Sonic The Hedgehog has achieved something few comic book characters from the 1990s have: his title has survived for over 15 years! Why? Chalk it up to a fiercely loyal fan base (comprised of a surprising number of adults in addition to children) who take their hero as seriously as any popular fantasy character! The comic books offer fans adventures which go beyond the video games and animated cartoons to expand the Sonic universe – and the personalities of the characters who populate it.

Over the years, fans have thrilled to pulse-pounding tales of intrigue and peril as the peace of Knothole Village was threatened by a menagerie of menacing villains. In the process, alliances were made, betrayals occurred, families were torn asunder and reunited again, and romances bloomed. Through it all, the heroic efforts of Sonic and his friends stood above the fray, setting an example for others to follow.

Now, the epic anniversary issue you’ve been waiting for is finally here! Back in Sonic #50, Sonic managed to win against his arch-rival, Dr. Robotnik. In Sonic #175, the doctor got his revenge! Now, in issue #200, they duel for the fate of the world! Will freedom come to Mobius? Or will the Eggman Empire rule forever more? Place your bets – but be ready for the startling conclusion! Don’t miss this cranium-creasing, brain-bending, mind-blowing saga! Features a dimension-crossing cover by Patrick Spaziante.
