Surge joins the Good Guys | Sonic Speed Reading

Surge is back and…a good guy?? Let’s check out IDW Sonic 67 to see what sparked this change of heart…

[@someguyontheinternet2399]

You'd think Shadow would get involved with Kit and Surge given his history with memory loss too... Not to mention he was also a labrat.

[@hyperdreamer9483]

Though I feel like Surge and Kit would be even more angry cause they know that their situation and Shadow’s are very different since Shadow lost his memories while Surge and Kit had their memories completely erased and were turned into completely different people from who they were. Not to mention the reason each was created with Shadow originally being made to be a cure for diseases while Surge and Kit were made to be weapons

[@thedastardlylizard5944]

Surge being a Reverse Flash and steeling Amy from Sonic just to f with him… “It was me Sonic… I put gum on the bottom of your shoes so that every time you step you’ll hear that irritating sound on the bottom of your foot that you will be unstoppable to stop…”

[@Dr.PaiPai]

​@@hyperdreamer9483It's still similar. Shadow losing his memories experienced what Surge and Kit are going through when he had no idea who he was or what his purpose was. Sure, there are differences but it's mostly the same.

i'm surprised you barely talked about kit in this chapter. i thought he was great. he was just scowling in every frame he was in which i found funny, and even mimic pointed it out to him when they met up in their room. then that sudden shift kit had in the end of the chapter when mimic told him tails was a priority target and kit smiling and saying "I like it here now" was actually slightly terrifying

[@hyperdreamer9483]

Yeah bro was having none of what they were selling. Honestly Kit’s behaviour kinda reminded me of a unsocialized puppy, he’s defensive to anyone he doesn’t know and trust using aggressive to keep them at arms length while being completely unconfident and nervous of being left alone like when he jumped to join the Diamond Cutters with Surge

[@courier6856]

I’m actually super curious on how might Kit interact with Tangle since they are just straight polar opposites. One is a free spirit that acts on their own while the other follows what he’s told no matter what. (I honestly really hope that Kit can be somewhat redeemed thanks to the Diamond Cutters)

[@hyperdreamer9483]

That would be interesting, I imagine Kit would be rather indifferent being used to being around someone hyperactive and loud with Tangle simply being curious about Kit wondering why he hangs around with Surge. For Kit becoming redeemed 1 of 2 things would need to happen either Surge is redeemed first and Kit is simply along for the ride as usual, or he’s released from his programming and not having to do everything Surge says

[@BlackFlash09]

That could be interesting. Shadow’s memories were also altered by his creator.

[@courier6856]

@@hyperdreamer9483 I hope it’s the second thing because I really want Kit to become his own person and he’s suffered a lot so I think he deserves a nice outcome for this current run. I believe the point that reveals/shows that he’s broken free from the programming, it should be him simply saying one word to Surge’s face: “No”

Probably not since hes deadass so gloomy. Which is understandable with what Kit and Surge have been through

It's a shame so many people hate Lanolin due to her encounter with Whisper over Duo - her being so serious in a world of goofballs who will actively stick to the books is what makes her such a good foil for the cast while not having her explicitly be an antagonist...

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Fair Points.

[@scarletlion1318]

I don't like Lanolin the Sheep. The reason why I do not like Lanolin the Sheep is because of her introduction and how much she failed her team when she didn't listen to them when there was a concern. Like this situation literally got me very frustrated right now. This could have been avoided if Lanolin asked Duo to take his gloves off since Mimic can't disguise his hands. And Whisper never made up stories like this before and she has been through trauma. So Lanolin not taking Whisper's words into consideration and leaving her there gets me frustrated. And Silver is more professional with his powers so him have an accident is rubbish and Silver said that Duo a.k.a Mimic tripped him and let him get eaten by a robot fish and Silver saying that Duo's eyes turning black while Whisper seeing this is a clear warning to take things into consideration and like at this but instead Lanolin chose to disregarded that. Lanolin didn't think that "hmmm, I should be in my teammates shoes." or "I should look in on this and ask or observe Duo." or "I should be in my teammates shoes and see where they're coming from." But no she chose not to do that. It like when you warn a friend of danger and triggering one of the friend's trauma and what they been through and their friend group with a witness and your friends never lying to you about anything this serious but that one friend says no and guilts you for have the thought or concern in the first place and makes you feel ashamed, disregarding everyone's safety for themselves and letting obliviousness and maybe ego getting in the way. Everybody has more experienced than Lanolin so Whisper knows what she's talking about. I mean who would make up a lie like that. Lanolin is forgetting that Mimic is an assassin, murder to his team, and scar Whisper for life. So Lanolin actions and what she did was upset and takes to this sheep I'd stop reading the comics anymore because she's got me so upset.

[@kaistudios5536]

@@scarletlion1318 I honestly think those flaws make her more real than anything. I like that she's not entirely likeable and has some genuine flaws that she needs to improve upon.

