I never read issue 200. Did they kill off Robotnik again? That’s always such a bad move.
@PJMan
#200 aint out yet.
i find it really weirdl how omega is stronger than eggman’s old army, but threatens him with a relatively weak threat.
wait wasnt gamma destroyed?!?
@chaos_controller
Not in the comics, but I have a feeling that this issue will change that.
/\ SIDENOTE: Omega’s finally in!
hey isssue 3 i’m still buy sonic the hedgehog but i forget isssue 1 of sonic universe but sonic universe is a great comic and sonic the hedgehog so i buy sonic universe and sonic the hedgehog comic’s i can’t wait for mobius 40 years later.
Wow, I really need to start reading this.
Omega and Gamma sharing the same page? That’s awsome.
Unfortuanatly, my Barnes’ and Nobles’ don’t have any comics, only manga D:
Oh shoot, it’s GAMMA!!!
Despite continuity issues (SPOILERS. Omega had one of the Flickies and had to destroy himself) this is outstanding! A fan favorite returns!
If only SEGA could learn from Archie….
Whew…. After now reading that I’m shocked….
Where’s the continuity? Gamma was destroyed…. And now Omega’s a bad guy?
Either this happened before Sonic Heroes or this is a load of crap.
Dang, and I thought Sonic Universe was going to be good….

The comics are a different continuity from the comics. Sonic Heroes was never adapted. Gamma was never destroyed, and Omega makes his first ever appearance here.
Too bad….they made a joke at the end of

Too bad….they made a joke at the end of Sonic Universe 2 about how it took so long to adapt sonc adventure 2, and sonic said ” are they going to adapt sonic heroes in 2011!”, I hope I wont have to wait that long.
But im glad Omega finally appeares nontheless.
