DC and SEGA of America have revealed cover art and an interior preview of their upcoming comic book series that teams up DC’s Justice League with the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. 

In “DC x Sonic the Hedgehog” by writer, Ian Flynn and artist, Adam Bryce Thomas, the Justice League will meet Sonic and friends to kick off a new, five-issue comic book series. The new series features an unprecedented crossover event where the Justice League and Team Sonic must unite to save their worlds from a major threat. “DC x Sonic the Hedgehog No. 1” by Flynn, Thomas and colorist, Matt Herms, will publish on March 19, with a cover by Pablo M. Collar and a variant cover by Ethan Young. 

The action speeds up when Darkseid crosses dimensions to invade the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, seeking the ultimate power. Sonic and his friends have faced everything from mad scientists to ancient spirits, but the forces of Apokolips may be too much for them, and the full heroic might of the Justice League arrives to back them up. 

Throughout the five issues of “DC x Sonic the Hedgehog,” sacrifices will be made, heroes will rise and the need for speed will test the Justice League and Team Sonic to their limits.  

Announced during SEGA’s Sonic Central livestream event in Sept. 2024, the comic book series releases ahead of a larger collaboration spanning apparel, toys, collectibles and more by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products and SEGA of America. Releasing later in 2025, the collection will feature Shadow the Hedgehog as Batman, Knuckles as Superman, Amy Rose as Wonder Woman, Silver the Hedgehog as Green Lantern, Tails as Cyborg and Sonic as The Flash! The campaign kicked off on Batman Day 2024 when Sonic and DC’s social media accounts shared a video of Shadow donning his own Batman suit. 

Available exclusively at Target.com, the first apparel celebrating the DC x Sonic collaboration features Shadow the Hedgehog as Batman on T-shirts and hoodies. More to come as this exciting crossover partnership races through 2025, 2026 and beyond.