[@TheIDcard123]

​@scarletlion1318 Whisper and Silver did not handle the situation with Duo well when they had other means to do so. If they had approached Lanolin about the matter separately, she definitely would have took their words into consideration. All Whisper and Silver did was assault someone in public and their only evidence was a "trust me bro." Lanolin being a militaristic, straight-man (sheep?) foil to the rest of the cast barring some could be actually enjoyable when written well. This entire Duo situation just did no favors from the fanbase because of their extreme attachment to Silver and Whisper. Regardless, how this entire situation gets resolved is anyone's guess.

[@zeoxdragon]

Surge and Kit are more fun as villains than anything else, so I hope they never actually fully join the good guys. I also hope they find happiness together, they might be villains but that doesn't means they doesn't have each other.

[@ViroVeteruscy]

It'll be interesting to see what happens when Surge and Kit are separated for a long period of time. It's happened before when Kit thought Surge had died, but now that there's nothing to worry about at the moment, it'll be interesting to see what happens when Sonic and friends need them for tasks that don't require the both of them. Surge can likely go with the flow (unless it's a front and she's constantly worried about Kit), but Kit will likely be super indecisive and not know what to do as he wouldn't have Surge there to tell him. Maybe Kit might try to do something to Tails, but that'd go against the plan, though he might accidently make things more obvious due to his expressions. Glad this series is still going strong :3

I had to read this issue with a towel on my desk, because Kit's hatred and loathing was just dripping off the pages! This issue left me terrified for Tails, because good lord that little Fennec is boiling over with rage. I'm also really hoping that we'll get to see a conversation between Surge and Shadow, because those two have quite a lot in common in terms of their origins. Despite Sonic's confidence and knowing smile, I really think showing these guys the intimate workings of their homebase when they don't actually trust them yet is a God awful idea! Also, did anyone else pick up on how nervous Sonic's dashing around and Silver's moving heavy objects was making all the workers nervous? Anyone who knows anything about forklifts knows how dangerous those things can be, and how important balance and weight distribution is. Meanwhile Sonic and Silver are treating the place like their own personal playground! I have no doubt Jewel will be receiving a fair few complaints about them endangering the mere mortals who are trying to work.

[@ashtonwilliams1800]

I like where this storyline is going, something amazing that IDW can do is just swap the dynamic between Surge and Kit. Imagine this: Surge - The usually hotheaded, unflinching powerhouse, completely sure of herself all the time, begins to soften up during the assignment. Her negative outlook on life starts to brighten up in the presence of the Restoration members (as shown when she’s genuinely surprised that Kit and her are allowed a choice about joining) and, over the course of a few missions with the Neo Diamond Cutters, starts to have second doubts about not only betraying everyone but also about her outlook. Kit - the timid, insecure yet loyal companion, the more tactful and clever of the too, starts to let pure hate guide him. He creates a shell around him, further bottling his emotions only ever letting out anger, malice and resentment, his distain and distrust of everyone (with the exception of Surge and maybe Clutch & Mimic) allowing him to become blindly determined to finish his mission and get rid of all of them. This complete turn around surrounding the signature personalities of these two would be genius and what makes it better is how it would culminate in. With Surge caving in and telling her little brother that they can change, be more then living weapons; but Kit refusing the possibility and now, in his eyes, betrayed by his only friend, completely breaks down and goes AWOL. Resulting in an emotional duel between the once imposters. In summary: I hope that in the end, SurgeandKitjoinTeamDark

[@Green-Hybrid3017]

This is going to end horribly. If they end up betraying the resistance and destroying the headquarters, this Will be sonic and Amy’s fault.

[@gototheend1139]

Personally I think they might be going down that route but, I think the point they are making I wouldn't be their fault. As Amy and Sonic keeps saying, it's their choice. They are just giving them a chance to turn their lives around, and they know they could be playing them, but if they do betray them, it'd be their choice, I just hope that when it's done, and IF they do change (the creators said they want them to always be villains) they don't try to sweep it under the rug, and any more attempts to help them would be at arms length, but to be honest I'm just curious where they are going with this, considering this feels like this would be their last story

I don't think Surge and Clutch are related. But I wouldn't be surprised if he's responsible for her disappearance from her previous life. I wouldn't be surprised if Surge's redemption arc comes through Amy. A lot of people (myself included) have speculated as much. Thank you for showing some respect to Lanolin instead of calling her a "Sally Acorn Clone". When people call any female character this term, it gives the impression that they only see them as Sally Acorn, not their own individual character. Listening to your speed reading of this issue makes me believe that every time Amy deflects being the former leader of the Restoration is the writers way of saying that they too are tired of the Sally Acorn comparisons. Am I reading too much into this? Maybe. Then again, Lanolin did dress like Classic Amy for at least one issue. So, maybe Lanolin's journey as a character is meant to parallel Amy's. This would make sense as Lanolin made her first appearance in Issue #2 and she probably saw Amy in action as she saved her town.

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Hm, pretty much mine line of thought, somewhat.

