Sonic 197/Sonic Universe 01/Sonic Archives 10
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG ARCHIVES #10
The thrilling new series that lets
fans relive classic Sonic stories continues! Volume 10 presents issues
#37 through #40 of Sonic's ongoing comic book series in a special 5 x 7
& ½ inch edition. These stories continue the artistic change to a
more
"dramatic" tone, better aligning the series to the hit Saturday
morning animated series then on the air. The emphasis is on the chaos
that ensues in the wake of a cataclysmic earthquake, with Robotnik
trying to cope with the compromised security of Robotropolis and
continue his reign of terror. An even greater threat looms with the
rise of Mecha Sonic during the epic
"Mecha Madness" story arc, which
leads to court martial proceedings for wrongfully accused Sonic! Each
story is meticulously restored and printed on high-grade paper, so you
can feel like you're zipping right alongside the cobalt champion as he
saves Knothole Village! Stories include:
"The Day Robotropolis Fell" and
"Bunnie's Worst Nightmare" (issue #37),
"The Rise of Robotropolis...The Fall of Sonic" and
"Bedtime Tails" (issue #38),
"Rage Against the Machine" (issue #39), and
"Court Martial" (issue #40).

Princess Sally is guilty of treason. All this, plus a development of
