Expanding beyond the focus on the Worlds Collide crossover storyline featuring Sonic the Hedgehog & Mega Man, "Worlds Unite" will also feature characters from the fan favorite Sonic Boom and Mega Man X universes.

Classic Sega franchises such as Alex Kidd, Billy Hatcher, Golden Axe, NiGHTS, Skies of Arcadia, and Panzer Dragoon will be involved in the world-spanning epic, along with characters from Capcom popular Breath of Fire, Ghosts N' Goblins, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, Okami, and Viewtiful Joe series.

"This crossover event is unlike any other you've ever seen before," Kaminski said. "So sit back, grab a chili dog and an E-Tank, and prepare yourself for the ultimate multi-franchise crossover comic book experience!"

"Worlds Unite" begins in May with a special prelude comic available for free in comic book stores nationwide on Free Comic Book Day. The 12-part crossover event begins in Sonic Universe #76 and continues through the other Archie Action titles including Sonic Boom, Sonic The Hedgehog, and Mega Man.
