Sonic the Hedgehog #5

Sonic stands coiled and ready in a muddy clearing under driving rain, fists raised and expression locked in fierce concentration — it's a striking, rain-soaked moment that sets a serious tone for "Mr. Tinker." IDW's fifth issue of their 2018 Sonic the Hedgehog series brings together writer Ian Flynn and artist Tracy Yardley, with cover art by Kieran Gates capturing the blue blur looking every bit like trouble is just around the corner. If this opener is any indication, the series is hitting its stride with real confidence.
