Hey Boomers! 
Is it that time again already? The offices have been so busy since last issue, it’s come round in no time. It’s just been a blur of fireworks, snow, and pancakes! Now it’s starting to look a bit brighter, how about we get the ball rolling on Spring with a new issue of Sonic the Comic?
There’s a nice, complete Sonic story first up! Sonic’s quiet time is interrupted once more, and this time, Robotnik’s machine is a little trickier than usual. Sonic may find he needs more than a little help to take down Libra!
Knuckles encountered a strange robot last issue, seemingly kept secured in a maze of deadly obstacles that even he had trouble navigating. Will he find out exactly what the ‘Gizoid’ is this time? Find out in the second part of Skeletons in the Closet.
Follow us:
The Story So Far...
Doctor Robotnik has returned and Mobius is at war! Both the real world and the internet’s ‘digital world’ are under attack – and have spiky heroes defending them!
Sonic
Sonic was the super-fast hero of Mobius until he was framed for crimes he did not commit, but he continues to fight for freedom anyway.
Knuckles
Knuckles is Guardian of the Floating Island and the mighty Chaos Emeralds. He was once an echidna warrior in the ancient past but after a great war, his people vanished from Mobius – leaving many mysteries for Knuckles! One such mystery is now trying to kill him…
Shadow II
The original Shadow was a sociopath and because Kintobor had helped him, Shadow helped Robotnik try and destroy Mobius! This surly, cocky Shadow is a digital copy taken years ago by Kintobor, to protect cyberspace.

Dr Ivo Robotnik
Once a kindly scientist named Kintobor, until a lab accident made him evil! His mind is plugged into a supercomputer, giving him mental control over any robot or system he has.Porker Lewis
Porker was once the technological whiz of Sonic’s gang, but lost his nerve after a horrible experience and now lives on the Floating Island. He helps investigate the echidna’s mysteries!Mysterious Robot
It was found next to an ancient echidna skeleton and a message about the “Gizoid”. But why is it trying to kill Knuckles?<div class="row comicrow"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-100.jpg"><img class="comictb" src="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-101tb.jpg" alt=""/></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-101.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-102.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-103.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-104.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-105.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-106.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic1" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-107.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic2" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-201.jpg"><img class="comictb" src="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-201tb.jpg" alt=""/></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic2" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-202.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic2" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-203.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic2" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-204.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <a class="comic2" href="http://www.stconline.co.uk/pages/260-205.jpg"></a><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [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] --> $(".comic6").colorbox({rel:'comic6'});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $(".comic7").colorbox({rel:'comic7'});<!-- [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'); },<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> onLoad:function(){ alert('onLoad: colorbox has started to load the targeted content'); },<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> onComplete:function(){ alert('onComplete: colorbox has displayed the loaded content'); },<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> onCleanup:function(){ alert('onCleanup: colorbox has begun the close process'); },<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> onClosed:function(){ alert('onClosed: colorbox has completely closed'); }<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> });<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $('.non-retina').colorbox({rel:'group5', transition:'none'})<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $('.retina').colorbox({rel:'group5', transition:'none', retinaImage:true, retinaUrl:true});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> //Example of preserving a JavaScript event for inline calls.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $("#click").click(function(){ <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> $('#click').css({"background-color":"#f00", "color":"#fff", "cursor":"inherit"}).text("Open this window again and this message will still be here.");<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> return false;<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> });<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> });<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --></script>
