Sonic and the Chaotix continue their quest to make sure Clean Sweep Inc. is totally shut down!

A defeated Clutch gave them the info to check out one of his former facilities to confirm for themselves that the only operations still active are the automated systems. They’re joined by Shadow and Rouge, who are also investigating Clean Sweep.

But is Clutch telling the truth? The data they download from the facility doesn’t 100 percent match his story. Rouge plans to look into it further but informs Sonic that Tails isn’t the only one whose Chaos Emerald has gone missing recently. Troubled over who could be stealing the Emeralds, Sonic doesn’t realize that someone is tracking him. Who could it be and why?!

Saving the world is a piece of cake when you’re a speedy blue hedgehog. So easy, in fact, that Sonic the Hedgehog has done it about… carry the one, add the zero… 899 times, according to Tails’ calculations. And Sonic is about to go on his 900th world-saving adventure because… Hot potato, hot potato! Sonic and his friends are playing a game of hot potato! Only the potato is the Warp Topaz and instead of burning their hands, it could warp the whole world into oblivion. Or something like that. The gang is passing off the Warp Topaz in a relay race to get rid of it once and for all. Celebrate the mind-blowing 900th-issue milestone with superstars Ian Flynn, Evan Stanley, Caleb Goellner, Daniel Barnes, Aaron Hammerstrom, and returning Sonic writer Nigel Kitching as they participate in a relay race of their own, telling this story in six speed-racing, nail-biting, egg-kicking parts!

That’s no island-it’s the weathered hulk of the Death Egg, and it’s crawling with scrapped, rusted, and malfunctioning Badniks! Each and every one of them was created by Eggman to destroy that meddlesome hedgehog, but the mad doctor left other creations as well. Lethal, personal, familiar creations. What other secrets does the crumbling battle station hold? Are all of Eggman’s monsters doomed to follow their programming, or can they step out of their maker’s shadow? And where can a hungry ‘hog get a chili dog around here?

It’s alive! It’s rusted… It’s shaped like Sonic… It’s Mecha Sonic! He’s no longer Eggman’s prized invention but just a docile bot living among other washed-up Badniks. And now he is tasked with helping Sonic and Tails. Has Eggman’s nefarious programming truly been rusted over, or will Sonic’s presence awaken a forgotten part of Mecha Sonic?

Scrapped, rusted, and malfunctioning Badniks call this place home. Can the friends survive isolation on an island of robots programmed to destroy them?

As a follow-up to IDW’s popular Sonic 30th Anniversary Special, Sonic The Hedgehog: Tails’ 30th Anniversary Special will release in November 2022, featuring a new 30-page (for 30 years!) story by series regular Ian Flynn, with art by Aaron Hammerstrom and colors by Reggie Graham inspired by the classic games.

Sonic The Hedgehog: Scrapnik Island #1 will be available in stores in October 2022 with three cover variants, including Cover A by series colorist Nathalie Fourdraine, Cover B by Min Ho Kim, and a retailer incentive edition by Diana Skelley.
