Whole bunch of new covers have been released over the last week. Figured I’d group them all together for a weekend post. Some of these you’ve seen before from our exclusive NYCC coverage, but not in this kind of quality. Here are the covers and the story synopsis.
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #221
“Changing Tempo”: Sonic’s eager to hear the new sound of Mina and her band – but will he like what he hears? Tensions are running high, and that’s before an evil presence starts lurking in the shadows! Then, in “Second Impressions,” Nicole and Espio deal with the fallout from the Iron Dominion invasion- along with a surprise third party!

These bring back such memories..I will never forget that blue hedgehogs face :)))))))
The sooner I get these issues, the better.
That Sonic Universe cover is hilarious. I love the look on Nack’s face. I also love that Bean is paired up with Jet and Bark with Storm. Honestly when I first saw the trailer for Sonic Riders, I thought Jet was supposed to be Bean and Storm was supposed to be Bark.
The artwork on the archive covers are so good. Volume 15 looks awesome.
It’s weird that original game design of Robotnik doesn’t appear in comics but does cameo twice in Sonic Selects covers (if OVA adaption and Dr. Ivo Kintobor does not count).
Oh wow. XD
Don’t fuck with Cream. ¦D
