Sonic: Mega Drive #1 will reunite the creative team behind the 2015 Worlds Unite event, writer Ian Flynn, artist Tyson Hesse, letterer Jack Morelli, and colorist Matt Herms.

“With more surprises on the way for Sonic’s 25th Anniversary, fans are not going to want to miss this epic “Classic Sonic” story.” teased Lovallo.
