File Island holds many secrets...and dangers! It's a good thing the kids have their awesome Digimon pals if things get too rough! In this issue, Joe steps up to the plate to lead the group, but it might be more than he can handle. Joe has to climb all the way to the top of Infinity Mountain without knowing what bad Digimon might be waiting. It's a good thing Gomamon decides to follow. Once the Black Gears take control of wise Unimon, Gomamon must digivolve into mighty (and woolly!) Ikkakumon to save the day. But will it be enough? "Digimon -- it's beating out Pokémon at T.V., and there's tons of toys on the way -- could Digimon be unstoppable?" --Toyfare magazine

Leomon, a mighty and noble Digimon, is struck by a Black Gear, making him a slave to Devimon, sinister overlord of the evil Digimon. Devimon orders his henchman Ogremon and Leomon to attack the "DigiDestined" kids and their Digimon counterparts. Can the kids and their Digimon hold up to the onslaught of such powerful adversaries? Can Leomon be turned back to good before he is lost forever to the dark plans of Devimon? These questions and more are answered in "Evil Shows His Face."

Adrift at sea, Joe and Gomamon are attacked by the horrible Ogremon, but Gomamon digivolves into Ikkakumon to fight back! The floundering duo are rescued by Sora and Biyomon, but the biggest trials await them as they come upon a group of seemingly human followers who worship the evil ghost Digimon -- Bakemon! Can Ikkakumon and Birdramon defeat the vile creature? Or does victory lie with Joe and Sora's clever plan? * Join Dark Horse twice a month for the exciting adventures of the Digital Monsters who are taking the world's kids by storm!

T.K. and his Digi-sidekick Patamon, still separated from the others and wandering through the shattered File Island, arrive at Primary Village, which is full of bright colors, fun shapes -- and lots of Baby Digimon! But when Elecmon, the caretaker of the Baby Digimon and Digieggs, shows up, Patamon has to go toe-to-toe with the belligerent babysitter. Will the battling Digimon learn to settle their differences constructively and through their cooperation help return File Island to its normal state? Not if the sinister Devimon has anything to say about it!
