Sonic and the Flash racing? Batman and Shadow riding together? Fans were in heaven when Sega revealed the first DC x Sonic the Hedgehog collab created by writer Ian Flynn, artist Adam Bryce Thomas and colourist Matt Herms.

A series of five comics has the Justice League meet Sonic and friends in an unlikely crossover. DC x Sonic the Hedgehog #1 sports a cover by Pablo M. Collar with a variant cover created by Ethan Young.

First announced at Sega’s Sonic Central livestream event in September 2024, issue #1 went on sale in March. The story sees DC villain Darkseid cross dimensions to invade Sonic's world. While Sonic has faced mad scientists and ancient spirits, an attack by the forces of Apokolips requires extra help from the Justice League.
