Besides being a video game icon, Sonic the Hedgehog has enjoyed a life in comics as well. With numerous series and stories told with Archie Comics, however, the partnership between Sega and Archie seems to be coming to an end.

Sega made the following announcement::

After 24 years of memorable storytelling, SEGA of America will conclude their Sonic the Hedgehog publishing partnership program with Archie Comics. This does not mark the end of Sonic in comics, but signifies SEGA of America’s decision to take a different direction for the series that will be announced at a later date. SEGA would like to thank Sonic’s amazing fans for their loyalty and passion over all the years. SEGA looks forward to providing more information soon.

That “more information soon” probably means Sonic is currently trying to find a new publisher to call home. No additional information is available at this time.
