User blog comment:The Pop Cult Gamer/Last question? Is the Archie Comics canon to the SEGA Sonic games?/@comment-1392727-20130807113952

No, they aren't canon meaning - they aren't related universe(story)-wise.

But that doesn't make the comics any less 'official'.

Most kids use 'comics aren't canon' as if there is only one canon in the franchise. They think 'canon' somehow denies the credibility and 'officialness' of the series when it does not.

Archie comics are canon, just not related to the games or cartoons.
