Guess even the weather has to go back to school this month. Speaking of miserable, it\u2019s my sad duty to inform you that STC-O will be going on hiatus until early next year; due to the problems we\u2019ve been having bringing out issues on schedule (otherwise known as the Curse of Mark Millar), we\u2019re taking a break so we can regroup and get a schedule for 2007. This is as annoying for us as it is for you \u2013 but rest assured that this is NOT the end of STC-O! This is Sonic\u2019s fifteenth year in existence \u2013 if he\u2019s been around this long, do you think he\u2019s quitting now?! There\u2019ll be news on the relaunch date in a Poster Mag out in mid-December, so keep an eye out!<\/p>\r\n<p>The Family aren\u2019t just taking over the Casino Night Zone, they\u2019re taking over this issue too! First off we have them trying to shut down a rival casino in a most explosive manner, leaving Sonic and Tails <a href=\"#comics\">Dicing With Death<\/a>! Then it\u2019s the conclusion of <a href=\"#comics\">Bitten by the Gambling Bug<\/a>, as the Family send a friendly warning to Tails & Amy\u2026 in other words, sending smash-happy enforcer Herne to squish them! Can our heroes avoid concrete shoes? And finally, we have the return of\u2026 Robotnik?! Hang on a minute, wasn\u2019t he reduced to a drooling wreck ages ago? Find out what\u2019s going on in <a href=\"#comics\">Robotnik Forever<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n<p>And added to that, we have a spiffy <a href=\"#pinups\">poster or two<\/a>! It\u2019s also 13 years since STC first came out, and three years since STC-O debuted. Give yourselves a pat on the back, Boomers \u2013 without you and your support, we wouldn\u2019t be here today. And because of you and your support, we will be back \u2013 and that\u2019s a promise! <\/p>\r\n<h2><img 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=\"1_3\"][et_pb_image admin_label=\"Megadroid\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/megadroids\/236.png\" alt=\"Megadroid\" align=\"right\" always_center_on_mobile=\"off\" disabled_on=\"on|on|off\" _builder_version=\"3.0.69\" custom_margin=\"45px|||\" animation_style=\"slide\" animation_direction=\"left\" animation_duration=\"500ms\" animation_intensity_slide=\"10%\" sticky=\"off\" _i=\"0\" _address=\"2.0.1.0\" show_bottom_space=\"on\" \/][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Social & Donate\" background_layout=\"dark\" _builder_version=\"3.0.105\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" _i=\"1\" _address=\"2.0.1.1\"]\r\n\r\n<h3>Follow us:<\/h3>\r\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/stconline\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/stconline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img width=\"64\" height=\"64\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-161 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/btn_facebook-1.png\"><\/a> <a title=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Megadroid_STC\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Megadroid_STC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img width=\"64\" height=\"64\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-163 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/btn_twitter-1.png\"><\/a> <a title=\"http:\/\/stconline.tumblr.com\/\" href=\"http:\/\/stconline.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img width=\"64\" height=\"64\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/btn_tumblr-1.png\"><\/a> <a title=\"http:\/\/disqus.com\/home\/forum\/sonicthecomic\" href=\"http:\/\/disqus.com\/home\/forum\/sonicthecomic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img width=\"64\" height=\"64\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-160 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/btn_disqus-1.png\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=\"1\" admin_label=\"Data Zone\" background_color=\"rgba(255,193,7,0.8)\" module_id=\"datazone\" module_class=\"zone-header\" _builder_version=\"3.0.47\" background_image=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/logo-datazone.png\" prev_background_color=\"rgba(33,150,243,0.8)\" next_background_color=\"rgba(233,30,99,0.8)\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"3.0.47\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" _i=\"0\" _address=\"3.0\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"The Story so Far Text\" background_layout=\"dark\" _builder_version=\"3.0.105\" background_color=\"rgba(156,39,176,0.8)\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" module_alignment=\"left\" custom_padding=\"10px|10px|10px|10px\" saved_tabs=\"all\"]\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Story So Far...<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"et-waypoint et_pb_animation_fade_in et-animated circular\"><img width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"circular aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/datazone\/240previously.jpg\"><\/div>\r\n<p>For years, the evil Doctor Robotnik ruled Planet Mobius.
