The year is 2004. Archie’s Sonic the Hedgehog is in dire straits: writer Karl Bollers left the book after a spectacular finale with Return to Angel Island, drawn by Jonathan Gray. In 19 issues, Ian Flynn would come aboard with a complete refresh of the book’s look with artist Tracy Yardley, a position Ian holds to this day. But the history of Archie’s Sonic is the history of roads not taken. From Ian’s Metal Virus Saga being repurposed for IDW, to future installments of Mobius 25 Years Later<\/a>, Karl Bollers’ plans after Return to Angel Island<\/a>, and of course, the 2012 reboot. Fans from around the world have taken up the banner of telling more stories with these characters, my team is adding one more story direct from the Archie offices: writer and artist Jonathan Gray’s<\/strong> Loose Continuity<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loose Continuity <\/em>was intended to be printed as a two-parter from roughly #149-150, with inventory stories filling the gap between his test rewrites on #144’s Love and Loss<\/em>. This isn’t an outline or story pitch; this is a full script by one of Sonic the Hedgehog’s greatest storytellers and biggest fans. Adapted with 20 years of hindsight by an all-star team of artists, I couldn’t be more proud to be part of this celebration of Archie’s Sonic. And readers will delight in Archie and IDW veteran Jennifer Hernandez’s <\/strong>work as cover and interior artist, bringing this story to life with style and flair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
