Sonic the Hedgehog Archives Volume 13 is the thirteenth volume of the Sonic the Hedgehog Archives trade-paperback comic series. This volume, rather than reprinting stories from four issues in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series, has a compilation of stories from the EndGame saga taken from the Sonic the Hedgehog series and the Sonic Super Specials series.

Official solicitation

The Sonic Archives series collects digitally-restored classic Sonic stories in high-quality graphic novels! Sonic Archives Volume 13 includes the rare final chapters of the critical ENDGAME SAGA and related side-stories originally featured in the SONIC SUPER SPECIAL series. The story begins with Princess Sally presumed dead and Sonic framed for the murder! The plot darkens at a break-neck pace, leading to the final confrontation between Sonic and the original Dr. Robotnik!

Other features

• Who's Who/What's What: This section features data files compiling the following characters and subjects in the Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog series:
  • Downunda Freedom Fighters
  • The Quacks
  • Rebel Underground
  • Crocbot
  • Ultimate Annihilator

Trivia

• This is the second Sonic the Hedgehog Archives volume to reprint a landmark issue.
• The front cover is based on the final battle panel between Sonic and Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog #50/Sonic Super Special #6.
• The version of the story in Sonic the Hedgehog #50 printed in the book is actually the extended directors cut edition originally from Sonic Super Special #6. This version not only adds some extra story content, but also has some existing panels redrawn, particularly in the final battle sequence.
  • "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is titled in the table of contents as "The Big Good-Bye: Directors Cut". "The Big Good-Bye" was the story's original title in Sonic the Hedgehog #50.
• This is the first volume in the Sonic Archives series to contain material outside of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series, namely from the Sonic Super Specials series.
