1. Surge and Kit get to experienced joy for the first time, this will impact them in later issues during this whole thing 2. Jewel seems to be getting suspicious, GOOD! 3. Jet’s jealous of Surge 4. Belle getting kidnapped makes sense, she’s a repairer so she would’ve maybe saw what was going on!
Jet is more pissed than being jealous because that’s not how he actually is This was supposed to be a victory but it feels like nothing more than a waste of time for him Because it doesn’t feel like victory for him

And his rivalry with Jet is even better! 2:01 I loved the mention of Prison island! 2:55 Great job, Lanolin!

That moment with Lanolin was thankfully more of a whoops moment than a despisable moment, as she never intended to break the glass, and she knows it, judging by her facial expression
Surge n’ Kit getting a taste of redemption, Jewel’s starting to sense something amiss, Tails and Amy just might have the truth in their grasp… Looks like things are finally starting to look up for our heroes
Surge and Kit both got to experience the feeling of being seen as heroes instead of villains. I'm actually happy they got to experience something that was really positive. Makes me think they could be neutral like Shadow.
I knew Belle was going to be involved in this arc, but I wasn’t expecting her to be tied up. I wonder what she knew that made Clutch do that. Surge and Kit seem to enjoy being viewed as heroes, so this might be their first step towards actually redeeming themselves. I can’t help but notice that Jewel actually seems suspicious of Duo after he leaves. Perhaps Clutch underestimated her.
yep. in fact, she may have actually been suspecting Duo since issue 64, because she knows Silver and Whisper well, and was simply playing a long con test when she hired Duo as her office helper. It would be even better if she had consulted Whisper beforehand, with Tangle present, and let them in on it, because while consulting, they remembered Whisper's mask's recording ability and find images of Duo kicking Silver, but decide to play it safe and keep Lanolin in the dark, due to her current behaviour
@@Angninjin Preferably, I'd like Eggman to be the one who does him in, since the whole reason he turned on the Diamond Cutters was to avoid specifically THAT.
This might not end well once everyone find out about Phantom Rider's identity. At best they would call Sonic an attention freak, obsessed with being in a center of everything, like a race he was no longer a part of. At worst they would call him a jerk, who despite every noble intention he trusts his archenemy more than his friends, because he did not tell them what he suspected and instead he took the doctor's offer, ruining their trust in him. If that's Eggman's endgame, next to ruining Clutch's plans, then once again we see how the doctor is truly smart and devious when not childish.
I love how this is going. Lanoline is starting to realize that if you concentrate too much on one thing, you will miss the bigger picture(Trying to detain Sonic/Phantom Rider then the glass breaking), Jewel is starting to realize that Duo and Clutch may not be who they seem to be. As for Belle being locked in a locker, that was probably done because she witnessed the tampering of Team Sonic's Ex-Gear and is also awear of Clutch's true nature.
Yeah, that's pretty much what Sonic learned 15 issues ago. He was trying to hard to foster the perceived "good" in Eggman and Metal Sonic (he also told Surge, when they first met, that he was willing to do the same for Starline), that he failed to account for the people he was LETTING them hurt.
@@videogollumer And I remember what you said about Tangle's character development during the urban warfare arc, and she'll need to have the courage to outright chew out Lanolin and compare her to Starline. Whisper had character development during urban warfare arc, and deserves some more in the current arc; even though she has yet to speak, I'm thinking it'll involve her getting back on Mimic's trail, while at the same time dealing with Surge and Kit, ending in a rematch between her and Surge, with Whisper not only winning, but learning not to be reliant on her wisps, and in the process, both sides come to an understanding of each other. As for Jewel, I'm willing to bet that she decided to actually look into Duo after Whisper and Silver's accusations in issue 64, because she knows them and they're her friends, and simply hired Duo to help in her office so she can study and test him. it would be even better if she consulted Whisper beforehand, with Tangle present, and in the process, see the image of Duo kicking Silver on her mask, and lets them both in on it
@@RobertJames-i8j I don't think Tangle knew Starline well enough to make that comparison. Personally, I'd like to see her tail-punch Lanolin in the face, but I'm not exactly EXPECTING that to happen either.
Jet is getting angrier by all the trash writing that Ian Flynn puts him through, all because of some 'behind the scenes' drama involving Ian Flynn & fans of the Babylon Rogues. He needs to be fired.
