Sonic the Hedgehog
Earth Attacks is a 2-part story by Lew Stringer, Richard Elson, Nigel Kitching and Ellie de Ville. Colonel Granite has conquered Mobius whilst Sonic is on Planet Earth. In London, Sonic comes across a group of protesters, meets the Prime Minister and pays a visit to Scotland and finds Granite's second base. Using another time machine, Sonic returns to his planet in time to see Nature throw the humans into the hands of Earth's military police.
Super Sonic
Return of the Nightmare is a 3-part story by Kitching, with art by Roberto Corona and John M Burns, letters coming from Elitta Fell. Sonic is tracking down Super Sonic, who is causing havoc in the Metropolis Zone. Ebony traps Super using the Globe of Enrokk, making the hedgehog think he has destroyed the planet by using the moon to crash into it. However, the spell won't last long and Super won't be happy.
Amy
Small Talk is a complete story, part of the Eternity Ring story arc. Written by Stringer, drawn by Carl Flint, coloured by Nigel Dobbyn and lettered by Tom Frame, the story sees Amy and Tekno the Canary land in a world built by "giants". They are here to stop Agent Skog from downloading secret weapon files but Tekno's attempt to delete the program is interrupted by a large spider. Amy manages to convince Skog to stop by whispering in his ear, pretending to be his conscience.
Features
The theme of this issue's Graphic Zone is "Life on Earth", with Sonic taking up a variety of Earth professions from boxing to being a police officer. Printed pictures won the artistic Boomers a Sonic the Hedgehog watch.
