Comic Preview: IDW Sonic the Hedgehog #1

Time to jump down the rabbit hole yet again.

It’s been over a year since we’ve had a preview of any comics, but with IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog comic set to debut next week, a preview has been released to show a little of what this new story has to offer. Since the last battle, Eggman has been nowhere to be found, so naturally you’d think this would be a good time for Sonic to be able to chill.

Not so, as Eggman’s robot army are still on the attack! Sonic comes across one such village under siege, but he’s going to have to get a little help to beat these forces down! As Sonic and Tails do their thing, there’s something strange underneath the surface. What is up with this attack when Eggman is apparently MIA? See the action and mystery start to unfold as we take a look at the first part of the “Fallout” arc, and the first ever issue of IDW Sonic!

  1. Couldn’t really find a jumping on point for the original comics personally, but this actually looks pretty good. From the recaps of past bosses to seeing Sonic celebrated as a hero for being himself pretty much, I was somewhat intrigued. It helps that I read most of it in Jason Griffith’s voice, but the art and brief foray into the world of Sonic feels good. Alongside the marvel semi reboot, I think I might try getting into this run of comics.
