We know that all of April will have Sonic the Hedgehog IDW comics, as they are releasing four whole issues for the month. After that its back to a monthly title with Sonic the Hedgehog #5 which is set to include the return of everyone’s favorite Sonic villain, Dr. Eggman (or Doctor Robotnik depending on your age).
“After four back-to-back weeks of Sonic goodness, fans are wondering: where is Dr. Eggman? Sonic’s greatest enemy is strangely quiet. He disappeared after his last defeat, but you can’t keep evil scientist down! So where is he? What has he been up to? Readers will get all those answers and more in Sonic the Hedgehog #5!” – Ian Flynn, writer for Sonic the Hedgehog comics
Check out the solicitations and full cover after the jump as IDW starts its ‘The Fate of Dr. Eggman‘ plot:

“Dr. Eggman (or Doctor Robotnik depending on your age)”
I’m over thirty, have grown up playing the Genesis games, and I call him Dr Eggman.
I’m over thirty, so I grew up with Dr. Robotnik’s name. But both of my sons recognized him as Eggman and refused to call him Dr. Robotnik, so I adapt myself and calling him Eggman since then.
