DC x Sonic the Hedgehog: Here’s the first art and plot details from Sega and DC’s crossover comic
The five-issue series will see Sonic and friends teaming up with the Justice League
Sega and DC Comics have revealed new plot information and artwork from an upcoming crossover comic series.
The first issue of DC x Sonic the Hedgehog is released on March 19 and sees Sonic and his friends teaming up with the Justice League.
The series will consist of five issues, with issue one featuring two variant covers.
The first is a group shot featuring Sonic, the Flash, Knuckles, Superman, Tails, Wonder Woman, Shadow, Batman, Amy Rose and Cyborg in an action post.
The other also includes Silver and Green Hornet, and shows each group separated into their own factions.
“In DC x Sonic the Hedgehog by writer Ian Flynn and artist Adam Bryce Thomas, the Justice League will meet Sonic and friends to kick off an all-new, five-issue comic book series,” DC’s official description reads (via AIPT).
“The new series features an unprecedented crossover event where the Justice League and Team Sonic must unite to save their worlds from a major threat.”
It adds: “The action speeds up when the monstrous Darkseid crosses dimensions to invade the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, seeking the ultimate power. Sonic and his friends have faced everything from mad scientists to ancient spirits, but the forces of Apokolips may be too much for them. Thankfully, the full heroic might of the Justice League arrives to back them up.
“Throughout the five issues of DC x Sonic the Hedgehog, sacrifices will be made, heroes will rise, and the need for speed will test the Justice League and Team Sonic to their limits.”
The comic was originally announced back in September 2024, along with news that Sonic and DC would be collaborating further on a range of merchandise spanning clothes, toys and collectibles.
The merchandise collaboration, which will start later this year and move into 2026, starts with a set of t-shirts and hoodies exclusive to Target in the US, featuring Shadow the Hedgehog dressed as Batman.
Future merchandise will see Sonic as The Flash, Tails as Cyborg, Amy Rose as Wonder Woman, Knuckles as Batman and Silver as Green Lantern.
