First Look: Archie’s Sonic #224, Sonic Universe #27

More Silver Saga, and More Eggman Scheming

On Monday, Archie Comics released previews for its Sonic lineup for April, including primary issue #224, and Sonic Universe #27.

The latter continues the Silver Saga, and sees Silver join a new band of freedom fighters in a battle against Enerjak.  The issue before the big 225th edition features Eggman prominently on the cover.  He’s plotting a rebound with no one to keep him in check, as Sonic dukes it out versus Ixis Naugus.

Ian Flynn penned both scripts, with an array of artists working on both issues.  They are cited below, in Archie’s official synopses, followed by cover art.  Look for these in April.