Well so far so good. The Phantom Rider ruse got Tails and Amy in and “Phantom” got to wound Jet’s ego! And on top of that, Bootwire and Angerfier got a taste of the limelight; maybe this could get to legitimately turn over a new leaf. Of course bad news is that Clutch is gonna have Mimic look into this, and Lanolin gonna double down HARD the next Phantom appears.
Just as long as he's not evil; I've had enough of the sanctimonious, borderline evil Sonic that popped up several times from Issues 6-55 to last a life time!
They might need someone else to take over as the Phantom Rider, finding out that it’s Sonic could trigger a bad response from Surge and Kit. Plus Clutch and Mimic might get suspicious if Sonic is nowhere to be found.
1. I don't know why but... Seen Surge smiling made me feel very happy 🙂 2. I have a prediction: Surge and Kit will have a redemption arc and at the end they will help Sonic and the gang to stop Clutch and Mimic once and for all, explaining the synopsis on issue #73. However on the other hand, Lanolin will became a plot twisted villain who secretly worked for Clutch as a secret agent, and also she knew who Duo really was and was only pretending to not know him, and also she would reveal to be in reality MIMIC'S SECRET GIRLFRIEND, explaining why she always defended him on issue #63 & #64 (Nah just kidding XD)
Great comic the smiles on surge and kits faces were adorable sonic was awesome as the phantom rider and belle is back can’t wait for the next one 🤩🥰❤️💙💚🏂
So much in this issue! -Sonic is a karmen rider...Nice!! -Surge and Kit looked so happy getting praise, maybe hints at some redemption for the pair.. - Lanolin might be getting the reality check she desperately needs! - Jewel starting to suspect something's up with duo...Glad someone else is finally! - Belle was kidnapped...who ever did that may their suffering be extremely painful!!
@@pikachu0Z Honestly, I'm wondering if Tangle, when she told the events of "Tangle & Whisper" to Sonic, ever mentioned that Mimic hurt Chao and caused other mayhem while wearing HIS FACE.
You should read the end parts of the comic with the questions and art squad cuz they mention Sonic is going to have a crossover in the coming months! They said they’re a BIG threat so since they emphasized BIG, it might be Godzilla!
- 2:43 - 3:00 Still feel being superior, Lanolin?! You're gonna owe Phantom Rider a gratitude for being the Restoration's guardian angel and you're gonna owe apologies to the heroes and your own teammates!! - 4:17 - 4:38 How ironic cuz that's what Starline modified you two for. - 4:46 I guess that same as losing XD - 7:28 Either under Jewel's order or under her own will, I guess Belle started to get suspicious of Clean Sweep's activities and Team Sonic's disqualification and trying to investigating it but got caught in the process.
Fun Fact: Just like Sonic's color of _Blue_ is opposite to Mario/Knuckles _Red_ Surge's color of _Green_ is opposite to that of Blaze's/Rayman's _Magenta_ Green and Magenta are separated by different shades of *_*Blue*_*
@@videogollumer Pulled up 2 pictures of Blaze The Cat & Rayman for contrast and comparison We are stepping on VERY thin color palette ice-breaker, so the comparisons are still true to an extend Sonic Rush and Rayman 3 are seperated by only 2-3 years....
@videogollumer You are right, the shirt of Blaze The Cat is **Dark Magenta** while Rayman's Shirt has similar shades of purple Which the point of lavender fur, yes, Blaze has the lavender fur... Rayman has blonde hair, and cream(?) color head My point, is that Blaze similarly to Rayman, wears: -Red-dish Accents (Red hood/ Red Headband, Red edges of the clothing) -White Gloves and Shoe front color -Purple Clothing (Purple hoodie, purple coat These are a few things that make them similar, by equivalence, Blaze/Rayman are guardians against C H A O S with funky (sample) beats along the way... Surge, Surge is a straight up on the side of the color picker against O R D E R, Rather than having some yellow on her shoes as a little bit of crazy, her outfit is all yellow, black, and some greys that go nicely with her green
@@Ratscallion_exe Interestingly, Surge and Kit have a similar theme going on with each other's counterparts. Surge's fur is chartreuse, while Kit's is aquamarine. Both are variations of green, which of course is made by mixing blue and yellow, the colors of Sonic and Tails' fur respectively. Chartreuse, Surge's fur color, is green mixed with yellow, Tails' fur color; while aquamarine, Kit's fur color, is green mixed with blue, Sonic's fur color.

