SEGA of America and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products announced a global Sonic the Hedgehog and DC collaboration on September 24, 2024. Its centerpiece was a five-issue comic bringing Sonic and friends together with the Justice League; a licensed consumer-products collection was also planned. The original comic is now available as a collected edition, and DC lists a separate follow-up series, DC x Sonic the Hedgehog: Metal Legion, for 2026.

What is the Sonic and DC crossover?

The collaboration pairs characters from SEGA’s Sonic the Hedgehog with DC’s Justice League across comics and consumer products. The first announced comic was written by Ian Flynn, then known for writing the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series. DC originally planned the five issues to run monthly from March through July 2025. DC’s catalog dates issue #1 to March 19, 2025, so that schedule is a past release plan, not an upcoming publication date. DC and SEGA’s announcement says the crossover was teased on Batman Day, September 21, three days before the formal announcement.

Which Sonic characters are the Justice League?

The announced character designs pair Team Sonic with members of the Justice League:

Sonic character Justice League counterpart
Sonic The Flash
Shadow the Hedgehog Batman
Knuckles Superman
Amy Rose Wonder Woman
Silver the Hedgehog Green Lantern
Tails Cyborg

DC credited the initial character art to Warner Bros. Global Consumer Products and SEGA of America.

DC X SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
  • Created By: Ian Flynn, Adam Bryce Thomas, Pablo M. Collar
  • Release Date: September 2, 2025

What happens in the original comic?

DC’s description for DC x Sonic the Hedgehog #1 says Darkseid crosses dimensions to invade Sonic’s world in search of ultimate power, drawing the Justice League into the conflict. Ian Flynn wrote the issue, Adam Bryce Thomas provided the art, Pablo M. Collar created the cover, and Matt Herms handled colors. DC lists the single issue as 20 pages, Teen-rated, priced at $3.99 in the U.S., with an on-sale date of March 19, 2025. DC’s issue listing provides the catalog details.

Where can you read DC x Sonic the Hedgehog?

DC lists both the single issue and a collected graphic novel edition. The collected edition is the one-volume option for readers who want the original story together rather than in individual issues.

Format DC catalog details Best suited to
Issue #1 20 pages; Teen; $3.99 U.S.; on sale March 19, 2025 Readers collecting or reading individual issues
Collected graphic novel 105 pages; Teen; $17.99 U.S.; on sale October 21, 2025 Readers who prefer the story in one volume

These are DC catalog specifications, not a check of current retailer stock. See DC’s collected-edition listing for the volume’s details; availability and prices at retailers may differ.

What toys and merchandise were announced?

The original 2024 announcement described a planned global collection across categories including apparel, toys, and collectibles, with a late-2025 target. It did not name specific products or retailers. On May 5, 2025, JAKKS Pacific announced a licensed toy line developed with SEGA of America and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products. Its stated formats were articulated action figures, vehicles, and plush, with Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman among the featured characters. JAKKS said the products were planned for shelves and online retailers in Fall 2025; that announcement does not confirm current stock or provide a complete catalog of items. JAKKS Pacific’s announcement gives the planned product formats and timing.

Is there a follow-up comic?

Yes. DC lists DC x Sonic the Hedgehog: Metal Legion as a later series, separate from the five-issue 2025 crossover.
