Sonic the Comic #130 is the one-hundred and thirtieth issue of the Sonic the Comic series by Fleetway Editions Ltd.
This issue marked the comic's fifth birthday. This milestone was celebrated with a single Sonic story across seventeen pages, "Showdown", which concluded a plotline that had been set in motion as far back as issue #104, as well as a birthday special Decap Attack story.
