The Archie Sonic Blog has put up the cover and description for Sonic #196. Look at that! It’s Super Scourge. The purple fits him, considering Sonic and Shadow both go the opposite colors of what they are when they go super. You’ll have to wait a couple of months to get this issue, though.

“Hedgehog Havoc, Part Two”: The “New Moebius” saga comes to an explosive end as hero and villain alike tremble at the power of Super Scourge! The fate of two worlds hangs by a thread, but what can Sonic do against his invincible evil twin? You can’t miss this epic climax to the biggest Sonic story of the year!
