Publication History of the Archie Sonicverse

The Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic books have been continually-published since 1993. Below is the list of all the comics, going by year and month of publication within the books (typically 1-2 months ahead of their actual release date, such as a March issue being released in January). They also contain the various story-arcs within the series. Sub-arcs are in dotted cells. Cells with arrows pointing down (⇓)show which issues lead into the next ones. Arrows to the side (? or ?) indicate a parallel issue contains a significant story tie-in in-between issues (such as going from Sonic Issue 55, then Knuckles Issue 9, then Sonic Issue 56 to get the full story).
