“FASCINATING...!”

[roughandtumble-r]

Issue 38 came out, so let’s talk about it!

So Tangle and Belle run around the base place until they find out that Orbot and Cubot are the ones controlling it, and they’re also aware that Sonic, Tails, and Amy are there and told Eggman...

Then, Belle reveals to Tangle that she is in fact a badnik (which we kinda already knew since it was pretty obvious she was made by Eggman and/or Mr.TInker), but Tangle still wants to help her out.

Meanwhile, Sonic, Tails, and Amy are walking around this town simulation thing when they stumble upon a badnik having a bath...

In that badnik’s defense, they should have knocked first. No wonder he’s so upset :3

They then realize that the building they’re in is surrounded by a bunch of badnik hybrids, and Eggman also starts talking to them through a toaster...

So the simulation thing they’re in is a test chamber for Eggman’s own robots, and he wasn’t intending for Sonic and pals to show up at all, but he’s still interested to see if they can complete it.

That’s it for Issue 38, but there is one other thing I want to talk about... So I recently brought up the solicit for the Sonic 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition thing, but what I didn’t realize at the time is that that was just for a special version of another thing called the Sonic 30th Anniversary Special, which is set to come out on Sonic’s anniversary on June 23rd and also has it’s own solicit that goes more into detail about what both versions of it will be about...

After 30 years of going fast, it's time for fans to celebrate the speediest hedgehog of all time! It's an unbelievable birthday celebration for Sonic the Hedgehog with his first Classic Sonic special! First, in "Seasons of Chaos" by longtime Sonic scribe Ian Flynn and artists Aaron Hammerstrom & Reggie Graham, Sonic goes on an adventure from pleasant spring valleys to wintry wonderlands in search of the Chaos Emeralds. But Sonic's not alone, with a little help from his friends Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Mighty the Armadillo, and Ray the Flying Squirrel, they'll race, fight, and fly their way to victory against the baddest of baddies! Then, in "Dr. Eggman's Birthday," the vile, villainous Dr. Eggman takes center stage in a story written by New York Times bestseller Gale Galligan (The Babysitters Club)! And how does the bad doctor celebrate the occasion? Only his Badniks know for sure… Finally, in "Sonic Learns to Drive," Sonic's up against a tough challenge: Driving! When the fastest thing alive can outrun any car, will Sonic have the patience to learn… or will he finally get left in the dust? Written by the hosts of My Brother, My Brother, and Me, The Adventure Zone, and New York Times bestsellers, the McElroy Brothers! Grab a slice of chili dog cake and don't get left in the dust on the most way past cool book of the year!

So it’s going to be a collection of stories made by a bunch of different writers and artists in the same way as the Annuals, which makes me wonder if they’ll even do an Annual this year sepreate from this. Maybe they’ll do this first and then release this year’s Annual at some point during the Fall, but it might take a while for us to find out.

Houston, there appears to be two hedgehogs and a fox floating through space... Sonic, Amy, and Tails are stuck in a mysterious new Eggman base. Each room holds a challenging surprise and the hallways don't make any sense! Can they find out how to escape unharmed? Meanwhile, Tangle and Belle sneak in to find the bots running the show and stumble into some trouble!

SONIC IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
