Strips
Mirror Image is a complete story written by Lew Stringer, drawn by Richard Elson and lettered by Ellie de Ville. It is Bonfire Night on Mobius and Sonic and Amy Rose are investigating another of the New Zones. It is also Bonfire Night in this version of the Emerald Hill Zone, but the citizens have made "guys" of Sonic. After a clash with the Tails and Amy from this Zone, Sonic realises they are in a mirror zone ruled by King Sonic. Outside King Sonic's castle, the heroes are forced to fight the villain's robot guards and a tough clash between the two Sonics leads to this world's ruler chilling out - as a mellow Super Sonic!
Features
