Sonic the Hedgehog: Scrapnik Island #2

The second chapter of IDW's Sonic the Hedgehog: Scrapnik Island wastes no time setting an ominous mood, with Nathalie Fourdraine's cover art filling the frame with the massive, glowing eye and looming mechanical form of what appears to be a colossal robot — rusted bolts and darkened plating suggesting something ancient and dangerous lurking in the shadows. It's an effectively unsettling image that hints at the threats waiting on this mysterious island. With Daniel Barnes writing, Jack Lawrence on art and inks, and Fourdraine's colors bringing it all to vivid life, this 2022 series is shaping up to be a genuinely compelling corner of the Sonic universe.
