Sonic the Hedgehog #2

This French-language collection from Mana Books brings the subtitle Le Retour du Docteur Eggman — and the cover says it all: Sonic and Tails stand back-to-back beneath the looming shadow of a massive pale hand reaching down from a dark, eerie sky, glowing jack-o'-lantern-like orbs dotting the ominous landscape behind them. The duo looks tense but ready, perfectly capturing the sense of a dangerous threat closing in from above. With Ian Flynn writing and Tracy Yardley on art, this 2019 volume delivers the kind of high-stakes adventure fans of the blue blur won't want to miss.
