Reprint of IDW Sonic #1 Releasing to Celebrate 5-Year Anniversary

IDW Comics is celebrating five years of non-stop Sonic action by re-releasing its landmark debut issue from 2018 in a special collector’s package.

The “5th Anniversary Edition” reprint of IDW Sonic #1 will, as you’d expect, come complete with all the original stories that published with the original comic’s release, along with a bonus short story and some additional commemorative material. Some of this will include a special look at how the IDW Sonic comics are made.

We’re used to IDW going a little bit variant-cover happy with its releases these days, but on this occasion there will be no less than five covers to collect! Cover A will be a collection of all the first four issues’ connecting covers, with the other Covers handled by well-known artists that have had a hand in the Sonic comic series over the years.

Well that’s certainly caught my interest. No idea what they have in store at the moment, though personally I would love to see a sequel to the awesome All Stars Racing Transformed.

Keep checking TSS for more info as we get it.
