I have a cool idea/theory for Mimic. So, you know how the OG Diamond Cutters each had Wisps that loosely matched their color? Mimic had the Blue Cube; however, his own appearance and personality would be more befitting with the Nega Wisps, Void and Frenzy. So, what if Mimic later acquires a new Wispon that uses those Wisps; whether they take a liking to his dark heart, or they were captured and corrupted against their will. And he would use that in his final battle with the Diamond Cutters.
energon
i have a cousin who is also a fan of sonic, but he says that the sonic comics are bad mainly because nonoe(exept skrapnik island) have a moral/theme/lesson
Baron_desmodus
i´d say that the over all comic has moral themes and lessons.
The sonic franchise as a whole has a theme of nature vs industrialism.
it aint a fluke that DR Eggman is the sole or primary human and he is the badguy and his dream is of industrial complex themepark with nothing but pollution and robots
Ashes the hedgehog
The games dont exactly have morals either. well not all of them
Baron_desmodus
the over all theme of the original games is natrualism vs industrialism, and that is a theme that has often popped up in games where Eggman is the main antagonist.
Eggmans ideal world is a mechanised industrial complex world with a theme park flair and where all are robots and free will is non existence.
The Tv show Sonic prime shows eggmans vision with new Yoke city

Goofy Doom
Imo, I think the Sonic idw comics should take a different route next arc, more like the games and a frontiers kind of Sonic.
JumpinSpiralLemur07
Does anyone else see the ghosts of the future cameos Evan Stanley puts in?
CaramelToastPancake
Issue #75 was a FANTASTIC way to conclude the Phantom Rider Arc!! Amazing issue; can’t wait for what’s next! 😁
Himari the Arctic Fox
Isn’t the star symbol on the cover for the next issue from sonic forces? If so… hasn’t those stream of events come to pass?
Ashes the hedgehog
I started reading Archie sonic ever since issue 75 got delayed (TWICE). And I think people give him too much credit online. In my eyes he seems weak compared to IDW sonic.
Goofy Doom
How? He can manipulate dimensions,he’s faster,I can’t list it all so just search it up on yt

Sonic_Fan
I’m just joking around. it was, like, 2am when I put this up here. (Where I’m from.)
Fangirlsonic0214
Shadows dope too lol

Bru sonic riders looks so fun… But sonic and Amy man… They’re awesome
Dane Kusik
I wanted to ask how do you change your profile picture.
Sonic_Fan
Profile -> User settings -> Account settings -> choose a file following the instructions.
ZADHUNTER
Bro issues 75 already release
Dane Kusik
Just saying Eggman wouldn’t give Sonic gear even if Clean Sweep Inc was mocking him I’m guessing he can’t take it off and Eggman takes control of him Another Idea 🙂
Infinte King
Game Watch better say anything about this comment
energon
couldnt agree more who i assume also realy likes infinite (he’s my second favorite character)
Ashes the hedghog
Yh. Infinite deserves less hate.
Sonic_Fan
True
Dane Kusik
Come to think of it is Sonic going to jail cause of lanolin oh just imagine Sonic being illegal but his friends are trying to save him but he doesn’t want to be saved cause he know he should face justice then some mysterious person breaks him out and Sonic is being chased by some Restoration people when Amy realized its sonic so she lets him go and then Eggman can conquer the world cause Sonic can’t be seen in public. just an idea:)
AyZetto
Sonic adventure 2 all over again lol. sonic getting thrown in jail for something he didn’t tend to do.
Dane Kusik
We need Shadow to come back like 75th issue is a big deal and we need him (And Silver I guess) Also sorry if you think I mention Shadow to much it’s just that he is my favorite Sonic character.
SonicFan
He’s my favorite too. I agree 100%
energon
mine is charmy (and i dont want to hear anyone get mad at that!)
JumpinSpiralLemur07
My top 3 are Sonic, then Tangle, then Tails
Gamen Watch
I always liked Charmy, too! My favorites are the Diamond Cutters (sans Duo ’cause screw him) and Marine the Raccoon (who I really wish went with Blaze to Mobius!).
Ashes the hedgehog
My top 3 is team ’06 (Sonic, Shadow and Silver)
Sonic_Fan
If I had to pick a few favorite IDW character, It’d be Surge & Kit, followed closely by Tails, Blaze, Tangle, Whisper, and Belle. It’s so hard to pick a definate favorite, because I love them all.
