Sonic the Hedgehog: Tails 30th Anniversary Special Coming in November

It's hard to believe that Tails, the best friend of Sonic the Hedgehog, has been a favorite of video gamers and furries for three decades, but it's true! And to celebrate, IDW, will release a Tails 30th Anniversary Special one-shot this November, written by Ian Flynn, with art by Aaron Hammerstrom and colors by Reggie Graham. A press release from the publisher tells us:

As a follow-up to IDW's popular Sonic 30th Anniversary Special, Sonic The Hedgehog: Tails 30th Anniversary Special will release in November 2022, featuring a new 30-page (for 30 years!) story by series regular Ian Flynn, with art by Aaron Hammerstrom and colors by Reggie Graham inspired by the classic games.

Sonic The Hedgehog: Tails 30th Anniversary Special will be available in stores in November 2022 with three cover variants, including Cover A by series artist Aaron Hammerstrom, Cover B by Thomas Rothlisberger, and a retailer incentive edition by series regular Tracy Yardley.

Flynn had the following to say about it in the press release:

I had a blast with last year's Sonic 30th Anniversary story, which was a celebration of the Classic Sonic cast. This time around I wanted to do something a little more restrained and focused so we could properly celebrate Tails, his courage, and his intellect. That said, you know I couldn't pass up an opportunity to mine the Sonic series history for the villains!

And Hammerstrom said of the Tails 30th Anniversary Special:

Tails was my favorite character growing up and he's still incredibly important to me, so I'm glad to be able to help put him back in the spotlight for a bit. It's so exciting to bring back these weird, obscure characters along with him, too! I think they're gonna be a lot of fun!

The press release also contains a quote by editor David Mariotte, but Bleeding Cool has a strict "no editors" policy, which is why they refuse to hire one to proofread the articles and instead just ask the writers to complete a 13-point SEO checklist for every article (which is one of the reasons we have to awkwardly repeat the title of the comic, "Tails 30th Anniversary Special," over and over throughout the article, in case you were wondering). So sorry, editors. Bleeding Cool simply isn't interested in what you have to say.

The Tails 30th Anniversary Special will hit stores in November.
