Sonichu #0 is the first issue of Christian Weston Chandler's magnum opus. At this initial stage, the comic was almost entirely about Sonichu and Rosechu, although bits of Chris's life still managed to find their way in.The "hand-drawn premiere issue" is a special zero issue. In the comics industry, zero issues are used as either a sales-enhancing gimmick (Image Comics is a notable user of this) or a special preview of work that will not truly begin until issue #1.

But the players and coaches of the 1999-2000 St. Louis Rams shared one common mission: to win the Super Bowl. They showed up for work every day, they did their jobs and did them well. They believed in something almost no one else did. Themselves. They worked through adversity and trusted in their teammates to step up when it counted most. Week in and week out, the Rams executed their plan...
