James M's review of IDW SONIC #71-72


 









Yo, welcome back, Sonic nation! 

And it is time for a mini-review of IDW Sonic issues 71 and 72. So, to make a long story short, the plot is thickening when Mimic impersonates Sonic's alter ego of the Phantom Rider and unmasks Sonic in front of certain folks like the Babylon Rogues, Tangle, and Whisper. Oh, and Amy & Tails free Belle from her tied-up predicament and our pink hedgehog friend somewhat figures out who the leader of Clean Sweep Inc is. Meanwhile, that obvious someone is making plans of his own.

And this is all in issue 71.

Issue 72 sees Surge and Kit try to quit Clutch's employ, Sonic encounters Nite the Owl during one of his Phantom Rider missions, and Tails, Amy and Belle learn the true identities of the Clean Sweep mascots Doctor Yolk and Nick. Spoilers end here by the way.

I'm aware I kind of repeat myself, but these issues are undeniably spot on, and these Sonic comics, even without the non-game materials fans enjoy, remain fun to look at and own to read again and again from time to time. Both of these issues get a 9, and I salute the efforts of the writers and I'd like to thank SEGA for working closely with IDW to get Sonic right in the comics.

See ya.
