 * Previous Issue ←—→ Next Issue

Archie Sonic the Hedgehog issue 206 was the two-hundred and sixth issue of the main Sonic the Hedgehog comic series.

Story One
"On the Run" - Part Two:

Sonic and Tails face off against the full might of the Iron Dominion! The prize: the addled Dr. Eggman! Will Sonic let his most feared nemesis fall into the hands of these new, unpredictable foes? Are they even willing to deal?!

Story Two
"Birthright" - Part Two:

After calling her to his lab, Dimitri discusses to Lien-Da about what he discovered: while the microchips blocked the detonation signal of the Dark Legion's cybernetics as it should, it would also leave the Dark Legion under the control of The Iron Queen's magitek powers, as her mindless pawns. Dimitri shows Lien-Da that he has created some resistance in one of the chips. Lien-da then questions if they could further the advancement of the single chip and use it to override the control with a single thought. Though Dimitri admits that it could work in theory, he admits that he wouldn't do that to his people.

Off Panel
Continuing the gag from the previous issue's Off Panel, Sonic and the Iron Queen are facing off when suddenly Dr. Eggman bursts onto the scene in his El Gran Gordo persona. The Iron Queen is surprised, saying that "this wasn't in the script" and fleeing. Sonic then tells Eggman that he can't be that character. When Dr. Eggman asks why not, Sonic explains that the joke would make no sense to readers who had not read the Sonic X comics, Eggman falling onto his back and shouting about continuity being his "one weakness".

Fan Funnies
Sonic is looking at Knuckles who is on the floor with a bowl of popcorn overturned ontop of his head. Sonic says that he had left the room for only "five seconds" and asks what happened, Knuckles answering that there had been a "scary part" in the movie he was watching, Sonic replying that the movie was about "unicorns and rainbows".
