IDW Sonic The Hedgehog #67 | A Comic Review by Megabeatman 

Unless the Restoration figure out that Clutch's villain team are manipulating them for their down fall, they are doomed to loose the Restoration. As for Rough and Tumble, I think Clutch actually didn't fire them and instead sent them to distract the Rabbit family because Cream is also awear that he is evil. R&T probably thought they could rob a few places while they were out and didn't know where Cream lived so they found her by chance.

As much as it pains be to say it, Silver and Blaze did not hold hands in the comic, I still supported them as a couple and love the fact that they get pair up as a duo

In terms of the Rough and Tumble "goof" you mentioned there is a way to explain it. The comic never outright states that they where fired, just that they've fallen onto hard times. They could have just been doing there own independent mission while off-duty from clutch. They did essentially the same thing in the 2019 annual. it's set between issues 12 and 13 when their working for Eggman. yet the skunk brothers brake into the Lost Pyramid of Doctor Eggman for it's richies. So it's not uncommon for them to do there own thing in the downtime they have between doing missions for there bosses.

I have speculated that Amy will be the one to "redeem" Surge. Given her track record of sympathizing with misguided individuals and not thinking twice about helping someone in need, this prediction may come true. Seeing all three imposters together and the fact that Mimic has tentacle dreadlocks makes me realize who's imposter he might become. Personally I would've liked another glitch character, but let's see where this goes. Also, I would like to see Amy get a glitch imposter as well.

did he say that Mimic's Duo appearance looks somewhat like Slinger the Ocelot but miscoloured, and it's because of Mimic retaining the memory of his former comrade? maybe if Whisper notices this, she'll get second suspicions of him

15:17 Blaze's hands are behind her back in that panel.

Cool to see Silver and Blaze again I can see Lanolin realized she is wrong about Silver once Mimic is exposed and she apologizes and wants to make it up to him. I can see her asking Silver if she wants to join the the Restoration or the Diamond Cutters; however, Silver turns them down and he's already part of a great team with Sonic and his friends and got a great partner, Blaze.

This panel at 5:18 says a thousand words.😂 Bravo to IDW.

It seems Clutch is really starting to build his war chest. He's got a shape-shifting mercenary, two muscle-headed bruisers, and a pair of superpower cyborgs who came very close to killing Sonic and Tails on his payroll. I'm really curious as to where this arc is headed, because it's very intriguing so far.

I'm already calling the fact that Mimic will double cross Surge and Kit like how he did his last two teams. Sure, Starline was gonna do it first, but Mimic still backstabbed Zavok

I find it quite the interesting situation for Whisper because she hates Mimic more but does know that Surge is the bigger threat. So question is when it hits the fan who does Whisper go after?

Personally, I love Surge's dynamic with the heroes this issue. Also, Clutch is really building up to be the next big villain, eh? Let's see whether they'll Starline him, too, or whether he'll survive Issue 100.

With each issue I read surge keeps reminding of juri from street fighter

I hate to "well actually" you but Blaze and Silver were not holding hands, in fact Blaze had both her hands behind her back

I'm a little surprised Silver STILL with the restoration. Considering the incident last time that got him kicked out of the diamond cutters and possibly the restoration as well. I would have thought after he ran to Blaze again, he would have actually stay away from the restoration, get his mind off the subject of Mimic, and improve on his skills.

When Duo reveals his identity: (Duo turns around to reveal his eyes are black with white pupils. Whisper is shocked to realize who it is) Mimic: Remember me Whisper?! When I killed the Diamond Cutters, I talked... JUST... LIKE... THIIIIS!!!!

Dude surge could change maybe... Awesome comic reviews

Clutch basically assembled the Sonic version of the Sinister Six: Clutch himself is pretty much Kingpin Mimic is Chameleon Surge is Shocker/Electro Kit is a mix of Doc Oc and Hydro Man And Rough & Tumble are... Rhino and Scorpion, I guess?

