UPDATE: SEGA ends Sonic and Archie Comic partnership

image.jpeg

For 24 years, Archie Comics' and Sonic the Hedgehog have been partnered to create the longest-running video game comic series. However, after a hiatus that started earlier this year, SEGA of America has announced that the two will be parting ways. The current comic series will be ending, but SEGA said future endeavors are planned for Sonic comics, with a new team behind it. The series started in 1993, and has more than 300 issues, with multiple side series and spinoffs.

UPDATE: SEGA is going with IDW Publishing for further installments of Sonic Comics.

Is there anywhere to actually read Sonic The Comic in order? Online? Tried searching before but never found anywhere.

ANyway, ontopic, a shame, I remember finding just 1 copy of Sonic The Comic back a number of years ago, must have been about 8. Had an absolutely WICKED Metal Sonic poster in it. Never saw it irl after that again.

Everything has their own comic series either from official sources or third party. (Hentai comics or fan comics excluded) It's to be expected. lol

Third party, yeh, everything has it.
However first party...

I loved these growing up. I only got about half of the comics I paid for when I ordered them from the company, but whatcha gonna do. I still have first issues somewhere in storage. Wonder if they'll be worth anything...

Well it's really a shame to hear this news, but I can't say I'm surprised. The writing was on the wall for some time, really.
At least it didn't end in the middle of any important story arc or anything. It was just recapping the stories of some of the games in the original game trilogy, with only the Sonic 3 & Knuckles adaptation missing.

Kind of a fitting note to go out on, I guess.

Hopefully for people who might not know about the comics this video will help somewhat.




At the very least, we have 300+ comic issues to read through.

I love the Archie Comics; the story, art, everything had so much effort put into it.
It actually got me hooked, and I couldn't stop reading; all because the stories were so intense.
Only if SEGA would learn from the Comics, and make a story that's more serious toned, action packed, and dramatic.
Not some goodie too-shoed (Roger Craig Smith) Sonic style. I like it when Characters are on the brink of loss, and are almost hopeless.
Hell, Sonic has lost in the Comics. Unlike your normal protagonist.
