Description

“

The Blue Blur’s battle with Dr. Eggman is upended by the arrival of two enormous monsters emerging from a humongous fissure in reality. The magnificent Mothra and the menacing Mechagodzilla carry their vicious battle into Sonic’s world, and its fate now hangs in the balance! Is Sonic, with the help of his loyal friends Amy and Tails, fast enough to halt the city’s frantic destruction? And why is Eggman so happy about this whole big mess?

Wait, is that Eggman now? How can he take over a solici—

From the files of me, Dr. Eggman! That petulant blue pipsqueak is making my existence absolute torture again—interrupting my crucial research on the beasts from the dimensional fissure! I simply MUST unlock the secrets of these giant monsters and use them to create something…eggtastic.^[1]

Trivia

Many of Mauro Fonseca's early cover proposals recreate various Godzilla posters and Sonic the Hedgehog artwork. Two of them also include Burning Godzilla and Super Godzilla facing off against Super Sonic, though the artist noted that these proposed designs were not in any way reflective of the events within the comic itself and not necessarily expected to be used.^[3]
The retailer incentive cover by Natalie Haines appears to reference the cover of Sonic X #39, with Mechagodzilla in place of the giant-sized Vector.

and thumbnails for it. please please PLEASE do not read anything into them. the characters that're in these don't mean they'll be in the story. we weren't told to make the cover very directly connected to the story inside, especially since it's a variant in my case, so I was just focused on thinking about it as a cool poster. Having Super Sonic or Super Godzilla on these thumbnails does not mean anything for the comic, I just proposed it because I thought it'd make a cool poster if it went through, that is all". Tumblr.
