Sonic the Hedgehog #282

In "Wings of Fire, Part One: Fighting Fire with Fire," Sonic and the Freedom Fighters race against time to heal a Gaia Temple spirit corrupted by Dark Gaia energy, just as Conquering Storm closes in to claim it. Written by Ian Flynn and brought to life by Jamal Peppers’ dynamic art, with Terry Austin’s inks, Gabriel Cassata’s colors, and John Workman’s lettering, this 2016 issue delivers high-stakes urgency and the signature energy of the Archie Sonic series. Tyson Hesse’s striking cover captures the moment’s intensity, perfectly framing the clash of light and shadow.
