Sonic the Hedgehog #158 features two main storylines:
- System Reconfiguration: Dr. Eggman's control over Mecha is overridden by an outside source, likely Snively assisting the Kingdom of Acorn. Eggman uses his Phase Inverter to regain control, and Mecha reveals she was last with Shadow and Metal Sonic. Meanwhile, Sonic and Rotor battle Metal Sonic Troopers, who were created by Uncle Chuck and Rotor as a replacement for Sonic after his disappearance. Shadow joins forces with Eggman, revealing they're both grieving over Maria's loss.
- Insider Treading: Sonic meets with Mike Pellerito when a shadowy figure named Blackstage appears, revealing comic book industry secrets. Blackstage shows the making of memorable effects, like Sonic's hand being made invisible in Sonic the Hedgehog #50. Despite initial outrage, Mike and Sonic notice fans enjoying the revelations.
