That\u2019s what Sonic reckons, anyway, and for those humes \u2013 and the occasional hard-working droid \u2013 it\u2019s high time for a refreshing new issue of STC.\r\n\r\nGood news then: as well as the conclusion of the latest Sonic adventure, <a href=\"#comics\">In the Heat of the Night<\/a>, Amy also springs into action with the first in a new two part story: <a href=\"#comics\">Impressions<\/a>! Don\u2019t forget that you can still browse back issues at your leisure, and check out Boomer reaction in <a href=\"#speedlines\">Speedlines<\/a>. Still, it\u2019s often been said that the only problem with STC is that it just doesn\u2019t come often enough. I\u2019ve suggested going weekly to the humes but they threatened to put me in a greenhouse until my circuits melted.\r\n\r\nLuckily, not all humes are as lazy. In fact, you can now see the work of a couple of the amazing art humes from the old days of STC. Conceived, pencilled and lettered by Roberto Corona and coloured by Nigel Dobbyn, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darkhorse.com\/community\/stripsearch\/strip.html?SKU=strip030811\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manuwahi <\/a>is a must-read.\r\n\r\nIt&#8217;s been a while since we&#8217;ve had a free gift, so how about one for next issue? I thought you lot would approve! I&#8217;ll see you in the Hallowe&#8217;en issue where there are plenty of spooky treats and action-packed adventures lined up!\r\n\r\nIn the meantime, enjoy this latest issue and stay cool!\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-271 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/md_sig-highres-300x107.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"107\" \/>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Megadroid&#8221; src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/megadroids\/224md.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Megadroid&#8221; align=&#8221;right&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;45px|||&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; use_overlay=&#8221;off&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;500ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; show_bottom_space=&#8221;on&#8221; \/][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Social&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.16.1&#8243;]\r\n\r\n<h3>Follow us:<\/h3>\r\n<a title=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/stconline\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/stconline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" 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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" 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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" 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 loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" 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>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Data Zone&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(255,193,7,0.8)&#8221; background_image=&#8221;http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/comics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/logo-datazone.png&#8221; module_id=&#8221;datazone&#8221; module_class=&#8221;zone-header&#8221; prev_background_color=&#8221;rgba(33,150,243,0.8)&#8221; next_background_color=&#8221;rgba(233,30,99,0.8)&#8221;][et_pb_row background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;The Story so Far Text&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(156,39,176,0.8)&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;]\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Story So Far&#8230;<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"et-waypoint et_pb_animation_fade_in et-animated circular\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"circular aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/datazone\/226previous.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/><\/div>\r\nSonic&#8217;s battle with the terrifying Chaos creature was going badly until Ebony showed up with her friend, Super Sonic. Super had split from Sonic and had become a pacifist, never daring to use the terrible power that the chaos energy bestowed upon him.\r\n\r\nThat all changed when he absorbed Chaos&#8217; energy and reverted to a terrifying monster. Luckily, Ebony was able to merge Sonic and Super again &#8211; back to the way it was in the beginning.\r\n\r\nWith Chaos destroyed, Sonic, Porker and Ebony went searching for the Floating Island, which had sunk beneath the sea. With the Floating Island\u2019s shields failing and water leaking into the island, Porker and Ebony sent a small bubble of Chaos Energy; a gift from the Underwater Outpost they had befriended.\r\n\r\nBut now, the energy has brought back two people \u2013 the benevolent Tikal, and the terrible demon Super Sonic\u2026\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;25px|||&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_team_member name=&#8221;Sonic&#8221; image_url=&#8221;http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/datazone\/226sonic.jpg&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade_in&#8221; module_class=&#8221;circular&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#9c27b0&#8243; header_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(255,255,255,0.8)&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;5px|5px|5px|5px&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221;]\r\n\r\nSonic is the super-fast hero of Mobius, and leads a gang of freedom fighters.
