Where it came from
Sonic the Hedgehog #38, titled 'Blast from the Past', was published by Archie Comics in September 1996 as part of their long-running series based on the Sega video game franchise. This era of the comic was heavily influenced by the narrative tone of the SatAM animated series, focusing on a post-apocalyptic resistance movement against the villainous Dr. Robotnik. The story features a significant flashback sequence that explores the origins of the Freedom Fighters, providing readers with necessary context for the character dynamics and the tragic history of the planet Mobius.
The issue was written by Mike Kanterovich and Ken Penders, with pencils by Art Mawhinney. This creative team was instrumental in defining the expanded lore of the Archie Sonic universe, often introducing complex, albeit occasionally controversial, world-building elements that diverged significantly from the source games. Like many issues from this period, it received a dedicated following among readers interested in the series' serialized, dramatic storytelling, which stood in stark contrast to the lighthearted nature of the platforming games.
