"Mobius: 25 Years Later - Moment of Truth": The popular series-within-a-series... and the very future itself... takes center stage as our heroes valiantly try to repair the ripped rift in time! Using a long departed evil doctor's greatest unused device, can even the combined might and intellect of King Sonic, Guardian Knuckles, and the scientific geniuses Rotor and Cobar, be enough to fix time... in time?! And what part does a mysterious stowaway have to play in this saga? No fan of the Sonic mythos should miss this one!

As Knuckles repositions his discolored hat (a full year and nobody has yet to fix this error?!), he gets a visit from a rather nervous Lara whom Knuckles was expecting. Knuckles decides to give his ego a rest and finally give Lara the ultimate present that'll last till her next birthday and Christmas: a chance for her to be a Guardian. Lara shows her expression and gratitude by leaping into her father's arms and quickly berates him with questions (Archimedes is still alive and kickin', but possibly insanely old now). Knuckles tells her to calm down and be patient as he has a mission to fulfill first. In case he doesn't make it back, Knuckles already has Julie-Su handle all the Guardianship stuff. Lara is a bit concerned about her perfect plan to be a guardian that she doesn't seem to give a damn that her father might possibly die. She does want to go, but Julie-Su seemingly pops out of nowhere, having heard of what Knuckles would be doing. Julie is pretty durn pissed on his leaving, but he works that ol' echidna charm and she falls for it, hook, line, and sinker. Oh, Julie-Su, what happen to ya, girl? You used to be so resistance.
Julie points out to Harry who's conveniently parked out near the house. As we pass a Spyro ad, Sally tells Knuckles to keep an eye on Sonic and Knuckles can only give an 'I'll try' attitude. Knuckles then wonders where his daughter split off to. She pulled a Houdini and split, possibly upset she isn't coming along for the ride. If anyone should have figured out from all the previews of a 'stowaway' and cliches with the adults' kids always tagging along for the adventure by hiding out in secret, then you know where she'd be.
Knuckles boards Harry's ride, Harry complains, and they make it to an airport where we see some thunder and lightning as the heroes leave Angel Island (about time we gots some bad weather!). They have a talk with the old timers of science before Knuckles interrupts, gasping that they're in the Mobius Badlands which took a major bad turn for the worst. Donning space age radiation suits, the heroes go down a tunnel and into another video game ad, this time for Sly 2 (I recently played a demo and the game exceeds my expectations, considering the first game was so good, I'll be buying this sometime in my life), and to a neon colored shelter Eggy built some years back from enemies/weapons. Convenient. Does it come with free cable TV and the internet? Eggman never seem to have the chance to use the device the heroes will use to travel back in time. Shame, he could have done some real damage. Rotor makes it clear that he's 99.9% sure that the machine will work, but points out that the heroes might not have a chance to return back. Sonic doesn't give a crap and being the usual act-before-think type, decides to go, no question. That's an order, soldier!
Meanwhile, back in the airship, someone climbs out of a futuristic box that looks like it could be good use for a time capsule...or storing house cleaning mops and brooms, either ones. So, any guesses who should pop out of that capsule? If you didn't say Lara-Su, you obviously haven't seen many TV shows, read many comic books, etc. One of the oldest clich where the heroes' children come along for the ride in secret. She gets out of the time capsule box and starts to disappear much like her pops did in Knuckles #8. Sucks.
Meanwhile, Sonic is also disappearing as the machine goes haywire. Sucks once more. We get the traditional big flash of light and soon cut to the present...er...past with teenager Sonic skipping stones with Tails with another panel for Knuckles and the Chaotix, all of them predictably thinking of the future.

ALSO: "Love and Loss": Sonic and Sally, Antoine and Bunnie Rabbot - their romantic upheavals have worried fans more than wondering when the next Dr. Robotnik or Dark Legion attack is coming. Now with there future uncertain, where does that leave our heartbroken Freedom Fighters? These questions of love, loss, and yes, laughter, will finally be addressed in this poignant, charming tale.

