True. Early issues of Sonic comics took huge amount of elements from the SatAM cartoon and mixing it little with game elements (badniks) and even adding some more from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon (Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts). Still, characters and mostly their backstories can be somewhat different and more detailed comparing to the cartoon, while the basics can be the same.

It's clear to keep them as separated continuities and thus for the most part, characters having separated articles from comics and the cartoon.
