Hey, Boomers!\u00a0 $\"\"$ <\/h2>
You ever have that sort of awkward situation where two of your friends have a birthday really close to one another and you don’t want the hassle of planning two parties? That’s the beauty of the joint party- which is exactly how we’ve approached this issue, smack-bang between\u00a0STC<\/em>‘s 28th birthday and Sonic’s 30th birthday! Can you believe it, Boomers? Three decades of Sonic the Hedgehog! Kids, eh? One minute, they’re a little 16-bit hoglet, the next they’re an internationally-renowned superstar of the silver screen, video games, and a couple of pretty cool comics- they grow up so fast!<\/p>
This issue, we’ve got an astonishing five action packed tales for you! As you’ll have seen on our front cover, Sonic teams up with a red and black ally to take down Vermin in\u00a0Shadow and Light<\/em>. Elsewhere, the Chaotix Crew conclude\u00a0The Search For Charmy Bee<\/em> in part two of\u00a0Ghosts<\/em> and a sinister villain makes their\u00a0STC<\/em> debut in our new Sonic’s World Complete Story,\u00a0Time Over<\/em>. All this plus the second part of\u00a0Streets of Rage story\u00a0Divide<\/em> and Conquer<\/em>! Unfortunately, we’ve had to bump Tekno and Shorty to next issue as fame and fortune got to their head when they learned of their imminent return- their demands were bordering on diva-like! So, to make it up to you, we’ve got a surprise\u00a0Decap Attack story instead in the form of\u00a0Beard<\/em>.<\/p>
As well as the promised Tekno and Shorty story, next issue we’ve got an extra-length lead story starring Sonic as he finally hands out a measure of justice to an old foe, the concluding part of\u00a0Divide and Conquer<\/em> and- believe it or not- Doctor Kintobor is starring in his first ever story! You won’t want to miss\u00a0STC<\/em> #280, Boomers… trust me on that one.<\/p>

The Story So Far…<\/h2>\r\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\r\n
With Doctor Robotnik recently reverted back into Doctor Kintobor, a power vacuum has emerged on planet Mobius. Robotnik’s faithful- and entirely deranged- lieutenant Vermin the Cybernik has taken control of Robotnik’s Badnik forces, with the intention of somehow bringing back the despicable despot.<\/p>\r\n
Vermin is not the master strategist Robotnik was, however, and his methods are much more brutal and underhanded- if you can believe it. Sonic finds himself on the trail of Vermin as he brings his own brand of lawlessness to the streets of Mobius…<\/p>\r[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Comics” module_id=”comics” module_class=”zone-header” _builder_version=”3.22″ background_color=”rgba(233,30,99,0.8)” background_image=”http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/logo-comics.png”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” module_class=” et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” width=”89%” width_tablet=”80%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”89%” max_width_tablet=”80%” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_margin=”40px|||” make_fullwidth=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_code admin_label=”Comics Code” _builder_version=”3.17.5″]
