Trivia

 * The raw artwork of variant cover B was the first piece of artwork for the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series that was revealed to the public. Interestingly, the cover was incorrectly labeled as cover A upon its initial reveal. It is unknown if this error will be fixed upon its release.
 * This issue has a total of eight existing variant covers, the highest amount of variant covers produced for any Sonic-related comic. This ties this issue with Sonic Universe #75, which also had a total of eight variant covers.
 * Tyson Hesse will create a connecting cover through each cover A starting from this issue up until Sonic the Hedgehog #4.
 * The concept artwork for Rafa Knight’s variant cover was handled by artist Aaron Hammerstrom.
 * Tracy Yardley had finished the pencils for the issue by 13 January 2018 and described the action sequences that Ian had written to be "challenging".
 * This issue was available for purchase from 23 March 2018 to 26 March 2018 for those who attended WonderCon 2018; almost 2 weeks before the intended official release on 4 April 2018.
