Sonic the Hedgehog #272

Sonic the Hedgehog #272 kicks off the "Worlds Unite" crossover event with a cover by Edwin Huang that puts the Blue Blur front and center — fist thrust forward, red sneakers churning through debris, with flames and explosions lighting up the background behind him. The bold tagline "A Hero… Under Fire!" sets a dramatic tone that feels entirely earned given the chaos surrounding him. With Ian Flynn scripting and a talented art team inside, this 2015 Archie Comics issue looks like a thrilling entry point into a big story.
