Sonic the Hedgehog: Scrapnik Island

Stranded on a forgotten island populated by discarded Badniks, Sonic and Tails find themselves in a tense, uneasy alliance with the very machines designed to destroy them. This four-issue IDW miniseries from 2022–2023, written by Daniel Barnes with art by Jack Lawrence, explores a corner of Sonic's world rarely seen—one where abandoned robots must learn to survive, repair themselves, and perhaps even forge a new identity. It's a thoughtful, character-driven detour that adds unexpected depth to the Sonic mythos.
