IDW Sonic The Hedgehog #61 | A Comic Review by Megabeatman

[@59rlmccormack]

Sonic loves freedom and adventure, and seeing Shadow get better treatment makes the fandom happy. Thank God that SEGA is having a change of heart.

[@mileshk8083]

During that conversation between Shadow and Silver, Shadow almost said Silver's catchphrase - I love this interaction , kinda like Silver is angry at Shadow for "stealing his line". With all of these adventures and given the big timegap between Forces and Frontiers, I wonder where we could see the humble beginnings of Eggman creating Sage...

[@smugsneasel]

03:26 Everybody...A moment of silence. For IDW Eggman's greatest creation and deadliest weapon...the Egg Glock.

[@aidanhammans9337]

Shame the thing’s been getting weaker and weaker over the arcs. First it tore a hole in a building, then it couldn’t even damage the Piko Piko Hammer.

[@videogollumer]

🎉🎉🎉🎊🥳YEAH! The real Sonic's back! Death to Eggman's murder weapons! Sonic is DONE, baby! WHOO!

[@crimsonzone8984]

​@@videogollumerbut doesn't Sonic and Eggman have like similar dynamic with Ash & pikachu and team rocket? These western comics just take this very differently.

[@crimsonzone8984]

​@@aidanhammans9337 so the Egg Glock is the greatest weapon that eggman created. And it tore a hole in a building? Isn't that just kinda downplaying?

I love the sonic comic, Megabeatman: True Blue Reviews.👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌

[@forgarate0648]

Since the IDW comics are confirmed to be part of the game continuity, I'm hoping that eventually there will a moment where the characters (specifically Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles and Eggman) will leave for the Starfall Islands, while the comics focus on the other characters back home and looks into what they were up to during the events of Sonic Frontiers.

[@leonardoalvarenga7572]

There's a timeskip between Surge and Scrapnik Island, Sonic Mexico could have already taken place in that timeskip as well.

[@DarthMolgy]

@@leonardoalvarenga7572 That time skip is quite short though, and also it definitely doesn't align with the characters' new goals at the end of Frontiers, to speak nothing of Sage not being present.

[@nemohegdehog8944]

I loved the issue and always enjoy ones that give open endings to new story lines. I’m sure Eggman will somehow return or whatever, but this will give a good opportunity for some other villains to take spotlight for a bit. I wonder if Surge and Kit will hear about this and presume Eggman is dead and if that will spark anything in them. As for Clutch and the new guy, I’m all for it.

[@markgill346]

The New Guy is a disguised Mimic the Octopus.

[@nemohegdehog8944]

@@markgill346 Rats, I was hoping for a heroic IDW Original male in the story to actually be a good guy. Ha

[@videogollumer]

@@nemohegdehog8944 Tell me about it; I know they want to balance the number of girls to guys among the heroes, but is it too much to ask for ONE major male good guy created for these comics... who isn't DEAD?!

[@Snaaaaap]

​​@@videogollumer know it's cliche but I keep thinking of getting sonic JP equivalent of a swordsman and maybe a knight.

[@Snaaaaap]

I want new villains, too. One off ones and low stakes. Don't have to endanger the world.

[@reygunpocket]

Eggman pulling up a Glock will never not be funny to me. And I love it.

[@beckthetinkerbot]

The writers need to make Belle the New Diamond cutters mechanic, cause that's what I'm doing in my Sonic universe, although Eggman is reformed and chose to remain as mister tinker after he got his memories back their are still other villains out there including ones from other universes who invade the one I created.

I wasn't entirely sure what would happen in the end, but I wasn't expecting that Echidna statue at the end. If I know my history correctly, isnt that the same design used by the NOCTURNUS CLAN FROM SONIC CHRONICLES?

Might as well bring Archie Sonic characters into IDW. I think that they could come together like the dragon ball heroes anime.

[@emperortoho]

@@crimsonzone8984 a dbh-like thing where its a crackhead crossover from things across the franchise is really the only way for them to come back well for sally to come back, everyone else can easily be retooled into the canon, especially the post sgw ocs like relic eclipse razor and coral

[@endlesseclipse6505]

eggman: i`ve created the ultimate weapon! *pulls out a gun*

[@jasonharris3502]

I still a little bit miffed that I didn't see Lanolin anywhere during the victory picnic. I'm mean after all,she was the one who kind of spearheaded this whole operation. It's only fitting that she joined her friends in the festivities as well.

[@ahmadstewasamlrt2202]

I love sonic IDW and your reviews.❤🎉

[@stel7425]

Isn't this supposed to be 61 not 60

[@Rman94]

Eggperial city was a culmination of Eggman's past schemes from the previous story arcs which in my opinion If he hadn't fired Starline would've set up a scenario very similar to the Sonic Satam cartoon. As for the Picnic our hero's enjoyed I guessing there wasn't enough Chili-dogs to keep Sonic's attention and Lanolin was probably overseeing clean up efforts at the city ruins or something.

[@Snaaaaap]

What coulda been better for this arc: The shadow androids not just be forgotten about Lanolins team doing more than standing around most of the arc Silver barely doing anything but fight shrimpy badniks and rocks Tangle being written in a more believable way to evade metal Whisper not just crumpling to her trauma for tangle to console her again and get some actual pay back on the androids that left her tramatized A pretty lukewarm arc, but not as egregious as the last one?

[@videogollumer]

I'm not sure if Whisper could beat even one Shadow Android on her own.

[@Snaaaaap]

@@videogollumer hmm, direct confrontation would be unlikely, but her sniping them from a distance with the laser wisp or something more powerful would've been cool.

[@videogollumer]

@@Snaaaaap Well, at least she got to give Eggman himself the "Amy Treatment"; he had that coming for a long time from both Whisper's perspective and in general.

[@Snaaaaap]

@@videogollumer I guess, if only they actually sold the moment for true cartharis for what Eggman had put her through. We don't even get to see the impact or lingering damage like a cartoony bump or bandaid.

[@videogollumer]

@@Snaaaaap He was sent flying and spinning into Metal Sonic; that sells it for me.

[@anthonysmith3415]

well we're not touching Adam Bryce Thomas art in Trade Paper Back so the previous issue has to change to conform to the better art

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Hm, fair and valid points and opinions. Anyway, Yet another Arc done, can’t wait for the next one, I will look forward to it.

[@jasonharris3502]

I hope that see more of the new Diamond Cutters in the future. 💎

[@crimsonzone8984]

You want the new Diamond Cutters to be in Silver's world/time?

[@stg4theglitchog768]

When will Sonic be able to lose again?

[@videogollumer]

From the end of Issue 5 up until the end of Issue 55, Sonic's been making dumb world endangering decision after dumb world endangering decision; and you're WANTING him to lose?! As far as I'm concerned, this is the first time he won!

[@Snaaaaap]

What are you talking about? He almost never wins without help from his friends or somebody else.

[@hamstersandwich9917]

I mean he pretty much lost the fight against Surge and Kit so..
