This week, Archie Comics' Sonic Boom series introduces television show writer Bill Freiberger to the comic book fold. As one of the writers on the animated series, it's safe to say Freiberger is familiar with the characters. So what happens when you give a writer used to working with a tight budget the freedom to tell whatever kind of story he wants?
If you've been following Archie's adventure comics, then you might remember that a good chunk of 2013 was taken up with "Worlds Collide," a massive crossover between Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man. If you missed it, then trust me, it was a pretty big deal - so big, in fact, that it seems like Archie, Sonic and Capcom have decided to follow it up with an even bigger crossover: "Worlds Unite," a full-on mashup of Sega and Capcom characters, set to launch in May, finally bring us one step closer to my dream of Jughead showing up in a Street Fighter game.
What? We're actually getting Archie vs. Predator, do you really think that couldn't happen?

Sega's crossover fighter brings characters from Valkyria Chronicles, Virtua Fighter, Sword Art Online and other famous franchises together for one massive brawl.
