from the classic times i enjoyed sonic getting roboticized leading up to mecha sonic vs. mecha knux the best. that awful middle era that led up to sonic
adventure and sonic's other worldly travels i tend to just forget about, and in newer times i guess technically return to angel island is my fave but
truthfully i enjoyed M:25YL the most. that always kept my interest

"awful middle era that led up to sonic adventure and sonic's other worldly travels i tend to just forget about"
GASP! you didn't like Endgame or Ixis Naugus or the stuff in between?? 41-78 are some of the best of sonic's series! |

i sort of place endgame and naugus in with the classics. i count the middle era when sonic adventure started getting tied in and ending with the
"home" arc. basically i enjoyed everything from #30- the end of the naugus arc with mecha madness standing out ever so slightly as my fave

For me, it would be SS6 [Endgame] and Heart Held Hostage. SS6 for the mere reason that they took one of the most climatic issues of "classic" Sonic,
and made it better. Heart Held Hostage because in these two issues, not only was the art kick ass, but the character development was phenominal. Course, in two
issues that development was wasted, but still, none the less, it happened. TT__TT

I believe that they were issues 122-123. (124-125 was the two-issue milestone)

I'll add the Destruction of Knothole arc (#175-#177) to what I previously stated back in 2006. So epic.

Welp, given that the forum is merged now, I can use this as a Fleetway discussion.
To which, there are too many to pick, but the obvious winner would be the issue 100 tie-in, where Sonic, Knuckles and "Sonic's World" had 4 issue storyarchs leading to issue 100 where the entire comic was used as a finale for the 3 plots. The story was the big turning point of StC where Robotnik was knocked from power, Super Sonic was defeated (and able to get his own spin-off story later on), Sonic returned to Mobius, Emerald Hill folk left Floating Island and such. Of course, without Robotnik in power, the majority of the post-100 stuff was a little lacking. Had some good moments, though. Robotnik becoming a god in 123 was epic, and the Drakon Empire stuff was kind of cool... |

I really need to read Fleetway somehow. The more I hear of it, the more I like it.

Knuckles used the grey Chaos Emerald to suck the power out of him, shrinking him greatly. Felt it was kinda anti climatic myself.

I love issue #51 of all time. It stands out from the regular issues. I hope they do something like that again. Though it took us (well, at least me) forever to
find out who sent the freakin' VR medal.
Though I thought it was Ixis Naugus, it turned out to be Robo-Robotnik (Dr. Eggman).

^ It was supposed to be the person who gave Sonic the medal. Of course, that was changed when the ending to Endgame was changed.

yeah. it took me like three years to figure out who sent it. it was actually in a sonic-grams letter.

That's not the ending he means, DL. We were supposed to see Sally acting weirder and weirder after #50 - with her driving a wedge between Sonic and the
other FFs and nobody suspecting except Tails - until we found out a year or so down the line that she was just another auto-automaton and the real Sally
did die during Endgame. This would've pushed Sonic and Tails closer
together, disbanded the FFs and was ultimately meant to turn the continuity more towards a SegaSonic style.
The fake Sally was supposed to be who boobytrapped Sonic's medal in #51 - there was still wrangling when that went to press over whether the storyline was going to go through or not, because ultimately Sega stepped in and vetoed it because they had marketing plans for Sally of their own, and the culprit's identity had to be changed as an afterthought.

Though I must say that the past ten issues were also my fave too (guess I don't just have one fave issue). I liked how Ian brought back The Destructix for
several issues + also Scourge and the anti-freedom fighters. Good storylines.

Well, I have to say, the most memorable for me was Dark Alliance. It still counts as my favorite, though to be fair, for more recent, I loved Return to Angel
Island.

I think the issues around 118-130 were some of my absolute favorite ones. I especially liked the one where sonic had to fight his evil supersonic clone in
issue 126.
