Go Running In A Winter Wonderland In Sonic The Hedgehog’s ‘Mega Drive: The Next Level’ [Preview]

Say what you will about Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comics and their truly shocking level of complex continuity --- and I am, in fact, saying what I will about that --- but you have to admit that they're pretty good about providing content for new readers. Take, for instance, last summer's Mega Drive one-shot, which celebrated Sonic's 25th anniversary with a classic style adventure that serves as a showcase for the book and its creative teams without getting all caught up in debating the rights of sentient AIs and the origins of the planet Mobius.

And now, Archie is doing another one. On November 2, Sonic and his pals are heading off on another adventure, and they're going through a delightfully snowy winter wonderland and a spooky, scary forest. Check out a preview below!
