Sonic the Hedgehog #137

Sonic the Hedgehog #137 from Archie's Adventure Series brings the Freedom Fighters together in a moment of tense unity, with Sonic, Tails, Sally, Rotor, Antoine, Bunnie, and a green turtle-like figure huddled closely as an ominous mechanical giant looms in the shadowy background above them. The cover by Patrick Spaziante captures a rare emotional weight for the series — this isn't a solo sprint, but a team holding together under something clearly bigger than any one of them. Romy Chacon and Steven Butler close out "The Tommy Trilogy" in this 2004 installment, making it a satisfying chapter for fans who've followed the arc.
