Publisher’s description

The action-packed, multi-issue epic warps into overdrive! Sonic not only squares off against some of his deadliest foes, the magical Ixis Naugus and the immortal Mammoth Mogul, but must also deal with an army of spider ninjas and the newest threat, The Destructix! Can even the combined strength of Sonic, the Freedom Fighters, Knuckles and the Chaotix be enough to save the day? And can another showdown with the ultimate evil, Dr. Robotnik be far away?
