Hey Humers! \"\"<\/h2>\r\n

Megadroid can’t write the Control Zone today as he’s, uh, still recovering from the office Christmas party – so he’s asked me, the work experience guy, to do it for him! <\/p>\r\n\r\n

So we’ve got these four strips, starting with Sonic VS Silver<\/a> where Sonic has a fight with Silver! According to these notes, Silver’s all grumpy that Super Sonic blows up the future – wow, he really did that? Whoa, I guess Silver better win then or Super will be running around blowing stuff up! Also, we’ve got a strip where Nack Requests Your Allegiance<\/a> as he finds being a Zone Leader in wartime is more than he bargained on and learns the truth about Robotnik. Hey, Nack was the bad guy in Triple Trouble, right? He’s a Zone Leader now? Awesome! I should really read this comic. Over in Big the Cat, Big the Cat Saves Christmas<\/a> (I’m not sure you need me to explain what happens in that one). And in Sonic’s World, Sonic’s apparently not in it which confused me a bit but Rouge the Bat is in it as she teams up with a new partner to break into Robotnik’s HQ in The Bat Who Spied Me!<\/a> I wish I could team up with Rouge. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

I need to delete that last sentence before print. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

We’ve also got an STCC Zone<\/a>, talking about October’s Sonic The Comic Con. Yeah, Megadroid says the STCC was really fun, with old creators and live panels and a free comic with never-before-seen scripts, and the Zone has all these photos of it and everyone looks happy… Man, I wish I could’ve gone to STCC instead of having to photocopy stuff.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

We also have some wallpapers<\/a> for your computer! I had to resize those wallpapers for Megadroid, and you know how much I get paid for this? [CENSORED BY EDITORIAL] Anyway, go find out the rest yourself, I’m checking out these back issues of the comic! <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Wow, did you know Sonic has green eyes now? When did that happen…? <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Oh, what’s that? i’ve just been passed a note from one of the humes running out the door with a sack full of unwrapped presents that says we need to wish a very Happy Birthday to Jack (son of our very own James “DarkNoise” Kennedy!), who just turned ten years old. We announced his birth waaaay back in our 2004 Christmas Special. Gosh, how long has this comic been going on for?<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Social” background_layout=”dark” _builder_version=”3.12.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” _i=”1″ _address=”2.0.1.1″]\r\n\r\n
