Hey Boomers! \"\"<\/h2>\r\n

It\u2019s still January, right? Right?! Cool, still time to squeeze in a \u201cHappy new year!\u201d From everyone here at STC Towers, we hope the following year is the best you\u2019ve ever had!<\/p>\r\n

I bet you\u2019re all itching to know how Sonic\u2019s going to escape the clutches of the Chaotix Crew, we left him trapped within the Omni-Viewer so go see if he can get out of this mess in part 2 of Hog Hunt<\/a>! <\/p>\r\n

Amy is still on the search for answers about the mysterious SPEAR<\/a> organisation, so when they open up a recruitment drive, she decides the best way to get some answers is to join them! And topping off our trio of tantalising tales, Knuckles continues his proactive stance in the war and goes on the hunt for any Robotnik technology that may be lingering in his old base on Flickie\u2019s Island<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n

And finally, find out the real story behind St. George’s Day in The Dragonslayers<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n

Next issue<\/a>, like the rest of the year, is looking absolutely mind-blowing, so make sure you stick around, keep an eye on our Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter for updates, and drop us a line via Speedlines<\/a> to let us know what you\u2019re most looking forward to from us this year!<\/p>\r\n

\r\nMobius is at war with Doctor Robotnik! Heroes like Tails, Amy, and Knuckles are fighting to keep their planet free – but unfortunately, Sonic the Hedgehog is public enemy number one after being smeared by the KBC network! <\/p>\r\n

Now his secret identity of “Bob Beaky” has been blown and there’s a price on his head, giving him no respite from being hunted – and that’s before the Chaotix Crew turned up!<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” custom_margin=”25px|||” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” _i=”1″ _address=”3.1″][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_team_member name=”Sonic” image_url=”http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/datazone\/263sonic.jpg” module_class=”circular” _builder_version=”3.12.1″ header_text_color=”#9c27b0″ header_line_height=”2em” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.8)” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”5px|5px|5px|5px” animation=”fade_in”]\r\n\r\n

\r\nSonic’s on the run and really feeling the stress. He’d rather fight against Robotnik’s Badnik hordes but first he’ll have to escape the Chaotix – hopefully, without turning into the evil Super Sonic!<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_team_member name=”Knuckles” image_url=”http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/datazone\/263knuckles.jpg” module_class=”circular” _builder_version=”3.12.1″ header_text_color=”#9c27b0″ header_line_height=”2em” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.8)” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”5px|5px|5px|5px” animation=”fade_in”]\r\n\r\n

\r\nIn recent times, serious loner Knuckles been killed and resurrected and discovered grim truths about his origin – which has just made more proactive in fighting evil! He uses the Floating Island’s weaponry and Guardian Robots to assist in the war.<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_team_member name=”Amy Rose” image_url=”http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/datazone\/263amy.jpg” module_class=”circular” _builder_version=”3.12.1″ header_text_color=”#9c27b0″ header_line_height=”2em” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.8)” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”5px|5px|5px|5px” animation=”fade_in”]\r\n\r\n

\r\nAmy is a gutsy, irreverant freedom fighter and, next to Tails, the front of the fight against Robotnik. She doesn’t trust S.P.E.A.R. and wants to find out what’s going on – and wants S.P.E.A.R.’s Captain Blue to stop flirting with her!<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row parallax_method_1=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” _i=”2″ _address=”3.2″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Data Zone Toggle” title=”See the rest of the Data Zone!

The Chaotix Crew<\/h5>\r\n

Techie Vector, brawler Mighty, sarky Espio, barmy Charmy Bee, and time\/space warper Omni Viewer used to guard the Special Zone until Shadow destroyed it. Now they fight to protect Mobius from suffering the same fate! Unfortunately for Sonic, that means they think they have to bring him in! <\/p>\r\n

Porker Lewis<\/h5>\r\n

Science genius Porker Lewis was one of the original Freedom Fighters, until he was captured by Metallix and suffered a nervous breakdown. Now he helps Knuckles with the ancient echidna technology and Guardian Robots. <\/p>\r\n

SPEAR<\/h5>\r\n

A dodgy paramilitary run by Mr Gold, they claim to be heroes fighting Robotnik and that their thuggish violence is “necessary” – but why has Gold been ‘recruiting’ captured supervillains…? <\/p>\r\n

Percival Kane<\/h5>\r\n

Mobius’ main media mogul! It was Kane that smeared Sonic’s reputation for ratings – now, he’s one of Gold’s allies and financial backers.<\/p>\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=”3.17.5″]
