Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails, Knuckles, and the rest of the Sonic Team gang are about to collide with the DC Universe in the upcoming crossover series DC x Sonic the Hedgehog, and it will be a race to discover who really is the ultimate speedster.

DC x Sonic the Hedgehog is part of a larger collaboration between Warner Bros. and Sega. The companies are teaming for a series of toys and collectibles sold exclusively at Target, starting off with a line of T-shirts and hoodies featuring Shadow the Hedgehog dressed as Batman.

DC Comics has shared a first look at DC x Sonic the Hedgehog #1, a new five-issue series featuring the Justice League's meeting with characters from Sonic's world...and yes, he'll be racing The Flash!

Perhaps it's that chaos that will lead to the mash-up between the heroes becoming literal, as Sonic is mashed-up with Flash, Shadow becomes Batman, Tails becomes Cyborg, Silver becomes Green Lantern, Amy becomes Wonder Woman, and Knuckles becomes Superman.

DC Comics and Sega have released a first look at their Justice League and Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series, including Sonic dressed as The Flash and Shadow as Batman. The crossover was first announced at the Sonic Central event last September,
