On April 25, WEBTOON and IDW Publishing launched newly reformatted webtoon versions of Sonic the Hedgehog and the Eisner Award-winning Locke & Key comics exclusively on WEBTOON.
These series join IDW’s previously announced WEBTOON adaptations, which include Godzilla: Unnatural Disasters, the Eisner-nominated horror series Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, and George Takei’s memoir They Called Us Enemy.
The companies provided an official description for the Sonic the Hedgehog adaptation:
The evil genius Dr. Eggman has been foiled — but the work of Sonic the Hedgehog isn’t over yet! In the aftermath of the latest epic battle, rogue robots continue to attack small villages around the world. In order to defeat them, Sonic will need the help of his friends Tails, Knuckles, and Amy, along with some new and surprising allies. This new collection features the Blue Blur like you’ve never seen him before. Gotta go fast!
For Locke & Key, the description reads:
Locke & Key tells a sprawling tale of magic and family, legacy and grief, good and evil. Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (The Fireman, Heart-Shaped Box) has created a gripping story of dark fantasy and wonder, with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez, that like the doors of Keyhouse, will transform all who open it.
Fans interested in seeing Sonic’s comic adventures in a new format can now check out Sonic the Hedgehog and Locke & Key on WEBTOON.
