Sonic Universe #81

Silver the Hedgehog takes center stage on this striking cover by Tracy Yardley, fists raised and psychic energy blazing behind him as a cast of robotic and organic figures — including a large-eared fox, shadowy cloaked robots, a distressed blue robot, and a mechanical combatant — crowd the edges of the scene. Part three of four in "The Silver Age" arc, this 2015 Archie Comics issue keeps the tension building as Silver clearly finds himself surrounded by an eclectic and not entirely friendly crowd. Fans following this futuristic storyline will find plenty of visual intrigue to set the stage for what promises to be a pivotal chapter.
