Sonic the Hedgehog #147

Part two of "The Good, the Bad, & the Unknown" arrives with a cover that puts Sonic face-to-face — or rather, fist-to-fist — with two formidable rivals: Shadow the Hedgehog and the menacing mechanical duplicate Metal Sonic, all three rendered in sharp, dynamic poses by cover artist Patrick Spaziante. The bold layout practically crackles with tension, framing Sonic at the top while Shadow and Metal Sonic loom below, each clearly ready for a confrontation. With a creative team including writer Ken Penders and artist Steven Butler on interiors, this 2005 Archie Adventure Series entry is a satisfying pick for any fan of Sonic's more rivalry-driven stories.
