Sonic the Hedgehog: Scrapnik Island

In 2023, IDW launched the four-issue miniseries Sonic the Hedgehog: Scrapnik Island, a standalone adventure written by Daniel Barnes and drawn by Jack Lawrence. The story strands Sonic and Tails on a mysterious island populated by discarded, repurposed Badniks—the "Scrapniks"—who have formed their own unexpected community. This offbeat tale expands the Sonic mythos by exploring themes of redemption and found family through the eyes of forgotten mechanical foes. A charming, self-contained detour for fans of the Blue Blur.
