A more serious tone
A more serious tone
The longest running Sonic endeavor, the Archie-published Sonic The Hedgehog comic has been in publication for nearly seventeen years. In prototypical comic book fashion, the series began as a brightly-colored, light-hearted comedy which slowly evolved into a much more dark and serious tale. It didn't take long for the landscape of the Sonic The Hedgehog comics to become entirely foreign to anyone who had only seen Sonic in his video games.


Over the years, most of the Sonic the Hedgehog video game releases were complimented with a comic adaptation either in a mini-series, or brief story arc within the main Sonic The Hedgehog volume, beginning with the Sonic The Hedgehog 3 adaptation in issue #13, introducing Sonic's rival and ally, Knuckles.

In 2005, Archie began publishing the Sonic X comic, an adaptation of the anime series of the same name. It is a more modern take on Sonic for a younger generation.

Special Forms

Under certain circumstances, Sonic can transform into different forms, usually from gathering rings or using Emeralds.

Fleetway's Super Sonic.
This is consider Sonic's most common special form and is one of the most powerful of his transformations. Usually achieved when he aquires seven Chaos Emeralds, or one Super Emerald. Super Sonic has the ability to fly and is virtually invincible. His aura can negate negative energies, such as Perfect Chaos or Knuckles as Enerjak.

In the Fleetway comics, Super Sonic was more of a berserker than the other incarnations, having Sonic being all powerful without any restraint. He would fight his friends and even harm Amy Rose. In an issue of the Archie Series, Sonic and Super Sonic were separated on an alien planet that had red Chaos Emeralds. This Super Sonic acted much like the Fleetway version.

Super Emerald Forms

In Sonic The Hedgehog #71, the late Nate Morgan once devised a plan to have Sonic strap a Super Emerald to his back in order to maximize Sonic's speed, allowing him to race around to globe repeatedly in order to draw away the power of a satellite laser beam that was reversing time in Knothole Village. The immense power of the Super Emerald caused Sonic to change into several forms, first his well-known Super Sonic, and then several that had never, and so far, were never seen again. After Super Sonic, he became Ultra Sonic. Then while blazing through the sands of the Great Desert, he became Solar Sonic. In the frozen Arctic Tundras, he was transformed into Polar Sonic, and while charging through the jungles, he became known as Eco Sonic for a short while. Because the satellite was reversing time, the issue actually played out in reverse, beginning with the end of the story, and ending with the beginning. This sequence of Sonic using the Super Emerald's power to warp himself at incredible speeds was used as the justification for Sonic changing from his original appearance, to Sonic's new look which was mandated with the release of the Dreamcast game Sonic Adventure. This look has remained ever since.

Darkspine Sonic
Darkspine Sonic

Darkspine Sonic When trapped in the storybook world of the Arabian Nights, Sonic collected the World Rings in order to stop the evil genie Erazor Djinn, who was erasing pages from the book in order to control the entire world within. When Erazor Djinn attacks Sonic's ally, Sharha the Ring Genie, Sonic absorbs some of the World RIngs and is transformed into Darkspine Sonic.  In this form, he can fly at lightning-fast speeds and is nearly invincible, though his defenses are not as strong as his Super Sonic form.
Sonic the Werehog
Sonic the Werehog

Werehog Sonic

When Robotnik catches Super Sonic off-guard, he is able to capture him and extract the Chaos Emeralds from him.
Robotnik uses these emeralds to power a laser cannon that blasts a great fissure in the planet. Released from the great depths within the planet, a ferocious spirit enters Sonic's body, transforming him into a "Werehog". Though the literal translation of "werehog" would be "man-hog", the werehog is meant to be a cross between a wolf and Sonic the Hedgehog, as a picture makes perfectly obvious.

Gold Knight Sonic: in Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic uses the power of Excalibur to transform into Gold Knight Sonic, where his body is covered in golden knight armor complete with Sonic-style hedgehog spines, a red cape, and a helmet covering his face.  He is seen to be able to fly and move at supersonic speed (like his other super forms) and can unleash a slash of energy from his sword.  Any other powers are not revealed as of yet.
