Sonic the Hedgehog #8

Sonic the Hedgehog is living up to his reputation on this bright, energetic cover from Dave Manak and Jon D'Agostino — the Blue Blur blazes forward in a cloud of dust, leaving a spinning top, a chain, scattered gadgets, and a fiery pursuer all tumbling in his wake. The tagline says it all: Sonic "Leaves the Competition in the Dust," and the chaotic debris field behind him makes a convincing case. Issue #8 of Archie's Adventure Series rolls into "'Bots All, Folks, Part 1" with the kind of confident swagger that made this series a staple of 1994 spinner racks.
