Sonic the Hedgehog #61

Sonic the Hedgehog #61 brings "Urban Warfare, Part 5" to a head with a cover by Mauro Fonseca that packs a real punch — Sonic crouches at the forefront in a battle-ready stance, flanked by a wolf, a lamb character clutching what appears to be a device, and a masked fox-like figure, all braced against a backdrop of looming purple creatures in a darkened cityscape. The group dynamic feels tense and purposeful, suggesting a team holding the line against something bigger than any one of them. IDW's 2023 series continues to deliver the kind of energetic ensemble action that makes this book such a treat for Sonic fans.
