Sonic the Hedgehog #285

Part two of the "Panic in the Sky" arc arrives with a cover that makes the stakes immediately clear — a massive, snarling werehog form of Sonic dominates the stormy sky, looming over a chaotic aerial battle scene. Dr. Eggman, a struggling Cream the Rabbit, and a walrus-like figure scramble below while enemy ships streak and explode in the background, with a hulking robot visible to the right. Dan Schoening's cover pencils and inks deliver a wonderfully dynamic composition that captures the sheer scale of the conflict Sonic and his allies are facing in this 2016 Archie Comics entry.
