Here is something exciting for fans of the Sonic franchise – Shadow the Hedgehog is all set to feature in a brand new manga series slated for debut this October, ComicBook reported. Details aren’t available at the moment but what is known is that Corocoro Comics would be publishing the new manga. This no doubt will make for a significant development for SEGA’s iconic speedster that can be considered to be a cultural phenomenon in its own right.

We have earlier seen the popular character not only as a mascot for gamers but in live-action films along with so many other things as well. Now, with a manga series being dedicated to the popular comic character known for his own unique ways, it will be stepping into a whole new segment that enjoys immense popularity in several parts of the world.

What is interesting is that the manga is getting launched at the same time as Sonic x Shadow Generations, which will mark the newest addition to the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. SEGA had earlier announced the game is going to be released in October 2024. The game will be focussing on the thrilling adventures that Shadow got into during the events of Sonic Generations while dealing with the dirty tricks played out by Black Doom.

No wonder fans are excited as anticipation builds for the game. The new manga is going to not only complement the game but also expand on its storyline. All of this promises an exciting spectacle ahead in the coming months with fans getting an immersive experience as they delve deeper into the world of Shadow the Hedgehog and his new adventures via both the video game and manga series.

Meanwhile, the Sonic franchise has already had a rich association with manga, what with Sonic the Hedgehog Story Comic already featuring in a manga way back in 1991. Thereafter, we have also seen the one-shot “Sonic Superstars Start Book’ that was released more recently in 2023. Now, thanks to Corocoro Comics, Shadow the Hedgehog is all set to be the star of a new manga series which in turn will mark a brand new chapter in the franchise’s rich legacy.
