sonic 260 – The Sonic Stadium

We’re under the sea, but is the situation better down where it’s wetter?

Here in the sunny UK, the weather has been rather hot recently, so a dip in the water is warranted. Comic Book Resources have released the preview for Sonic the Hedgehog #260, and what better way to kick off the summer of the Sonic comic, then, than to have a whole new adventure under the ocean waves! Sonic, Amy and Rotor are sent out to search for a Gaia temple, when they are called upon by an undersea civilisation to help them. What new faces will we meet there, and what’s going on deep down beyond the Dark Gaia monsters popping up and beginning to attack the area? Find out in “Waves of Change”: Part 1. Meanwhile, Sally, Nicole, Antoine and Tails are starting their little mission into an Eggman base, in the search for a much-needed Chaos Emerald in “Light in the Dark”: part 1.

Thanks to Den of Geek!, we know that Sonic the Hedgehog #260 begins a new story which looks to be somewhat based on the events of Sonic Unleashed. As he deals with the now shattered planet, dark monsters have started to come out to play too! This starts off the search for the Chaos Emeralds anew, and it’s not going to be an easy one, especially when it requires a dive under the ocean and a scrap against Eggman’s latest scheme! This is “Waves of Change”: Part 1.

Meanwhile, Flickering Myth has unveiled the next universe arc, and it looks to be chaos! Knuckles heeds forces telling him to fix the broken planet below, and wouldn’t you know it, Sally’s hired the Chaotix to hunt out the Chaos Emeralds at the same time. When their two paths meet, it only means a team up of quite the baddie-beating power, which can perhaps be used against any hooligans they happen to find alongside the Rexes and Nightmares coming out of the planet! This is “The Great Chaos [Trust me, it’s chaos] Caper”: Part 1.

Fly high above the clouds with Knuckles and the Chaotix in The Great Chaos Caper: Part One! Knuckles the Echidna has been tasked by a mysterious force to fix the shattered planet – but when the Dark Gaia monsters emerge from the word’s core, our hero finds himself in a fight for his very life! Luckily the ever-adventuring Chaotix are around to lend a hand, hired by Princess Sally to gather the all-important Chaos Emeralds. But wait, who’s that lurking in the dark?

Sonic Universe #63 which features some new characters and familiar faces arrives on April 23, 2014.

This giant Chaos Emerald hunt and monster bash looks unmissable! We’ll cover them more closer to the time of their releases.
