Sonic the Hedgehog #270

Part three of the "Champions" arc arrives with one of the most playful covers of 2015 — a retro "select your ability" game-screen layout showcasing Sonic (Speed), Tails (Flight), Knuckles (Power), and Amy with her hammer front and center, each framed in their own bold panel. Cover pencils by Jennifer Hernandez and inks by Terry Austin give the quartet a crisp, energetic look that perfectly suits the crossover excitement of the "Worlds Unite" banner running through this issue. Whether you're Team Speed or Team Hammer, this Archie Comics entry makes a strong case for the whole roster.