4:39 - Love the smile Surge had! So happy her and Kit could experience a happy time😊 Hopefully this gives them a start on being redeemed. Guess we will see❤️ Can’t wait for Issue 71!
Clutch is clearly going to take advantage of this and have Mimic pose as the phantom rider during the next race. should he find out that the phantom rider is sonic, he'll decide to frame him. the look on Lanolin's face when she realises that, in spite of Sonic accidently knocking off some riders, she's not been dealing with the villain, but actually helping the real villains this whole time.
Despite the rocky start, Sonic was able to get Tails and Amy inside, Surge starts see why being a hero is nice, Jet found a new rival, Jewel is getting sus towards Duo, Clutch is planning to deal with the new interloper, and Tails and Amy have found Belle who has a story to tell, i'm looking forward for the next issue this month.
This issue was very great and Sonic is the Phantom Rider. And can I say that costume is literally cool. It reminds me of a Power Ranger and I hope they can use this costume in the games in the future. And I literally smiled from ear to ear when I saw Surge smile feeling and being like a hero, since I want her to feel good about herself. Maybe something like this could help her change her mind to come to the light and be a hero. That made my day! For Lanolin the shock on her face says it enough. She was so absorbed about catching this Phantom rider and upholding the rules to the point that she's forgetting about every other racers safety. And thank goodness for Tangle and her tail. And Jewel knows that something is up with Duo. I just hope in this arc Lanolin learns a lesson about friendship And to apologize to Sonic, Whisper, Silver, Tangle Amy, and Tails and practically everyone she might have gotten angry or offended. And maybe I want Lanolin to step down from her leadership role and get it to Tangle or Whisper since those two both have more experience than her and one of them was one of the original members of the Diamond Cutters. And also Duo getting a out in the public and for Tangle and Whisper to capture him.
@@loiiysailor1177 Exactly. And to just be more understanding and just think before she says or does anything. And hopefully she can learn this by the end of this arc. Because if not then people are just going to get more hurt by her actions and inactions.
@@videogollumer I don't know about murder though. I think he should be captured in a very sealed tight area. But if we're going to give Mimic the Starline treatment then by all means.
@@SonicBoss1991 I bet the DiD fanart community are on a field day with that one. 😂 But in all seriousness, that was a huge "OH HELL NO" moment right there.
@@videogollumer actually, sheep have one stomach with four compartments. perhaps it should be one for each compartment. but yes, I see your point either way. the more issues that debut, the more doors are open to possible theories. from this point, how do YOU think it'll go for the Diamond Cutters. I'm open to ideas
Uh Phantom- I mean Sonic, you mess every citizen in race just crash and fall, and Diamond Cutters and the Police gonna find you. And you gonna be trouble.😰😰
Sonic just try to create diversion while Tails and Amy sneak in the headquarters of cleansweep to find clues. He wasn't really trying to hurt for real. Eggman helping too
He was going too fast and probably didn't realize he made trouble to others,after all he was focused in the plan , but he saved one person from falling tho( I wonder if the camera recorded that moment, so the people and racers can make their own theories if he is a bad or good guy)
@@Angninjin how ironic that Lanolin ended up causing more damaged than the rider she was chasing when she used her bell to pin down the rider, cracking the glass track and putting more lives in danger. that's gonna be the start of a journey towards clarity
I worry that something is going to happen to Surge that's going to drag her back down again. Either threw Clutch or something else that happens that gets the crowd to turn against Surge as the arc goes. Given how this IDW comics has had some heart retching moments... I worry.
2:42 I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero and they found you amusing for a while the people of this city. But the one thing they love more than a hero... is to see a hero fail fall die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them eventually they will hate you.
I just now realized something. Belle is on one of the covers for issue 71. I didn’t realize that. I didn’t think she was going to be in this arc at all, so it was definitely a surprise to me to see her.
Also, the Phantom Rider really just made this the best book to come out from IDW in a long time. I honestly thought he was the coolest thing ever while reading this, so props to the writers on that one.
