In July, Archie returns to those 16-bit days with the "Sonic: Mega Drive" one-shot - "Mega Drive" being the Japanese name for the Sega Genesis, the first system a "Sonic" game appeared on - as a celebration of the character's 25th anniversary, and CBR has the exclusive first details. You can check out all of today’s released art of the upcoming comic in our gallery below.The partnership between Sega's "Sonic the Hedgehog" and Archie Comics is one of the longest-running and most fruitful licensed deals in comics history, resulting in hundreds of issues based on the high-speed video game mascot since 1993's "Sonic the Hedgehog" #1. “Sonic: Mega Drive #1” will debut July 6th, with “The Next Level” following further into 2016. That would be awesome and we are totally down to do it at Sonic speed! Lovallo also touches briefly on the possibility of an Archie adaption of an upcoming anniversary title – which they’d be more than down for. The adventure will take Sonic to new lands, and shed some light on the “the bonds he has made with his friends in previous games”.
Written by Archie Sonic veteran Ian Flynn and art by Tyson Hesse, the story is said to combine “traditional comic storytelling with the structure of an actual Sonic game” with potential for an ongoing series if demand is there. Though no specifics were shared, the comic will pick up immediately after the events of Mega Drive #1 and potentially feature Metal Sonic as the antagonist, as teased in the cover debut.
Sonic must take on Eggman once more to destroy his new machine of destruction – The MEGADRIVE.Īs well as debuting first images of the issue, Lovallo also revealed Mega Drive #1 will be followed by another special, titled “The Next Level”. The new one-shot special, created especially to celebrate Sonic’s 25th Anniversary, takes readers back in time to Sonic’s classic days set after the Death Egg saga. In an interview with Sonic Archie comics editor Vincent Lovallo, IGN have revealed a first look at the upcoming Sonic: Mega Drive comic – and a follow up issue debuting later in the year, “Sonic: Mega Drive – The Next Level”.
