Sonic Super Special #7

This 48-page giant from Archie's 1998 Sonic Super Special line is a genuine crossover treat, bringing Sonic the Hedgehog's world together with a roster of Image Comics characters on one jam-packed cover. The cover — penciled by Jim Valentino and Patrick Spaziante and inked by Ken Penders — packs in Sonic, Knuckles, Sally, Bunnie, and a mysterious dark armored figure alongside a striking lineup of Image heroes and villains including a snarling white-suited villain front and center, a green-skinned bruiser, a helmeted silver warrior, and several others crowding an ominous glowing green portal. "Parallel Paradigm" promises exactly the kind of dimension-hopping chaos that cover suggests, written and inked by Ken Penders with interior art by Jim Valentino.
