Background Information

 * Sonic Saga Series was first announced in an interview with IGN and Sonic the Hedgehog editor, Paul Kaminski, which was revealed in an article on their website. In that interview, Paul Kaminski stated the following about the series: "To put it into context with our other graphic novel lines, the Sonic Saga series is a modern version of the Sonic Archives collection, akin to the Sonic Universe graphic novel series in which we chronologically collect the current story arcs."
 * Interestingly, even though the covers to the books include the words "Sonic Saga Series" followed by the volume number, the word "Series" and the following volume number are not included in the book title of the original image of the first volume. This had been changed by the time the first volume was released.
 * Volumes 5 and 7 are the only volumes so far to have titles that do not match any stories that appear in the volumes themselves.
 * Volume 1
 * The cover art for this volume is from #164.
 * The data files that appear in this issue are taken directly from Sonic FCBD 2011, the only difference being that, in the case of Sonic and Naugus' entries, they have been made up to date with the current issues released at the time. These versions of the profiles would also be used in The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia, released a month later.
 * Despite their side stories being used in this volume, the "Mobius: 25 Years Later" story is not included here.
 * Volume 2
 * The cover art for this volume is from #169. For some reason the artwork has been mirrored.
 * Volume 3
 * The cover art for this volume is from #175.
 * The cover artwork to #174 uses the version depicting Antione and Bunnie kissing at the alter in the center, removing the giant heart-shaped question mark that covered them on the original version.
 * Volume 4
 * The cover art for this volume is from #178. For some reason, the background colour has been changed from blue to red.
 * Volume 5
 * The cover art for this volume is from #182.
 * The book was originally titled "Enerjak: Reborn" after the story arc that it featured. It was later renamed to "Evil Reborn" most likely due to the legal issues that resulted from the Archie v. Ken Penders settlement.
 * The books original release date was listed as February 11, 2014. It was later delayed to May. The reason for this is yet to be known.
 * Volume 6
 * The cover art for this volume is from #186.
 * Volume 7
 * This volumes title, "The Dark Mirror", was made specifically for this volume, and it does not match any story titles that appear within. While unconfirmed, this is most likely due to Sega's mandate that the name "Mobius" (or in this case, any variation of the name) no longer be used in the series, rendering the title that would've best summed up the books contents, "Bold New Moebius", unusable.
