Following a lawsuit in 2013 by former writer Ken Penders, Archie rebooted the series, removing several characters from the comics' continuity and moving it closer to that of the games. While the series largely consists of its own continuity, certain issues implemented aspects of the Sonic video games into their plots and settings. The series features a cast of hundreds of characters, consisting of both those derived from the Sonic games and those original to the comics, with stories focused on a crime-fighting organization called the Freedom Fighters, led by Sonic, as they face off against series antagonist Doctor Eggman alongside a variety of other villains. The series ran for 290 issues for over 20 years, earning a place in the 2008 Guinness World Records for being the 'longest-running comic series based on a video game', and it became the longest-running franchise-based comic series in 2015 - surpassing Marvel Comics' 275 issues of Conan the Barbarian - before it was confirmed cancelled in July 2017, following Sega and Archie Comics' decision to discontinue their business relationship.

After initially beginning with a four-issue miniseries from February to May 1993 (with issues appearing on newsstands three months earlier), the first full-length issue of the comic was published in July 1993. The series was based on Sega's video game franchise, as well as on the 1993 animated series of the same name. Sonic the Hedgehog was an American comic book series published by Archie Comics, in partnership with Sega.
