SAN DIEGO, CA (May 8, 2019) \u2013\u00a0IDW Publishing<\/strong>\u00a0is humbled to announce that three of its most recent\u00a0Sonic The Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0comic books \u2013 issues #14 and #15 from the ongoing monthly series, as well as\u00a0Sonic The Hedgehog Annual 2019<\/em> \u2013 have completely sold out at the distributor level.<\/div>\n

The heat on IDW\u2019s\u00a0Sonic The Hedgehog<\/em>\u00a0has been building as the comic book marches confidently into its second \u201cseason\u201d with creators\u00a0Ian Flynn, Tracy Yardley,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Jack Lawrence<\/strong>\u2019s Metal Virus story arc, so fans are encouraged to rush to their local comic shops to pick up these very desirable \u2013 and hot-selling \u2013 stories!<\/p>\n

The very special\u00a0Sonic The Hedgehog Annual<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 featuring a cover by revolutionary Sonic Team artist\u00a0Yuji Uekawa<\/strong>\u00a0and a host of creators (including\u00a0Ian Flynn<\/strong>,\u00a0James Kochalka<\/strong>,\u00a0Cavan Scott<\/strong>,\u00a0Evan Stanley, Gigi Dutreix<\/strong>, and more) \u2013 is sure to become a jewel in any fan\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n

“There’s a certain kind of magic to a book like the\u00a0Sonic<\/em>\u00a0Annual<\/em>,” says editor\u00a0David Mariotte<\/strong>. “It’s rare that you’re so fortunate to be able to put together so many great creators in one book and have their stories naturally go together. I’m just glad to see everyone else picked up on that creative magic too.”<\/p>\n

Hardcore fans can enjoy the continuing\u00a0Sonic<\/em>adventures monthly in the ongoing series, as well as in collected volumes (Vol. 1: Fallout<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Vol. 2: The Fate of Dr. Eggman<\/em>, as well as the upcoming\u00a0Vol. 3: Battle for Angel Island<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Vol. 4: Infection<\/em>). Also, IDW\u2019s highly-anticipated\u00a0Tangle & Whisper<\/em>\u00a0spin-off series promises more action and adventure for the\u00a0Sonic\u00a0<\/em>fanbase over the course of Summer 2019, as the unlikely duo find themselves in hot pursuit of Sonic himself!<\/p>\n

For information on how to secure copies of\u00a0Sonic The Hedgehog<\/em>, please contact your local comic shop or visit\u00a0www.comicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find a store near you.<\/p>\n