I do get Sonic’s comparison to Omega and Gemerl but their cases are different. With Omega Eggman kept him in a secret location to guard the unconcious Shadow which led to Omega's hatred and resentment toward his creator seeing that Eggman wasted his potential which is why he joins the good side. And with Gemerl it's because Tails reprogrammed him after Sonic and Eggman defeated him in Sonic Advance 3. Surge and Kit are different cases.

I dont think Silver and Blaze were holding hands @ 5:16 . Though I would have loved that 😭

Here an interesting theory: Clutch might be related to surge given their fur color and and invert look of their eyes. Plus having clutch give up on surge just to make cash would be an interesting yet making him just as bad as starline. Though i doubt tbey would go that route... Right?

Technically Sonic has made reference to 06 events, which silver didn't remember, and crisis city appeared in generations distorted timeline. It's possible he's the only one who remembers.

You know what would be a cool spinoff story, if Sonic never held back. Like how in Spiderman 3, and yes I do like Spiderman 3 I have to admit it wasn’t a bad movie, I just found it really entertaining and kinda dumb but that’s what I enjoy about. But it would be crazy to see if Sonic never held back against his enemies, and to see how his friends and enemies would think of him when they see a different Sonic. A broken Sonic after the Metal virus, a Sonic that always use all of his power, it would be interesting to see what would happen to Eggman, Surge and Kit, and Starline before he died. Well if anyone see’s my ramblings welp, I hope you enjoyed it.

Because of just take the one piece route like saving Surge and Kitsunami end of chapter reveal for a later chapter

I was surprised that I liked this comic. I was not a fan of Surge and Kit after the last arc. Maybe it's because the comic finished up the "feel sad for Surge and Kit" saga. Now Surge and Kit feel like genuine bad guy, and I like it a lot. I also like how Sonic is portrayed here. He gives people a second chance, but that doesn't mean he trust them. And the light little threat he throws back at Surge is nice. I'll had to double-check the comic because it felt like so much was put in this one single issue. But it didn't feel crammed either

Hey, I'm thinking about doing a sonic version of justice league gods and monsters. I figured I'd use shadow and blaze as the superman and wonder woman, but I'm having trouble figuring out which sonic character would be the batman of the story. Thoughts?

Surge doesn't want a new life. She just wants her old one back. That's what nobody understands.

I have an idea of what they could do with durge and kit. Surge after spending time with others of the main cast abd some background characters she could start to enjoy her time and i could see her trying to out hero sonic at times. Kinda like a sonic to sonic. And i can imagen that kit becomes a shadow to tails. Aka shadow and sonic but kit and tails. But when it all gose down i can see surge having a brakedown and not wanting to hurt the people she has met and or not knowing who to trust and just freezing in place. I can imagen sonic or someone seeing this and seeing surge as a kid who just needs a good role model. But kit and mimick doing the plan without problems. I could imagen a plot point where surge has to choose her pas or her future. Learn who she was but close the door for a better future or let go of her pass so she can have a bright future.

Hope you review the Sonic Winter Jam issue sometime in a few days!

I don't know if it's just me but In my mind Clutch has the voice of Cedric the Entertainer playing a pimp

