Inside the Pages: Sonic #199

One of the few noteworthy items to creep up yesterday that was not an April Fools joke was Archie Comic releasing new information on Sonic the Hedgehog #199, as the comic’s shipping date was yesterday.

Ian Flynn wrote the script to Knocking On Eggman’s Door, the story leading up to the milestone 200th issue.  Tracy Yardley is the artist.  The issue will be in comic book stores next week and at newsstands later in the month,

Take a look at the official description below, and then be sure to have a glance at the front cover and first five pages of Sonic #199.

“Knocking on Eggman’s Door”: Sonic leads the combined might of the Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix in a final push against Dr. Robotnik and his Eggman Empire! In this climactic battle old friendships and rivalries are revisited, family confronts family, and a treacherous plot is revealed that you won’t believe! You simply cannot afford to miss this pulse-pounding lead-in to the mega-milestone SONIC #200!