Sonic_Fan
TOMMOROW IS THE DAY!! (Hopefully!)
energon
say your predictions for arc finale (and i dont want to hear your answer again gamen watch)
Gamen Watch
Duo will stab Tangle in the back as he reveals himself as Mimic. Then Issue #76 will be Tangle’s funeral as the Restoration falls apart out of sadness. Lanolin is ridden with guilt while Whisper glares at her in anger. Otherwise, Whisper shares hugs with Jewel as both cry streams of tears. There won’t even be any dialogue for the funeral, just panels of sad Mobians as their feelings communicate the story beautifully. After a small time-skip of grieving, the heroes are resolved to find the perpetrators. Even Sonic comes to the realization that he can’t keep letting villains get away after defeating them, resolved to bring Clutch and Mimic to justice.
Egghead-22
I wish thats how it would go. But really I saw the 75 leaks and uh spoiler alert.
Not reall how it would go.
Sonic_Fan
Why do you want everyone to just, die? It’s Sonic the Hedgehog…
Gamen Watch
It’s just fun to imagine what would happen if lovable characters die, and how it would affect their friends. :3
Infinte King
Game Watch bro it is not funny when you keep sending dark humor at us man you might get banned
energon
i like you for hating this inapropriate person
Gamen Watch
XD Alright, here’s a happier take on that scenario: as Silver offers comfort to Whisper, he suddenly remembers an alternate timeline where Sonic died (Sonic 2006). His spirit was still lingering in the mortal world, so they were able to revive him with the Chaos Emeralds. The heroes make it their mission to find the emeralds in the hopes they can pull off the same miracle. Lanolin joins on the mission, determined to make up for her mistake. But as it happens, Mimic and Clutch have the last emerald, leading to the epic showdown as Whisper’s eyes burn with both vengeance for her enemy and love for her friend.
They place the emeralds around Tangle as Whisper kneels beside her, relying on them to turn her thoughts into power. She expresses everything that Tangle had done for her, how she gave Whisper courage and happiness, and inspired her to keep living. She passionately begs Tangle to come back as she hugs and cries over the lemur. Then, the emeralds brim with light as Tangle returns. Lanolin and Jewel run to hug her as well, with Lanolin heavily apologizing for not believing them. Their friends throw a party, and the bond of the Diamond Cutters becomes stronger than ever.
Gamen Watch
Oh, and Surge and Kit also join the emerald hunt to prove their selves as heroes. During the party, they feel extremely proud of what they’ve done and decide to stay with the Restoration.
Infinte King
Game Watch please stop sending dark humor
JumpinSpiralLemur07
WTF????
Chicken King 👑
What is wrong with you.
Gamen Watch
I also imagine Whisper can barely pull herself out of bed for awhile. She would just see Tangle everywhere, smiling happily as she swings around the village, full of life and joyfully talking to her friends… and Whisper would start crying again and throw herself back in bed. :,(
Sonic_Fan
My prediction after e-reading 75, Mimic changes for good. At the end, he seemed to be either:
1: Covering up his “Duo” act.
2: What’s going on will have him finally get over Eggman and change for the better. What Surge said seemed to hit him hard, and the look on his face seemed a little suspicious, knowing him.
Probably just 1, tho…
Dane Kusik
Shadow should come in and beat up clutch cause he felt like it 🙂
Gamen Watch
Prediction for Issue #75: all the IDW characters will die from the crash and that’s why they won’t appear in the games. 🙂
Ashes the hedgehog
What the actual fuck is wrong with you.
Gamen Watch
Well, there’s a chance that Tangle could survive since she gets mentioned in Frontiers. But she’d probably end up as upset as Whisper with all her best friends gone.

Oh, but Tails would say, “All’s well that ends well, right?” like in Sonic Adventure, after Station Square got destroyed and millions of people died.
JumpinSpiralLemur07
Fr. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????
energon
i cam tell you dont like good fiction. also, everything after either the neo metal arc or metal virus arc happens after sonic frontiers
Gamen Watch
Then why isn’t Sage around? Lol and I certainly love these comics and all the IDW characters, but I’m not against dishing out some dark humor. 🙂
energon
because she died in the main ending (and went to being eggmans A.I. digital assistant)
Egghead-22
It actually takes place after Sonic Forces. Way before Sage was created by eggman.
Foremem
Because frontiers hasn’t happened in the comics yet. The only game that 100% for sure has happened in the middle of IDW is Team Sonic Racing, Expecting a character to appear in the comics just because the game came out the past year is not taking into consideration how comics are made, when comics are made or how messy it is to try and have a game tie in happen alongside a game release.
