Sonic the Hedgehog Graphic Novels To Be Released |
Ó
If you're a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, from the original Sega Genesis incarnation to his romps on current and next-gen platforms, then you probably know about the comic book series published by Archie Comics. Based on the in-game storylines and the animated continuities Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), and recently, Sonic X, the series became one of the longest-running licensed comics of all time, with the main Sonic the Hedgehog continuity having 165 issues to date. Archie Comics has announced the release two graphic novel compilations of the comic books, taking off from where their last graphic novel, Sonic the Hedgehog: The Beginning left off. Restored and printed on high-quality paper, each 112-page paperback will contain four recolored and remastered issues from the Sonic the Hedgehog series and retell the heroic adventures (and comic misadventures) of Sonic and the Freedom Fighters in their quest to save their world from Dr. Robotnik (or Eggman to the more recent fans).
Sonic the Hedgehog Archives #1 is set for a November 8 release and will contain issues #1-4:
- “Meet Me at the Corner of Hedgehog and Vine” (issue #1): Robotnik unleashes the fury of a mecha-plant within the great forest, and Sonic must defeat it and save his rival for Sally’s attentions, Antoine, at the same time!
- “You Bet My Life” (issue #1): The odds are against Sonic when he crashes the Casino Night Zone only to face the dreaded Orbinaut!
- “Triple Trouble” (issue #2): The terrible trio of Coconuts, Scratch and Grounder ruin a perfectly fine day for Sonic and Tails!
- “Vertigo-a-Go-Go”: Sonic meets the madcap Horizontal and Vertical during an unplanned trip to The Unknown Zone!
- “The Bomb Bugs Me” (issue #3): It’s an intriguing series of subterfuges and dastardly disguises… and a surprise ending, too!
- “Rabbot Deployment” (issue #3): The first comic book appearance of Bunnie Rabbot!
- “Lizard of Odd” (issue #4): The first comic story to feature Super Sonic… and just in time, as the deadly Universalamander threatens everything in sight!
- “Tails Little Tale” (issue #4): The first Tails solo story!
- “Olympic Trials & Error” (issue #5): Robotnik issues an Olympic challenge to the Freedom Fighters. At stake: the restoration of Mobius, or complete Roboticization!
- “Chomp on This, Chump!” (issue #5): Introducing the Termite-nator, an ever-growing consumer of wood… which isn’t so good if you live in Knothole Village!
- “The Spin Doctor” (issue #6): the action-packed adaptation of Sega’s “Sonic Spinball” video game!
- “Sonic’s Christmas Carol” (issue #6): The timeless tale is transported to Mobius, complete with curmudgeonly Robotnik as Scrooge!
- “Uncle Chuck’s Treasure” (issue #7): The Freedom Fighters find an old map belonging to Uncle Chuck, and it just may hold the key to defeating Robotnik forever!
- “Sorceress in Distress” (issue #7): Sally goes to the Great Forest in search of a suitable wooden staff to complete her Halloween Sorceress costume. When Robotnik comes upon her, he believes Sally to be a real sorceress and kidnaps her with the intention of marrying her!
- “Bots All Folks!” (issue #8): Jealous that one of his lackeys is a closet fan of Sonic, Robotnik unleashes his fury with new ruthless robots to attack the blue blur!
- “A Little Music Goes a Long Way” (issue #8): All Sonic and his friends want to do is make beautiful music, but a certain robotic meanie has other ideas—namely shrinking the mirthful music makers!

Good.. I guess :)
I used to read those all the time as a kid =D I still have issues #47 - #50 which were labelled as "EndGame" for the death or Robotnik. I might buy this =) Can't believe they're on 165 now...
This sure does have to do with the PSP.
Also, the old Sonic comics rock.
If this is PSP news then report about the war in Iraq next. It's just as relevant.
Ooh ooh, I want news about Paris Hilton!
I am the hardcore Sonic fan they mention at the news, but honestly, "If you're a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, from the original Sega Genesis incarnation to his romps on current and next-gen platforms," then you know for a fact that the Archie comics and the other ones are not accurate to the series, and in fact, they instead Americanized Sonic in a way that I truly hate. First of all, Sonic does NOT live in MOBIUS, he lives on EARTH, or a parallel version of it. Also, he DOES NOT eat Chili Dogs... Last, forget Princess Sally, it's Amy Rose his love interest d*** it... Gah, gotta hate it but sc**w it, I might as well read it.
your a moron , Its a good series, the story and character personalities are much more creative than that crappy sonic x, the recent issues are for much older fans , and have fun with your crappy sonic x and your stupid 4kids tv
Will there be naked hedgehogs?
the moron here is you, when did I say Sonic X is good? well you are half wrong and half right: I do like Sonic X, but NOT THE 4KIDS TV version OK? I watch it fan-subbed in Japanese, which is something everyone who watches anime should try once.
0.o ........... i want naked hedgehogs
