"Sonic Universe is an upcoming comic book set within Archie Comics's Sonic the Hedgehog continuity, designed to expand the horizon of that fictional universe. Sonic Universe will deal with various characters throughout the fictional universe, including Shadow the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna and many more. The first title arc is titled "Living Weapons" and will feature Shadow and Metal Sonic."

So, what do you think o' this? Releasing sometime in February, too lazy to switch tabs and find out right now :P. I haven't read anything based off Archie comics in like, years. Stopped after a while, I think it was around issue 130 or something? It was a dang good series, though, and I think I'll be picking this up sometime. It has Blaze and Marine in it, which should increase the epic levels. A new issue should come out monthly. It also says in the article "a major event will occur that will "be affecting the books for literally years to come." Sounds pretty intriguing to me. I just hope it'll be better than the Sonic X comics, personally. Your thoughts?

I'm also looking forward to this series. The Sonic X comic were boring IMO.It was a comic version of the 4Kids dub! It also lacked Shadow. I'm keeping an eye on the main series at the moment, Just watching what they're doing with Silver. I really do hope Silver becomes a Freedom Fighter and joins Sonic's group. We hardly see Shadow anymore because all the writers obviously hate him so they keep his appearances down to a minimum. Even if they create a 3 part mini-series about him, They'll most likely make it suck. Let's hope SU turns out to be good. No Archie characters either...They always ruin good spin-offs.

I saw the covers of the first and second Sonic Universes in the back of the last Sonic X issue (#40). It seems to look pretty good, but we won't find out until next month.

Sonic X's Issues didn't interest me too much, but I still read them all. This looks promising, but then again, the Sonic X ones looked promising too. I'll still have high hopes for Sonic Universe. ^_^

Wow! Right when I FINALLY find some copies of the Sonic the Hedgehog Comic Book, (It was in the freaking kids section all along. *slaps self for being stupid*) they come up with this epic idea? Hell yeah I'll check it out! :D

Seriously though, seeing what I have, I hope they put the same quality work they did with the Sonic the Hedgehog Comic Books. I also want to see what they do with the relationship between Tails and Marine. If you ask me, there's something there. :)

Coming from Archie, it will be great, end of discussion.

Quoted for epicness.

Also, the next two issue covers have been revealed.

Issue Two~


Plot: It is the eve of Sonic's big confrontation with Dr. Eggman, but Shadow and Rouge have other plans. As the three of them embark on a crucial midnight raid, readers will have the opportunity to simultaneously look back on a time when Sonic and Shadow weren't so friendly as they witness the lost tale of their battle for the ARK! It's déjà vu all over again as the present and past run parallel in this high-action tale!

Issue Three~


Plot: Shadow is sent into the remote mountains to find E-102 Gamma. At the same time, Dr. Robotnik launches the over-powered E-123 Omega to hunt down and destroy the rogue robot! It's a race against time to see if Shadow can save Gamma and offer him asylum - if Gamma even wants to be saved!

I won't reveal the plots of three and four due to spoilers.

Looking rather cool from what I'm seeing. And remember, people, the comics are in a totally different canon from the games~

Sorry for the double post, but I thought a nice bump might be in order...

Don't forget to pick up your issue of Sonic Universe, titled "Living Weapons" on the 24-25th of February at your local comic store~

It should pick up from where you left off at Sonic X episode 40 (basically before the Metarex saga) and will feature both Shadow and Metal Sonic, along with the inclusion of Princess Blaze the Cat and Marine the Raccoon~

Man, these look awesome! To bad there is no comic stores in my town...

I sure hope that this new comic series will give Sonic a comeback! ^^

Well, do you at least have a bookstore? You could try that and look in the kids section. :)

*Goes a little crazy while waiting a whole week.*
