A classic gets a new lick of paint

Sonic Generations is out in Europe today, and what better way to celebrate than a comic strip explaining the game's story?

Using still shots from the game's rendered intro — only available in the HD version, sadly — the strip sets up exactly why two eras of Sonic find themselves racing through the same stages. It also contains some very finely detailed digital cookies, if that does anything for you.

Expect our Sonic Generations review to come racing past very soon.
