Sonic the Hedgehog #156

Sonic and the full Freedom Fighters assemble on this energetic cover by Sanford Greene, with Sonic front and center, fists raised, surrounded by Sally, Tails, Amy, Bunnie, Antoine, and Rotor all packed into a dynamic, radiating composition. The sheer number of familiar faces crammed into the golden sunburst background gives the cover a genuine sense of team-wide urgency, hinting that "Line of Succession Part 2" has big stakes for the whole crew. A lively 2006 entry in Archie's long-running series, with story by Ken Penders and interior art by James Fry.
