Sonic the Hedgehog #115

Sonic the Hedgehog #115 was published by Archie Comics in November 2002 as part of a long-running series based on Sega's video game franchise. This issue is notable for being part of the 'World's Collide' era, a period defined by complex internal politics and evolving lore that helped define the Archie Sonic canon. It features the creative work of writer Ian Flynn and artist Art Mawhinney, who were instrumental in maintaining the series' distinct tone during a time of significant narrative transition.

The design of this issue reflects the established Archie house style, which sought to bridge the gap between the minimalist aesthetics of the Sega games and a more expanded, comic-book-inspired world. Art Mawhinney, known for his clean lines and expressive character work, utilized a vibrant visual language that was well-received by the fan community. The issue focuses on maintaining continuity within the sprawling Freedom Fighters arc, serving as a functional piece of world-building that satisfied the expectations of readers invested in the monthly episodic format.
