I love all the art featured at the end in this issue! They don’t usually show Evan Stanley’s art, but I do love her art! Same with Kim! Both of their art are amazing. Nathalie Fourdraine’s will always take the cake though.
Also—Wow. Is Whisper suggesting that the Phantom Rider at the current race was not Sonic? And Surge is FINALLY deciding to start straying away from the path of evil and actually wants to be good? And we see Clutch lose his temper? Next issue is gonna be interesting!!!
Love that the rogues have the absolute utmost faith in Sonic to the point of deducing that no matter who Sonic is against they must be the bad guys…. meanwhile the diamond cutters…..
the diamond cutters are new with sonic, while the rogues have a looooong history with him. they know eachtoher for a long time, i think that it’s even before the comics begin, while the diamond cutters only get together and meet sonic in like issue 40-50 or something
Unfortunately, I also have school on that day too, but I guess it’s just whatever. Glad that I can at least enjoy Issue #72 once I am finished with the school day.
Just have to say… THIS ISSUE WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!! Tangle and Whisper going on a mission without the others is AMAZING! Plus, Surge and Kit going on their way to be good guys is AMAZING!!
I like the story! And I hope it doesn’t end anytime soon because I like the infiltration theme of Clean Sweep Inc. and I like Mimic! Especially when he has a logical task where he can do where he’s best at.
Especially because there was suppsoed to have a second Tangle n Whisper mini series but Evan and Ian didn’t liked because would eventually led Tangle being O.O.C Emotionally manipulating Whisper and all that.
I’m confused. Issue 74 synopsis says everyone is trying to find out the Phantom Rider’s identity so that means that everyone that isn’t Sonic is not using their brain.
Dude chill. It’s ok for Awesome Pixel to say that he think she’s hot. It’s just what he thought of her. Boys can like girls, it’s normal. But seriously Awesome Pixel what the heck. 😐😓
The event of the Clean Sweepstakes in this party is actually a reference to Sonic Free Riders. The Bowling Strike is the ability to attack someone with a bowling ball
I don’t get why some people hate Lanolin? Just because she’s serving the story instead of the main characters, that doesn’t mean she’s bad in any way. She doesn’t have to cater to our main protagonists all the time, and that’s fine. It’s better that she serves the story and not the characters we like. It’s refreshing, honestly.
lanolin kinda just exists to be obstructive and make bad decisions and that’s the big thing for me
she’s supposed to be on the good guy side of things but everything she does works against them
her apparently trusting rando new guy duo more than tangle and whisper and silver is also wack
I guess everything turned different when lanolin lost the shine in her eyes
She once said she did this to make sure everyone is not hopeless… and that’s a big deal
Pretty sure it’s b’cus he was distracted and thinking about other stuff + Mimic is an assassin,no surprise he knows how to be quiet to sneak on someone
W Comic The orange phantom rider is mimic bc he’s holding duo’s scarf and I have proof. When Mimic reveals Sonic’s identity, the other phantom rider is gone.
Issue 72 Release Date
28th August 2024
Synopsis
Being the Phantom Rider isn’t easy, but there’s no rest for the wicked. Sonic is caught in a literal perfect storm of a traffic jam, all while he’s pursued by the relentless Jet the Hawk! Perhaps an unexpected meeting—and reveal— will help raise his spirits? Meanwhile, aboard the Restoration’s ship, Tails and Amy’s luck finally runs out!
I mean, there’s also another way more obvious hint: The Scarf-wearing Phantom Rider has Duo’s Extreme Gear. He also says “one down” without ever actually having fought Duo.
Rigth cause he doesn’t got a orange visor instead of red (proved further by the giant banner showing Sonic’s disguise with red visor when Lanolin is show glaring) as well as lacking the transparent scarf AND the Extreme gear instead of Eggstreme gear.
evan stanley write an actual surge and kit redemption arc that isn’t reversed by the end and my life is yours
that being said who the hell is behind the second rider? the implication seems to be that it’s a robot and not mimic
i’m gonna be real i read this thing on 3 hours of sleep i did not notice they even had different extreme gear lol
looking at it for more than 2 seconds yeah that’s obviously mimic
I may have ruined my sleep schedule for this series, but that damn FORTH chaos emerald, was it worth it.
Belle has breached her containment, Misty Spires is now a place that exists that’s honestly pretty cool, Mimic’s doing what he does best by mimicking the phantom rider and being pretty brutal, everyone important gets into a brawl, Sonic gets sneak attacked by Mimic and makes a pretty adorable face while getting said sneak attacked, everyone (except lanolin) sees that Sonic has indeed committed crimes and are very shocked by that information (especially tangle), the babylon rouges figure out the plot, Surge and Kit start their second character arcs (this time without the trauma), Whisper and Tangle. …Need I say more? And most importantly, Clutch dropped the words “half-cocked.”
Although I was disappointed that there wasn’t as much action as I was expecting, this issue was still pretty dang good. I especially can’t wait for the next issue if it has a cover like THAT. See you guys ‘til then!

