IDW Publishing has recently announced that they will be publishing a special Sonic the Hedgehog x Godzilla crossover book.
The book will be written by Nick Marino with art by Jack Lawrence and will be released this summer of 2026 by IDW Publishing.
The plot revealed by IDW Publishing confirms that the Big G and other classic kaijus will be transported in Sonic’s world which gives the evil Dr. Eggman an idea to use the power of the kaiju to enact one of his evil schemes. And in traditional comics fashion, its only Sonic the Hedgehog who can stop this. Sonic and his team which consists of classic characters fans love including Amy Rose, Tails, Knuckles the Echidna and Shadow the Hedgehog.
“I’m doing my best to cook up fun scenarios for Jack to draw, and then I’m making sure my panel counts leave enough room for him to properly play around with the fantastic spectacle that this crossover deserves,” commented Marino. “I’m fascinated by the scale of life, how we perceive lifeforms differently from bacteria to planet-wide ecosystems, from micro to macro. This particular character combination allows me to explore that in a fun way, and it’s been really satisfying. I hope our readers agree that the result is a cohesive mix of these two visual focuses– small speedsters and massive monsters– that delivers the best of both worlds!”
“Sonic and Godzilla are such fun, action-packed franchises on their own, so it was a natural fit to pair them together, and it’s been a treat seeing the story and art come together,” added IDW’s Sonic Editorial. “We know how long fans have been asking for this crossover, and we wanted to make sure it’ll be worth the wait, so we’re going big: A mysterious portal, a massive kaiju attack on Sonic’s World that inspires a new scheme by Dr. Eggman to take over the world, Knuckles and Shadow joining alongside Amy and Tails… and of course, plenty of Sonic and Godzilla!
“An undertaking like this isn’t possible alone, though, so a huge thanks to our partners at SEGA® and Toho, who have been there every step of the way with guidance and support, and to our fantastic creative team of Nick Marino, Jack Lawrence, and colorist Reggie Graham, who have brought this story to life. It’s been a blast working on this series, and we’re so excited to finally be able to share it with fans!”
