    DC x Sonic Hedgehog #1 has plenty of action and even more fun while staying true to the core of these iconic characters. Honestly, this might make a great first DC comic for kids who dig the recent, underrated Sonic live action films. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Collier Jennings Mar 19, 2025

    DC X Sonic the Hedgehog #1 is a great start to a crossover that works unexpectedly well. Not since Ultraman X Avengers have I read a crossover that's this fun, this action packed, or this amazing. DC fans and Sonic fans alike need to race to their comic shops to pick this up. Read Full Review

    The issue has to do quite a bit of exposition to fuse the two concepts, and with twelve main characters not counting the villains, it has a lot of heavy lifting to do. But despite that, I wound up having a good deal of fun with it. Ian Flynn clearly knows the Sonic characters well, and he seems to have a good deal of love for the DCU as well. Read Full Review

    DC x Sonic the Hedgehog #1 is a strong start to this crossover that sees the Justice League meeting the speedsters and other characters from the #Sonic the Hedgehog universe. While the target audience seems to be readers of the Sonic the Hedgehog comics, there are plenty easter eggs for longtime DC Comics fans. Read Full Review

    If you're up for a ride, just turn off your brain and enjoy the art and whirlwind pacing. This crossover has four more issues to grow, but there's enough here for fans of either series to enjoy. Read Full Review

    I'd say that I'm pretty used to reviewing crossovers at this point. I've looked at Scooby-Doo, I've (unfortunately) looked at the Godzilla/Kong crossover. I'm not sure if it's just the base concept that appeals to me more, but this has been my favourite so far. This first issue works because the concept is fun. I don't think that the concept is strong enough to hold 5 issues though. Hoping the next issue has a bit more meat to it now that the introductions are over. However if you're just looking for an easy crossover book, this issue will hit the spot. Read Full Review
