Sonic the Hedgehog #271

Issue #271 wraps up the four-part "Champions" arc with "The One Left Standing," and Tracy Yardley's cover captures the energy perfectly — a determined Sonic dominates the foreground while Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and a crowd of familiar faces including what appears to be Metal Sonic surge behind him, all set against a bold red-and-gold backdrop bearing the "King of the Rings" badge. It's a vibrant ensemble shot that conveys real stakes for the finale. Ian Flynn scripts, with interior art from Ryan Jampole and Diana Skelly, making this a strong close to one of 2015's most action-packed Archie Sonic storylines.
