Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails, Knuckles, and the rest of the Sonic Team gang are about to collide with the DC Universe in the upcoming crossover series DC x Sonic the Hedgehog, and it will be a race to discover who really is the ultimate speedster.

DC and SEGA have finally released the official cover art for DC x Sonic the Hedgehog, the upcoming comic book series that brings together the unlikely teams of the Justice League and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Perhaps it's that chaos that will lead to the mash-up between the heroes becoming literal, as Sonic is mashed-up with Flash, Shadow becomes Batman, Tails becomes Cyborg, Silver becomes Green Lantern, Amy becomes Wonder Woman, and Knuckles becomes Superman.

DC Comics has shared a first look at DC x Sonic the Hedgehog #1, a new five-issue series featuring the Justice League's meeting with characters from Sonic's world...and yes, he'll be racing The Flash!

Sonic and Flash racing? Batman and Shadow riding together? Fans are in heaven as Sega reveals the first glimpse of what's coming in the upcoming DC x Sonic the Hedgehog collaboration from writer Ian Flynn and artist Adam Bryce Thomas.

In addition to the comic, future DC and Sonic the Hedgehog collaborations are planned, including a merch set featuring Shadow dressed as Batman – although this will be exclusive to Target in the US. Other planned merch includes Sonic as The Flash, Tails as Cyborg, Amy as Wonder Woman, and more.

Sega and DC Comics have revealed new plot information and artwork from an upcoming crossover comic series. The first issue of DC x Sonic the Hedgehog is released on March 19 and sees Sonic and his friends teaming up with the Justice League. The series will consist of five issues, with issue one featuring two variant covers.
