So you’re never gonna guess what project finally has a title. Anyway, introducing Sonic Boom: New Horizons! Details under the cut

New Horizons is an au that takes place in a modified Sonic Boom timeline, in which aspects of the mainline games replace some of the events of the Boom show/games. It also bleeds into the IDW comics with aspects of Archie here and there as well, especially in regards to Slipper’s half of the story. Sonic and Slipper (this timeline’s Silver) are the story’s protagonists, with occasional side stories about Shadow, Tails, and their other friends. Knuckles is also aligned with his in-game counterpart.

The first arc of the story is as follows:

Sonic, Tails, and Amy, after returning to Seaside Island after their latest adventure, manage to cough up enough money to afford to go on vacation from their troubled island, leaving Sticks to man the fort (a position she is more than happy to take). Unfortunately, things turn south pretty quickly as Eggman follows close behind, disrupting the Festival of the Sun and setting the events of Sonic 06 into action.

All the while, a strange hedgehog who claims to be helping a friend save another dimension hunts him for sport, insisting that he is the “Iblis Trigger” and must be destroyed. This titular time and space traveller is Slipper the Hedgehog, his desperation for a fresh start in the Sol Dimension allowing him to be used as a pawn in a mysterious entity known as Mephiles’ game. The same Mephiles that Shadow also happens to be after. It’s quite the chaotic mess of a vacation.

The story leans heavily on the concept of silly teenagers being forced to fill the role of saviours of the world, with their adventures becoming larger and larger in scale as time wears on. It has some heavy undercurrent themes about trauma and how it affects the cast, as growing up is hard enough without saving the world.

If you think this sounds cool, stick around! I’m not sure how I plan on tackling a central story, or if I do at all, but this story will get told one way or another, may it be directly or otherwise. And if you think Slipper is cool, check out the #slipper the hedgehog tag, as there exists a LOT of art of him! If you have questions, feel free to send them my way, since I love yapping about it. This au *is* still under construction though, so things may change along the way.

Thanks for reading <3

CONTENT WARNING: NEEDLES/SYRINGE IMAGERY UNDER THE CUT

I can't believe I'm making Sonic Boom comics in the year of 2025 but I wanted to play with panel layout. And I'm Sonic trash.

Small context note: I have a Boom rewrite au that I've been tinkering with for....maybe four years or more. And in that the Ancients in the history books were "great advanced rulers who upheld the balance of nature and technology" but in actuality they did that by taking the tech and resources of other mobian species and subjugating them to work as servants (or kill them), because the easiest way to keep the world the way you want it is to control it. :) And what better way to balance tech and nature than to use your tech to create bio weapons? :)

Also....canonically Lyric had to build his own life support suit because the "most technologically advanced civilization", THAT HE WAS PART OF, didn't try to make one for him after he got sick. ALSO they knew he would get sick from his research and didn't tell him??? I have lots of feelings about the Boom Lore adsfklnfslkdnfls

Dadow Boom AU snippets and ideas while I try to make sense of it! Hooray! :D

Shadow having a soft spot towards kids, especially his own, means Tails is off limits when/if fighting. He dodges all attacks made by the young fox and tries to disarm him without dealing damage. He’ll even step in if Eggman’s attacking and he’s around to help protect Tails.

Silver is around 8 biologically, but 1,000+ chronologically. He’s a little shorter than Tails.

Warning to all villains: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT try to kidnap Silver and hold him hostage against Shadow! He’ll have you begging for the sweet release of death! Kidnapping Silver is a one-way ticket to hell!

Silver gets along with Tails well. Silver doesn’t always understand him, but he tries his best, and Tails appreciates his efforts to understand and honesty when he doesn’t.

Shadow does his best to keep their past under lock and key, but sometimes, Silver will say something that sounds like they were struggling a lot before finding Bygone Island.

Silver’s still practicing his telekinesis, but he’s very good at it! According to Shadow, the edgy looking hedgehog himself was accidentally and quite literally tossed across the room by Silver once. Knuckles and Sonic aren’t allowed to help Shadow teach Silver because they tried making him do all these things that were dangerous.

Shadow is a tired single parent, Sonic and Amy are both working together and fighting each other to make him not a single parent. Shadow doesn’t understand what they see in him. Silver disapproves of them flirting with his dad.

The reason they fought in the first place was because Team Sonic took some strange crystals that Shadow needed, so he went to get them back and it escalated into a fight when they refused.

Eggman once picked Silver up because he thought he was a lost child because Silver was practicing his teleportation skills and showed up at his door. It took Shadow so much not to rip Eggman’s head off when he discovered that Silver was in Eggman’s lair.

Shadow being unbelievably pissed and out for blood if someone dares to lay a hand on his son, partially due to past experiences.

Shadow growing Black Arms features (tail, third eye, wings, bigger claws) when he either needs it or when he just wants to. Silver is completely used to this “monster form” as Sticks put it and will ask to be carried during flights.

Because Silver was created with significantly more hedgehog DNA, the only Black Arms feature he actually has is a longer tail, which is still white. They’re not quite sure where the extra fluff came from, but maybe he’ll grow out of it? (Spoiler alert: He didn’t.)

Here are a few bits I’ve thought of, but might not fit in this AU.

Possible Sticks and Shadow meeting before the rest of the group?? Sticks being an honorary aunt for Silver?? Sticks and Shadow solidarity. Sticks making “old man” jokes towards Shadow. Sticks not asking Shadow much about the whole “half alien” thing or much of his past, just enough to understand the bare minimum and then stop despite her curiosity.

“Hey, Sticks, is your friend single by any chance?” — Sonic

Silver climbing on Shadow, pouncing on him, pulling him, shaking him, whatever it takes to get him up so they can play while the rest of the group watches in horror. Shadow either suddenly waking up from a fake sleep at just the right time and grabbing him, or does the whole “Alright, I’m up, I’m up” thing. Just the group being surprised how patient he is with Silver, I guess.

I don’t usually headcanon Shadow showing signs of age or having old scars because the scars are supposed to heal completely and he doesn’t age, but I think this shall be an exception and give Shadow maybe one or two old scars. Maybe. I haven’t decided yet.
