Sonic The Hedgehog has
achieved something few comic book characters from the 1990s
have: his title has survived for over a dozen years! Why?
Chalk it up to a fiercely loyal fan base (comprised of a
surprising number of adults in addition to children) who
take their hero as seriously as fans of Star Trek! The comic
books offer fans adventures, which go beyond the video games
and animated cartoons to expand the Sonic universe- and the
personalities of the characters who populate it. Now, as we
start the countdown to Sonic's landmark 150th issue, the
future of that universe and all it stands for hangs in the
balance, as Sonic does battle in the most anticipated... and
dreaded... conflict of his career!
The
pulse-pounding action never lets up in "The Good, the Bad
and the Unknown: Prototype," the story that kicks off SONIC
THE HEDGEHOG # 146. The first part of a four-part story to
continue over the next four issues lays down the gauntlet:
Shadow is back and he's looking for a showdown with Sonic!
As if Shadow wasn't enough other threats, both old and new,
are lurking in the darkness. With an event this big rocking
Sonic's world, could the attention of Dr. Robotnik be too
far off? Don't dare miss what is perhaps the most dire
situation Sonic's ever faced! SCRIPT: Ken Penders. ART:
Steven Butler (pencils) & Jim Amash (inks).

HEDGEHOG # 146,
