Welcome to Sonic’s comic book adventures -- A world unique & beyond what you know from the games! Where Sonic and his friends work to save the world from the forces of evil!

ORIGINS OF THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS! and his pals are the only force able to stand up to the evil scientist, Dr. Eggman! The evil doctor’s forces of world domination have tried time and time again to enslave the free creatures of the planet and to conquer anything or anyone in their path!

Only the super-speedy heroics of everyone’s favorite blue hedgehog have saved the day (and looked way cool while doing it)!

While Sonic and the Freedom Fighters may be veteran heroes now, their lifestyle of performing super heroics was not something they were simply born into. For team members Sally Acorn and Rotor the Walrus, the journey to form and join the Freedom Fighters was a path they found for themselves. Little did they know that their lives would change forever...