Anyone else notice the mother with the kid is the Conductor’s Wife from The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog?
Parry
I noticed that too! I was so happy to see that character in the comic.
DripBanana
So does this mean The Murder Of Sonic The Hedgehog is actually canon now?!
DripBanana
She and The Conductor were also present in Winter Jam on one of eggman’s many screens

Issue #75 should be the last chapter of this story.
average sonic enjoyer
anyone else notice that surge and kit never mentioned sonic despite despite seeing him get exposed with everyone else
Cobaz
waaaaaaaait

Sonic looked like evil Sonic with the sunglasses
Lou'schocochao_14
U mean scourge?
Lou'schocochao_14
mean scourge?
Kallico_Kat
Anyone else notice the direction of the arrow on Surges suit changing between the panel where Kit asks if shes angry and the next time she appears?
I think its a mistake but both versions look good anyway hehe
doc
it’s just occurred to me that Sonic hasn’t seen him for this issue
Revali9766568
I just want the final battle to happen already with (hopefully) everybody.
Ashes the hedghog
I have a feeling that surge and kit will be getting another mini-series soon
Awesome Pixel
That would be so unfair if they focus another miniseries on the same set of characters
Randal
Especially because there was suppsoed to have a second Tangle n Whisper mini series but Evan and Ian didn’t liked because would eventually led Tangle being O.O.C Emotionally manipulating Whisper and all that.

I think they mean the “second” phantom rider. The one Whisper saw with a different ex gear.
Awesome Pixel
The girl that has a ring on her neck is pretty hot 😍😍😍😍😍😍
JumpinSpiralLemur07
dude.
Infinte King
And who would that be that you so call is hot ?
Awesome Pixel
The page where Kit asks Surge where she’s angry then look to your left near that panel
JumpinSpiralLemur07
she looks cool but I wouldn’t say hot CAUSE I’M A GIRL!!
Awesome Pixel
Ik, btw you should chat on forums. We can use the extra people
Awesome Pixel
If I was an animal in Sonic’s world, I would go for her immediately

Not if I have anything to say about AP, I call dibs already.

Lol, if it annoys you. I like her design. Seriously when have you seen an oc have a ring around her neck?

Ok I gotta admit she looks cool. And also I’ve never seen an oc like her…

I love her honestly. She’s been kinda confusing in the series as a whole though, she’s been through a lot of changes.
Randal
Because she is acting like that one work colleague which is like Dwight Schrute of the workplace etc.

…ah.

Sonic was extremely lucky that Mimic isn’t Cell in that panel, otherwise he’d be a goner and sliding down a fate worse than death.
Awesome Pixel
Sonic is fast. He can use his ears to sense it then dodge
Randal
Then we can chalk it up to lazy writing cause Mimic DID get the drop on him.
Awesome Pixel
True

Pretty sure it’s b’cus he was distracted and thinking about other stuff + Mimic is an assassin,no surprise he knows how to be quiet to sneak on someone

He gonna blow up eventually
Infinte King
Something tells me that they are going to expose duo identity in next issue.Who else thinks so ?
JumpinSpiralLemur07
MEEEEEEEEEE!
Awesome Pixel
I’d say Issue 73 bc it says that Surge and Kit have a plan and it might involve exposing Mimic
Infinte King
True point

I thought so when Jewel gave that suspicious look in the last issue

which proves my point that Duo is the second phantom rider.Thank for bringing the evidence in Awesome Pixel nice work.

Thanks

lanolin is sus
Trumpet Man
the orange phantom rider has a thing on his neck/back similar to duo’s scarf
Ibukun
did you notice that mimic gear is the exact same as the second phantom rider it that hard to spot out
Randal
Rigth cause he doesn’t got a orange visor instead of red (proved further by the giant banner showing Sonic’s disguise with red visor when Lanolin is show glaring) as well as lacking the transparent scarf AND the Extreme gear instead of Eggstreme gear.

Such a good issue, I love how they’re working with Surge and Kit. Really good

evan stanley write an actual surge and kit redemption arc that isn’t reversed by the end and my life is yours
that being said who the hell is behind the second rider? the implication seems to be that it’s a robot and not mimic
Cirom
It’s totally Mimic. Look at Mimic’s Extreme Gear compared to the Scarf Phantom Rider’s, they’re the same
satsujinki
i’m gonna be real i read this thing on 3 hours of sleep i did not notice they even had different extreme gear lol
looking at it for more than 2 seconds yeah that’s obviously mimic

THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD ISSUE GOOD AAAARGHH plz let surge and kit not be traumatized for the 1000th time😭 and tangle and whisper are adorable dudee
