It's spooky season again, and that means everybody, even comic companies, want in on some of that "buy things and hand them out to children" action. Mostly these are Chick tracts, but occasionally other publishers would strategize their way into those trick or treat bags, along with tiny candy bars and Bazooka Joe bubble gum, hopefully to bring joy and the occasional cavitiy to children.


Archie was one of these publishers, producing giveaway comics starring their most popular characters! And by that I mean Sonic The Hedgehog and Sabrina The Teenage Witch. Sure, Archie is there too. But did he have a popular TV show or a popular video game franchise at this time? He had neither, sorry "Riverdale Rescue" fans.


A girl? In a comic book store? What is SHE doing there? It's this kind of attitude that's made the local comic shop an exemplar of misogynistic gatekeeping for more than forty years, ensuring a proud, if financially ruinous tradition!


You can't neg THIS girl out of the comic shop, buddy! She found out they make comic books starring cute video game characters!


Sabrina can use her magical powers to go inside a comic book full of great writing and and art. But first, she has to find a comic book full of great writing and art. Good luck with that.


Fictional characters using magic spells to transport themselves to worlds that are fictional within their own fictional world, as described by a photo of an actual real-world cat? This is the movie Inception, right? I think this is Inception.


I'd make a joke about this kid seeing Christian Bale sarcastically hollering at cinematographer Shane Hurlbut about walking into his eyeline, but that was the other Terminator sequel nobody liked. No, the OTHER other Terminator sequel nobody liked.


And they're in the world of the Sonic The Hedgehog comic, a fantastical world of amazing wonders where apparently the hide of a foot-tall animal is considered prime floor covering material. From what I know about Sonic, the slightest nudge will cause rings to erupt out of every character. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of flying rings here!


The inhabitants of Sonic Land have mastered the deadliest form of combat known to the multiverse - "yo mama" jokes.


Sonic Super Special #7 is where Sonic and Knuckles meet Spawn and Savage Dragon. So yeah, a nuthouse.


Go to a Halloween party with a teenage girl, or stay home and play video games with your cousin? You're only young once, Stevie. So, video games it is!


Popular Halloween costumes in 1998 were "Pilgrim With Giant Hat" and "That Time Archie Was A Super Hero In The 1960s Because Batman Was On TV."


What's with the Brady Bunch, Sabrina? In that these three people in no way resemble anything close to the Brady Bunch?


Halfway through the story we finally get to Archie and the gang, playing all their hits to a crowd of forgotten Archie characters and creative-staff caricatures, while Josie and the Pussycats throw shade at the Spice Girls. Relax Pussycats, you'll get a feature film too.


Like his fans, Sonic prefers HIS fried chicken in "tendies" form, hopefully molded into the shape of favorite dinosaurs.


Go ahead, let Reggie find out these two characters are from a video game dimension. What is he going to do with that information, prank Archie with it?


You can still find Shadowhawk comics when you go "bobbing" in the fifty-cent bins! Tooth marks and drool stains only add to its entertainment value.


I was looking forward to seeing more photos of that cat, but I understand how difficult it is to get them to sit still for pictures next to phones.


Look Salem, it could have been a lot worse, she could have been thinking about S. Clay Wilson's Checkered Demon, or anything Tim Vigil was publishing at the time.


Dr. Robotnik is here in the Archie world? He'll undoubtedly ruin this party, the one party ever held in the Archie universe that Archie himself didn't accidentally ruin!


I know Sonic is a cartoon version of a video game character, but his mouth and throat here are going one direction while his eyes and nose are off at a thirty-seven degree angle, and I still haven't figured out how those gigantic boots stay on his skinny ankles, and maybe I shouldn't even ask why Robotnik has four fingers while Sonic has five. Maybe it's best to just think about dodging those spikes so Sonic doesn't get hit and lose all his rings again and I don't stay up for hours playing Sonic instead of studying for that exam, because that was my 1990s Sonic experience. I never got good at the game, but I did get good at finding out exactly when I could drop a class and not have it affect my grade point average.


They say Jughead is a slacker, but this is some really impressive cosplay.


What's up these creator's sleeves in the future? Well, among other things, some lawsuits. Spooky enough for you? Happy Halloween!
