Sonic the Hedgehog #153

Sonic finds himself in a tight spot on the cover of this 2005 Archie Adventure Series issue — the world's fastest hedgehog is sprinting at full tilt, his expression urgent and teeth bared, as crisscrossing laser beams close in on him from every direction. The bold tagline "Nowhere to Run!" says it all, and cover artist Sanford Greene captures a real sense of speed and tension against the stark dark background. With part one of "Songoose" kicking things off, this is a great entry point into what promises to be a gripping two-part story.
