Sonic the Hedgehog #228

Part three of the "Sonic Genesis" arc arrives in this 2011 Archie Comics issue, marking Sonic the Hedgehog's 20th anniversary in style. Patrick Spaziante's cover captures Sonic mid-sprint in a lush jungle setting, fists pumping with trademark attitude, while Tails flies in behind him, a menacing Badnik explodes in the background, and the glowing eyes of Metal Sonic lurk ominously in the shadows. With Ian Flynn writing and Tracy Yardley on interior art, "Divide and Conquer" promises exactly the kind of high-energy adventure this cover is selling.
