This is a VERY intricate piece of work...This was the first time in a couple of months since we had seen what happened to Dimitri (formerly known as Enerjak), the leader and patron of the Dark Legion. And with his loss of power he's been upgraded MASSIVELY as evident in this picture with all its wires and robotics. An impressive pic by Mr. Valentino

Manny Galan does a simple, but pretty effective picture - and a rarity of Knuckles, showing the softer side of him. After all the secrecy, and having not seen him for over nearly 6 years - Knuckles embraces the father who left him in this double page spread from the 25th Anniversary issue of Knuckles...

Friends No More

    Art: Art Mawhinney

This piece is significant in a number of ways - 1) Its the last piece of art by one of the original Sonic artists, Art Mawhinney, for Archie Comics. 2) It symbolizes the breakup of the childhood friendship of Knuckles and Sally 3) It marks a VERY beautiful piece of Knuckles watching Sally flying off across the ocean towards home. A definite click.

The Chaotix come back in this neat looking promo piece by Frank Strom! His style gives them an almost childlike appearance which is actually kinda cool looking! Especially his Charmy Bee. ^^

I'm tending to like Frank Stroms promo's more than I like some of the stories. ^^ His artwork has greatly improved from his early days and this pic is very evident of that. Knuckles makes a leap against an oncoming Super Shadow Swatbot!

Ron Lim can do some pretty sweet artwork when allowed to have time with his pieces - and this one is eveident of that. Knuckles stands "looking at the camera" in this cool looking profile shot of him having taken care of the enemy (his way of course^_^)

This is probably one of the single funniest full page spreads in Sonic I've seen! Anime fans will DEFINETELY wanna check this out! ^^ Sonic, Amy, Tails, Knuckles, and Rotor each portray a role of the well known Japanese cartoon: Gatchaman (known in America as G-Force and Battle Of The Planets!) Now if only we could get a DBZ riff in there... ^^
