    While some earlier feedback suggested that the five-issue length might lead to a rushed pace, this final issue has the opportunity to deliver a satisfying and explosive conclusion that ties all the threads together. For fans who have enjoyed the ride so far, DC X Sonic The Hedgehog #5 is an absolute must-read, promising a chaotic and memorable finale to one of the year's most surprisingly delightful crossovers.

    In many ways, I think this was essentially a pilot showing us how the characters interact, who they fight, and how their powers can mirror each other. From that perspective, I think it worked very well and will likely find a big audience well outside of comics thanks to how huge Sonic is. Read Full Review

    There you have it! I must say, I've had a really good time with this. It hasn't reinvented the wheel or anything, but it's delivered very well on a very cool premise. It's very apparent that there's a lot of love for both franchises here, and you can feel it in every panel of the book. It's made me want to read moreSonic, and I can only hope it will make someSonic reader want to pick up a DC book. I really look forward to any continuations! Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Jul 31, 2025

    Sonic is easily the single most popular non-comic book hero. The fusion between Sonic and the Justice League is a very natural one. Given the right kind of momentum, they could easily occupy the exact same multiverse with regular titles that regularly crossover. Theoretically there could be a lot of spillover between audiences of both properties who might not normally be interested in both. If Sonic was to gain just a bit more gravity around the edges of the cartooniness of its conflict, the two would be immensely compatible. That kind of lasting fusion could be a lot of fun.

    Graphic Policy - Logan Dalton Jul 31, 2025

    While temperatures soar and outside world continues to plunge into ideological darkness, the DC x Sonic the Hedgehog has been a nice escape as two, well-matched teams of wholesome heroes work together to save the universe and learn something about themselves through their experiences in different settings. I could read Ian Flynn's dialogue for the interactions between these iconic characters all day, and Thomas and Herms bring the candy colored action that makes you feel like you're playing video games in your neighbor's basement after a long hot day. The recent live action Sonic the Hedgehog films are a great way to introduce kids to the superhero genre, and this comic kind of bridges the gap between those movies and something like the DC Animated Universe or even the vast never ending world of Detective Comics Comics.
