Sonic the Hedgehog #226

Marking Sonic the Hedgehog's 20th anniversary in style, this special issue kicks off the "Sonic: Genesis" arc with a cover that puts the blue blur front and center — confident smirk, one finger raised, rings gleaming in the background against a sunny Green Hill-inspired landscape. It's a celebratory portrait that leans into the character's legacy while signaling that something fresh is on the horizon. A great snapshot of Archie's long-running series at a milestone moment.
