Trivia

 * Similar to Sonic Select, the Sonic Legacy volumes are referred to as books instead.
 * This series is targeted for older audiences by containing more issues in black and white "in order to be competitive in a Marvel/DC graphic novel market," according to editor Paul Kaminski.
 * The cover for the first book was penciled by Ben Bates; however, the artist forgot to sign his work before submitting it. He also does the cover for the second book and probably future volumes.[1]
 * The atwork style of the cover seems to be based off of the American boxart of Sonic 1.
 * The cover of the second book can be seen on the final page of the first book. It also states that the second book will be released "Fall 2012".
 * The release of this book probably also coincides with the upcoming video game Sonic Generations.
