  1. 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.

  2. Hello everyone! This thread is for posting and discussing episodes of my new Sonic replay/rewatch/reread podcast, Deep Dive Zone! Youtube Twitter Old (outdated) concepts/ideas post:
  3. Title: Sonic the Hedgehog Issue: #2 Writer: Ian Flynn Artist: Adam Bryce Thomas Series: IDW Previously Reviewed: Issue 1 So, after reading the very first issue of this brand-new series for the Sonic the Hedgehog comic books, I was getting a bit interested in seeing where this series goes to next and whether or not it would hold up to the Archie Comics. Well, I finally read the second issue to the IDW Sonic the Hedgehog series and it was pretty impressive! So, before I get into my thoughts about this issue, here's a brief summary of the issue. So in this issue, Sonic runs off into another town, like he did in the first issue, except this time, he meets up with Amy Rose. Amy is now one of the leaders of the Resistance fighting against Eggman's robots and she asks Sonic to join the Resistance. Of course, Sonic refuses to join the Resistance since he's all about doing things his way. But despite that, he still ends up helping Amy out with taking down the robots in the village. So now that we got the introduction of Tails out of the way, it's time to introduce Amy Rose into this new universe and see how she is being written in this series. For many years, Amy Rose was written as a character who has a huge crush on Sonic and is constantly chasing after him, sometimes rather aggressively depending on who's writing her character. But in this series, even though Amy Rose still has a crush on Sonic, she is shown as being much more mature and downplays her love for Sonic. It was something that surprised me when I first read this issue as I never would have thought that Amy would be portrayed as a mature character. And in the end, it worked out for me. Now, I know that there were some complaints about this interpretation of Amy Rose being too similar to Sally Acorn, you know, Sonic's love interest from the Archie Comics? But for me personally, I actually enjoyed this interpretation of Amy Rose. To be honest, I wasn't the biggest fan of Amy Rose being a crazed stalker towards Sonic the Hedgehog as it felt like the only thing that matters about Amy Rose's character is that she loves Sonic and nothing else. I felt that making Amy into the leader of the Resistance actually brought more depth to her character as it shows that she can be a capable leader when given the chance to. And because this series takes place after "Sonic Forces" (and Sally Acorn doesn't exist in this series), it felt right to me for Amy Rose to take charge of the situation at the moment. Also, I honestly love Sonic and Amy's relationship here. Now, I will admit that their relationship does have some "Sonic/Sally" vibes in terms of the two slightly teasing each other, just like Sonic and Sally would do with each other in the Archie Comics. However, for me, I'm just glad that Sonic and Amy have a much healthier relationship with each other in this series as they can just joke around with each other without Sonic running away from Amy or Amy acting so aggressive towards Sonic. Another thing that I loved about this issue was Adam Bryce Thomas' artwork. He's quickly becoming my favorite artist for this series! I just loved the way that he drew the action sequences in this issue, as well as giving a lot of energetic expressions for the characters. I always love it when the artwork engages you into the hyper-stylized world of this series and Adam Bryce Thomas' artwork definitely showcased that energy very well. And let's not forget about this AWESOME shot of Sonic looking cool and stating a line from his popular image song "It Doesn't Matter." I mean, look at this scene! It's so AWESOME! I honestly didn't have a problem with this issue. I thought that this issue was a huge step up from the first issue and I really loved Sonic and Amy's relationship in this issue. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of Sonic and Amy's relationship in the rest of this series soon! Taken from my book blog: RABBIT EARS BOOK BLOG

  5. Sonic Crash Course, IDW's classic Sonic themed tabletop racing game, will be getting an update to its rulebook late this year. Talking with Sean McDonald, the game's designer, he has wanted to incorporate a number of revisions and clarifications to the game for quite a while, and was able to have the updated instructions approved in December for future prints of the game. Though nothing in the revisions will dramatically change the game, they will make the overall experience a bit smoother and re-tuned. Perhaps the most significant change will be to Tails' character ability. In the original edition, Tails would gain Flicky tokens (a resource needed to approach the game's finish line) by using springs to jump over 3, 5, or 7 obstacles on consecutive tiles. McDonald notes that this ability was originally balanced around playing with more than four players, and the revisions should make the ability more achievable. Crash Course remains one of the most evergreen Sonic tabletop games, seeing reprints far beyond other Sonic games that launched at the time, including IDW's Sonic Dice Rush and S7 Games' Sonic Battle Racers.

