Considering the last story arc was so heavy, they decided to take a break from the angst and violence with this issue and give a few happy endings to some noteworthy people.

In “Comings and Goings”, Sonic and Tails head to the Zone to find a Chaos Emerald towake King Acorn from his coma.  Following that, Tails’ uncle Merlin uses the Emerald to rescue Tails’ parents from Argentum, the alien planet they’d been stranded on.  In the back-up story, the whimsicle “the Island of Lost Badniks”, Sonic dsicovers one of the original Dr. Robotnik’s secret islands where his Badniks would go for repair or retirement.  Sonic then faces Pseudo-Sonic, his very first evi doppleganger!

An upbeat issue to off-set all the depressing stuff that happened in the previous arc, though not ignoring those events (Sonic visits Tommy’s and Sir Connery’s graves).  Not any actual conflict in the whole issue, but it provides a breather.  The back-up story is the most fun, with Sonic finally facing off against Pseudo-Sonic who appeared waaaaayyyy back in issue #9 and was never seen again.  Done mostly for humor, but a fun story never-the-less.  We also get the return of the “Off Panel” comic strips, which they haven’t done in while.  Not the funniest stuff in the world, but it’s alright.
