Table of Contents

Introduction by Ian Flynn

An introduction by the comic's writer, Ian Flynn, is on page 4. It jokingly asserts that this isn't the video game and won't fit into a video game console, 'nor is it the cartoon series. He writes that it instead follows Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks going on goofy adventures and that the intent is to not take things so seriously, likely meant in contrast to the concurrent Archie Sonic books at the time.

Story and off panel summaries can be found on the individual issue pages.