  8. Flynn has confirmed on his podcast that most material originating from Sonic X is off the table for use in Sonic media, at least for the forseeable future. This confirmation came in two parts, in his January 5 and January 15 episodes. In the January 5 show, Flynn confirmed that a pitch to adapt Sonic X's Metarex saga in IDW had been rejected, because "most of Sonic X is off the table." This means that not only will his Metarex pitch never happen, but that characters like Cosmo, Topaz, Ella and Mr. Tanaka can't currently return in modern media either. In today's episode, Flynn went a little more in-depth. He said that another pitch of his for a project unrelated to the Metarex afforded him the opportunity to talk to someone regarding the use of Sonic X elements: So while Sonic X material is not permanently off the table, it's going to require either a change in SEGA management, or a big change in SEGA management's thinking. As things currently stand. everything connected to Sonic X will remain a part of Sonic's past. Here's hoping that changes one day. You can hear Flynn talk about Sonic X's status in Bumblekast's January 5 episode here at 10:49, and it's January 15 episode here at 24:20. Original Post Content: View full story

  10. IDW spoilers ahead. Please keep in mind I haven't reread the IDW comics before writing this. I'm going purely off of memory, so this may not be 100% accurate. I wouldn't say I like the way they write him in IDW. Shadow is confident, but they exaggerated it to the point where he's not confident, he's arrogant. He gets mad quite quickly and is an asshole overall. At least, that's how Ian writes him. Evan is a bit better at writing him. Evan's Shadow is a bit more silent and doesn't lash out as much. He is willing to help. Evan's Shadow feels more like the 'strong, silent type' than Ian's Shadow. Evan has practiced writing Shadow in their fan comic, 'Ghosts of the Future', so this may be one reason. They also didn't have to abide by the mandates when writing their fan comic. Ian Shadow would've been more harsh, and needlessly so. However, even after this, he still is similar. As far as I know, some of the reasons for this writing could be due to the mandates, but it doesn't mean I can't dislike his character in IDW. This page is an example of what I mean. It feels edgy, but not a "normal" Shadow type of edgy. I think Shadow should've scoffed or rebutted instead of attacking them. This isn't the only example of Shadow being very aggressive, but I don't want to lengthen this reply. Obviously, this is merely my opinion and is subject to change. As I stated before, I haven't reread IDW yet, so a lot of this is by memory. However, I can say this: Ian Shadow left a sour taste in my mouth, and Evan Shadow is a bit better--even if not seen as much--but still not quite the best.
  11. So, what were some moments in the Sonic the Hedgehog comics that you thought was very controversial? It can be moments from the Archie Comics, Sonic the Comic or IDW. For me, I have two different examples. The first example is the infamous slap scene from the Archie Sonic comics. This moment was controversial to me because it showed Sally in a negative light and many fans haven't forgotten about this moment. Another moment is from the IDW Comics and it's of course, Shadow's portrayal throughout the whole series, although that one particular moment in the Metal Virus arc is what many people remembered.

