Sonic is Betrayed, Cream is Bad to the Bunny, and More
Over the weekend, previews were released by Archie Comics for the crop of Sonic comics coming in December.
For the main arc, another two parter concludes with Sonic betrayed and trapped in a void with little hope of escape. In Sonic Universe, the Treasure Team Tango four issue arc continues with three teams and then a fourth out in search for the Sol Emerald. Also coming in December is the 14th edition of Sonic Archives, the re-release of classic Sonic comics, which will cover issue 51 through 54.
Synopses for all three are below–followed by their covers in the gallery.

Hehe… I never though I’ll see Cream like that never.
WHOOO YEAH those comics are awesome i love the one with cream and shadow lol XD
… So now I love Sonic Universe even more. XD
Can’t wait to find out who the infamous traitor is!
The 4th team is the Babylon Rogues calling it
Something is just wrong about that BETRAYED cover…
Thank you RS, I thought I was the only one.
RS : I’m not saying why it looks wrong becuase their is children present XD
I don’t understand why in archie comics they still use Sonic old (classic) design? It’s awsome, no doubt, but since Sonic’s changed don’t they change his design equaly?
I don’t care it’s just a bit strange, isn’t it?
I Love U Sonic
@SonicUnleashed: Because, those are the Sonic Archives covers they’re doing to promote original stories with the Classic Sonic in it. You see, instead of slapping Modern Sonic’s ugly Uekawa-ed face on everything (even re-releases of the original Sonic games on the Genesis/Megadrive) they intelligently put the proper Sonic design on the cover.
And my oh my… I saw that Cream as an avatar on Sonic Retro and thought that my cheifs, Shigamado and Nuckleshad hired him for another page of Eggs and decided to do something crazy with Cream. I never suspected that this was Archie official until now. That’s pretty… Odd. Then again, the writing in the comic has sucked for a while now, even by the hand of Flynn who may have wiped out the melodrama days of Penders, but made the comic a bland amalgamation of bland writing, Sega friendly art style, and butchered aspects of SatAM.
HOWEVER, this new Sonic comic sounds interesting. VOID? No chance of escape? OLD VILLAIN? Holy s**t, it’s Naugus. It’s Ixis Naugus. I hope this is building up to something truly interesting, if it’s truly to involve Naugus.
Cream the Rabbit… badass? No. Shadow is right. That deserved a facepalm.
Cream didn’t look bad to the bone. It just made her even more cutesy!
Shadow and Cream KID!
Shadow is not amused, Cream– especially since you’re riding his motorcycle.
I’m trying to think who’ll betray Sonic -
It can’t be amy ‘cos she’s in universe atm.
or Rouge.
Or SHADOW.
Tails – Doubt it.
ST. JOHN – Possibly
Sally – :S
Antoine – I don’t know.
Scourge – Haven’t seen him for a while now…
Chuck – WOW.
