Gee willikers that's a lot of covers for one issue.

Picture shows a file directory on a computer with 35 different images in it all representing different covers for the first issue of Sonic The Hedgehog by IDW Publishing.

30 issues remain to be catalogued for the IDW run of Sonic for @thevideogamelibrary.org . Not sure if this is a common gimmick for comics to do covers that line up across different issues, but I thought this was a cool touch. www.thevideogamelibrary.org/book/sonic-t...

Since I posted about IDW's Sonic #75, thought I'd post my favourite covers from #50 as well since I just finished cataloguing it. www.thevideogamelibrary.org/book/sonic-t...

Cover of Sonic The Hedgehog #50 (Tyson Hesse variant) is a giant grid of rectangles. Each of them showing Sonic in different poses like they're frames of an animation. It shows him landing from a flip, starting to run before sliding to a halt, then starting up a run again before jumping into a ball and then landing and bouncing again.

Cover of Sonic The Hedgehog #50 (Jonathan Gray variant) shows a border featuring dozens of different Sonic characters. The middle in the background shows what looks to be an old black and white Sonic comic. Also drawn in the middle in the foreground is Sonic and Tails posing. Along the bottom of the border is Dr Eggman and Dr Starline with evil looks looking towards the reader, between them is Surge and Kit with electricity and water around them.

One of the weirdest things about documenting so many Sonic comics is learning about so many different non-game characters that exist. There's like 75 characters on one of the alternate covers for issue 75. www.thevideogamelibrary.org/book/sonic-t...

Sometimes it feels good to see that you've still got it.

I'm such a sucker for old amusement park stuff. My local one just put out some of their old stuff and while I have no idea why a mammoth would stand on a rotating barrel, I kinda dig it.

Just finished listening to the episode. Great episode, you're great on the mic as always and Justin is a fantastic duo, but man you didn't tell me Ratchet, Uncharted, and Halo 1 were going to catch strays as well.
