Hey Boomers! 
Bonfire night bears down upon us all. All we have to look forward to now is longer nights, dead leaves, more cold weather… and some great new Sonic stories!
Sonic has faced many a terrifying foe, but none as insidious and menacing as the press! Inside Story was just the start as the mysterious Kane and his KBC channel continue their smear campaign against Sonic… and incurs the wrath of The Fandom Menace! Meanwhile, more of Big bashing bugs as the Family decides to make the cat an offer he can’t refuse – which he refuses anyway! Be ready for the explosive finale of Kill Big!
Unfortunately, unavoidable problems mean that Part 3 of Vichama is delayed until next issue. We’re sorry for the delay. In its place though, we have a special treat for you – Ristar! A Sega fan-fave, we’ve been having people asking to see Ristar for yonks, so have a teaser of things to come in Scandalous Footage!
We’ve also included a special festive Double Sonic story from our poster mag – find out what happens The Night Before Christmas!
Follow us:
The Story So Far...
For years, the evil Doctor Robotnik ruled Planet Mobius. Eventually, Sonic and his Freedom Fighter gang defeated Robotnik and freed the planet. Now they fight to keep it safe from whatever might threaten it.
Sonic
Sonic is the super-fast hero of Planet Mobius and leads a gang of freedom fighters. He is totally committed to keeping Mobius and its people safe – not that this stops the media from slandering him!
Percival Kane
This tyrannical tycoon owns vast amounts of Mobius’ news media. For months now, he’s now running a media smear campaign against Sonic – and it’s working!
Norris Wimple
The biggest nerd on Mobius, Norris has an odd knack for wandering into dangerous situations. Whenever Badnik’s attack, you’ll find Norris taking down their serial numbers…

Big
A good-natured and dim-witted cat, Big lives a lazy and content existence wandering around looking for food. This has an odd knack of getting him involved in bizarre and dangerous situations- like the Family crime syndicate targeting him!Harvestman & Herne
The primary enforcers of Don Long-Legs, Harvestman is a sharply-dressed gunslinger while Herne is happy as long as he gets to smash things. Together, they take on any threat to the Family – and they’ve found out Big is far more dangerous than they thought…Ristar
Son of the legendary hero Itzamna, Ristar saved his father and the known galaxy from the evil Kaiser Greedy. Now he’s surrounded by fame and fans – none of whom know what he gets up to in private…<div class="row comicrow"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-100.jpg"><img class="comictb" src="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-101tb.jpg" alt=""/></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-101.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-102.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-103.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-104.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-105.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-106.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-107.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic2" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-201.jpg"><img class="comictb" src="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-201tb.jpg" alt=""/></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic2" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-202.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic2" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-203.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic2" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-204.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic2" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-205.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic3" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-301.jpg"><img class="comictb" src="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-301tb.jpg" alt=""/></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic3" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-302.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic3" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-303.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic3" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-304.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic3" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244-305.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><a class="comic4" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244a-100.jpg"><img class="comictb" src="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244a-101tb.jpg" alt=""/></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic4" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244a-101.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic4" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244a-102.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic4" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244a-103.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic4" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244a-104.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic4" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244a-105.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic4" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244a-106.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic4" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/244a-107.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --></div><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><script src="http://www.stconline.co.uk/brand/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script> <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><script src="http://www.stconline.co.uk/brand/jquery.colorbox.js"></script><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><script><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $(document).ready(function(){<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> //Examples of how to assign the Colorbox event to elements<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $(".comic1").colorbox({rel:'comic1'});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $(".comic2").colorbox({rel:'comic2'});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $(".comic3").colorbox({rel:'comic3'});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $(".comic4").colorbox({rel:'comic4'});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $(".comic5").colorbox({rel:'comic5'});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $(".ajax").colorbox();<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $(".iframe").colorbox({iframe:true, width:"80%", height:"80%"});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $(".inline").colorbox({inline:true, width:"50%"});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $(".callbacks").colorbox({<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> onOpen:function(){ alert('onOpen: colorbox is about to open');
