IDW has been making the Sonic news headlines on a daily basis now. This time, they had a little help from Entertainment Weekly. We’ve learned a few more details about the first four issues of the series.

Tracy Yardley’s doing issue #1. As for the other three issues: “Each of the next three issues will feature a different artist, and then rotating art teams will take over once the book goes monthly.”
“Each of the first four issues also will feature one of Sonic’s classic allies — first up is Miles “Tails” Prower.”
“the series is introducing new characters to the Sonic canon.”
Nathalie Fourdraine will be one of the many IDW Sonic artists that make up the team. Fourdraine drew the bonus cover for issue #1, which is below.

There is still no word on the Freedom Fighters.

  You’ll do a article when it does?

For those why wants the freedom fighters back.. then please get over it! I don’t think they’ll be coming back. I do like Sally and the Freedom Fighters over the years. But I think it’s time for them to just go. Sega wants to make Sonic as a brand character after their newest contract rules. That’s why Archie left because of that. So the new Sonic Comic Series (From IDW) will be based more on the games. Everything will be new, new, and new. And if the Freedom Fighters won’t show up, then try to get used to it and grow up! I’m sure the new Sonic Comics will have better sales then the Archie Series. Plus, the majority of the Sonic Fans (Like more than 60%) are into the Sonic Games. And they’re NOT into the Archie Comics because of the freedom fighters. I’m sure they like some of them, but they just want the new comics to focus on the main characters and the story more based on the games.

Just being honest here.

Telling people who want them back to “get used to it and grow up” wasn’t necessary.

  This. It makes the rest of the comment irrelevant by making childish statements like that. Respect people’s love for characters and understand their desire for them to return. If you can’t do something as simple as that then you will get no respect from anyone for being so disrespectful.
  
  I’m not even that into the Freedom Fighters and even I thought that was uncalled for.

    I’m not being disrespectful! Did I said anything bad about them? Did I? No!
    
    I’m just sick and tired with this bringing back the Freedom Fighters to the IDW Comic. Which Sega and IDW confirmed that the’re not coming back.
    
    Look, I grew up reading the Sonic Archie Comics over the years, I do like he freedom fighters. But now.. since the new changes from Sega after their newest contract rules.. they now want Sonic to be as a brand character. And that’s why Archie left because of that. So now the IDW Comics will be involve with the Sonic Comics.. that means that it’ll be more based on the games than the Archie Story.
    
    Just being honest here.

      And there’s still a chance Sally Acorn and the Freedom Fighters will appear in IDW Sonic, maybe a spin-off series or something like that?

You might be honest, and a bit, rude, but still that’s just like…your opinion man.

“the series is introducing new characters to the Sonic canon.”
Because forget about the LARGE CAST WE ALREDY HAVE. We nee to obviously establish NEW characters to be used way more than those OBVIOUSLY unimportant main series ones!

Using a straight up copypaste of that now oldish logo kinda ruins what are otherwise great covers, removing the white border and gradients from it would make it fit in worlds better with the rest of it.

Making new main characters is a bad idea but they do need to make new supporting characters otherwise it would get stale fast and make the world feel tiny.
