Upcoming Sonic comic introducing two new villains
SEGA is continuing its promotional efforts for the new Sonic comic, which debuts in April. IDW has come up with two new villains: Rough and Tumble. Both will be appearing in issue three.
According to associate editor David Marriotte, “They’re independent agents, and more bullies than masterminds, but they’re tough enough to maybe become someone’s henchmen down the line.”
Kotaku reports that IDW originally had much different designs planned for the two characters. Their eyes are now more defined, they have less clothing, and “Tumble looks a lot less rabid.”
Fans can expect more new characters in the Sonic comics going forward. Marriotte says writer Ian Flynn is “pretty much able to come up with folks on the fly and any major characters we run by SEGA for approval.”
