IDW Sonic Comics Will Not Reference Sonic Rangers

Ian Flynn has stated in a recent podcast that SEGA prefer IDW to not reference the new Sonic games, as SEGA doesn’t want the comics stealing the new game’s thunder and spoiling new story elements introduced in the new games. SEGA is hoping for players to buy the new games as opposed to reading the story details in the comics. Flynn has also stated SEGA prefers IDW to not reference older games for new comic readers to not have to go through a back catalogue to understand the story. Flynn has stated they are unable to reference any of the games due to this and pitch what they can.
