A new era of Sonic comics begins in April, when IDW releases the first four issues of its Sonic the Hedgehog series. The skunk brothers above are Rough and Tumble, a pair of new villains who’ll be causing a stink for Sonic and Knuckles in issue three. Rough is on the left and Tumble is on the right.
Rough and Tumble are the first of a whole host of new characters planned for the new series. Associate editor David Mariotte, speaking about the new characters, said, “They’re independent agents, and more bullies than masterminds, but they’re tough enough to maybe become someone’s henchmen down the line.”
