A stormy night. A plane crash. A deserted island--or so it seems. Sonic and Tails find themselves castaways, surrounded by robots hardwired to target them!

That's no island—it's the weathered hulk of the Death Egg, and it's crawling with scrapped, rusted, and malfunctioning Badniks! Each and every one of them was created by Eggman to destroy that meddlesome hedgehog, but the mad doctor left other creations as well. Lethal, personal, familiar creations.

What other secrets does the crumbling battle station hold? Are all of Eggman's monsters doomed to follow their programming, or can they step out of their maker's shadow? And where can a hungry ’hog get a chili dog around here?

Writer Daniel Barnes (The Black Mage, Aggretsuko) presents a nail-biting new Sonic adventure, full of fears and gears, with shadowy, shocking art by IDW Sonic veteran Jack Lawrence (Transformers: Wreckers—Tread & Circuits).
Daniel Barnes is a writer and anime enjoyer from Fresno, CA. His previous comics include The Black Mage (an original graphic novel) and Aggretsuko, both of which are published by Oni Press. He also works as a full-time narrative designer at ArenaNet, on Guild Wars 2. Currently residing in the Pacific Northwest, Daniel likes collecting '90s gaming memorabilia, hitting the gym, and going on long walks outside (when it isn’t raining, which is rare).
