Well in that case there's one thing you can't dodge.

Why dodge him? It's MARIO! It's not like he can do anything......


Also.. Metal Scourge?

• "Mecha Madness": Robotnik's dream has come true, but it's a nightmare for everyone else: Sonic is finally robotocized and he's tearing about Knothole Village! Can the Freedom Fighters survive this seeming betrayal?
• "Don't Let the Island Hit You on the Way Down": The eternal elephant Mammoth Mogul and his "Fearsome Foursome" wreck havoc on the Floating Island!

Ooh, it looks like 195 is going to bring Silver into the mix. Fun.

I'm surprised MS hasn't said anything about this yet.

So, I just got #193 in the mail today and I'm gonna have to say that this was one of the best issues yet. Not only was the art quite impressive, but the coloring and story meshed very well all together. Apparently, Anti-Bunnie started to grow the same syndrome that Maria got (N.I.D.S) and so Scourge kicked her out of the group. Then Anti-Robotnik know as Kintobor made the Omega suit to keep her sustained. It is also made with non-lethal weapons as seen in the preview pages.

We then get to see Anti-Amy known as Rosy the Rascal. She wears the old style Amy design, and a Sonic the Fighters reference to boot. But apparently, she's a total psychopath because an accident led her with without any sanity left. The final panel is of her about to swing her pointy sharp mallet at Sonic, Amy, and Anti-Bunnie with one of the most creepiest expressions I have ever seen. Definitily liking the Anti-Amy. =P

In the backstory, we get a small preview of the upcoming game Sonic Unleashed. It's nothing big, really. Just the first part where Sonic gets zapped and turned into a Werewolf by Eggman from the trailer.

A very good issue. Hope you guys pick this one up.

[Master Silver]

Well it took them long enough to add him.

[tailsdollfan2]

HELL YEAH! I'LL NEED #195 D<

Edit: Hey, this is Archie, why isn't this here? xD Oh well, I'll put it anyway~



SONIC X #40
"The End": A peaceful gathering of Sonic and his friends remains anything but when Shadow the Hedgehog and Metal Sonic crash the party - literally! Even Dr. Eggman is reeling in horror over the souped-up Metal Sonic, but that doesn't stop him from forming an alliance to attack the blue blur. Meanwhile, Shadow remains inextricably linked to Metal, the only one who can help him find his correct place in the universe. It's a melange of friends, foes and overlapping alliances... and Sonic and his friends are caught in the middle! This issue's title is only the beginning, as it leads into a brand-new series called SONIC UNIVERSE that promises to chronicle the outcome of the Shadow and Metal Sonic conflict, as well as the further adventures of the entire Sonic-verse!
