Synopsis: SONIC is BACK in "Genesis of a Hero" Part One: It's Sonic's 25th Anniversary and we're celebrating in style—retro-style that is! See Sonic in his first climactic show-down with Dr. Eggman, straight from the gameplay of the first Sonic the Hedgehog game! But what happens after the battle? And what new force arises once the dust has settled? It's the story you know with a new twist! Featuring cover art by the legendary Patrick Spaziante and a "Best Buds" variant by the lovely Genevieve FT!
