Trivia
- On cover D, Sonic and Tails can be seen shouting "50 issues? Good! Great! Awesome! Outstanding! Amazing!" in different colored fonts. This is a reference to the Trick Action system in Sonic Colors and Sonic Colors: Ultimate, where the same words are said depending on the player's performance.
- Surge's pose on cover D is in reference to DIO's laughing pose from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure video game.
- Not counting any Animals, Chao, or Wisps, the only video game character that has made an appearance in the comic series but does not appear on the cover is Gardon.
- Conversely, Marine also appears on the cover despite not making her full debut in the series yet.
- On cover D, Froggy is drawn with the tail that his counterpart gained and later lost in Sonic Adventure.
