Sonic the Hedgehog #94 starts IDW's 'Road to #100' toward issue #100

• The campaign begins with Sonic the Hedgehog #94, which launches a new mini-arc centered on Surge and Kit.
• Sonic the Hedgehog #94 is set for March 2027 and is written by Daniel Barnes and Evan Stanley, with art by Alex Forrest.

What happened

IDW Publishing has announced a promotional build-up to Sonic the Hedgehog issue #100 under the name ‘Road to #100’. Based on the available information, Sonic the Hedgehog #94 is the first issue explicitly tied to that campaign. That makes #94 the starting point for the lead-up to a new milestone issue for the comic series.

Issue #94 kicks off a new storyline and focuses on Surge and Kit. The source describes it as a new mini-arc, meaning the issue is not just a standalone adventure but also a clear starting point within the ongoing comic schedule. The credits for the issue go to Daniel Barnes and Evan Stanley as writers, with Alex Forrest handling the art. That makes #94 a notable issue in the series, both because of its creative team and its place in the publication calendar.

Sonic the Hedgehog #94 is scheduled to release in March 2027. The same source also mentions Sonic the Hedgehog #91, with a release date of October 28, but the year is not given. As a result, only the day and month are confirmed, not the exact year for that release. The available information also confirms that the campaign is building toward issue #100, but does not give an exact release date for the milestone issue.

Background

Sonic the Hedgehog is IDW Publishing’s comic series based on Sega’s Sonic franchise. The series now has a clear path toward its next milestone issue, with issue #100 positioned as the endpoint of the campaign. The source explicitly calls that campaign ‘Road to #100’, indicating that IDW is presenting the coming issues as part of a larger build-up.

The provided information is otherwise limited to issue #94 as the campaign’s starting point and to the mention of issue #91 with a release on October 28. Which other issues or storylines fall under ‘Road to #100’ is not known from this source. It is also unclear whether issue #100 itself will arrive in 2027, although that year is mentioned as the year of the build-up.

What is confirmed is that issue #94 opens a new mini-arc featuring Surge and Kit. That combination of characters, along with the named creative team of Daniel Barnes, Evan Stanley, and Alex Forrest, gives the issue a defined place in the series. Because the source does not provide further plot details, the confirmed facts are limited to a new storyline, a specific creative team, and a planned release month in March 2027.

The mention of issue #91 on October 28 shows that the comic schedule is already moving ahead of #94. At the same time, the source does not include the year for that date, so it can only be treated as an upcoming release. No additional issues, titles, or plot points have been confirmed for the rest of the campaign in the provided information.
