QUOTE ("Ian Flynn":b2od0hbh)
What is "Sonic Universe?"
"Sonic Universe" will be a new on-going monthly title set in the "Sonic the Hedgehog" universe. Makes the title pretty apt, ne?
What will SU be about?
SU will cover characters and settings outside of the normal scope of STH. So supporting cast members and "ElseWorld" stories will be here. The sky isn't the limit here - it's the universe!
What will happen to "Sonic X?"
SX had a good, solid run. We're taking our cue from "Seinfeld" and calling it quits while we're ahead. That, and given the nature of SU, it's not entirely impossible we'll never see SX again. Just don't look for it for a while.
We will be going out with a bang, though. More on that in a minute.
When does the awesome start?
I can't reveal the date yet, but you can expect things to get rolling very early 2009.
If it's set in the Prime universe (mostly), will there be cross-overs?
Yes and no. Lemme 'splain...
By its very nature, SU will be in a perpetual cross-over with STH, and visa versa. Events in STH will affect the SU world, and stuff that happens in SU will have consequences in STH. We're trying to make it so you don't have to read both to get what's going on, but it'll still be nice to pick up both books each month.
That said, there will be more direct cross-overs a la the old KTE days. More on that in a minute!
Spoilers? Please?!
This info thread wouldn't be very much fun without them, now would it?
First off, there's going to be a pretty epic cross-over the end of this year. Consider this your check list!
"Bold New Moebius" ends with the epic "Hedgehog Havoc" two-part story. Something will happen in STH#196 that sends Shadow and Metal Sonic away . . .
. . . and into SX#40! "The End" will be the grand, sweeping curtain call for the series. Shadow and Metal Sonic will then be whisked away into . . .
. . . Sonic Universe #1! "Living Weapons" will mark the beginning of the book and its opening story arc.
How are they transported? Where do they wind up in SU#1? Who do they meet? You'll just have to read to find out!
Whoa. So what . . .?
I'M NOT DONE YET!
While SU is gearing up, we'll be getting into the Road to #200. Did you think Sonic's "punishment" in STH#192 was light? Did you think I'd let it go that easy? HA!
And y'all have been wondering about Zonic, right?
And do I even need to plug STH#200? STH#175 was just Round One, folks. The final push by our heroes is going to be big, and the results will be affecting the books for literally years to come. That's not hype - that's a promise!
Done now?
Hardly! This is the SU info thread, right? It's time for some closing teases:
- Shadow fans: get ready for a whole bunch of Shadow.
- Knuckles fans: get ready for a whole bunch of Knuckles.
- Do you like it when we fill in little gaps in the history? Get ready.
- It's sure been a long time since we've had a new character on the book, isn't it? You don't have to wait much longer.
- And a whole bunch more . . . but I think I've reached the limit that I can reveal!

Just some info, though I don't think a lot of people here will like it.
