Sticks the Badger

Bursting onto the scene in 2014 courtesy of writers Ian Flynn and Evan Stanley, Sticks the Badger is a wild-card presence in Archie's Sonic Boom comics — a Modern Age newcomer who immediately carved out her own eccentric corner of the Sonic universe. She shares the page with heavy-hitters like Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy Rose, Knuckles the Echidna, and Tails, making her debut run feel like an instant invitation into one of comics' most beloved adventure ensembles. Though her catalog footprint across Sonic Boom and Sonic Universe is compact, there's a scrappy charm to a character who arrived so recently yet holds her own alongside icons — exactly the kind of fresh addition that makes completionists and Sonic devotees alike want to track down every issue she graces.
