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
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.
I never said anything about “shitty ripoffs”….WTF dude…
This is’nt a shitty ripoff, if anyones shitty its you.
um….good comeback?
