Sonic the Hedgehog #160

Sonic bursts forward in a blur of blue energy on Patrick Spaziante's striking cover for this 2006 Archie Adventure Series issue, capturing the hedgehog mid-sprint with an intense, focused expression that makes the tagline "The World's Most Way Past Cool Comic!" feel entirely earned. Subtitled "Out of the Blue," the cover art keeps the spotlight squarely on Sonic himself, rendered with satisfying dynamism against a glowing cobalt background. Inside, writer and artist Tania del Rio kicks off "Birthday Bash! Part One: Giving and Receiving," with inks by Jim Amash and colors by Ben Hunzeker rounding out a solid creative team.