    The issue we all wait will come out tomorrow, but now here're some pages!
  13. Title: Sonic the Hedgehog Issue: #1 Writer: Ian Flynn Artist: Tracy Yardley Series: IDW So after the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics were cancelled in 2017, it was unknown at that point on whether or not Sonic the Hedgehog will ever come back into the comics. Well, it turns out that in 2018, SEGA announced that they will be partnering up with IDW Comics to make a brand-new Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series! And what better way to celebrate this special occasion than to have the old writers who wrote for the Archie Comics make a comeback into the series? I will admit that at first, I was a bit worried about this series because I grew up with the Archie Comics and I always enjoyed reading the Archie Comics, even if they had a couple of bad story lines here and there. So, when I finally picked up the first issue of the IDW comics, I actually found myself enjoying this issue! But, before I get into my thoughts about this issue, here's a brief summary of this issue. The series takes place after the events of "Sonic Forces" (you know, that recent Sonic game that turned out to be not so good)? Anyway, this issue basically showcases Sonic going around trying to help out the townspeople deal with the aftermath of the war in "Sonic Forces" and in this issue, we are introduced to Sonic's best friend, Tails the Fox (or Miles "Tails" Prower for all of you hardcore Sonic the Hedgehog fans) and together, they managed to take down the robots invading the town, while trying to solve the mystery about why Eggman's robots are going berserk, when Dr. Eggman himself is missing. So, I will admit that when I heard that this series was going to take place after the events of "Sonic Forces," I was a bit surprised by this because I assumed that once this comic book series was rebooted, they were going to make an original story for the comics that's not too heavily tied to the games. Also, at this point, "Sonic Forces" had developed a pretty bad reputation with the Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase and I thought that SEGA wasn't going to touch that game for a while. But, after reading this issue, it made me glad that they actually wrote a story that took place after "Sonic Forces" and actually improved on a few issues that "Sonic Forces" didn't tackle properly. One of the biggest issues that I had with "Sonic Forces" was that it felt like there was no urgency to the situation about Dr. Eggman finally taking over the world. That's an event that never happened in the previous Sonic the Hedgehog games. So, you would think that the characters would be more upset at that turn of events. But here in the comics, Ian Flynn actually did a fantastic job at showing the audience about what the war did to the townspeople and how everyone is trying to deal with damage control from the war. We see the townspeople still fighting off Dr. Eggman's robots, even after the war is over and it clearly shows that just because the war is over, doesn't mean that everything will go back to normal at the drop of a hat. It was also nice seeing Sonic do his thing and try to help out the townspeople fight off the robots, because that's what he does. He's a hero who likes helping out people in their time of need, while still having a snarky attitude towards his enemies. Now, let's talk about the characters themselves or more specifically, Sonic and Tails. It was great seeing Sonic and Tails fight together again since for years in the games, we barely get to see Tails fighting alongside Sonic since the games went for the whole "Sonic is the only playable character" direction. Anyway, I always loved Sonic and Tails' friendship in the franchise and it was nice seeing them just chatting with each other again. I also loved the fact that Ian Flynn made an attempt to address the issue of Tails' behavior in "Sonic Forces." So, you are probably asking "What? What happened with Tails in Sonic Forces?" Well, I'll tell you! So, in "Sonic Forces," when Sonic was captured by Dr. Eggman and was imprisoned for months, this causes Tails to suffer a meltdown and he ended up going off by himself after Sonic's disappearance. The biggest issue here is when Chaos comes towards Tails and Tails just cowers in front of Chaos. The problem with this scene is that if you had played "Sonic Adventure," you'll know that Tails actually fought against Chaos before. So, seeing Tails cower all of a sudden against Chaos just riled up the fandom really badly. So, in order to fix this, Ian Flynn had Tails kind of address how he was worried about Sonic when he got captured and he's worried that he will lose himself again if something happened to Sonic. But, the best part about this scene is that Sonic has this worried expression on his face and then, he immediately goes and comforts Tails and tells him that everything will be alright, just like a big brother would do for their little brother. Then afterwards, Sonic asks Tails if he would like to go with him and Tails notices that the village is still in danger and he decided to stay behind to help them. This really shows how much Tails has grown as a character (once again) and this small scene actually fixed the major problem that happened to Tails in "Sonic Forces." Tracy Yardley's artwork is as usual fantastic to look at. I loved how he has the characters show a lot of expressions that range from happiness to sadness and it really makes this issue worth reading! Now, if there was a problem that I had with this issue is that the world wasn't quite as well developed as I would have liked. You see, for years SEGA had been pretty undecided on naming Sonic's world or even explaining to the viewers about how things work in Sonic's world and I think that it seeped into the comics as well (although, that had a lot to do with SEGA's mandates, which we will go into more much later on. Oh, we so will go into it)... Also, if you are not a fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise or you haven't played "Sonic Forces," then chances are you will be a bit confused about why this war even started in the first place and how did Dr. Eggman even managed to nearly take over the world in "Sonic Forces?" Even though I wished that the world was developed a bit more, so that new readers will understand Sonic's world a bit better, I found this issue to be a really fun read and I loved the way that it managed to fix a lot of controversial moments that happened in "Sonic Forces." So far, it's a really great start to the reboot of the Sonic the Hedgehog comics and I definitely can't wait to tackle the next issue soon! Taken from my book blog RABBIT EARS BOOK BLOG

  16. The first of many IDW Sonic one-shots are out today, Sonic the Hedgehog: Endless Summer. The issue is part of a larger company-wide “Endless Summer” tie-in initiative, with My Little Pony, TMNT, and Dungeons and Dragons each getting their own (completely unrelated) Endless Summer one-shots. This comic sees Sonic encouraging Jewel to unwind on the beach with Tangle and Whisper, which eventually leads to the four of them having a beach showdown with the Babylon Rogues. The story is written by Gale Galligan, with art by Tracy Yardley and Thomas Rothlisberger.

  18. Hot off the press at IDW's San Diego Comic Con 2023 Panel (that we're covering right now), we have fresh details and cover artwork for two upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog issues. It seems that, following the events between Knuckles and the Babylon Rogues in issues #65 and #66, the story arc takes a new turn in IDW Sonic #67 and IDW Sonic #68. The IDW panel revealed that the former will feature a Surge and Kit storyline, while the latter will focus on a classic Sonic and Tails adventure. While we were given covers for issue #67, at present we only have the title and plot for issue #68. When we get covers for this, we'll let you guys know of course. Check out all the detail below.

