Meilag32 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Yes, after running for 24 years (making it the longest running American comic series in history), this week Sega and Archie officially announced that they have cancelled the Sonic the Hedgehog series as well as it's spin-off series Sonic Universe. If you were a fan of Sonic as a kid, there's a good chance you followed this series at some point in time. The Sonic series ran for 290 issues before it was unceremoniously cancelled (meaning it never got a final story arc) and if you include all the side series 32 issues of Knuckles the Echidna 94 issues of Sonic Universe 17 issues of various miniseries 13 issues of it's one-shot specials 15 issues of it's Super Special series 40 issues of Sonic X 11 issues of Sonic Boom make for a grand total of 512 comics. And that's not even counting the issues of the Mega Man series where Sonic and Mega Man did a whole crossover thing. So, in remembrance of a series that had dizzying heights of awesomeness (as well as terrible lows), feel free to post something you remember. A final note, a couple of days after announcing the cancellation of the Archie Series, Sega has announced that they have partnered with IDW to create a brand new Sonic series.

Meilag32 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 hopefully one with a less chaotic story and less Original Echidnas do not steal Ken Penders. Created pretty much every character except for the Sega owned ones and the original Freedom Fighter team. Then after leaving Archie, sued for the rights to all those characters and actually won (either by Sega losing the paperwork or him stealing it), and killing the series.

ThisIdiot Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 this hurts...I haven't had a chance to follow the sonic comics since...issue 52? goddamn that was years ago...I need to start picking up the older issues again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 The fact that IDW in their quest for ALL THE LICENSES picked this up makes me sad. Let Sonic die...or at least remain a goofy gag comic. Nothing epic about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
