IDW Sonic Annual 2020 Announced

Today, IDW Publishing announced the Sonic comic annual, a big hit in 2019, will return next March for 2020.

A wide array of artists and writers will contribute to the annual, which will be out late in March. Ian Flynn, of course, is on board with a story, as is Caleb Goellner, Evan Stanley, Gigi Dutreix, and others. Evan Stanley, Reggie Jon Gray, Reggie Graham, Abby Bulmer, and others are on art duty. “Sonic Team” is listed as the cover artist, according to Previews World, indicating another official cover from a staff member. Yuji Uekawa drew a 2019 Annual cover. We understand Tracy Yardley is behind the RI cover, returning to the franchise after announcing a break earlier this year.

A description of the annual and cover art follows.
