Sonic the Hedgehog is an ongoing American comic book series published by Archie Comics, based on Sega's video game franchise, and as well as DiC's 1993 Saturday morning cartoon adaptation of the same name. Following a four issue miniseries, published from 1992 to 1993, the ongoing series Sonic the Hedgehog began with a July 1993 cover date and has run 290 issues as of January 2017. In June 23, 2008, Guinness World Records formally recognized it as the longest running comic series based on a video game.
The series features a cast of hundreds of characters, both drawn from the games and original creations, and focuses on a crime-fighting organization called the Freedom Fighters (initially consisting of Sonic, Tails, Sally Acorn, Rotor Walrus, Antoine D'Coolette, and Bunnie Rabbot) facing off against villains such as Doctor Eggman (with his assistant Snively) and alternate-world versions of the protagonists. It has encompassed both original storylines and ones based on games such as Sonic Adventure and Sonic Unleashed. A 2013 lawsuit by former writer Ken Penders against Archie Comics led to the entire world of the book being rebooted and altered, with hundreds of characters cut.
