Sonic Super Special Gets American Release

To celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog’s 20th year in gaming, Archie has announced they are planning a Sonic the Hedgehog quarterly magazine for American readers called the Sonic Super Special. Similar to the UK’s Sonic the Comic, it will be mostly just reprints of some of the more bigger Sonic tales from the comics with some extra articles thrown in, just like they did previously with their Life with Archie magazine. Unlike the UK version however, there are no plans currently to included new stories. The first issue of Sonic Super Special will arrive in late October. Check out the press release below with all the insane details, sourced from Sega Bits.
