Bad news sonic fans,As you all heard Archie's Sonic the hedgehog comic book series along with Sonic Universe is about to end because after many years Sega and Archie ended partnership http://www.cbr.com/sonic-the-hedgehog-archie-comics/   :'(


Which means that in about few months this year , Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 291 and Sonic Universe 95 will be rewritten as the final issue similar to Megaman before reaching to hiatus later revealed to be cancelation.

Let's hope the series will go off with a bang with issue 291 (along with Sonic Universe 95) since the series is about to end after many years.

Looks like the Sonic universe (for Archie Comics, anyway) ended with a whimper, not a bang, according to the article cited:
QuoteWith the dissolution of the publishing partnership, no new Sonic comics will be produced by Archie Comics going forward.

The wording of Sega's announcement seemed to imply that a licensing deal with another comics publisher was in the offing (IDW or UDON seem the most likely candidates, IMO).

IDW: Taking my childhood and making it awesome.

Well, save for MMPR. Boom Studios is handling that one. And that series is amazing. :)

Sadly true.If only Sega will allow Archie to make one more issue of Sonic the hedgehog with a closure before they end production.But If sonic is adapted to IDW  then it will be a new continuity for the sonic the hedgehog comic book series with no mention of the old Archie continuity.

That's just the way these things go sometimes. No closure for those Sonic readers who were in the midst of reading a story arc -- and no trade collection for anyone who was reading the comic that way. I guess we can reflect on the fact that this was just the standard operating procedure for MOST cancelled comics for decades, before the rise in popularity of trade paperbacks led to discretely-planned multi-issue arcs -- stories would just END, with an implied "to be continued next issue" that was never fulfilled.

Good point but if Sega give Archie one more issue to give a finale before they end production it would have been something like the one I wrote: https://www.archiefans.com/all-about-archie/my-plot-idea-for-archie's-sonic-the-hedgehog's-final-issues/msg11452/?topicseen#new

Hey I got some Good news and Bad news ,The good news is that IDW will now partner with SEGA and will publish the new Sonic the Hedgehog comics and they might include the popular archie sonic characters like Sally in it.http://www.cbr.com/sega-idw-announce-sonic-comics/

The Bad news it will probably won't be set in the Archie Sonic Universe since it was made by Archie but it will take place in a new continuity with no mention of the fleetway or the Archie verse and that the new series will try to be faithful to their video game source material

What about MEGA MAN? Will another comics company get that license from Capcom, or will Archie Action resurrect that title after a long hiatus, now that Sonic the Hedgehog comics are no longer an option for them? Or will we at least see that MEGA MAN MASTER EDITION reprint trade collection solicited last year (and then cancelled)?

I am sure IDW will adapt Mega Man except it will probably adapt the 2018 cartoon series and of course Archie Action will resurrect but it will focus on the old archie action spinoffs like Explorer s of the unknown and The man from RIVERDALE.

Never read Sonic. But hopefully they will put this money towards the relaunch of Betty and Veronica which was the best selling Archie title last month. http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2017/2017-06.html

Dan Parent hinted recently at another (almost) classic title in the vein of Your Pal Archie.  Maybe B&V will get the same treatment!

"(almost) classic" in the sense of what ACP is calling "All New Classic"? As in the same cosmetic makeover in character designs used in Your Pal Archie? Or would this be some other experiment stylistically in-between "classic" and "New Riverdale"?

It was just a hint but since it was from Dan, I took it to mean another Your Pal Archie type of thing.
