Sonic the Hedgehog, Vol. 1: Fallout

By Ian Flynn

Sonic at full speed, in a comic that looks and moves exactly like the games your child races through.

Dr. Eggman has vanished, but his army of robots is still attacking towns, so Sonic zips from place to place freeing captured animals and smashing badniks. Tails, Amy, and Knuckles pitch in, and a new threat starts to stir underneath it all. It's fast, bright, and full of the wisecracks Sonic is known for.

The story is told in bursts of motion and one-liners, so there's never a wall of text to stall on. A child who knows Sonic from the screen recognizes every character on sight, and a long series stretches out behind this first volume for anyone who wants to keep going.
