Sonic the Hedgehog: "Cream's Courage" – A Six-Issue Arc
(W) Ian Flynn (A) Adam Bryce Thomas (CA) Various
Issue #1 – "A Gentle Hero"
When an unexpected Badnik uprising threatens a peaceful village, Cream the Rabbit and Cheese step up to help the citizens evacuate. But when Vanilla gets caught in the chaos, Cream refuses to back down, showing a determination that surprises even her closest friends. With Amy and Tails arriving to assist, the battle against the rogue machines intensifies. As the dust settles, an ominous signal from the wreckage hints that this attack wasn’t random—someone is pulling the strings. Will Cream’s unwavering kindness and courage be enough to protect those she loves, or is this just the beginning of something much larger?
Issue #2 – "Flight or Fight"
As the battle against the Badniks rages on, Cream and Cheese take to the skies—literally! With Tails providing air support, they board a rogue Egg Carrier that has been mysteriously reactivated. But what seems like a simple mission to shut it down turns into a perilous adventure when they discover the ship isn't as abandoned as they thought. Strange signals indicate something—or someone—is still inside, operating the systems from the shadows. Meanwhile, Sonic races across the landscape, trying to track down the mastermind behind the sudden attack, only to find himself one step behind at every turn. As Cream proves she's more than just a bystander, will she and her friends be able to stop the ship before it reaches its unknown destination?
Issue #3 – "Trapped in the Storm"
A sudden malfunction in the carrier sends it spiraling out of control, crashing into an uncharted jungle zone! Stranded in an eerie, overgrown forest, Cream and Cheese must navigate its dangers while protecting a group of villagers who were caught in the wreckage. But something lurks deep within the shadows—an ancient, forgotten force that seems drawn to Cream’s presence. With Amy and Tails working to repair communications and contact Sonic, Cream finds herself stepping into a leadership role like never before. As they search for a way out, they quickly realize the jungle itself may not let them leave so easily. What secrets lie hidden in this mysterious place, and how does it all connect to the larger threat looming over them?
Issue #4 – "Echoes of Metal"
The forest isn’t as abandoned as it seems. Deep within its heart, an old E-Series robot has awakened, its last directive unclear and its memories corrupted by time. As Cream and her friends cautiously approach, they discover that this machine isn’t like the others—it remembers something, something important. But before they can piece it together, Eggman’s forces arrive, determined to reclaim what’s his. With Sonic and Amy still trying to reach them, Cream is forced to make a difficult choice: does she run, or does she stand her ground? As the battle unfolds, the E-Series robot begins to recall its past, and its connection to Cream may be deeper than anyone realizes. Will she be able to reach its heart before it’s too late, or will Eggman turn it against them?
Issue #5 – "Breaking the Chains"
As Eggman’s forces close in, Cream finds herself face-to-face with the E-Series machine, its programming fighting against its own buried memories. Refusing to see it as just another enemy, Cream reaches out, trying to break through its mechanical heart with kindness rather than destruction. But Eggman isn’t about to let his creation be swayed so easily, activating its combat protocols and forcing it into a battle it doesn’t fully understand. Meanwhile, Sonic and Tails arrive just in time to take on Eggman’s reinforcements, but the real fight isn’t physical—it’s emotional. Cream’s belief in peace is put to the ultimate test as she tries to free the robot from its chains, proving once and for all that true strength doesn’t always come from power, but from compassion.
Issue #6 – "Heart of a Hero"
The battle reaches its peak as Cream, alongside Cheese and her friends, stands against Eggman’s final push to reclaim the E-Series robot. Just as all hope seems lost, something shifts—the robot hesitates, its programming overrun by the kindness it has witnessed. With one final act, it defies its creator, turning against Eggman and aiding in his defeat. As the dust settles, Sonic and the others acknowledge Cream’s incredible bravery, realizing that her heart and determination changed the course of the battle. As the team departs, Cream reflects on the journey, knowing that even the smallest hero can make the biggest impact. But as the jungle falls silent once more, a single light flickers in the distance—proof that some battles never truly end.
