New Information: STH #204, 205, and SU #8

Archie Releases Plot Points on All Three

Yesterday, we brought to you the upcoming cover art for three late Summer/early Fall Sonic comics.  Later in the same day, Archie Comics released copious amounts of new information on all three upcoming issues.

The main issue #204 will conclude the Heavy is the Head two parter involving Bunnie, while #205 will begin another two issue arc that pits Sonic against Monkey Khan.  Meanwhile, the eighth issue of Sonic Universe will cap off the 30 Years Later four issue arc with the emergence of the Future Freedom Fighters.

Archie Comics also announced that due to overwhelming demand and current short supply, reprints will be issued of Sonic Universe issues 1 through 4 via backlist, beginning in September.

Take a look at the descriptions below.  Thanks to Fairfiendfencer who followed up on his news tip from yesterday with another one today.  If you have a story to share, tell us by clicking “News Tips” at the top of every page.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #204

“Heavy is the Head Part Two”: Bunnie is back, but worse for wear with her wounds being tended in the hospital. Luckily, her friends are by her side… but not for long, as a less-than-lucid Eggman attacks in his Egg-Tortoise walker! Sonic and Tails spring into action, while Iron Queen and crew watch with wide eyes. Why are they so interested in seeing Eggman captured? It’s the start of a new pulse-pounding tale guest-starring Nicole, Antoine, Monkey Khan, Espio and more!
PLUS: “Friend in Deed Part 2″: Knuckles’ melee against a surprise traitor continues… and as the brawl rages on, so do the emotions within, as Knuckles realizes that he can win the battle but lose so much more!
