900th Adventure

This issue, tentatively scheduled for 16 August, will feature various writers and illustrators as the blue blur goes on his "900th world-saving adventure!"

Sonic and his friends are playing a game of hot potato! Only the potato is the Warp Topaz and it could warp the whole world into oblivion. The gang is passing off the Warp Topaz in a relay race to get rid of it once and for all.

Sonic drags Jewel on a well-deserved beach day to spend time with her besties, Tangle and Whisper! But when they all settle in for some rest and relaxation…they realize the Babylon Rogues had the same idea… at the same beach. The only way to settle this is with a totally tubular beach showdown!

A friend of mine is working on a personal project to model Sonic action figures and make them in the style of some old toys. Complete with mold making and plastic pours (pretend I know what I'm talking about) These are their plans so far:

and the old toys in question:

He's looking for some help in 3d modeling in Blender, if you're curious, have some insight, or just want to follow along with the process visit his Twitter :)

Team Dark is back! Yay! Tangle is missing! No! And what about Silver, Blaze, Whisper and Lanolin?! And just what kind of androids are they fighting? Oh the suspense! 😣

Yes to more Team Dark action! And it looks like Evan will be writing Shadow again!

Huh. Yeah, the synopsis states there are three teams in Eggperial City, yet it specificallt mentions the members of two of them: Team Fighters—yes, I'm carrying Sonic, Tails, and Amy's team name over from the Archie comics—and Team Dark. I wonder why everyone in Tangle's team weren't mentioned aside from herself. Are they trying to look for her?

This character is a combination of 言 word/speak and 青 blue. Here 青 is a phonetic element signaling the on’yomi. 青 also carries its own meanings of “blue” and “clear.” During the Han dynasty, there was a ceremony in the spring and fall 「春朝秋請」 where lords would go to visit/be seen by the Emperor, and 請 carried that connotation. There was a meaning of “to see another party seriously/earnestly.” The meanings of “to welcome,” “to summon,” and “to request” resulted from this association.
