Official solicitation

 * “The Fate of Dr. Eggman,” Part 2. Dr. Eggman has been located, but Sonic’s not the only one to find him! When Shadow comes, whose side will Sonic be on?!?

Synopsis
Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat have arrived to eliminate the seemingly reformed, amnesiac Dr. Eggman (now going by the name "Mr. Tinker"). Standing around the nervous Eggman, however, are the Chaotix and Sonic. Sonic drastically attempts to stop Shadow and Rouge from advancing by trying to explain the situation. He tells the duo that though Dr. Eggman mentioned Eggman Land, he has completely lost his memory and cannot engage in his heinous acts any longer. Shadow disregards this, believing that amnesia doesn't make one any less dangerous. Sonic tries to convince Shadow further but Shadow angrily shoves him aside. Sonic points out that he was not listening and continues to prevent Shadow from reaching Eggman. Eventually, though, Shadow has enough and tries pushing Sonic away.

Continuity

 * Shadow and Rouge arrived in Sonic the Hedgehog #5, "The Fate of Dr. Eggman Part 1", to eliminate Dr. Eggman.
 * Dr. Eggman's mention of Eggman Land in Sonic the Hedgehog #5, "The Fate of Dr. Eggman Part 1", is brought up.
 * Sonic mentions what he and the Chaotix have concluded about Dr. Eggman's amnesia, something which they settled on in Sonic the Hedgehog #5, "The Fate of Dr. Eggman Part 1".

Trivia

 * The name icons for the characters that appear in this issue are drawn in the same style as the one used for Sonic's name on his [[media:SA1 M d1.png|promotional artwork]] for Sonic Adventure.
 * Shadow's comment about the fact that Eggman losing his memory did not make him less dangerous is quite ironic considering the events of the game Shadow the Hedgehog.
