SONIC'S 30TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL

IDW Publishing in June will publish Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Special, an 80-page comic book featuring three tales. The anniversary issue will feature the writings of authors Gale Galligan and the McElroy Brothers.

"We're celebrating a major milestone for the world's coolest hedgehog, so we needed creators who could capture the vibrant comedy and action of Sonic in style," said IDW editor David Mariotte. "The 30th Anniversary Special features possibly the greatest creative lineup ever assembled on a single issue of Sonic."

Also contirbuting will be Ian Flynn and artists Mauro Fonseca, Reggie Graham, Aaron Hammerstrom and Thomas Rothlisberger.

Here's how IDW describes the book:

"'Seasons of Chaos,' the first of three stories featured in the 30th Anniversary Special, comes courtesy of Flynn, Hammerstrom and Graham, and sends Sonic on a mission from pleasant spring valleys to winter wonderlands in search of Chaos Emeralds alongside his friends Miles 'Tails' Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Mighty the Armadillo, and Ray the Flying Squirrel.

"The vile Dr. Eggman takes center stage in the second story, with the surprisingly poignant 'Dr. Eggman's Birthday' by Galligan and Rothlisberger... because this momentous occasion belongs to the bad doctor, Sonic's 30-year long nemesis, as much as it does to the Blue Blur.

"Finally, in the action-packed and laugh-inducing third story 'Sonic Learns to Drive' by the McElroy Brothers and Fonseca, Sonic's up against a tough challenge: when the fastest thing alive can outrun any car, will Sonic have the patience to learn what to do behind the wheel... or will he finally get left in the dust?"

IDW will also be producing the Sonic the Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Celebration: The Deluxe Edition, a hardcover version with special bonus content and a level of added prestige for $19.99. Hitting stores on Oct. 5, the Deluxe Edition features an additional story by Gale Galligan, a cover gallery, a 'From Script to Comic' feature and more.

IDW also will release Sonic the Hedgehog: The IDW Collection, Vol. 1 for $59.99 on June 22, debuting a new line of oversized Sonic hardcover editions that will encompass the ongoing series, annuals and mini-series in the recommended reading order. The first volume collects issues #1-12 of IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog comics, comprising the complete "Fallout," "The Fate of Dr. Eggman" and "Battle for Angel Island" story arcs.



BRIEFLY

STAR WARS VARIANTS: Marvel Comics will also be honoring Pride Month with Star Wars Pride covers throughout June.

Marvel has unveiled the cover to Doctor Aphra #11, a portrait of Sana Starros by artist Jan Bazaldua and colorist Rachelle Rosenberg.

"This talented team of artists is bringing so much passion and enthusiasm to these covers," editor Tom Groneman said. "For me, sharing that passion with fans and readers is a wonderful celebration of the most unique, compelling and iconic characters in the Star Wars galaxy."
