Archie Update: Sonic Comics Not In October 2017 Solicitations
Perhaps the best news we’ve gotten about the Archie Sonic hiatus is that we’ll be getting official word this week. Sadly, that hasn’t stopped the bad news machine at all. Even as we’re about to see the silence be broken on the hiatus, new developments suggest that the hiatus itself is still far from over.
The Archie solicitations for October came out today and, once again, the lack of Sonic issues will continue. This means that nine months will have passed since the last Sonic issue was released, and it also suggests that autumn will be a quiet one. In fact, it’s getting to the point now that the hiatus wouldn’t come to an end until, at the very earliest, the beginning of the holiday season.
Nevertheless, with an Archie panel happening on Saturday and Sonic Archie news coming this week, it’s going to be a very interesting few days. We will finally learn just what is going on.
has dropped the word “cancelled”.

Only two more, then we’ll have a full-bingo!
Why a full bingo?
Maybe Archie resumes Sonic in November or the Sonic rights from Sega get passed on to another comic company depending on the news Archie and Sega get from this weekend’s 2017 San Diego Comic-Con. (Maybe tjhe comic company that starts with I and publishes the My Little Pony, Transformers, Mickey Mouse, and Donald Duck comics finally gets the Sonic rights with Sega wishes by announcement at the SDCC???)
Maybe it’s a new publisher and they’ll completely strip the old continuity. If I remember correctly “that guy” and plenty of other staff except Tracey were all huge fans with unproven talent with “that guy” begging to write story for the comic until they let him. Personally I never liked the comics so a completely new slate with new staff might work.
Well if this series does end up in a new publisher hands pray and hope the old fans stick around long enough because I smell a real cancellation coming.
