Sonic the Hedgehog #102

Sonic looks like he's having the time of his life — even while covered in dirt and debris and charging straight out of a massive explosion on this 2001 Archie cover by Patrick Spaziante and Nelson Ribeiro. A menacing little Badnik with a wide, jagged grin and glowing yellow mechanical arms swarms the chaos alongside scattered sparks and shrapnel, all framed by the bold tagline "Gotta Go Boom!" Inside, Karl Bollers and Ron Lim tackle "Family Dysfunction," promising that the drama runs just as hot as the fireworks on the cover — a great pick from Sonic's 10th anniversary year.
