ROAD TRIP!!! Sonic’s friends hit the pavement for some much needed R&R after months of constant excitement, but a hero's work is never done!

Amy, Jewel, Tangle, and Belle are heading off on a well-deserved camping trip. Between Dr. Eggman, Dr. Starline, and the Deadly Six, life has been stressful, so they’re hoping to get a little peace. Unfortunately, a dangerous wildfire has other plans. Can our heroines extinguish the flames—and the group tension—before it burns out of control?

Then, the Chaotix are on the case! Central City has been turned upside down by unmanageable traffic and bizarre elemental upsets, but Vector, Espio, and Charmy are sure to uncover the truth. Plus, Sonic, Tails, and Belle may have found a way to free the Badniks from Eggman’s control, but a sudden interruption forces the team to prepare for their greatest challenge yet!

Evan Stanley grew up homeschooled in Santa Cruz, California, exploring the woods near her house and drawing whenever she could. At 13, she got hooked on the Sonic the Hedgehog game series, which inspired her to start creating her own comic books... and she hasn't stopped! Evan began working professionally in comics at 18, while pursuing a BFA in 3D Character Animation. After graduation, she worked at Sony Playstation as an animator before settling in to doing comics full-time. She currently lives with her partner in San Mateo, California. When she's not working, you can find her hiking, reading, gaming, or hunting ghosts.
