Sonic HQ25 Years & Counting!

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #107

Written by Karl Bollers and Ken Penders, art by Ron Lim, Pam Eklund, Andrew Pepoy, Dawn Best and Penders, cover by Spaz.

"Crouching Hedgehog, Hidden Dragon Part Two." Things are heating up as Sonic continues defending the Hidden City of the Ancients from the dragon that besieged it in the last issue. Meanwhile, the rest of the Freedom Fighters do their best to keep damage to a minimum - both to the building and the citizenry, whose alliance the Freedom Fighters are counting on. It's not easy - someone or something is intent on keeping them from accomplishing their mission. Who could it be? "Reunification Part Two." It's the moment Knuckles fans have been waiting for: the embattled hero has finally restored his family and friends back to their home of the Floating Island - but with the Dark Legion now part of the equation, can confrontation be far behind?

32 pages, $1.99, ships on Feb. 8.

Not only is he the fastest thing alive, but now he may also be the lightest! Dancing off your Dreamcast and jumping into the sky, Sonic the Hedgehog is ready to set the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade afire.

Joining the ranks of such noticeables as Snoopy and Garfield, Sonic joins newcomer Jimmy Newtron high above New York to bring in this year's Thanksgiving. Be sure to catch the parade in-person or on television as Sonic celebrates his tenth anniversary in style!

It seems thatt well known PC and Dreamcast emulator maker Bleem! has gone under. Anither just as noticable thing is the picture on the main page, which features a gravestone and Sonic standing next to it crying. This is probably to signify the death of their DC emulators, but I'll follow up if I find anything else out.

I have read in a magazine that the guy who created sonic actually was quoted to have said "i'd love to see sonic in a future smash brothers type game" more info later

Sega.com says SA2 battle is going to be released in January 2002, which is one month after the Japanese version. I still ain't gonna buy one :)

Sega has released their newest creation: The Sega Instant Messenger! It's free to everyone with a Sega.com, SegaNet, or Segasports.com account (no, you don't have to pay the $10 monthly fee, according to their website)

Here's what the site said

"The Sega Instant Messenger (IM) is a PC application that offers real-time chat between Sega.com members worldwide. It's a lot like other IM programs out there, but with one big difference -- it's strictly for Sega fans. Best of all, it's free to all SegaNet Subscribers and registered members of Sega.com!"

Some good news for Dreamcast owners. If you were looking to play Shenmue 2 on your Dreamcast soon but were disheartened by Sega's decision to cancel in North America, take heart! You can pre-order the European Version! Learn more here.

I was just at the TeamArtail site and went into the petition board and got this message. "The Petition has been removed due to abuse. Besides, there are SatAM episodes being released on VHS & DVD on 2/26/2002 so the sales of those will do the talking if we want the rest of the series to be released. Sorry that immature people had to ruin this petition, but at least one goal has been achieved, whether due to the petition or not, I don't know, but there isn't a need for it anymore. Thanks to all who supported it." So it does seem that the petition is now off the net.