After much waiting, we FINALYY get an issue that substantially ends the love triangle/square/googolplex, if not temporarily for a long time. I'll talk further down the review.
Dusk settles in Knothole City and the bear in the local newspaper stand is having a nice warm drink until he gets the latest batch of newspaper. Shouting like a newsies member, the newspaper sell like hotcakes from screaming fan girls who has nothing better to do then obsess over the love column. The poor bear man is scarred for life and questions why the newspaper is so damn popular. Little cute kid Sasha explains how the newspaper is famous for the 'Love and Loss' section made by a girl named Aly. She then makes her leave, skipping a beat with lollipop and cute dress and all (while the bear talks behind her back as the bird on top of his hat might be building a nest or pooping on it as I type), making her way to Rosie who also has her hand on a 'Love and Loss' Column.
Inside, she asks Rosie about the love column and she makes it a 'woman's night' and read the column together, and so they do.
First letter comes from Bunnie Rabbot who basically explains how much pain she's in. The poor girl is literally in pain, true pain. The picture emphasizes a lot of what she's feeling. Right now, she's bursting in hysterical tears and she just can't seem to pull herself together. It's insanely understandably as her relationship with Antoine was one of the tightest and strongest bond in the Archie Sonic comic. A successful couple now taken up the lead so far with Knuckles and Julie-Su (although I wouldn't be surprised if she wrote a letter about being slightly jealous whenever Rouge is around him). Aly responds by doing the opposite of what both Bunnie and Antoine are doing: Talk, if not by force. Although it's a moot point for the time being considering Anty is away with the King and Queen on their world tour. Aly ultimately in the end tells her to be strong, but the way Bunnie is handling it, not even her physical strengths can help her now.
Next letter is Songbird Mina. Her basic problem is that while she tries to move on with life, her mind still is stuck with Sonic. It seems she was with Ash mainly as a sort of gap to feel her broken wound when Sonic and Sal kissed all the way back in #123, but with Sonic single, Mina would like to try and win him back, but of course, she can't because guilt is holding her back, Yea, that guilt, always holds us back. And common sense and decent morals, etc. Aly basically responds back by saying be honest and give Ash more chance to grow and develop. Barring that in mind, Mina calls Ash (interrupting his sleep, the nerve!), and asks for a night out with the two. Ash, NOT looking like he wants to kill somebody and actually looking quite cute (every time I see Ash, I either see the Remington I always draw or my friend at school, Ryan who looks exactly like him, it's scary) and content.
Third letter is none other then Amy Rose who talks of her crush on Sonic and how she has matured greatly, possible enough to try and win his heart, Aly sez, 'You still needs to do some growin', kiddo.' Amy takes this with a grain of salt and basketball shoots the newspaper after crumbling it. A reaction I'd expect Amy to do.
The fourth letter has all the previous girls reading it and instantly knowing it's Sally's letter. Her basic problem is how Sonic and her jobs are too different, different to the point that they broke up as a result. She wonders who's more selfish, Sonic or herself. Aly responds by merely saying she doesn't have the answer, both with valid points. Just have fun, be strong, and live, talk, etc.
We now cut to Sally inside her castle home where she chats with Nicole who explains that no more decoy letters be used. Sal merely used it as a cover up of some sorts. If you haven't figured it out, Aly is Sally, the started of the 'Love and Loss' column. And apparently very good at keeping her identity a secret. I was stumped on who Aly was until the end, thinking she was some random Archie character we?d never see again despite that Aly and Sally rhymes. Yes, I'm either too dumb or just getting bad at noticing the little stuff anymore.
Sally, chatting with Nicole explains of her love for Sonic. She loves him, yes, but she ultimately decides to move on forth as she loves her people more. And that's the end of that story. Oh, yea, and that last letter for those who don't know is Rosie talking about Uncle Chuck. Awwww.
