Archie celebrates 25 years of Sonic the Hedgehog with Sonic: Mega Drive

February 25, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Archie Comics has announced that it is to celebrate 25 years of Sonic the Hedgehog with a special commemorative one-shot issue which will follow Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose on a brand new adventure taking on the villainous Dr. Eggman and his new nefarious tool of destruction – the Mega Drive!

“Not only is Archie Comics celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is also commemorating a milestone anniversary. With 25 years under the Blue Blur’s belt, we wanted to start the celebrations with something truly special,” said Editor Vincent Lovallo. “The goal was to produce a story that hardcore fans would love, but also feel fresh and new for anyone looking to read a Sonic comic for the first time. The result is Sonic: Mega Drive #1. With more surprises on the way for Sonic’s 25th Anniversary, fans are not going to want to miss this epic “Classic Sonic” story.”

Sonic: Mega Drive #1 goes on sale on July 6th.
