Sonic the Hedgehog #176

In "Cracking the Empire," Dr. Eggman unleashes a terrifying new scheme, seizing nearly all of Knothole Village’s population and transporting them to the ominous Egg Grapes—where their life force will power his growing dominion. Written by Ian Flynn and illustrated by Tracy Yardley, with inks by Jim Amash, colors by Jason Jensen, and letters by John Workman, this 2007 issue delivers high-stakes tension as the fate of Mobius hangs in the balance. The cover by Tracy Yardley and Jim Amash captures the dread of Eggman’s latest conquest.
