Sonic The Hedgehog Issue #2
August 1993
We squeal for real indeed.
"Triple Trouble" is the first story. Coconuts, from the AoStH show, makes his debut here in Robotnik's latest attempt to kill Sonic. He tries using exploding coconuts against him, but Sonic and Tails take care of him rather easily. Next up, the legendary Scratch and Grounder! They manage to tie up Sonic, but end up arguing with each other over who will take credit for capturing him. This allows Sonic to recover and defeat them handily. End of story. Wow, even if I tried to make a long summary I couldn't do it. There weren't even any good cheesy punchlines here. Just a tribute to the show it appears.
"Vertigo A Go Go!" is the next story. Sonic ends up in an alternate dimension, where he meets Cal and Al (Cal is always upside down, Al is always horizontal to Sonic). Sonic is suspicious immediately but soon learns that they never even heard of Robotnik before. Sonic gets thrown all over the place as the dimension gets trippier and trippier, but eventually he lands back in Mobius. The End. Already?
Ministory about Sally and Rotor smashing Sonic's face with foil to make special covers for future comic books. Still breaking the 4th wall here. There's also pinups of Sonic and Sally, with each telling us not to tell the other character, and they both have big hearts above their heads. Cute.
"All The Mail's About Tails" is the third story, though it's really just a ministory hyping a possible Tails mini-series in the future. Sonic also reads a fan mail that asks him why he's always naked. Whoops.
Well that covers this issue, but it was just establishing characters that may or may not ever appear in this comic again. Not a whole lot going on, so if you wanted shorter summaries, this was the perfect issue to do it!
