☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free Sonic and Sally Acorn find themselves side by side behind prison bars on this striking cover, their determined expressions suggesting they're not about to wait around for rescue. Tracy Yardley's artwork captures real urgency in the moment, with the cold stone cell and heavy lock reinforcing just how dire their situation appears. As a bonus, the issue also promises a special Sonic and the Black Knight video game story inside, making this a particularly well-rounded package for fans of the blue blur.
