Covers and Solicitations for Sonic The Hedgehog #275: Worlds Unite Part 11

We’re closing in on the end of Archie’s Worlds Unite mega-event– well, the solicitations part, anyway– with the 275th issue of Sonic The Hedgehog.

Plus, with this, Sonic is now tied for the longest-running licensed comic book under a single publisher (in terms of straight numbering) with Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian! Marvel’s Conan also had 12 annuals, but if we were to take into account all the extra stuff the Blue Blur has under his non-existent belt, he’d totally blow the barbarian out of the water!

Congratulations to Sonic, and everyone involved in getting him this far, which undoubtedly helped pave the way for our own true blue hero to make a lasting impression in serial storytelling!

To celebrate the 275th issue, there will be five variant covers, three of which feature Mega Man and X as guests at the super Sonic celebration. From Comics Alliance (via TSSZ News):

CELEBRATE 275 ISSUES OF SONIC THE HEDGEHOG with his good buddy Mega Man and the worlds of STREET FIGHTER, BILLY HATCHER, NiGHTS INTO DREAMS, MONSTER HUNTER and more in this DOUBLE-SIZED ISSUE! “Worlds Unite” Part Eleven: It’s pan-dimensional pandemonium as the unified army begins their attack on Sigma!  Sonic, Mega Man and X lead an all-star roster of heroes from across the SEGA and Capcom universes in an all-out assault against the villainous robot from the future!  Will they be enough to save all their worlds, or has Sigma already become a god?  Featuring a wrap-around cover from the legendary Patrick “SPAZ” Spaziante!
