Sonic X is an ongoing comic book series published by Archie Comics, based on the animated series of the same name. Like Archie's other title, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic X features SEGA's mascot video game character Sonic. It began in September 2005 and was originally meant to be a four-part series. However, due to the positive reaction to the series's announcement, it was extended to ongoing status before the first issue premiered. The comic is based on the American dub of Sonic X. Up to issue 15 of the series, it was usually written by

Sonic X is the newest animated Sonic the Hedgehog installation. It first aired in Japan in Spring 2003, and was expected to have fantastic reviews. Crushing the hearts of many Japanese Anime directors, the ratings were lower than expected. The addition of Christopher Thorndyke and many other unneccesary characters, as well as a rather dull storyline defines the reasons as to its low score. However, the fans [D]id still love the show. When the series was dubbed and finally aired in the United States late 2003, the series turned out even worse than fans anticipated.

Sonic X premiered on FOX on August 23, 2003. Accidentally transported by Chaos Control, Sonic finds himself on a strange planet inhabited by humans and teams up with his newest friend, Christopher. Together, Sonic and Christopher embark on a series of exhilarating and elaborate quests as they search for the "Chaos Emeralds," precious stones delivering the power to conquer the world to whoever possesses them. Through their adventures, Sonic and Christopher must battle Sonic's archrival, the evil Dr. Eggman, a robotics authority, who wants the "Chaos Emeralds" for himself so that he can establish his own empire to dominate the world. Known for speed, power and energy, Sonic helps Christopher overcome his boyhood fears as they meet up with long-time friends Knuckles, Tails and Amy, and encounter new pals Cream and Cheese. In a distant galaxy, the confrontation between Sonic and Dr. Eggman begins once again!

Sonic X-treme never started on the Saturn, not by a long shot. It actually started on the Genesis and eventually the 32x. The year was 1994, the 32-X and Saturn were soon to hit the shelves. STI believed that in order to preserve the life of the Genesis, the 32-X needed a solid Sonic title in order to make the adapter a must have. Planning went underway, and a game script was created. Due to technical limitations of the 32-X, the project was pushed to the Saturn and eventually renamed to Sonic X-Treme, and was given a complete revamp before eventually being canned.

The Sonic X-treme debacle has long been touted as a reason for the ultimate failure of the Saturn in the west. With Sony and Nintendo both having flagship 3D platformers (Crash Bandicoot and Super Mario 64) available, Sega was widely expected to follow suit and thrust Sonic into the 3D arena. When news broke that Sonic X-Treme had been pulled from the schedules and replaced with a conversion of a year-old 16-bit game, it only served to confirm the by-then prevailing view that the Saturn no longer represented serious competition for it's rivals. The Saturn never did receive a Sonic platform game of it's own, Sonic 3D Blast being followed by Sonic Jam, a compilation of the 2D MegaDrive Sonic titles and Sonic R, a racing game. Sonic's debut in a full 3D platform game was delayed until the release of Sonic Adventure shortly after the launch of the Dreamcast.

For countries outside the United States, Sonic X is generally divided into seperate series. Why? Well, Anime is like a movie. You normally don't judge a movie until it's over. Since Anime usually progresses like a movie, then you can refer to season 1 and 2 as "Series 1" and Season 3 as "Series 2" because they revolve around two completely different plotlines.
