After covering the classic games, modern games, and even the movies, IDW now has its sights on Sonic Prime. A new Amazon listing reveals that "Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Prime, Vol. 1" will hit November 19th this year. The listing notes that it will be 144 pages and cover the first two episodes of the show.
Cover currently on the Amazon listing, presumably a placeholder
The adaptation itself is attributed to Hayden Robel, a writer managing projects for online comics platform Tapas who previously adapted SNK's The Last Blade for the service. It's unclear what format the book is expected to take, though IDW isn't historically known for "film comics" or "cine-manga" or whatever term you want to use for turning video screenshots into comic panels.
Though it's a bit odd that the first volume is only set to cover the first two episodes, they are perhaps the most dense episodes in the series for character and world building. If it continues past the first volume, later volumes could probably stand to be a bit more... abbreviated summaries rather than direct retellings.
