Sonic Universe #88

Part two of the "Shattered" arc arrives in Sonic Universe #88, and Tracy Yardley's cover sets the tension perfectly: Knuckles and Shadow are caught mid-confrontation inside a darkened cave, both looking startled — and for good reason, as a massive, cloaked dark figure with glowing red eyes looms ominously in the foreground, prompting the cover's own tantalizing question: "Could it be…?" Ian Flynn scripts the story with art by Adam Bryce Thomas, promising that whatever lurks in the shadows is very much the point of this issue. If you're following the "Shattered" storyline, this 2016 Archie Comics entry is exactly the kind of mystery-fueled chapter that keeps you reaching for the next issue.