Gamen Watch
The only way it could work is, after they fully defeat Clutch and maybe Mimic and the heroes have some breathing room after this whole arc, they could so some sort of time skip taking place after Frontiers. Don’t think they will, but it’s the only way it could work.
energon
does anyone else think we should get a modern fang with a more serious personality (like threatening someones life to get what he wants)
ITS_ELLIE
that ending isn’t canon though, the final horizon retconned that ending, it was also proven to be canon on tails tube
energon
i think you put this on the wrong comment of mine
Ashes the hedgehog
Who else thinks SEGA forgot to inform IDW that this was the ‘year of shadow’. He hasn’t appeared in a single issue this year.
SonicFan
For real! He just vanished out of the comics. I seriously thought we were gonna get shadow IDW comic content.
energon
thats becausenone of the arcs this year were high enough stakes for him (i learned that from youtuber, and what i mean is not important enough to care about)
Ashes the hedghog
Well he could have at least gotten a mini-series or a one-shot or shown up in the 2024 annual or SOMETHING
Infinte King
perhaps they will put him in the next issue (cross your fingers)
Foremem
The current plotline was plotted out a while in advance, probably wasn’t anywhere they could fit him in.
Alex
When is #75 going to release? Wasn’t it supposed to be today?
Egghead-22
It got delayed to the 18th.
Alex
If they delay this issue again I think I’m gonna cry. Thanks for the update!
Apex75
Dang, it better be worth the wait
BaconTheDarkLord
It happens. Art and story takes time, especially when you need to make it okay for the people from SEGA looking over your shoulder.
Victory Michael
This is an absolutely superb comic series.
shadowcat
Guys! I think I know Clutch’s past identity! He was most likely a failed magician. I mean think about it . . . He said he WAS famous, and he DID know that Espio had smoke bombs not regular bombs and how they work, he knows pickpocketing, and knows how to vanish in a flash. See . . . TOTAL magician! He was giving me failed magician vibes since #48: “Chaotix in Hit the Pavement”
Desmodus
He stated that he always was a criminal mastermind but been retired for awhile and was content with it but after the white park incident he stepped back into the crime game with clean sweep INC
energon
i just randomly thought of some arcs that could work well: eggman nega arc (his ultimate return), sonic in the future arc (so sonic goes to silvers timeline), mephilis arc (he shall exist!), and a classic crossover arc (with modern sonic finaly meeting fang and trip)
Egghead-22
Uuuh how will all of this fit in the IDW?
energon
how about you think how they come into the previous arc in that order(and we finaly see silvers fixed timeline so sonic should see it)
Egghead-22
I really wish to not crush anything but…
-Eggman Nega is the descendant of Dr.Eggman, meaning that he is in the future, and not the same as Eggman in the present.
-Sonic going to the future is something I agree with if they ever decided to add Eggman Nega.
-Mephiles was Erased from history in Sonic 2006. No way he would be able to return.
-Classic crossover arc is something thats not gonna happen any time soon since that happened long time ago.
Sonic_Fan
I don’t mean to be rude or anything, but it’s Eggman NAGA.
I think.
Ashes the hedgehog
Mephiles came back in sonic x shadow generations. It can work.
Also, WHEN did they have a classic crossover.
energon
mephilis is actualy stuck in white space, so he can return if someone has the right tech
energon the fused hedgehog
is it just me, or does dr starline look like he belongs in ducktails
TailsFangirl03
it is not just you.
Sonic_Fan
Scrooge McDuck in Sonic CONFIRMED.
Egghead-22
Definitely just you.
Frontiers22_ri
I have a feeling Eggman is up to something… Sonic is a distraction for Amy & Tails, but maybe also Eggman..
Ashes the hedgehog
Yeah, that could most likely be the plot for the next arc
SonicFan
Maybe he added some mindcontrol/brainwashing device into the Phantom Rider costume? Or some kind of Robotizer (Archie’s thing is again took by IDW)
Frontiers22_ri
Yeah, I was thinking of that!
Miles2
I love IDW comics, looking forward for more new stories!
prettycooldude
I WANT SURGE TO MEET SHADOW SO BAD
energon the fused hedgehog
well i want belle and omega, i want to see how that plays out
Apex75
She’d get humbled quick
SonicFan
YES!
Sonic_Fan
I think there’s about 12 days left until #75.
