Sonic the Hedgehog #261

In "Waves of Change, Part Two: Current Events," the sudden removal of Coral from her role as guardian of Meropis leaves the underwater kingdom vulnerable, as the barrier protecting it from deep-sea threats begins to falter. With the city's defenses weakened, Sonic and his allies must step in to help the Meropis guard hold the line against the rising tide of monsters. Written by Ian Flynn and illustrated by Jennifer Hernandez, with inks by Terry Austin, colors by Gabriel Cassata, and letters by John Workman, this issue features a cover by Ben Bates that captures the mounting tension beneath the waves.
