IDW Sonic The Hedgehog #52 | A Comic Review by Megabeatman 

To be fair, at least Metal didn't just blitz through Belle to get to Sonic. In hindsight, him knocking her aside was a lot gentler then what he could have done, considering Belle is pretty much a badnik Pinocchio.

Surge is ready to cause chaos against Sonic, his friends and allies & Eggman.

Wow surge really is a lot like juri from street fighter. She even says “this is gonna be fun” which is one of the phrases juri says in game.

wonder why Eggman has an entire crate of model kits, wonder if he runs a Plamo business and there's people in the world who would buy model kits of his badniks

Btw I believe we did see the dinomo gadget before in sonic colors remake particularly the animation trailer for the remake where metal uses a similar device to use whisps... so you can guess Metal was present at colors.

Yeah Surge isn't free from Starline she be Haunted from Starline for rest of her life.

Now is really dangerous with that wisp equipment, now metal sonic to save his dad, maybe sonic and his friends might save him

Ok this part had me dying 8:48

Hm, how very interesting, i wonder if this could potentially lead into Surge vs Kit?

Next time: Surge vs Metal Sonic round two.

I feel like the cage might damage her mind considering the future issue covers

Surge is gonna to find out the hard way what the kinks are with the device she has.

Atomic storytelling from IDW Sonic, sweet review.

Don't know how to feel about Sonic saying "daddy dearest" (my mind is getting reminded of FNF of all things). It definitely feels like someone Sonic would say in one of the boost games. Based on what I seen from Frontiers, it seems to be going in the right direction (to be fair anything Ian Flynn writes just feels normal to me). Other than that, good issue and great review

If CJdacamp makes a around table with video game charathers I want Metal Sonic on the front of the room my gosh the way he smacks Belle just says it all that these hands are ratted E for erveryone !

I wonder if Surge could change her mind away from burning the world.

Funny I picture a tiny little tutorial robot that she picks up and throws into the chasm and then it says you're mean look I did a lot of things in adventure 2

I also hope they make figures about sonic idw, but i would prefer to do tangle ,whisper and dr starline

I ❤️ this comic

Another great review!

I really liked this issue a lot. Everyone worked together. And it felt like so much happened.

nooo...Metal Sonic, no hitting cinnamoin roll and great review

After Surge is defeated I don't think this book will be worth reading anymore.

hi. from what i saw in the covers of future comics Whisper will have hard time (i STRONGLY hope it won't be Afterlife)

In the meantime while you're waiting you could also order a custom version from Wake Angel 2001 I'm sure he will not turn it down

Does anyone else besides me see the Dynamo Cage has a similar concept to the Wisp Capsule that Metal Sonic used in Rise of the Wisp?

You awesome man.

On the topic of Starline actually being dead. I'm definitely not saying that I would want him to be alive to have some type of redemption. Cuz obviously that would never happen also he doesn't deserve it. However, when a Certain particular Villain is just so suddenly just tooken out just feels so Unsatisfying that they don't get to live through their suffering. Not to be Statistic. But to mainly just live with the fact that they lost & that there's nothing that they can do about that to actually have that sink inside their head is something that I consider to be truly satisfying for when certain villains have that permanently happen to them. 😅 However, there are very few exceptions to that. Cuz the only one that practically wouldn't work on is someone like Eggman who's continuously going through loss after loss refusing ever to accept defeat

I wonder if there's a single numbered chapter where Belle is present and she's not suffering.

Surge is best bad gal

Calling it now, Kit will be long gone by the time the heroes check up on him. He *needs* to be with Surge. The Dynamo Cage reminds me of when Metal Sonic was modified to forcefully absorb the power of Wisps in the "Rise of the Wisps" cartoon. And I'm betting that the device will cause schizophrenia. Oh man! I would so buy toys of Surge and Kit!

I would appreciate if you refrained from showing covers and solicitations several issues ahead, as even the covers tend to give spoilers from the issue before. Many readers like me want to be surprised.

This is mess up for sonic friends

I'm not sure if Starline's glove still has it's abilities, If so Surge was really dumb to burn it instead of using it.

OMG.

I think a better name for this issue would have been "Plot Convenience the story" Like here a short list of things: - Metal is stuck in a time loop to allow the Heroes to team up with Kit (no seriously Metal is supposed to be super-fast and Sonic and Belle both aren't so fast right now) - Kid just randomly waking up right now when they really need his power to save there asses - Sonic after all the things he survived this far without taking a scratch getting his ankle brocken by this crash when falling from the literal clouds didn't do anything at at least 3 different times. - There just happen to runway to a place with tons of water that Belle is also just able to easily identify as such. - Surge just so happen to randomly run into Starline's glove to let her know he is dead. Which also just so happen to be far enough away from Starline now despite falling down just 5 meters away from him to which we can't actually see Starline himself. - Surge just so happen to immerge to Cubot who can tell her what the stuff is. - She just so happens to run into a machine that can massively power her up. A few contrivances are one thing but man that are a lot and the more there are the deeper all of them cut into the story. Like I know usually does a story need at least 1 or 2 of them to start up but these are to many especially as they only serve to artificially speed up the story. Cut this into 2 different issues to have the time for Surge to actually use her brain to find a tool to power herself up and so show how they managed to subdue Metal Sonic and it would already be a lot better. It feels like the writers just wants to get to the next major story beat and abuses contrivances and conveniences to get to this point earlier which happens at the expense of both the story and the characters. But there is still a few more: - The skipped Metal Sonic fight is one hell of a copout given how strong Metal is and how Surge and Kit on their own were crushed by Metal in Imposter Syndrom 4 and could only win by combining their powers. - Given how obsessed Kit is with Surge and how explosiv he was about Surge getting to kill Sonic in issue 50 do I feel like he is way too quickly helping the heroes and not showing nearly enough concern for Surge (given that she obviously failed in Killing Sonic so far) (this is what I mend when I said rushing all of these story beats also hurt the characters) - All the other badniks that aren't Metal Sonic from the end if Issue 51 that surrounded our heroes just have randomly disappeared.

I seriously hope Belle regrets repairing Metal Sonic. I also hope Sonic doesn't try to convince her that it wasn't her fault; and I seriously hope he fails to convince her. Repairing Metal Sonic has done nothing but bring about disaster; it's high past time they both realize no good comes of showing compassion to a sentient nuclear warhead like Metal Sonic!

I’m worried about Bell. Really hope she doesn’t give up fixing things after her experience with Metal Sonic.
