omni\/chill.gif\">\r\n\r\nBut, you know, Boomers, even though it was the end of Mobius Ruled By Robotnik, it wasn\u2019t the end of the adventures for Sonic and his friends. I mean, we\u2019re still here some 275 issues later, aren\u2019t we?\r\n\r\nAs for the future? Well, I know I like to tease you guys but Sonic still has plenty of mileage left in him yet. And, I think, so do the Humes.
