It is now unfortunately true, the officially-licenced "Sonic the Hedgehog," series, it's side series "Sonic Universe," and Digest books are officially over with now according to Sega themselves.
Before you all get angry, or point fingers at each other, Sega, Archie, former staff, or whomever, please do not spam this entry, or the club with negativity, or hatred. (And DO NOT attack anti-Archie Sonic fans/clubs, or point blame at them...)
We're a celebration of the Archie Sonic 24 year, and 290+ issue legacy, so let's try to show maturity, and positivity regardless of this unfortunate news.
Also, according to the Tweet, Sega states this is NOT the end of Sonic's appearance in the comic book format. Maybe someday, a different publisher (like IDW) will continue the series' canon, or make a whole new Sonic comic series for us to enjoy.
Until then, let us not weep, or show negativity, anger, or hatred. Let us instead continue to show our love, and support for this Sonic canon. Show love and support for our favorite characters, (whether they be game characters, SatA.M. characters, or Archie originals) our favorite Archie Sonic artists, writers, and editors. Let us continue through fanart, fanfics, fan-comics, or even just through casual discussion of the Archie Sonic series. Show love for your favorite issues, books, story-arcs, one-liners.
It may be the end of the longest lasting licensed comic based on a video game, (Sonic will be holding onto that title for quite awhile) but it is not the end of the fun, nor our enjoyment of the series.
Despite the good, and bad, personally, the Archie canon will always be my favorite official Sonic canon. It has comedy, drama, twists, the best characters, and events from the games, cartoons, and it's own to give it quite the legacy, and always let it stand out to me. Sonic will always keep running, and going on adventures to me.
So like Sonic himself, let's all keep running, no matter what! Let's always keep up the Freedom Fighters! Let's continue to have fun!
