Reveal SDCC 2023: Knuckles & Fang 30th Anniversary Special Coming 2024

[Shiny Gems]

IDW shared a surprise announcement during its SDCC 2023 Sonic the Hedgehog panel - a celebration of Fang and Knuckles in a one-shot anniversary special, planned for release next year! 

The reveal was made courtesy of the below photo, which was taken by SDCC 2023 reporter 'FloofToon15' for Twitter account 'IDWSonicNews', shows a teaser image of what to expect - featuring silhouettes of Fang the Hunter (as he's now known we guess) and Knuckles the Echidna, alongside a red '30th' logo.

As 2024 would mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Sonic 3 and Sonic Triple Trouble video games (in which Knuckles and Fang debuted respectively), it's clear that this is going to be a very special comic indeed.

No other details were revealed about this particular match-up, although if it follows IDW's previous anniversary one-shot for Amy Rose and Metal Sonic we could see a story that could pair the two characters up together in an interesting new adventure. We certainly can't wait to learn more!

I guess the one after that will be the Chaotix in 2025. I'm surprised Ray and Mighty haven't had one this year.

Called it (well, half of it). Next year will be less certain.

I'm a bi suprised IDW is announcing stuff this early. We're still waiting for Amy's special.

I didn't expect a announcement this soon.

Nice to see Fang and Knuckles in a story together, I always thought Fang would make a great villain for Knuckles. Now only if we could get the Hooligans to appear in the Modern era.

hold your horses a bit, find some quotes of what was actually announced or not, cause I'm already seeing people assume a lot lol

Glad that Fang is getting some love after all of these years.
