Check out our preview of Sonic the Hedgehog x Godzilla issue 3
With a title like Sonic the Hedgehog x Godzilla, readers knew the king of the monsters would eventually show up in IDW’s new comic book miniseries, but it was anyone’s guess as to when he would arrive. In the first two issues, the focus was squarely on Mechagodzilla and Mothra doing battle in the metropolis of Station Square, where Sonic and the gang tried their best to deal with these monsters from another dimension. At the end of issue 2, Godzilla was revealed, and the spotlight will finally be on him in issue number 3, which will be on comic book store shelves on October 14.
“By reading Sonic the Hedgehog x Godzilla number 2, you’ve ventured past the point of no return!” series writer Nick Marino tells Polygon. “Just like Amy Rose, you’ve peeked behind the monstrous veil. You know that the peril and danger are real for Team Sonic, especially now that a ‘certain someone’ has crossed over. That said, there’s also a ‘certain someone else’ (with beautiful wings, natch) who’s calmed down a bit and might finally be ready to help out. Thank goodness because Team Sonic needs all the help they can get! Eggman’s evilest plans are just kicking into gear as he readies Operation Dark Future, and the final piece that he needs may have just fallen right into his lap.”
Here, IDW has shared with Polygon three exclusive pages from the upcoming issue, which finally sees Sonic and Godzilla come face-to-face — or at least face-to-tail.
Sonic the Hedgehog x Godzilla issue 3 will be available in comic book stores on October 14. Issues 4 and 5 are currently available for pre-order.
