<\/h2>\r\nWe\u2019re reaching the middle of May, and for some of you that means enjoying the odd bit of sunny weather we\u2019ve been having. Unless you\u2019re one of the Humes, in which case you\u2019re being forced to do work! They were goofing off playing the new Sonic games the other day and I had to give them a stern ticking-off. (I\u2019d like to say that there is no truth to the office rumour that the real reason I stopped them playing was because they were beating my high score. Nobody can beat my high score. I cleared the first level with three Rings and everything!)<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Out Of Psyche, Out Of Mind<\/a> comes to its conclusion this issue- but not a logical one! With minds in the wrong bodies and a completely bizarre attack being launched on Metropolis Zone, there\u2019s no telling which way this will end! Speaking of ends, the final part of In Cold Blood<\/a> is out. The sinister Bleed has already put Tails and Amy in the hospital; can anyone stop him?!<\/p>\r\n\r\n And it\u2019s also the beginning of the end for all of Mobius in a new Knuckles epic. The mysterious Vichama<\/a> has been the subject of much speculation since he debuted, and now the God of Death is ready to make his move – only Knuckles and Tikal stand against him! As always, if you\u2019re a new reader or need a refresher, the Data Zone<\/a> contains all the relevant information.<\/p>\r\n Download your favourite images direct to your PC, phone, tablet, or Facebook!<\/p>\r\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/md_sig-highres-300x107.png\")

The Family<\/h5>\r\nThey claim to be simple refugees that escaped the Special Zones destruction, but the insect Family are actually a powerful crime syndicate! Run by Don Long-Legs, they’re taking over Mobius underworld. Recently they planted a spy, Zip the Flea, on Tails and now they’re up to worse\r\n\r\n
Oscura<\/h5>\r\nA smarmy psychic with an embarrassing speech impediment, Oscura is a master of psychological warfare. He’s currently used his mind-swap powers to place his mind in Sonics body and vice versa as well as swapping Tails and Zip and appears to be better at being Sonic than Sonic! \r\n\r\n
Bleed<\/h5>\r\nThis mosquito is one of the biggest thieves on Mobius, all due to his nasty power- total control of blood and he deliberately sets up his robberies so he can use his power on people! He has already put Tails & Amy in the hospital. \r\n\r\n
Tikal<\/h5>\r\nAn echidna seer from the ancient past, Tikals memories were repressed by a magic spell to stop her going mad. Shes had multiple visions regarding the return of a terrifying entity called Vichama\r\n\r\n
Vichama<\/h5>\r\nA malignant spectre that had previously possessed the dead form of an echidna, little is known except that he was imprisoned by the ancient echidnas. On the Floating Island, under the Temple of Tikal, there exists the River of Souls- a resting place for tormented echidna ghosts foretelling that the Death Lord Vichama is coming home\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Comics” background_color=”rgba(233,30,99,0.8)” module_id=”comics” module_class=”zone-header” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_image=”http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/logo-comics.png” prev_background_color=”rgba(255,193,7,0.8)” next_background_color=”rgba(156,39,176,0.8)”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” make_fullwidth=”on” custom_margin=”40px|||” parallax_method_1=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” _i=”0″ _address=”4.0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_code admin_label=”Comics Code” _builder_version=”3.12.1″]<div class="row comicrow"><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic1" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-100.jpg"><img class="comictb" src="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-101tb.jpg" alt=""\/><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic1" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-101.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic1" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-102.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic1" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-103.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic1" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-104.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic1" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-105.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic1" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-106.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic1" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-107.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic2" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-201.jpg"><img class="comictb" src="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-201tb.jpg" alt=""\/><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic2" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-202.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic2" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-203.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic2" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-204.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic2" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-205.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic3" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-301.jpg"><img class="comictb" src="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-301tb.jpg" alt=""\/><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic3" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-302.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic3" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-303.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic3" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-304.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <a class="comic3" href="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/pages\/242-305.jpg"><\/a><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> <!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –><\/div><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –><script src="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/brand\/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"><\/script> <!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –><script src="http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/brand\/jquery.colorbox.js"><\/script><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –><script><!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> $(document).ready(function(){<!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> \/\/Examples of how to assign the Colorbox event to elements<!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> $(".comic1").colorbox({rel:'comic1'});<!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> $(".comic2").colorbox({rel:'comic2'});<!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> $(".comic3").colorbox({rel:'comic3'});<!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> $(".comic4").colorbox({rel:'comic4'});<!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> $(".comic5").colorbox({rel:'comic5'});<!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> $(".ajax").colorbox();<!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> $(".iframe").colorbox({iframe:true, width:"80%", height:"80%"});<!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> $(".inline").colorbox({inline:true, width:"50%"});<!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> $(".callbacks").colorbox({<!– [et_pb_line_break_holder] –> onOpen:function(){ alert('onOpen: colorbox is about to open');
