Sonic har været involveret i utallige crossovers gennem årene. Han mødte for nylig DC-superheltene, og før det har han haft eventyr med blandt andre Mega Man, Sabrina the Teenage Witch og Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Nu er det tid til endnu et crossover.
Denne gang virker samarbejdet dog en smule usandsynligt, da IGN afslører, at Segas fartglade pindsvin skal kæmpe mod Godzilla i en ny IDW-tegneserie. Godzilla Rivals-skaberen Nick Marino står bag historien, som bliver illustreret af Jack Lawrence og farvelagt af Reggie Graham. I annonceringen kan man blandt andet læse:
"IDW is constantly brainstorming new potential crossovers, and we've always been especially excited about the possibility of bringing these two iconic licenses together. This crossover in particular is also one that fans have been asking us for loud and clear for years, so it's been high up on the list to try to make happen. Who wouldn't want to see the Blue Blur vs. the King of the Monsters, after all? So this idea has actually been on the IDW team's radar for a very long time, but it wasn't until the last year or so that all the pieces fell into place and we could get to work on it! We're lucky to have such a great creative team to bring this story to life, and of course, this crossover would not have been possible without a tremendous amount of support from Sega and Toho!"
Marino fortæller også, at meget af inspirationen kommer fra Dreamcast-klassikeren Sonic Adventure, som havde en "hub-verden" sat i en storby:
"Sonic Adventure became a huge inspiration on this project somewhere in the second-ish year of development (it's been a long ride!). When you're dealing with giant monsters, you have to think on a bigger scale, and Station Square provided an incredible canvas for us to splatter with destruction and mayhem. My collaborators, Jack Lawrence and Reggie Graham, have risen to the challenge, depicting that special city with jaw-dropping detail."
Det første nummer udkommer til sommer på en dato, der endnu ikke er fastlagt. Du kan se forsiden nedenfor.
