Archie Sonic Archives Volume 5

Sonic Archives Volume 5 is the 5th installment of the Sonic Archives and is unique from all the others in that it contains an extra story that had been scrapped many years ago and thus this is the first time this story has been printed to the public.

Everything Old is Newt Again
Dr. Robotnik enhances Universalamander so that Rotor's shrinking ray will make him larger. With the help of Sally's new computer, NICOLE, the freedom fighters are able to shrink Universalamander down to microscopic proportions.

Trivia

 * Alex Kidd makes a cameo on the front cover.
 * King Maximillian Acorn is also a "who's who" in Volume 9
 * In Everything Old is Newt Again Sally's hair is black. She was probably meant to have her old pink and black color pallet, but in this volume they colored her brown.
 * Everything Old is Newt Again was going to be the first comic appearance of NICOLE, but the story was scrapped and NICOLE was introduced later on. A desire to introduce NICOLE differently may have been the reason for not printing this story.
