Man. Breezie was the last character I expected to come back. Does she and Sonic have a history in this universe or will they meet for the first time?

[Ryannumber1gamer]

OH MY GOD. A NICOLE UNIVERSE ARC?! THANK YOU IAN!

Edit:Oh and look closely on the normal #268 cover. You'll find a little ''sweet'' character who is heavily requested.

[Xeric]

Honey, Breezie AND a Nicole arc?!

I'm in heaven.

SO IAN WHEN ARE WE GETTING TIARA? 8D

[TheFatPanda]

Breezie?! That was unexpected :D

[Ryannumber1gamer]

Sonic and The Freedom Fighters-Have a destroyed world, goes and fights in a tourney.

[DarkEnerjak7]

Looks like we're getting Honey too!

[dnavarre]

I wonder why the variant says "Champions 1/2" while the standard says "1/4."

[The KKM]

Nicole's arc revisiting Chaotix, should be noted.

[TheFatPanda]

Dunno why you didn't include them, but the same comicvine article also has Sonic Boom #3, Super Digest #10, Super Special Magazine #13 and Sonic Select #10.

Speaking of the Digest: no Origins story?

[RadRed89]

Looks like we're getting that Sonic the Fighters arc a little sooner than I thought. I'm down. It'll be pretty fun to see what Honey the Cat will be like in the comic. I hope Knuckles will be in this story arc too. It'd be great to see him and Sonic duke it out like old times.

I don't recognize the name of the artist for this story though. Who's Diana Skelly?

And a story arc focused on Nicole? Can't say I saw that coming. I was honestly expecting Silver to be the next on tap for a story arc after we finished up with Knuckles and Shadow. But I won't complain, since this sounds interesting. Any story with Big in it is bound to bring a smile to my face. His face on that cover is already cracking me up. :(hearty laughter):

But...umm...who is Breezie the Hedgehog? I feel like I should know who that is. Is she from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog?

[TheFatPanda]

But...umm...who is Breezie the Hedgehog? I feel like I should know who that is. Is she from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog?

Yes.

[DarkEnerjak7]

I can't even right now. A Nicole arc, Honey and Brezzie being introduced, and those issue covers for StH, SB, and SU.
I'm just so excited!

[Adamis]

Breezie (AoStH) and Honey ? I love you, Ian.

[jm0364]

Ian........before I go on a happy rave. Let me ask: Is Honey just a cover thing...or an ACTUAL PART of the arc?! O.O
