JUGHEAD & FRIENDS DIGEST #23
“The Real World?”: Finally, a scientific invention that can truly aid the entire free world: Dilton’s “infinite closet!” Once Jughead sees it, the possibilities his mind conjures are infinite, too… and inevitably, he falls right in before Dilton’s warnings reach his ears! Hurtling through the void, Jughead lands smack dab in the middle of a comic book company – Archie Comic Publications, to be exact! What will all the writers and artists do when they find their 2-D creation has literally broken through the “fourth wall” and entered their 3-dimensional world? It’s a story that could only be told in… you guessed it… a comic book!

SONIC X #24
“Camera Hog”: When Sonic, Knuckles, Amy and Tails give an entertaining and astonishing demonstration of their amazing abilities on Station Square TV, Eggman is watching! Actually, he does more than watch – a mysterious new robot he has created downloads all of their abilities… along with a few extra talents it witnesses. Of course, Eggman plans to send the souped-up robot out to destroy our star-struck heroes. Can Knothole Village’s media darlings possibly defeat an enemy that does all they can do and more?