Hm, things are certainly getting interesting now, doesn’t it? So, i guess the Misadventures Arc is still ongoing and a Hiatus, huh? Okay, sure, that’s fair, that’s probably a good way to gather hype, Also, a Mini-Series set at the Classic Era, huh? I wonder what that will be about? Anyway, a few things to unpack here: First: I initially thought that once Surge would awake up after what happened, she was going to go straight back to plotting another scheme or something, but I guess Surge and Kit has just been chilling out at, what I guess counts as, their old home this entire time and just trying to figure out what to do with themselves, granted I had a feeling that could’ve been the case too, but I didn’t really know how else they could’ve been reintroduced. Second: i thought Clutch fired the Skunk Brothers and Based on that little short flashback Clutch had about doing a meeting with Jewel, i would assume then that that particular meeting with Surge and Kit happened after him firing them, so i guess he rehired them? Huh, I guess Sonic isn’t the only who’s keen on Second Chances. Third: and most of all, it appears that Surge and Kit’s sudden appearance really were due to them joining Clutch in his schemes, but due to more sympathetic reasons than I was expecting, it seems like they still would very much like to know more about their past, so in that sense it’s understandable why they went along with it, the Question is still though: Will including them, really go as well as Clutch seem to think or will it backfire as maybe his worst blunder in his life? Anyway, on another note on that, I do find it really interesting, that their little flashback at beginning of the Issue, started off with them pretty much complaining about their living condition, I can’t help but to think that tiny detail could be important later on, Though, I have been saying they, but it’s mostly, if not only, been Surge who has been doing the complaining and the one who showed any interest in what Clutch could potentially know about them, among other things, while Kit has really just been moving along, which is pretty much the usual for I guess, but still we haven’t gotten anything about his opinions throughout this , with the exception that he apparently has it out for Tails now, I guess we’ll see how that pans out. By the way, I didn’t think much of it initially, but after some thought, does anyone else feel like that Surge seems a little too …hm, mellow(?) in comparison to last time we saw her? I mean, she was such a ball of emotions before, had problem whatsoever with showing all the hatred and aggression she had, but now it feels like all of that has just vanished, now the reason why I am pointing this out, is not necessarily because of the hatred she had, but due to how she got it, She was conditioned, practically programmed into her to hate and destroy Sonic and I feel like something like that probably is at least a little harder to get over than just a genuine hatred, so seeing her now, seemingly being so relaxed, especially while the guy who was the target of her hate being right next to her, i can’t help but to wonder, why? Speaking of which, on top of that, with another thing i didn’t think much of initially, around the moment when Clutch revealed that he might know something about Surge and Kitsunami, Surge apparently seemed to realize that before he said anything and when she did, she looked behind her for some reason, now that could potentially not mean anything, but still why would realizing that there’s someone who might know something, make her look over her shoulder? Once again, I can’t help but to wonder, why? Well, regardless, I guess we’ll find out in the coming Issues, it’s going to be very interesting to see how this Arc will play out from here, but in the meantime, what is any of yours’ current Theories so far about how this Arc might play out? I would like to know. Anyway, until then, see you in the Next Issue.

When clutch takes over, what will his reaction be when he finds out scrapnik island exists

I have a feeling that Clutch might lie to Surge and Kit about what he knows. And my only reason is that Clutch runs a business that is shady in nature. He needs people that could follow his every biting. So what else would Clutch do? He would lie about their past just to keep them in line. By the way, this same scenario happened to Shadow in Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow wanted answers about his past well he had amnesia from that fall from earth after SA2. Shadow confronted Eggman about his memories. Eggman lied to Shadow and claimed that "he had no past." But at the end of Shadow the Hedgehog, Eggman reveled he was lying to him all this time and said that he was the real Shadow. So I don't know about you, but I don't trust Clutch for a second. Even if he wasn't lying about their past, I still don't think he'll be honest about the truth.

Pretty sure they will loose because of some characters with Sega Plot Armor and that Sonic can no longer loose.

Here's hoping Mimic dies in the scuffle after Clutch gives the order!

Never played the console version of Sonic Forces, but the mobile game is actually pretty fun, and I did get Surge after three days of playing.

Also, MegaBeatMan, don't forget that asking Ian is still an option

Silver and Blaze weren't holding hands if you look closely at the picture and Sonic also invited Blaze to dinner a couple of issues earlier, so I don't really see the shipping there.

