Sonic the Hedgehog spin dashed his way into our hearts nearly 30 years ago, and Sega is celebrating in style with a hefty range of new projects featuring their “Blue Blur,” all of which will launch throughout the year and into 2022.
One of those new projects, which is being produced in conjunction with Dark Horse, is a history book punningly titled Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-Speed-ia:
Dive deep into the extensive lore and exhaustive detail of each game in Sonic’s ever-expanding universe–from the beloved Sega Genesis to the most bleeding-edge video game consoles. This tome leaves no stone unturned, showcasing in-depth looks at the characters, settings, and stories from each exciting installment!
This encyclopedic retelling of Sonic’s adventures will be written by Ian Flynn, who has plenty of previous experience with the character. His career began at Archie Comics, where he penned more than 130 issues of their Sonic the Hedgehog series from 2006 until 2016. Flynn is currently the Head Writer for IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog comic series, a job he’s held since they picked up the license in 2017.
Dark Horse will publish the Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-Speed-ia in hardcover and as an ebook on November 24.
