IDW Publishing celebrates the fifth anniversary of Sonic The Hedgehog #1
With all the speed of the world’s fastest hedgehog, five fantastic years of friendship, adventure, and chili dogs have flown by, and IDW Publishing will celebrate a half-decade—and its massive accomplishment of over one million collections sold—in April with the Sonic The Hedgehog #1 Fifth Anniversary Edition!
An expanded reissue of the classic IDW first issue, the Fifth Anniversary Edition gets the original creative team of writer Ian Flynn and artist Tracy Yardley back together to craft an all-new bonus short story entitled “Familiar Territory.” This special release will also include an exclusive look at how Sonic comics get made, an extensive cover gallery, and more!
Sonic The Hedgehog #1 Fifth Anniversary Edition will be available with multiple cover variants for retailers and fans to enjoy, each one illustrated by a different artist instrumental in making IDW’s Sonic kickoff from five years ago an unequivocal success! These variants include a special foldout Cover A by Tyson Hesse (featuring the connecting covers from issues #1-4), Cover B by interior artist Tracy Yardley, Cover C by Matt Herms, Cover D by Jennifer Hernandez, and three Retailer Incentive covers from Adam Bryce Thomas, Evan Stanley, and Jon Gray respectively.
