After months of anticipation, fans finally get to dive into the first issue of the Sonic the Hedgehog and DC Comics crossover. This limited comic series features Sonic and his friends joining forces with the Justice League, pairing each Sega character with a DC superhero. Naturally, Sonic teams up with The Flash for some lightning-fast action. Tails pairs his tech expertise with Cyborg’s skills, and perhaps most intriguingly, Shadow shares the pages with Batman.
The meeting of Bruce Wayne and Shadow is as dramatic as one might expect. Both characters are not only known for their brooding personalities but also share a deeper connection through the experience of traumatic loss. Since the crossover was first hinted at, fans have been eager to see how Batman and Shadow might connect on this emotional level. It seems just one issue in, their expectations are already being met. – Kenneth Shepard