  19. So, we’ve known about that Sonic 2 movie “Pre-quill” comic for a little while now, and the comic’s writer Kiel Phegley has dropped a few new interesting details. The comic will have 40 pages with five stories focusing on different characters from the movie. Among those stories will be a Robotnik-centered one, featuring contributions by none other than character’s actor himself, Jim Carrey. Although it is important to note that Phegley’s exact words for Carrey’s contribution was "spearheading" - Carrey does not have a writer’s credit in the comic solicitation. The comic will hit comic stores on March 23rd for $6.99, and will feature art by Tracey Yardley!, Adam Bryce Thomas, and Evan Stanley. Quite an all-star time for a Sonic comic! It will feature stories set between the two movies. Check out the full solicitation below: And in case you missed it last month, here's the cover again: via Kiel Phegley
  20. Just when we thought we were done with the covers for IDW’s 900th Adventure one-shot comic, along comes a new Retail Incentive variant. The above cover was created by long-time comic artist Jonathan Gray, and it’s quite the trippy piece of art. How many characters can you see? This new RI cover adds to the five we already know about for this one-off special. Which may seem overkill if you think about it, but it’s for a landmark occasion and we get Richard Elson artwork out of it so we’re not going to complain too much. You can check out more details about 900th Adventure in our previous coverage right here.
  21. After well over a year of build up, we are finally reaching IDW Sonic’s 50th issue. The issue is scheduled to release just a day before Sonic’s 31st anniversary, on June 22. Curiously, while the issue’s listed price is $7.99, double the comics usual price, one of the covers has a list price of $3.99. Check out the solicit and the two released covers below. The primary cover features art by Yui Karasuno, who has frequently done art for Sonic Team in the past. The retail incentive cover was drawn by Nathalie Fourdraine. A currently-unrevealed third cover will feature art by the comic’s lead writer, Evan Stanley. This issue will be written by Ian Flynn, and feature interior art by Adam Bryce Thomas. via PreviewsWorld and Tails Channel
  22. Team Dark may have been a consistent team for years in both the games and Archie comics, but they no longer exist as anything but an out-of-unverse brand, according to IDW Sonic and Sonic Frontiers writer Ian Flynn. When a fan asked Flynn on his podcast what kind of base Team Dark would have, Flynn answered they wouldn’t have a base, because SEGA does not consider them a team. “Team Dark isn’t a thing. It’s an out-of-universe brand, apparently. They are not a unit, they are not even friends,” Flynn said, “They don’t do mission things together unless the story has them doing it.” He want on to state his belief that Team Dark makes the most sense out of all of the teams (aside from the Chaotix), and that he doesn’t like this. You can find the answer on his latest podcast, embedded above. The answer starts at 10:20.
  23. Today’s the day, IDW Sonic fans! Modern Sonic is back for Free Comic Book Day 2022 with a brand new story meant to serve as part of the lead up to issue 50. The story features Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles in a new adventure! Both US and international fans can find participating comic book stores here. The comic features writing by Ian Flynn and art by Adam Bryce Thomas. For those of you who can’t make it, don’t worry: a digital copy should be officially available in a few weeks on Amazon via Comixology! This was the case last year, anyway. We’ve got the cover and synopsis below, but first, a brief PSA: although the comics are free, stores do need to pay for them. So if you can, try to buy something while your there! Maybe a comic, graphic novel, or manga. Lumberjanes, Atomic Robo and Mamo are personal favorites of mine! Invincible is also great if you don’t mind a lot of gore. Anyway, on to the cover and synopsis:
  24. Ahead of the publisher's SDCC 2023 panel, IDW has announced that it will be releasing a Halloween-themed Sonic the Hedgehog one-shot comic, featuring a spooky mystery that can only be solved by the Chaotix Detective Agency. The full solicitation can be found below, via PRH, but only one cover has been released so far - the Retail Incentive (10) by Nathalie Fourdraine. We do know that the other covers will be crafted by Jack Lawrence (Cover A), Gigi Dutreix (Cover B) and Jamal Peppers (Cover RI [25]). Check out the synopsis below, and get ready for a haunting adventure when the comic arrives - it's due to hit store shelves on 11 October 2023. Cover RI: Nathalie Fourdraine
  25. In addition to the standard and steelbook variations of the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 2 blu ray, Walmart is also getting a third, exclusive version bundled with IDW’s one-shot tie-in comic. The bundle is currently available for pre-order for $22.96 from Walmart.com.
