Sonic the Hedgehog #222

Part four of the "Countdown to Genesis" arc arrives with a cover full of energy and heart — Sonic sweeps Sally off her feet mid-stride, leaves scattering across a cobblestone street as the two share a wide-eyed, grinning moment together. Amy Rose and a startled bystander look on from the background, adding a fun layer of reaction to the scene. It's a charming, kinetic snapshot of Archie's long-running series at a compelling story milestone in 2011.
