All I can say is by my deduction, Worlds Unite Officially starts in June of 2015!.....May 2015 if you're going by ship/subscription date

[Adamis]

I just can't wait for that Champions storyline and see how Honey is handled.

[SamCyberCat]

I wonder if something that happens at the end of Spark of Life prompts the crossover. But then it the countdown on the cover would work against that theory.

Aaaanyway, looking forward to these as always. And I'm glad Waves of Change is getting collected into a book. This way I can get it as a gift for my friends and force them to read about adorable aquatic Sonic characters.

[dnavarre]

Worlds Unite in soon! Even if it's interrupting the overall Sonic Unleashed story, at least it's positioned between arcs this time. Still wondering about the length...16 issues this time, 4 each for StH, SU, SB, and MM? Gonna be a crazy few months.

Not to mention expensive. But now I must say I am now convinced this crossover is gonna work.

[SonicBlueRanger]

Champions is going to be tons of fun UI can just feel it.

Something I noticed is that there's Chaos Emeralds in both arcs so there's only one left unaccounted for. Interesting.

I'm just calling it now The story in SSSM #14 is also going to be the FCBD outing this year. Just a feeling I got.

Looks pretty good all around.

[jm0364]

I just can't wait to see how Boom #6 is going down. I mean Sonic in a Small, Actual Go-Kart? And not a Car or a Transforming vehicle? Hijinks WILL ensue

[SonicBlueRanger]

Also about that. Boom Solicits are suppose to be in the Boom Forum. Just FYI.

Yeah so as chaos emeralds go that's three for the good guys, one in enemy hands, two contested and one unaccounted for. Oh and I have a theory.

Spoiler: show

since eggman land is a given, it is that chunk that's put back so since Eggman has that emerald he pretty much has a bargaining chip

Whoops my bad. Forgot we had that forum. I'll remove it from here.

[SonicWindAttack]

Finally, a new Sonic cover by Yardley! And it's GLORIOUS. Plus, we're finally getting an uninterrupted, no-holds-barred brawl between Sonic and Knuckles? Sign me up! :mrgreen:

NICOLE on the verge of deletion, eh? I smell some Battle Network references on the horizon. :wink:

And a prequel to Worlds Unite? Sounds interesting... hopefully it's a bit more involved than just another Genesis Wave. :P

I'd rather say "Sonic Mars".

Also, yay for Scratch and Grounder being confirmed!

[Sam Z.G.]

Amy vs Honey? hope they let Honey to win as a "new character courtesy". :D

[Ryannumber1gamer]

dang Archie, now you have to buy a freaking Super Special to get the prequel story to Worlds Unite?
