Publisher’s description
A special issue inspired by the popular new Sonic Adventure game for the hot Sega Dreamcast system! After their amazing journey in issue #79, the Freedom Fighters find themselves in an ancient city that is a brave new world to them. Filled with five-fingered Overlanders who call themselves "humans," the furry friends are given a warm welcome a la "Escape From The Planet Of The Apes", the heroes receive a tour of the city, Amy goes shopping, Tails flies his plane, etc. But all is not right here, and true to form, Sonic's restless spirit finds him on night patrol, where his curiosity inevitably leads him to trouble and feats of daring do! The action continues in Sonic Super Special #13, shipping January 2000!
