IDW Sonic The Hedgehog #58 | A Comic Review by Megabeatman 

The giant fake chaos emeralds made me remember the fake emeralds the metarex made in the sonic x anime.

Tails smirk on Sonic and Amy was priceless . Amy carried a giant hammer was awesome . Tangle and whisper have a heart to heart is wholesome, including lanolin . Amazing to see silver and blaze are back . I give this comic a 10/10

The situation the New Diamond Cutters are in is similar to the Transformers Prime episode: Shadow Zone. In that episode the 3 human friends off the Autobots (Jack, Miko and Raph) end up stuck in a Shadow dimension were they can see/hear everyone in the Normal dimension, but no one can see/hear them.

This new arc is really getting interesting with all three teams making a move on Eggmans new base, I wonder how all three groups will work together to beat this cite and whatever secrets it is hiding in the works for them. Nice seeing all the fight scene with Sonic and his team that was awesome.

The Shadow Androids haven't been seen since the Shadow The hedgehog game where they showed up in only 2 stages.

I've been waiting for the Shadow Androids to make an appearance ever since the Tangle and Whisper mini-series. When we learned what happened to Whisper's old team I've expected a confrontation between Whisper and Shadow against his dopplegangers.

5:57 Tangle's face... for some reason it looks funny to me

That point about the shadow androids is something I failed to consider. Sega. Can you stop giving Whisper reminders of her trauma FOR 5 MINUTES?!

I love Tangle and Whisper, they’re very good friends, and action never gets old.

Other then the fact that the Restoration and the Diamond Cutters are nods to the teams of freedom fighters from the "1993 Sonic Saturday Mornings Animated Television Series" (SatAM) and the "Sonic Archie Comic Series" that were partially based by that series; I kind of think that "Eggpirial City" is a nod on the "Nanite City" from the Archie Comics.

3:35 - on note on time travel, can we PLEASE get an explanation of how Silver time travels in the current era? He said it can't be done willy nilly so through what method? Is he still using chaos emeralds? TELL US COME ONE!

With Shadow's mandates loosen up a bit, I am also wondering what Shadow role is going to be.

The Diamond Cutters ending panel gives me strong Metal Gear vibes

1) The districts are different colors of the Chaos Emeralds (Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Cyan and Red. Silver Emerald I haven't seen yet.) 2) The Fake Emeralds remind me of Sonic Adventure 2 (since Tails' "The same wavelength and properties" dialog is from that game and he created the Fake Yellow Emerald that Sonic used to escape the exploding capsule) and Sonic X (because SA2 was adapted in Season 2 and the Season 3 villains: The Metarex, created their own fake emeralds.)

12:46 Dr. Eggman: I'm going to make my own fake Chaos Emeralds, with blackjack and hookers! (I had to... I just had to hahahaxD)

I honestly thought you would skip over Amy crushing an Egg Hammer with its own hammer. Sonic's right though, she's awesome! There was speculation that Lanolin would be bad news at some point. I'm glad the writers didn't go down that route. She's grown on me and I wouldn't mind seeing more of her, in and out of the comics.

Will Amy be a Super Smash Bro character now. I think we just saw her final smash move using the giant eggbot hammer. Can't let sonic have all the fun being solo especially this issue that Sonic is build up the idea that having a team is more helpful to take on challenges than being solo (Sonic Frontiers).

The issue with the most goofy faces indeed 😂😂

I get the feeling the part of the city that represents the seventh emerald is gonna be plot relevant later on.

Good review. Like the little references added to make the story feel more wider

4:00 a separate dimensional plane

The giant fake chaos emeralds kind of look like spacegodzilla’s energy crystals

Uh oh... I just realized something. One of the covers for the next issue has Shadow fighting the Shadow Androids. If they really show up in this arc, Whisper might just fly off the handle... [Edit: I wrote this before finishing the video. 😑]

OK, how many of my fellow starting customizers now wants to make Amy rose God of Thunder? I mean we all know Amy loves her hammers and what better hammer than Mjölnir. (don't worry I think they'll be allowed to get away with the shipping once Sonic three comes out, after all Sega is gonna have to eventually do some minor romance in that one considering is gonna be very much based off of a spy film. Which is a touch of Star Wars. By the way how many of us are still waiting for the knuckles miniseries?)

I don't think Eggperial City having six sections is a reference to sonic 1 but shows that eggman couldn't create a fake of one of the emeralds. During the previous annual we saw the white chaos emerald during one of its plots lines where it ended up in Rouge's position and Eggperial City has all emerald colors except white. It could be eggman had collected six of the seven emeralds to create the fakes and power the City though it's still incomplete. And with team dark joining the fight this could be his opportunity to get the last one.

When Sonic and Shadow get to Eggman, things are gonna be heated.

Hm, interesting, I say you covered this Issue very well, So, the Shadow Androids are going to make a return, huh? How very interesting, if that’s the case, i wonder how they are going to deal with it, I guess we’ll just have to see, can’t wait for your Cover of Issue #59. But in the meantime, how do you think the Next Issue going to go? I am curious.

Sonic and the gang: we’re all gonna be safe, and we’re all gonna have a great time 🎵😊 Shadow: *edgy blows something up directed by Michael bay in the distance* Sonic: what in the jesus christ was that 😀

Hey Mega got a quick question for you which Sonic is the best Sonic the IDW or the Archie comics series?

