"First Issue!" …Er… not really…
The Freedom Fighters are surrounded by Robotnik and his Badniks!
Written by Michael Gallagher, penciled by Dave Manak, inked by Bill White, lettered by Bill Yoshida, colored by Lyrad Namlede. "Editor Supreme": Daryl Edelman. Editor in Chief: Richard Goldwater. Special thanks to Bob Harris and Susan Reyes at Sega of America.
R&D Swatbot #693-47892 delivers to Robotnik a sample of the mechanical "plant", Krudzu.
Robotnik has a Burrobot seed the Great Forest with the plant, and the plant soon begins engulfing the forest.
With razor sharp jaws, and vines strong enough to strangle a helpless Mobian, things are looking grim for the Freedom Fighters… but then, a thunderstorm lets loose over the Great Forest, short-circuiting the non-waterproof mecha-nism.
Oh-kaaaay…

Sonic heads to the Casino Night Zone to spy on a speech by Dr. Robotnik, but he’s captured by the newest Badnik, Orbinaut, and placed in a giant pinball machine. (What is it about Sonic and pinball, anyway?)
Sonic breaks free and blows the casino up.
Sonic wins the First (and probably last) Annual Acorn Awards.
Sonic answers the question, "At what speed do you legs become those blurry wheels?"
How Sonic makes a chilidog.
Daryl plugs "the upcoming" Sonic cartoon, Mark Mitchell asks if any villains from Sonic 2 will appear in the comic (that’s an affirmative), Acme Kid and Don Lewis say how much they loved the mini-series, and Tim Fichera asks if there’ll be a Streets of Rage comic (I believe that was a negative).
A fine example of the first year-or-so of the comic—it’s really no more than a low risk bit of Sonic merchandising, in the form of a humorous comic that fits in nicely with the other Archie titles…But it handles that role with flying colors.
