Sonic the Hedgehog #94

Knothole High School is open for business as Sonic, Tails, and a purple-haired young girl arrive on campus amid a flurry of autumn leaves, their expressions ranging from eager to coolly indifferent — it's a back-to-school scene with just the right amount of attitude. Patrick Spaziante's pencils and Harvey Mercadoocasio's inks give the trio a lively, expressive energy that suits the playful "Back to School!!" banner perfectly. Part of Sonic's 10th anniversary year, this 2001 Archie issue — with an interior story titled "New Order" by writer Karl Bollers and artist James Fry — promises the Freedom Fighters navigating some fresh new territory.
