After months of anticipation and plenty of teasing, the wait is finally over: the first installment of the Sonic the Hedgehog and DC Comics crossover series has arrived. This limited run of comics brings together Sonic and his pals with the iconic members of the Justice League, each superhero being paired with one of Sega’s beloved characters. Predictably, Sonic finds himself zooming alongside The Flash, while Tails matches wits and tech smarts with Cyborg. Meanwhile, Shadow is set for an intense face-off with none other than Batman.
Though at first glance Bruce Wayne and Shadow might seem worlds apart, they share more than just a moody exterior. Both characters are intricately shaped by profound personal losses, creating a surprising yet fitting bond over shared grief. Fans speculated whether this emotional underpinning would be explored, and the comic wasted no time in delivering on that promise, even in its very first issue.
