In "Sword of Omens," Sonic races into the treacherous Dark Forest with Mina at his side, determined to stop Dr. Eggman's latest scheme and honor her parents' memory. When a Com-bot assault threatens to overwhelm them, Sonic makes a desperate move that results in the loss of the legendary Sword of Acorn—now in Eggman's hands. Written by Karl Bollers and illustrated by James Fry and Ron Lim, with inks by Andrew Pepoy and Jim Amash, colors by Frank Gagliardo, and letters by Vickie Williams, the cover by Pat Spaziante and Ken Penders captures the tension of this pivotal moment.
