Sonic the Hedgehog #70

Issue #70 of IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog brings the energy of a high-speed urban race straight to its cover, where a sleek black-and-red hoverboard racer dominates the foreground, gloves outstretched in aggressive mid-competition form, with a green-armored rider close on their tail. Joining the chase in the background are an array of colorful competitors — a white-haired figure in a coat, a teal-haired racer, a green hedgehog on a board, and a blue robot-like character toting a camera — all tearing through a breezy cityscape. Aaron Hammerstrom's cover art crackles with momentum, making this 2024 milestone issue feel like a celebration of pure speed and rivalry.