Please do a video giving your thoughts on Sonic Prime Season 1.

14:08 - 14:18 Challenge Accepted! In 7 days, you'll see!

I’m early this time!

If the Freedom Fighters (Sally Acorn included) come to IDW Sonic, they should team up with the new Diamond Cutters team!

Correction, Next time we’ll find out why Team Dark wasn’t here earlier.

Small and not as important but sonic seems to finally going to stop doing things solo

10:43 yes I know, I'm one of those I even did a whole whispangle thing in the Sega heroes game before it died

Pretzel

This issue sure was something. Not bad but a bit questionable at parts. A quick cut between the 2 story's Neo Diamond Cutters: On one hand was this absolutely a rushed story. Whisper suddenly realizing the error of her way felt unearned, Tangle just having to give a minor pep talk to have Lanolin back on her feed also seems to happen way to fast. Which is kind of sad as Whisper having to come to therms with how wrong her actions were and how hurtful they were to her new friends due to fear and Lanolin having to struggle with her attempt to be as strong as the other heroes (Especially Amy as she herself build herself up from normality with pure effort and determination) could both have made for interesting stories on there own. On the other hand am I also just glad that its not stretched out again for what feels like ever like it was the case with Belle (over 20 consecutive appearances in main line issues with little progress) or Sonic's morality. Also on a personal note do I have an issue with how Tangle keeps being the character to inspire positive change in other characters while the game cast that used to due this (Sonic, Amy and Cream) get like nothing in that direction. Team Game cast: The so far overall better paced one of the 2 stories despite us seemingly skipping an unknown amount of time assume the reinforcements didn't just teleport in. Also the giant fake emeralds are than properly more like oversized Chaos Drives. Speaking about them and teleportation why are the heroes even running to the center there is a giant Chaos energy crystal and at least one of the guys here can invoke Chaos control with up 2 to more of them possible also being able to do so going off Sonic 06. So just teleport to the tower its not gonna be any faster and saver than that (and for that matter couldn't Sonic use that to go save the other team too?) I so hope the comics are allowed to write Shadow properly again because this stupid hedgehog based on what Sega allows has the power to single handily tank the entire story.

New vidoe

Everybody talks about how much they like Tangle and Whisper as friends, but the thing is there isn't much to them as friends or whatever else you want to infer. Nobody ever elaborates. Their dynamic is rather dry and basic. Just shy girl and extroverted girl. We don't really see what makes them such good friends in a medium that's built to allow this kinda thing action series or not. I believe people only like the idea of them when they say they like them. Like, aside from being fellow child soldiers/war buddies(?) what connects these two? They've only known each other for like a month or something at most and spent a lot time apart between that. Like what are their hobbies and interests? We got to know a tiny bit about Tangle that doesn't make its why back in the main comic like her favorite eats or her grooming habits. Is Whisper a soldier 24/7? Like what if we saw her Sleep with her gun and eat with her gun due to her paranoia of Mimic coming after her or it just a habit in general from her time with the Diamond Cutters? Maybe she only know how to be a soldier? We have had teases of it (like asking for orders from Amy that one time ), but it is never taken far enough. If the diamond cutters are like her family was she adopted by them explaining her awkwardness in social situations or was she always this way? Or what if she had exclusive knowledge on weapons and tactics of war. Maybe mention the worst cause scenarios either to be unintentionally or intentionally pessimistic disposition for dark humor (within kid friendly parameters of course). The one thing that's never brought up again since Battle for Angel Island is that maybe she likes to tell jokes, so maybe she has a sense of humor, but that's it. This problem plagues the previous Diamond Cutters, too. The comic failed to give them any real personalities other than generic soldiers to make it obvious they were just written to die for Whisper's angst, so when Whisper mentions that they'd be honored for her new team to take on the name I can only take Whisper's word for it. This is why I think the comics could do well to have more issues with multiple smaller stories or back up issues to the main one for smaller stakes, minor villains, little flashbacks or some social event in the world of Sonic at least between arcs or for the characters that aren't participating in said arc. But they keep stuffing anything like that in annuals or entire separate issues! Like, Bruh, who thinks that's a good idea to do ALL the time...?

As much as you want to hate her? N mo way. She can be ignorant but she needs to like this. Childlike emotional peppy, is what is needed to thoose that moving on Shipping? Does everything had to be that way? I just need friend for friend And rather quick then slow conclusion

hi

Um, Whisper? Three things: 1. Even GOOD friends always have room to become BETTER friends. 2. It wasn't just one person who took your friends; it was two. Mimic led them into a trap, but Eggman was the one who set and sprang it. I understand that Mimic was the traitor, but let's not also lose sight of the greater threat. 3. I wouldn't trust Belle if I were you; she was willing to repair Eggman's greatest weapon, her very antithesis! Because of her, Sonic's leg got hurt; he, she, and Tails almost got killed; and she doesn't regret a thing except for the fact that Metal Sonic thanked her with a smack in the face, which she deserved for her unapologetic treachery!

I prefer Tangle and Whisper be sister bond friends. Adding lesbian couples will turn off the readers as they want to escape the real world of all wokeness. Plus IDW is failing because of it so the shipping wont save it.

so much sonic ship get the cannons get the icebergs leave no ship live ☠️
