Sonic The Hedgehog’s New Comic Book Calendar Includes Over 300 Illustrations

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 races into theaters on December 20, and if you’re banking on it being a blockbuster that’ll carry you through next year with its energy, then you can do so in style with an official 2025 Sonic calendar. Out on October 29 and priced at $16, this is an officially licensed calendar that can barely contain all 12 glossy images of the Sonic crew inside of it. Probably. But before you buy your Sonic calendar, make sure to also take a look at the day calendar featuring hundreds of illustrations from the official comic book series, as well as the Sonic wall calendar with character designs from the games.

$16 | Ocotber 29

We’re not exactly certain what the images inside will be, but the best guess is that it’ll include some snapshots from the film showing off the cast in action. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 reunites the titular speedster with his pals Tails and Knuckles, and also introduces the ultimate lifeform Shadow the Hedgehog, who’s voiced by Keanu Reeves.

Sonic finds himself outmatched by Shadow in the threequel, so he reluctantly joins forces with Dr. Robotnik, once again played by Jim Carrey in what could be his final big screen role. Carrey is also pulling double-duty on the film, as he’ll be playing Robotnik’s father Gerald in the movie.

$17 | Releases September 24

If you simply love Sonic and don’t need your calendar to be themed around the upcoming film, there’s another option that is a bit more substantial: Sonic the Hedgehog Comic Collection 2025 Day-to-Day Calendar. This is a desktop calendar with tear-off pages for each day. It features 313 illustrations from the comics and is officially licensed by Sega. You can preorder it now for $18 at Amazon ahead of its September 24 release.

It’s worth noting that the ongoing Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series from IDW is a lot of fun and features some fantastic artwork. If you’re a Sonic fan who hasn’t given it a try, we’d recommend picking up the first trade paperback volume for $10 at Amazon. There’s also an upcoming slipcase box set featuring the first three volumes. You can preorder the collection for $36 at Amazon ahead of its October 15 release.

If you prefer hardcovers, IDW has multiple compendiums containing three volumes each. The first hardcover compendium, which has the same stories as the upcoming box set, is available for $33.49 (was $60) at Amazon.

Sonic the Hedgehog 1 + 2 Blu-rays

If you want to rewatch the first two films before Sonic the Hedgehog 3 premieres, there are numerous physical editions to choose from, including multiple that come with collectible steelbook cases. Unfortunately, the two-film steelbook collection on 4K Blu-ray recently sold out. You can get collectible editions of the films on their own as well as a standard Blu-ray combo pack.

Sonic X Shadow Generations

Shadow the Hedgehog is gearing up for a pretty big year. Not only will he be voiced by Keanu Reeves in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, but he stars in the upcoming Sonic X Shadow Generations, which releases on consoles and PC on October 25. The latest game in the series includes a remastered edition of Sonic Generations and a new story campaign starring Shadow. Physical edition preorders of Sonic X Shadow Generations come with a collectible book fashioned as Gerald Robotnik’s journal entries detailing the science experiment that led to the creation of Shadow. Check out our Sonic X Shadow Generations preorder guide for more details.

If that’s not enough Shadow the Hedgehog for you, Lego is releasing a Shadow bust display set on October 1. Preorders for the 720-piece Shadow the Hedgehog Lego set are available now at Target.
