Summary
The story begins with Sonic having a fight with Dr. Eggman in one of his mechs on the beach. As they trash-talk with each other in the heat of battle, Tails comes to Sonic's aid and they team up against Eggman. Soon after, Knuckles and Amy join in the battle too, and together they manage to defeat Eggman's mech. The four of them then make it back to the shore and watch Eggman retreat to his base, when suddenly Sticks comes running in panic and Sonic tells her to relax (Sticks is unnerved that Sonic said her name as a logo, but Sonic explains it is a first issue gimmick and that they will be back to regular letters next month). Moving on, Sticks reveals Tails' house had been robbed and Tails worries about what was taken. However, when Sticks takes the gang to Tails' house, they discover that it is gone: what Sticks meant was that Tails' whole house had been stolen, much to Tails' shock and confusion. Sticks explains that Tails' house was carried off on the head of a "cyborg rock golem" that came from underground which makes Sonic suspect Eggman.

Trivia

 * The artwork style (specifically the shading, outline, etc.) of the main cover strongly resembles that of the concept artwork of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy for Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
 * This issue has a total of four variant covers, the largest number of any Sonic-related comics published by Archie Comics so far.
 * All four variant covers are interconnecting.
 * Dr. Eggman's pose on the main cover is the exact same he is shown with in the debut TV trailer for Sonic Boom.
 * The characters saying the others character's names as logos is similar to the earlier issues in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series where the characters would say Sonic's name as a logo on the first pages of each issue.
