Sonic The Hedgehog #256

It's the dramatic conclusion to the epic 'Countdown to Chaos' saga! In Part Four, it's a race against time as the countdown reaches its thrilling end! Metal Sonic is out to kill Sally and the Death Egg II has launched-things are not going well for our true blue hero! Can he and Tails get to the Aquatic Ruins Zone in time to save the day? And what horrifying discovery awaits Dr. Eggman? You definitely won't want to miss this earth-shattering climax of the storyline that shook the Sonic comic books to the core! Featuring the final adjoining cover in the series from artist Ben Bates, and a special 'end of the world' variant cover from Tracy Yardley!

Jump aboard the action as we begin the 'Shadow Fall' saga! Team Dark is sent into the deep, dark depths of space to stop the approach of the Black Comet! It hasn't even been fifty years! The Black Comet is home to an evil, violent race of aliens known as The Black Arms, but the Black Arms were defeated months ago - so who are these new alien invaders inhabiting the comet sent to consume the earth? And what sinister new villain awaits Shadow in its depths? You cannot miss this gritty, alien-blasting new storyline with art from Jamal Peppers, and cover art from Tracy Yardley! Plus a killer Shadow variant cover from T. Rex!

Awesome.

I like how they're incorporating stuff from the GENESIS Wave plots. Aquatic Ruin wasn't a featured zone in the GENESIS Arc. Hopefully, we'll see other non-featured zones like SpringYard Zone. Also, In the crossover with MegaMan, Sonic mentioned that him and tails were going to go on the mission to The Mystic Ruins. Guess where they're travelling in issue 253.

Do you honestly think that Sally will be killed by a Metal Sonic? After the Freedom Fighter's return after a 2 year absence?

Not really... But the thing is SEGA doesnt want them and they have seemingly gotten more involved recently.

 

I dont think it will happen(them getting killed) but i just hope Sonic and Sally get back together

Why is it when I look at Sally on this cover the pink version from the pilot Heads or Tails comes to mind? Shape of her head/eyes?

The color on Sonic is awful. He looks like a sticker.

That's not a bad thing, is it? I mean, out of all the redesigns Sally's gotten over the years, her original pilot design was the closest to matching the official Sonic look nowadays.

I start to notice Sally's design gets better the more I see her. What about you, LogiTeeka?

I never said it was a "bad thing," just that it reminded of that design. I like this one better than her other redesigns I've seen as of yet. I just hope that one of the artists gives her some curves again.

 

 

*EDIT*

 

After looking at what we've seen so far I think Sally now has a stripe down her back: take a look at her tail in both pictures in 252 and now this cover. I thought it was a shadow, but now I believe she has full-on chipmunk stripes.

I still don't care for it, but as I mentioned somewhere else, I can deal with the changes.  At least the original cast is back so it seems.
