Sonic the Hedgehog comic cancelled?


Posted on April 23, 2017 by Jason Nason

I usually don’t look ahead in the monthly comic solicitations that far in advance. Since I only deal with Archie Comics here on Broken Joysticks I often take a look at the next upcoming months comics of Sonic the Hedgehog and previously Mega Man. Upon looking at the May solicitations I noticed that the blue blur was missing.

While it’s not uncommon for a comic to skip a month I perused the June solicitations but found nothing. Next I opened up the July solicitations, which Archie Comics just sent out last Tuesday and again found nothing. Neither Sonic the Hedgehog nor Sonic Universe are listed for the next three months. Both comics are also not longer listed in either series or subscription listings.

Are these comics both cancelled?

Humble Bundle: Archie Comics and Sonic the Hedgehog


Posted on June 22, 2016 by Jason Nason

As someone who doesn’t use my PC for gaming, Humble Bundle has been pretty useless for me for the most part. Most of the bundles that I’ve seen have been for Steam keys, which I can’t use. Though recently I took advantage of the “Friends of Nintendo” bundle which allowed me to get eShop codes for a bunch of games.

Now Archie Comics is getting on board to make digital versions of their Sonic the Hedgehog comics available.

In celebration of Sonic the Hedgehog‘s 25th Anniversary, Humble Bundle and Archie Comics are offering up a big digital collection of Sonic the Hedgehog comics! The Humble Comics Bundle: Sonic the Hedgehog features hundreds of pages of action-packed excitement from the longest-running video game comic book in history.Read More
