A mysterious, skull-masked figure in a dark cloak looms large over the cover of Sonic the Hedgehog #81, clutching a massive glittering gem while Sonic, Tails, Shadow, and Rouge charge forward beneath them — a team-up that signals serious trouble ahead. "The Stage Is Set, Part 1" promises exactly that: an opening move with high stakes and a compelling new threat at center stage. Cover pencils and inks by Evan Stanley make this 2025 IDW release an eye-catching entry in the series.
