SAN DIEGO, CA (July 19, 2018) \u2013 IDW Publishing and SEGA (R) of America are proud to announce the\u00a0Team Sonic Racing<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0comic book, a one-shot special arriving October 2018. Following hot on the heels of IDW\u2019s fan-favorite\u00a0Sonic The Hedgehog<\/em>\u00a0(TM)\u00a0series, the events of the\u00a0Team Sonic Racing<\/em>\u00a0comic will lead directly into the highly-anticipated video game that arrives this winter!<\/p>\n

Sonic and his teammates Knuckles and Tails journey to a new planet and enter a race unlike any other! With a little help from friends like Amy Rose, Big the Cat, and a few other familiar faces, Sonic must race to prevent an old foe from obtaining a powerful new technology in this story by writer\u00a0Caleb Goellner<\/strong>\u00a0(Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/em>) and longtime\u00a0Sonic The Hedgehog<\/em>\u00a0artist\u00a0Adam Bryce Thomas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m so stoked to write\u00a0Sonic<\/em>! It’s been a dream of mine ever since my dad surprised me with my first\u00a0Sonic<\/em>\u00a0comic in \u201992, so I can\u2019t wait for fans to take this issue for a Spin Dash,\u201d says Caleb Goellner. \u201cIt\u2019s been an honor to be on a team working to deliver an issue that\u2019s as fun to read as\u00a0Team Sonic Racing<\/em>\u00a0is to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adam Bryce Thomas says,\u00a0\u201c<\/strong>I\u2019m thrilled to be part of IDW\u2019s newest comic project. Illustrating action packed scenes is my go-to for\u00a0Sonic<\/em>, so what could be better than our rival teams jockeying for position? SEGA is known for its phenomenal racing titles and I’ll be doing my best to bring comic fans the breakneck speed and excitement they expect.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot to be thrilled about with\u00a0Team Sonic Racing<\/em>,\u201d says associate editor\u00a0David Mariotte<\/strong>. \u201cThe game exemplifies a lot of what’s best about\u00a0Sonic<\/em>\u2014naturally, there\u2019s action, speed, and style, but there\u2019s also teamwork and Big the Cat. Adam and Caleb do a great job of translating all of that into one of the best-looking, most fun comics we\u2019ll see all year.\u201d<\/p>\n
