Sonic the Hedgehog #20

Issue #20 of IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog delivers a striking close-up confrontation on its cover by Tracy Yardley, with a snarling, feral-looking creature looming aggressively behind a wide-eyed Sonic — the tension between the two faces filling every inch of the image. The contrast between the beast's yellow-eyed menace and Sonic's startled expression makes for a genuinely arresting composition. With Ian Flynn writing and Jack Lawrence on interior art and inks, colored by Bracardi Curry, this 2019 issue promises the kind of kinetic, character-driven storytelling that keeps fans coming back.