Someone please tell me I'm not the only one who looks at tangled with her sucker in her mouth? And I instantly think of 4kids sanji from one piece? You gotta keep dreaming tangled! Guy go go go! Gotta keep dreaming lanolin, gotta keep dreaming and whisper you gotta go down the grand line, searching for all you're going on time! Rocking with the with Wispins all the time you gotta build the fearing rhyme! [Speaking of shipping I already did a fan story talking about people probably going to start shipping Clutch with Crystal! I just hope Clutch starts going a little more David then lex? After all revenge is a poor man's game?]

Well I can predict that clutch will betray surge and kit when he gets what he wants And Amy would give surge and kit to reflect on their actions and see the errors of their ways And as mimic well I definitely see him dipping out when clutch needs him the most when he's plan backfired

What are the chances once she finds out if Clutch is her relative and sold her to Starline, she will dethrone him so fast that she takes control of his base with Kit in tech control?

I do believe the restoration will be destroyed/taken over, being that Frontiers takes places sometime in the future after the current point in the IDW comics, there is not a single mention of the Restoration anywhere in Frontiers, a game known to make a lot of little specific references, to the comics included, i suspect something really bad happened to the point where the cast would rather not bring it up. And the comics are now building up to that moment. It's possible that could be averted but I think that hinges entirely on Surge going against Clutch or not, if she really does warm up to sonic and co, she will have to contend with Kit who seems absolutely dead set on killing Tails, as he seems to take things much more personally than Surge did, it would be a moment of betrayal for him and I feel like it would break him. Better than the last issue that concerned this plotline, as it doesn't feel like they wrote the characters with -100 IQ points to make Mimic's subterfuge work. Still they need to give Lanolin some redeeming qualities back, Evan's writing of her ran counter to her arc that introduced her again in the egg city arc, #64 made her out to be a grizzled, stern veteran even though shes actually the least experienced of all of them and was self professed newbie.

Surge may have a change of heart and look at Sonics face hes up to something.

The Storm is about to hit when it does hits its not gonna be pretty, Sonic already warn Surge not to do anything when she dose, girl better be ready to catch these hands

I’d love to see this kind of action come back and really whoop the villain’s in their butts. When Sonic makes a threat (similar to “You better hope you can run faster than me” to the Babylon Rogues in Archie), he’s scary as heck. So, I hope that he reminds the villains just how powerful he and his friends are. I’m also a little worried that when Mimic is revealed, Whisper is going to be so ticked off she leaves everyone behind and goes back to being a Lone Wolf for a bit. That would make me so upset.

Poor li’l fennic.

3:28 4:10. It be a surprise and interesting for Surge if she somehow found out about Sonic past actions of possible murder or life confinement. When he and his friends try to kill Chaos before they know his full backstory. The black arms invasion where Sonic and his allies fought the black arms and possibly killed some soldiers. Also, the storybook series where Sonic puts Erazor Djinn in a lamb forever and doesn't mind regicide against King Arthur Without knowing he was a fake. If Sonic's friends don't question him or themselves on why they allow Eggman to live, and confine or kill other villains. Like Rough and Tumble who are less dangerous than Eggman. She might think Sonic and his friends are hypocritical false heroes who continue the cycle and conflicts that they have with Eggman regardless of how many more deaths or victims he and his followers are responsible for. After all sonic in the black knight said, "Guess I can't be the hero every time". Or ."I already told you, I don't mind playing the bad guy every once in a while." Why not give Eggman some harsh justice if he is extremely dangerous.

15:27 it already did it😂🎉

Hey could you review Archie Sonic online it's a great comic. And I think it'll be worth your time

It's really annoying that Sega and IDW keep starting some really great storylines and take months to continue them.

Is Sonic asking Amy out?

For what we know Starline faked his death

2:37 And people say Knuckles is the gullible one.

Just look at that; Lanolin BLINDLY trusts Amy as if she was a flawless leader, even at Amy's opposition. If THAT doesn't say Lanolin is both biased AND stupid, I don't know WHAT does. The Restoration was FAILING under Amy's leadership! On the plus side, Amy's probably the one who convinced Lanolin to let Silver stay.

Silver and blaze weren’t holding hands
