(W) Ian Flynn (A) Thomas Rothlisberger (CA) Mauro Fonseca Rivals, fakers, and doppelg?ngers have been scourges to Sonic for years, but Dr. Starline's newest creations pose an entirely new threat. New challengers Surge and Kit were designed for a single purpose: to replace Sonic and Tails as the world's greatest heroes! And that means it's not just the Blue Blur and his friends who should be wary-Dr. Eggman better watch out too! But has Dr. Starline gone too far this time?

On a recon mission with the new Diamond Cutters-Tangle, Whisper, and Lanolin-Sonic discovers that the Eggperial City is harnessing the resources around it to grow ever larger. The Diamond Cutters are still getting the hang of working together which leads to trouble when they get trapped. Alone against an army of badniks and a self-replicating city, Sonic calls for back-up and gets more than he bargained for: Tails, Amy, Blaze, and Silver all answer the call, but Shadow, Rouge, and Omega arrive for their own reasons too!

The island, as always, has a few surprises in store for them as they catch up. Meanwhile, Mimic is putting together the purrfect disguise to infiltrate the Restoration, and Silver is left to his own devices at Restoration HQ. Sonic himself has joined Blaze on a trip around the world where they will see all the sights to be seen! Collecting IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog #62-66.
