In July, Another Blast from the Past
With the main Archie Sonic comics now spanning three decades’ worth of issues, it’s always great for newer readers to trace steps from the past. With Archie releasing Sonic Archives quarterly, fans get a chance to do just that. Good news for them–we’re only a couple months away to the next release.
Issue 13 will be another four pack, covering the Endgame saga–a pretty big deal for the comic series back in the 90s. It’ll be out in comic book shops late in July.
Take a trip down memory lane by checking out the official synopsis, and be sure to get the cover art that follows–it’s drawn by Spaz.
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG ARCHIVES #13
The Sonic Archives series collects digitally-restored classic Sonic stories in high-quality graphic novels! Sonic Archives Volume 13 includes the rare final chapters of the critical ENDGAME SAGA and related side-stories originally featured in the SONIC SUPER SPECIAL series. The story begins with Princess Sally presumed dead and Sonic framed for the murder! The plot darkens at a break-neck pace, leading to the final confrontation between Sonic and the original Dr. Robotnik!

Given that this was one of the best stories they ever ran, I’d like to pick up a copy of this one.
Horray another archive ill never be able to find
Niiiiiice, he pulled a pic that was actually in #50 for the cover. Great decision. I’ll always love the endgame saga, even though, really, when you look at it critically, it doesn’t make it so hot (waay too much to explain here). But that didn’t matter to us kids, only that Sally was dead (not really), knothole destroyed and that it was the ultimate showdown between Robotnik and sonic.
For me, it’s the end of my favorite version of Robotnik, the way I really think he aught to be (and no, I’m not counting all the stories where he was made comical, which ppl use a lot. Let’s just SatAM robobutt).
@ Goodman:
I still to this day wish they’d bring back the original Dr. Ivo Robotinik.
