Full Res Cover, First Five Pages Inside
Though linked to previously, TSSZ News is now hosting for your consumption better quality images of the Archie Sonic comic preview for Saturday’s Free Comic Book Day.
Archie’s Sonic blog preview of Sonic: Evolution of a Hero is hosting most of the imagery, but as of this publication there’s been a bit of a mixup on Archie’s official posting where only four of the usual six images are available. TSSZ News has obtained all relevant images posted and we have them below.
Here’s Archie’s official synopsis of the 32 page special, which will be out in stores beginning Saturday, for free.

Eh I dont like Archie. I just wanna find a news site that only gives game news.
But you guys are really awesome. You dont bash sonic like the Sonic stadium
best sonic site ever!
^Agreed about the site thing.
Herms!!!!!! on page 1.
Herms should do the comics from now on, not Tracey. Seriously, Herms is fantastic. Plus, his backgrounds are more believeable than what Tracey sketches in most of the time.
Awesome to play catch up. I think I might have to start reading Sonic comics again.
Herm is ok, and yea I would very much like to see difrent art styles than just tracey for once.
@Crysore: You kidding me? With the dynamic shots this guy pulls out of nowhere?! Awesome. Awesome. He impresses me much more than the fan favorite Tracy, but then again people loved to argue that Spaziante is the best while I completelty disagreed and said that John Axer is the best artist.
On J. Axer: You know… That one guy who did the semi-covers after you open the actual cover? Like the one where Sonic was in that group picture with all those aliens in the E.V.E. issue? Or the one where Sonic encountered that genie?
But still…. These guys are much better than Manak’s over simplistic style that no longer has a place in the Sonic comics.
