The Nintendo Wii U Exclusive SONIC: LOST WORLD Gets a Prequel Comic

Is there anyone else out there excited for the upcoming Nintendo Wii U exclusive Sonic the Hedgehog game SONIC: LOST WORLD? If so, there is an exclusive prequel comic coming to comic book shop store shelves nationwide soon. The prequel comic will be distributed by Archie Comics and will be made available in comic shops ONLY on October 26th and 27th 2013 during the annual Halloween ComicFest event. Think of it as a Free Comic Book Day but in October in celebration of the Halloween season!

So there you have it Sonic fans. I think it’s pretty cool that you can only get this one by going to your local comic shop. Be sure to grab it while supplies last.