@@LynxWind I really liked the whole phantom rider thing, and I do have to admire Surge's smile at being called a hero and being genuinely touched, even though it was a fluke. that being said, I'd still like for us to focus on the diamond cutters at some point, especially Whisper who hasn't spoken all arc yet
Sonic looks really cool as The Phantom Rider, bro about to bring the black energy force, very interesting to see Sure liking the the idea of being a Hero, look at that Lanolin is actually messing up with her leadership , she has a long way to go , still hate her defenders act like having experience has nothing to do with it, yes it does she messing up right now, love the idea Jewel is actually getting suspicious of Duo , it seems Evan is getting better with her writing and happened to Belle? Also funny part with Amy getting jump scares by Belles hand
Frankly, I liked Test Run. Sonic wasn't really an idiot jerk during that one; and the sight of true fear in his eye when Eggman tried to burn his two best friends, Tails and Amy, to death was proof that the Sonic I know and love was still in there, buried beneath his delusional Eggman apologism. All it took was for Eggman to threaten his friends' lives one too many times 21 Issues later to make him realize Dr. Humpty Dumpty was a lost cause.
Reading this with Un-gravitify electro (Slowed) was badass! I missed riders so much! Sonic needs to keep his quills pointing up more often! Sht tuff. Loved genesis wave archie sonic but this idw run is growing on me.
Despite Sonic tried to play bad part, he inevitably helping Surge and Kit getting respect. Which is a good thing in two actions. Maybe they might change a bit
@@xdomeman Nice try, he was talking about Eggman and Metal Sonic all that time; he was wrong about them, PAINFULLY wrong! The kid villains have redeeming qualities; the adult villains don't.
@@videogollumer the thing about Eggman was extremely weird as he never had that idea about Eggman to begin with. In the games, he's fully aware that Eggman wants to stick with his ideals, hence the lyrics of "Open Your Heart", so as to why Sonic wanted to suddenly redeem Eggman came completely out of left field which I fully blame the writing team for. Sonic has always been smarter than that. But here? He was right. Absolutely right. So shove off.
AND had one of her classic pre-Lost World outburst over it! Yeah, I know this is one of the reasons Amy haters exist; and she DID kinda shout at Tails, who had nothing to do with it; but if anyone is offended by it, they should cut her some slack. It's not like she was angry at Tails himself; she was just angry at the situation, and I frankly can understand that. It probably almost scared the pink out of poor Amy! Face hugs are unsettling, and not just from the eponymous Face Huggers from Alien who started the infamous trope. When Belle's hand jumped toward her face as she screamed, I was even thinking "Aw NAW, writers! Don't do that to Amy!".
@@videogollumer Good analysis. By the way, idk if you got my reply from Mike’s channel so I’ll repost here. I noticed you often used Hopper to prove why Lanolin is responsible for the current Diamond Cutters despite the grasshopper being an abusive @**. So I found a better example. In Epic the Musical, which is an adaptation of Homer’s the Odyssey, Eurylechus snaps at Odysseus after he sacrifices six men to the monster Scylla. “If you want all the power, you must carry all the blame.” Note that he was a chill and respectable guy who followed Odysseus’ orders up until this point.
@@hydrocityshark Wow, an adaptation of a Greek Mythological hero who is actually worse than the original. In the original poem, Scylla just drags the boat over and helps herself to six of Odysseus' men while they were trying to avoid her and Charybdis. As for Hopper, yes, he's a hardhearted bully; and he WAS blaming SOLELY Atta, neither knowing nor caring that it was Flik who accidentally knocked the offering over into the water; but his statement isn't wrong, in a sense. In a group, individuals can be at fault; but the leader is responsible for maintaining the group. Thus, at least in most cases, the leader shoulders at least a part of the blame. Frankly, Atta was partially at fault because she failed to account for the fact that Flik hadn't made it into the ant hill yet; thus, she left both him, and by extension the offering stone, unsupervised for just a moment. It COULD have made a difference; I'm not saying it would have for certain, but it could have. Back to Hopper, it applied to him too. Not only did his leadership decisions lead to his death, but he put his gang of grasshoppers at risk. Were they able to able to make it back to the sombrero or did they get caught in the rain leaving? We'll never know, but the risks were apparent; and it was all because Hopper couldn't tolerate anyone questioning of his authority, be they ant or grasshopper, and his decisions threatened both.
