Solicit:
"Rehabilitation": Naugus may be gone, but the Freedom Fighters aren't yet whole. Can our heroes overcome when there's no enemy to fight? "Finding Your Voice, Part 1": Nicole's exile is ending, but she's still nervous. Can Mina help with the power of music?
#Sonictober2023
Day 17! Theme: Feeling. “I’m… Sonic? No, that’s not right… am I Metal Sonic? Accept no imitations… but am I an imitation? An improvement? What are these feelings? Why do I HAVE feelings? I… I… what am I…?”

Day 28! Theme: Ring. Throughout countless adventures, there have been many friends, enemies, victories, defeats, laughs and tears… all priceless memories in their own right, connected to each other by one constant, circular variable.

@ebettoran
#Sonictober2022
Day 23! Theme: Trust. “That look in his eyes… he truly doesn’t have the slightest doubt we’ll meet again, despite the impossible odds. Such boundless optimism transcends naïveté and borders on delusion… and yet, I can’t say I dislike it.”
Art by
@ebettoran

Hey everyone, GentlemanX here. Happy Halloween! Here's an update on Sonic Universe Online
#50
- the Sonic Underground finale. The issue is just about ready but we're working on an extra surprise that needs some more time! Thanks for your patience! 1/2
Happy Holidays from the ASO Team! This year we're all collectively sharing the seasonal cheer, just like Sonic and pals are! See if you can tell who drew who!
And what's that Sonic is holding? Open on Dec. 31st, huh? Guess you'll all need wait just a bit longer for the surprise.
#Sonictober2023
Day 12! Theme: Mystery. Even with all the secrets of the world that Sonic uncovered from traversing the Starfall Islands, one answer still eludes him… what is that strange symbol in the sky, and what significance did it hold to the Ancients?
Art by
@mi_itara
#Sonictober2023
Day 18! Theme: Bell. Today, the leader of a small teenage squad fighting against Dr. Eggman prepares to gather her team for a new mission… wait, that doesn’t really narrow it down. No wonder they got their personal belongings mixed up.
Art by
@corythec_art
#Sonictober2023
Day 26! Theme: Free Will. As the inventor of the roboticizer, Uncle Chuck now wonders if the opposite is also possible. Can a non-living object like a puppet be granted new life? It would certainly require a lot of tinkering…
Art by
@Arantarisu_Yamu
#Sonictober2023
Day 1! Theme: Beginning. Every iconic team gets its start somewhere. And no matter what reality, the freedom fighters always assemble for the same honest reasons: an unbreakable bond of friendship and a drive to fight for what's right.
Art by
@JadePesky
ASO
#Sonictober
Day 7! Theme: Home! Your home is where the heart is. That and the place for game night, with all you can eat snakes and fun co-op action with family. But yeah heart too. Wonder what game they're playing. My money is on Alien Swarm.
Art by
@Drawloverlala
#Sonictober2023
Day 28! Theme: Captain. Lift the anchors and set sail, it's time for a grand adventure with the Blue Sea Cheese crew! Just don't tell Marine that Blaze was double timing under different captains.

: Resemblance! As Shadow watches over the girl who so closely mirrors his friend from long ago, he remembers the suffering she has endured since arriving on Mobius. “Was Maria’s fate perhaps a cruel mercy?”, he wonders.

#Sonictober
Day 15! Theme: Present.
“I will release you from the chains of your past.”
“I will protect the future!”
“The present day… the here and now that you’ve stolen… TIME TO TAKE IT BACK!”
Art by
@AidenEye99
#Sonictober2023
Day 2! Theme: Rain. Moments in time drip away like raindrops on a stormy night. And as time and experiences pass by for Sonic and Sally, on this night, they just forget it it all, enjoying the sights of the calming, simple weather before them.
Art by
@ZapzzzZZZ
It’s been a full year since the release of Sonic Frontiers! The journey to the Starfall Islands may have answered some questions, but raised a hundred more in its place! Where can Sonic and friends possibly go from here? Look forward to the new horizons!
Art by
@vanessasonica
#31DaysofSonic
Day 9! Theme: Pride. Joke all you want, but having the source of ultimate power always put back on this island sooner or later is impressive in a world full of power-hungry bad guys, and Knuckles will be more than happy to remind you of that.
Art by
@AidenEye99
#31DaysofSonic
Day 24! Theme: Family. For Knuckles’ clan, reclaiming the Master Emerald was meant to usher in a new age of honor and prosperity. And yet, did their lust for power blind them to the priceless treasure right in front of them?
Art by
@Rero_nn
#Sonictober2022
Day 13! Theme: Star Crossed. The lifelike AI stared in wonder at the star shower above her… and yet, their beauty paled in comparison to the stars her partner saw in her eyes. Is it a mere reflection, or her own spark of life?
Art by
@sonicomic4ever
ASO
#Sonictober
Day 9! Theme: Beloved. Although Amy makes no secret about her crush, she still gets embarrassed from time to time. And since Sonic never fully turns her down, perhaps both hedgehogs are more shy than they’d like to admit?
Art by
@ambersonic96
ASO
#Sonictober
Day 27! Theme: Synergy! When chaos arises from the ancient Lyric, seeking to destroy all organic life and leave only the synthetic, it's going to take some Sonic Synergy and booming teamwork to return this relic back to the antiques shop!

@AidenEye99
I hope you’re ready for more hare-raising adventures, because SUO

The turn of the new year also brings the turn of the dawn, as the era of King Naugus comes to a close! But how much does the storm have left in it before we're all brought to the calm horizons beyond? Read to find out! Link Below!
#Sonictober2023
Day 21! Theme: Thorn. Whether it's in pinewood forests or deep jungles, if someone seeks to bring destruction to the peaceful existence of nature, they'll have a thorn in their side to deal with.

