What is the DC x Sonic the Hedgehog comic about?
DC’s collected-edition synopsis sets up a dimensional invasion: Darkseid crosses into Sonic’s world seeking ultimate power, and the Justice League arrives to help Sonic and his friends. The DC Publicity and SEGA of America announcement described the story as “an unprecedented crossover event where the Justice League and Team Sonic must unite to save their worlds from a major threat.”
The collaboration pairs characters from the two universes:
- Sonic and the Flash
- Shadow and Batman
- Knuckles and Superman
- Amy Rose and Wonder Woman
- Silver and Green Lantern
- Tails and Cyborg
How many issues are there, and when were they released?
DC and SEGA announced a five-issue monthly series, planned to run from March through July 2025. DC later reported that issue #1 was published on March 19, 2025, and issue #2 reached stores on April 16, 2025. DC’s report said the first issue had sold out at the distributor level at that time; that announcement does not establish current availability, scarcity, or resale value.

Should you look for single issues or the collected edition?
| Format | What DC’s information establishes | What to check before buying |
|---|---|---|
| Individual issues | A five-issue series was announced. DC reported publication dates for issues #1 and #2. | Issue number, cover or variant, and current availability. The announcement that issue #1 sold out at the distributor level was time-specific, not a current stock report. |
| Collected graphic novel | DC lists a 105-page edition with a Teen rating, a U.S. list price of $17.99, and an on-sale date of October 21, 2025. | Check current retailer stock and price; DC’s listed price is not a guarantee of today’s retail price. |
The collected edition gathers the crossover in one volume, while single issues let readers choose specific installments or covers. DC’s listing provides the publisher’s edition details, not a comparison of present-day retailer prices or stock.

Was this only a comic-book collaboration?
No. The September 2024 announcement also described plans for a consumer-products collection spanning apparel, toys, collectibles, and other categories. It established intended product categories, but did not confirm the current availability of any particular item.
