The second issue of Archie’s Super Sonic Special magazine has launched today, and while the issue itself contained nothing but reprints, interviews and a timeline, the next issue looks like it’ll be stepping things up a bit. With issue 3, which is expected to launch this Spring, Archie will be including an all new adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 2! Archie is no stranger to video game adaptions, but this super special will mark the first time since Super Sonic Special #13’s Sonic Adventure special that Archie has made a video game adaption the central storyline in a comic!
More interesting is how Archie promotes the issue: “Sonic’s hottest new game is getting the comic book treatment!” Archie typically releases their adaptions around the same time as the game their adapting, meaning that this could indicate a Spring release for the next episode of Sonic 4! This is, of course, all speculation, but Archie releasing an early adaption of Sonic 4 would be unusual. We’ll hopefully learn how accurate this speculation is soon enough.

I like the part about Sonic.
Wish they’d include new content in those specials..there’s like 7 different archie things on shelves and I have it all already
Spring for Episode 2 thou? Yes please
Let it be true, please, unless the game has not improved from episode 1,then delay the comic and game
That’s funny, I thought Archie was a family friendly comic, I wouldn’t have thought they’d be able to do an adaptation of shit?
Well E2 isn’t out yet, so we don’t know if it’s “shit” yet.
The game is out, I have no doubt the comic will be good, but the game sucks a truck of monkeys balls.
still amazes me how quick people are to judge.

Well that’s interesting. I like the artwork here for some reason. I haven’t been drawn specifically to any of the Sonic artwork in a while so idky I am now. But something about it gives off a special vibe.
I can’t believe that little scan I posted on Bumbleking is showing up on every Sonic-related news site I go to.
And btw, The-Master-Board, your negative feedback is why SEGA’s even making the games in the first place, so keep on bashing and we’ll get more Sonic games.
Huh? You don’t make much sense.
Quantity is NOT equal to quality anyway. You might want shitty rip offs of older GOOD Sonic games, with crap physics, but I don’t.
I’d rather they make good games like Sonic generations.
I never said anything about “shitty ripoffs”….WTF dude…
This is’nt a shitty ripoff, if anyones shitty its you.
um….good comeback?
