Sonic the Hedgehog #107

Sonic looks almost small for once — crouched coolly in the foreground while a squad of five heavily armed, gear-laden soldiers loom large behind him in this striking cover from Patrick Spaziante and Nelson Ribeiro. The contrast between the blue hedgehog's relaxed posture and the no-nonsense military crew surrounding him sets a genuinely intriguing tone for "Crouching Hedgehog, Hidden Dragon Part Two." Archie's 2002 run was firing on all cylinders, and this issue's cover alone makes a strong case for why.
