Sega Reveals Sonic Boom Figures To Complement Animated Series And Comic
Earlier this year, Sega announced a grand experiment to hand the Sonic franchise to two Western studios. In combination with the pair of Sonic Boom games for Wii U and 3DS, the company is also set to launch an animated series, comic, and merchandising line.
The cartoon begins on November 8 on Cartoon Network, and today Sega has announced the next chapter in its relationship with Archie Comics. The blue blur has been featured in a number of series, even crossing paths with Capcom’s Mega Man.
Sonic Boom begins a brand new story set in the world of the upcoming games. In addition to these new tales, Tomy has created action figures of some of the principle characters.

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
