Sonic the Hedgehog #31

In "A Robot Rides the Rails," the Freedom Fighters board a high-speed train to intercept a mysterious new robot weapon Dr. Robotnik is shipping, but tensions flare between Sonic and Geoffrey St. John as their long-standing rivalry threatens to derail the mission. Written and illustrated by Ken Penders, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Mindy Eisman, this 1996 issue delivers a pulse-pounding mix of action and friction. The cover, by Pat Spaziante and Harvey Mercadoocasio, captures the train’s electric rush with sharp, dynamic lines.