As StHO

#Sonictober2023
Day 14! Theme: Digital. Who would’ve thought that the two most calm and collected ladies on the team would be the most hardcore gamers? Nicole, I know you can rewrite data on the fly, but don’t cheat when you get to the towers, please.

#31DaysofSonic
Day 7! Theme: Emotion. In another part of the multiverse, a lone fighter attempted to kill her feelings after Dr. Eggman took everything from her. And now, the warm eyes that rekindled her hope are now more dead and unfeeling than her own.
Art by
@ambersonic96
#Sonictober2023
Day 27! Theme: Frenzy. Now, Sonic’s the kind of guy who usually rolls with the punches and doesn’t let much get to him. But if you ever manage to make him truly, genuinely angry? Boy, are you in trouble.
Art by
@BakoEnaka
#Sonictober2022
Day 24! Theme: Flight. Despite years of fighting wars and royal duties, Sally’s quite the hopeless romantic at heart. And Sonic knows exactly how to make her feel special… or should we say, “Super”?
Art by
@AnouckyShim
The veil of secrecy lifts on enemy and ally alike in Redemption, Part Two: “Fever Pitch!” With nothing left to lose, Naugus is determined to bring all of New Mobotropolis down with him! Can the Freedom Fighters trust their undercover counterparts long enough to save the city?!
ASO
#Sonictober
Day 25! Theme: Generations. Whether it’s in the past or another dimension, Mobius or Earth, or any other time and place, you can always count on Sonic to be the blue dude with the attitude! His story never ends until he stops running!
Art by
@Lemon_Eyebrows
#Sonictober2023
Day 22! Theme: Idol. Together with her band the Forget-Me-Knots, Mina garners love and cheer all across Mobius. But is it all a shallow act? Despite her mission to spread hope, does Mina herself even know what “hope” is?
Art by
@Sofibeth5445
Well, today has certainly been an exciting day for the Internet, huh? Whatever your personal opinion may be, one thing’s for certain: our boy can PUNCH!

#31DaysofSonic
Day 30! Theme: Showdown. “Y’know Metal, you should tell Eggman how bad he is at making a perfect copy of me. You’re missing all the good looks, the style, and most importantly, I don’t LOSE all the time!”
Art by
@ebettoran
#Sonictober2023
Day 6! Theme: Baker. Delicious delicacies are the best accompaniment for tea parties. And this event will be an especially scrumptious one, given what Cream and Vanilla are cooking up.
Art by
@Fliviartoon
#Sonictober2023
Day 19! Theme: Boxing. As we all know, Knuckles is rougher than the rest of them and tougher than leather. So when he wears protective equipment while training, he’s not the one being protected…

#Sonictober2022
Day 30! Theme: Unity. Two worlds, two heroes, and two sets of emeralds with unimaginable power. And when you combine their fire and light, they’re guaranteed to make their enemies go supernova… or velanova!
Art by
@AidenEye99
#Sonictober2022
Day 10! Theme: Meetings. Being a princess is tough, especially when you have one person who just never listens, and you also secretly love him for it. Gotta uphold your image in front of your people, though.

The long overdue final variant cover of StHO

Happy 30th Anniversary to Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM! Were it not for this cartoon, we wouldn't have Archie Sonic as we know it! So we express our heartfelt thanks to Ben Hurst, as well as everyone at Sega and DIC for creating the DNA for the world's most radical comic series!
Inktober Day 2! Theme: Mindless. Dr. Eggman went to great lengths to ensure Mecha Sally's obedience, reducing the once-proud princess to a metallic husk only capable of carrying out his evil agenda...
#Inktober2019

#Sonictober2023
Day 13! Theme: Nightmare. Having bad dreams when you sleep is one thing. But when you're greeted to this in the waking world, well, the nightmare truly becomes reality...

For anyone who's had their work taken and claimed as someone else's, don't let them try to silence you or get away with it. We recently just had our work on SUO

#Sonictober2023
Day 9! Theme: Adoration. Dress to impress, especially during the night of frights when everyone trying to look the best. Seems like Charmy's succeeding with his popular costume. Though knowing your audience and catering to their tastes helps too.
Art by
@AnOchibi
#Sonictober2023
Day 5! Theme: Werehog! What? The blue bozo's the only one who gets the rad transformations? If Sonic's going to cry about "how hard it is to keep control", then leave the power for the real man who can handle it -- and handle it in style!
Art by
@KitareArtist
#Sonictober2023
Day 29! Theme: Paladin. Sonic may be the worst of knights, slayer of kings… but even if he makes the entire world his enemy, even if nobody will ever know or appreciate what he did for them, his story will never end until he stops running.

#Sonictober2023
Day 23! Theme: Time. As a time traveler, Silver has had many adventures in the countless timelines of his world, all to make a better future. But can he even remember them all anymore, or if he was even the version of “him” that had them?

Day 8! Theme: Royalty. Having already been accustomed to a higher-class lifestyle, Sonia is able to adapt to the life of a princess quite easily. Still, she has her eyes on a certain prize that no amount of money can buy…

It’s time for us to throw our hats in the ring on this particular bandwagon! And for anyone who might happen to disagree, don’t worry. It’s okay to be wrong :P
DID YOU KNOW: Nearly 14 years after Sonic Underground ended, Archie Comics announced that issue
#50
of their Sonic Universe comic series would be an epilogue to Sonic Underground.
When the issue came out in early 2013 though, a story about Metal Sonic was there instead.
Sorry we're a day late, how was everyone's Halloween? Team Sonic had a blast, they went trick-or-treating as a group of brave warriors from another world. Their costumes proved to be quite popular!
