Sonic the Hedgehog #172

This jam-packed cover for Sonic the Hedgehog #172 teases a whole lot happening in Mobius at once — Amy and Fiona clash in an intense mid-air confrontation, Tails and Antoine face their own charged moment, and a smug Scourge lurks in the corner promising secrets of his own, while a wide-eyed Sonic watches it all unfold from the sidelines. Pat Spaziante's cover art juggles four distinct story threads with real energy, laying out the issue like a satisfying anthology of personal drama and rivalry. With Ian Flynn writing and Tania del Rio on interior art, this 2007 Archie issue looks like a rewarding read for anyone invested in the relationships and rivalries of the Freedom Fighters.
