Sonic the Hedgehog #201

Issue #201 of Archie's long-running series finds Sonic center stage — literally — flashing a double peace sign under stadium lights as a crowd of fans cheers from below. Behind him, a lively cast of familiar faces including Tails, Sally, Amy, and several others celebrate alongside him on what looks like a triumphant concert stage bathed in warm pink and golden light. It's a genuinely feel-good cover that captures the fun, community spirit at the heart of this series right in the middle of its 2009 run.