I like Lanolin’s reasoning for accepting them into the Diamond Cutters if they want to join, but I wish they had given Tangle more than “yeah whatever sonic says” because I feel like she’s becoming increasingly 2 dimensional

[@Graphomite]

I like how Surge isn't leaning into the act of wanting forgiveness, but acting natural and pushing buttons, like she's cynical yet genuinely curious as to _how_ Sonic and his crew could be so trusting rather than pretending to be nice and dismissing all the the kindness as nonsense. She's never witnessed open-mindedness before except while enraged, and this mission forces her to calmly face, speak with, and learn about normal people rather than focusing selfishly on her own miserable past. I also like how much sense it makes for her to respect Whisper's defensiveness, despite being hesitant to show respect elsewhere.

The Mecha Sally arc which ended with a sudden reboot for an almost two-decade continuity because of a lawsuit and then the Sonic Unleashed story line in post reboot Archie that took years and had the comic cancelled soon after. IDW has been bleeding money since before they got Sonic and given the state of American comics a hiatus can easily turn into "pencils down".

Hm, I can see your points, but i prefer waiting and seeing before getting into any conclusions.

Why would IDW end? There is no reason for it unlike Archie

@@Goku-fn3qd so far it doesn’t.

@@Goku-fn3qd For several years now IDW the publisher has been losing money and cancelling books, just as the American comic industry as a whole has been bleeding red ink for the last decade

[@Goku-fn3qd]

@@johanstenfelt1206 true but at the same time IDW has been doing the best job with Sonic, so unless Sega doesn’t want Sonic comics existing at all again, there is no reason for IDW to be cancelled. Unless, worst case scenario, IDW itself goes bankrupt or something

sonic is becoming like goku even if it takes years

[@betabee1221]

God i just want Surge, Kit, Whisper, Tangle, and the rest of these wonderful characters to actually appear physically in a Sonic game.

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Hm, I see, this was a very well done Review, good job. This truly were a very interesting Issue, the things it seems to setup is very intriguing and if this was supposed to be the conclusion of the Preparation Arc for whatever is about to come, this certainly made very excited and can’t wait for what’s in store. Regardless of that, as interesting as this Issue was, there was some things throughout this Issue that just felt off to me, more specifically in regards to Surge, Not in a bad way mind you, but rather in a curious way, I don’t know what exactly it is, but something about Surge’s demeanor throughout the Issue, flashback included, just felt off to me and perhaps kind of questionable too, at least in comparison to last we saw her, Now I do recognize that Surge might just be putting up an Act, at least in HQ, similar to how she put up an Act to trick Starline in her’s and Kit’s Mini-Series, but even with that in mind, something still doesn’t feel right, Like it’s not quite what I expected to see, especially after how that last encounter ended, she just seems so mellowed out and more relaxed in comparison to how she was last time, it kind of gives me the impression that this might not be the exact same Surge we knew before. Now, I am aware that I might just be looking too much into this, but I have now kind of been thinking, specifically about that last encounter we had with her and how it turned out, for those who might not remember, last time we saw her, she got knocked out after the Gadget she was using short-circuited giving her quite the shock (pun not intended) throughout her entire body, Now, I have always wondered about that particular moment, about what it could potentially mean for when we’ll eventually meet her again and now I have been wondering about that even more, Because can we really be sure that knocking her out was all that gadget did when it short-circuited? Who’s to say, that it didn’t do something more, especially when considering the confirmation that the thing did have some kind of effect on her mind just as much as her abilities? Just some food for thought there. But anyway, there are some other details about Surge that stood out to me in this Issue, like for example: How she seemed to really consider what Amy said about her having a choice, how pleased she seemed to be about Whisper not trusting her and why she decided to go along with Clutch’s terms when she could’ve just forced him to speak then and there, as we as a Particular Detail within a Particular Panel within the Issue that Particularly stood out to me. But despite all of that the TDLR is, regardless of if any of my suspicions hold water or not, I am just getting the vibe that this Issue is setting bread crumbs for Surge to actually turn a new kind of leaf, while Kit perhaps needs some more time to do so, At very least, do any of us really believe that Surge actually trust Clutch to hold up his end of the deal? At the end of the day, regardless of it all, we’ll just have to wait and see what will be the case, when the Comic starts again and we get some updates to this particular Plot.

If I had a nickle everytime for every time a double agent was named Duo in a series with a blue protagonist, I'd have two nickles; it's not a lot, but it's weird that its happened twice.

That could be the case or maybe we could get a surprise l

I'm apathetic at this point. If it works out for Sonic, people will complain. If it blows up in his face, people will complain. There's no pleasing you people.

Good Question.

People say that laughter is the best medicine but in terms of liklihood I'd say that the reason why sonic seems healthy is because he's constantly doing good... and probably because he's a speedster that excercises everyday(lol)

I really wanna see shadow and surge meet how would they interact would it maybe be similar to sonic

[@markusnavergard2387]

Whisper, just shoot Duo right then and there. Joke, but seriously, you´d think that Whisper would have equiped her mask with like some tails gizmo to detect if Mimic is near. i meant he guy is a cephlopod. he has no bone structure. like give her an X-ray scope. no matter how good Mimic is at altering his outer look he cant change his biology. As for Kit and Surge. i think there might be a point where they come around. not full on good heroes, but not on the villains side.
