The first issueTranslation
Sonic Adventures was a French Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series that was published by Sirene and lasted 2 issues in late 1994.
It is noticeable for being the first Sonic media to depict Angel Island's ancient echidna civilization.note
Not to be confused with Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Adventure.
Sonic Adventures provides examples of:
- Adaptational Villainy: Just like his SatAM, Underground, and Archie counterparts, the version of Eggman presented here in this adaptation is completely pure evil through and through without any redeeming features to be seen unlike the games.
- Advanced Ancient Humans: According to Sonic, echidnas once had a very advanced civilization and were the first intelligent species.
- Character in the Logo: The logo of the comic has Sonic winking above the "i" in his name.
- Convection, Schmonvection: Sonic gets dropped into a volcano and is rescued by Tails only inches away from the lava, neither of them suffering any burns.
- Damsel in Distress: Amy gets captured by Robotnik and is used as bait to lure Sonic into a trap.
- Disney Death: Sonic, Amy, and Alucion fall into a volcano and are taken for dead, leading to an anguished Tails swearing revenge on Robotnik. Fortunately we later learn that there was a giant ring within the volcano that teleported them to a Special Stage.
- Gratuitous English: The comic is in French, but the title Sonic Adventures is in English. This makes sense because the French word for "adventure" is "aventure", which is similar to the English word.
