Sonic the Hedgehog #36

Sonic and Tails tear through a snowy winter landscape on this vivid IDW cover, with Sonic snowboarding down a powder-spraying slope while Tails spins his twin tails overhead — all as a cluster of menacing Badnik robots closes in from both sides. The festive backdrop of glowing lights and a wooden roller coaster hints at some kind of amusement setting under siege, giving the scene an energetic mix of holiday cheer and robot trouble. Cover art is by Dan Schoening, with colors by Reggie Graham bringing the icy action to life, and the interior story "Chao Races and Badnik Bases, Part 4" is written and drawn by Evan Stanley.