@@videogollumer In Epic’s defense though, he made the sacrifice because in this version Scylla’s lair was the only way out of the Underworld where Poseidon couldn’t reach his crew. At least that’s what a surprisingly honest Siren told him. Odysseus did this by reading her lips while having his ears filled with Beeswax so he handled that better than the original.
Gasp! Who locked belle in the closet!? I wonder if she know that duo is actually Mimic and what’s going on hopefully. 🤞 also gotta say that armor egg man gave to sonic is pretty sick. I still don’t trust eggman as far as I can throw him. But you know “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” and all. Well if mimic and clutch do get exposed and an apology is owed to silver after what happen last time also maybe surge and kit can be offical heroes or anti heroes idk they are a bit of a conundrum.
Well look like Surge and Kit finally got a taste of the light side and they liked it.

@@videogollumerI see what you did there. Mimic dying would be glorious, I admit that his death must be brutal or more than Starline's.
@@Angninjin Preferably, I'd like Eggman to be the one who does him in, since the whole reason he turned on the Diamond Cutters was to avoid specifically THAT.
This might not end well once everyone find out about Phantom Rider's identity. At best they would call Sonic an attention freak, obsessed with being in a center of everything, like a race he was no longer a part of. At worst they would call him a jerk, who despite every noble intention he trusts his archenemy more than his friends, because he did not tell them what he suspected and instead he took the doctor's offer, ruining their trust in him. If that's Eggman's endgame, next to ruining Clutch's plans, then once again we see how the doctor is truly smart and devious when not childish.
I love how they showed many types of extreme gears.. Even the portable ones like in Zero Gravity !
TAILS GOT GUM IN HIS HAIR LIKE SHE SAID HAHAHAHA NOOOOO
aha, the synopsis for the next issue says that secrets are revealed, and at least we now know who they are coming from
I love how this is going. Lanoline is starting to realize that if you concentrate too much on one thing, you will miss the bigger picture(Trying to detain Sonic/Phantom Rider then the glass breaking), Jewel is starting to realize that Duo and Clutch may not be who they seem to be. As for Belle being locked in a locker, that was probably done because she witnessed the tampering of Team Sonic's Ex-Gear and is also awear of Clutch's true nature.
Now we know even she can mess up wow is like getting experience actually matters
Yeah, that's pretty much what Sonic learned 15 issues ago. He was trying to hard to foster the perceived "good" in Eggman and Metal Sonic (he also told Surge, when they first met, that he was willing to do the same for Starline), that he failed to account for the people he was LETTING them hurt.
@@videogollumer And I remember what you said about Tangle's character development during the urban warfare arc, and she'll need to have the courage to outright chew out Lanolin and compare her to Starline.
Whisper had character development during urban warfare arc, and deserves some more in the current arc; even though she has yet to speak, I'm thinking it'll involve her getting back on Mimic's trail, while at the same time dealing with Surge and Kit, ending in a rematch between her and Surge, with Whisper not only winning, but learning not to be reliant on her wisps, and in the process, both sides come to an understanding of each other.
As for Jewel, I'm willing to bet that she decided to actually look into Duo after Whisper and Silver's accusations in issue 64, because she knows them and they're her friends, and simply hired Duo to help in her office so she can study and test him. it would be even better if she consulted Whisper beforehand, with Tangle present, and in the process, see the image of Duo kicking Silver on her mask, and lets them both in on it
@@RobertJames-i8j I don't think Tangle knew Starline well enough to make that comparison. Personally, I'd like to see her tail-punch Lanolin in the face, but I'm not exactly EXPECTING that to happen either.
This was a awesome issue, I can’t wait to see what happens next
It’s cool to see everyone in the Riders outfits. Both old and new characters.
Surge is adorable when she smiles, and it made me rather happy as well.
Sammmeeeeee
The disguise for Sonic looked immaculate.
Crazy how Tails is mentioning Berry, while unknowingly Berry is directly below him, working his new job as a hot dog vendor.
Jet getting angrier by the minute is just hilarious to me lol. Also, nice seeing Surge and Kit get some real recognition. Surge smile is too cute 😊
They deserve it after all this time
@@SonicBoss1991 True 💯
Jet is getting angrier by all the trash writing that Ian Flynn puts him through, all because of some 'behind the scenes' drama involving Ian Flynn & fans of the Babylon Rogues. He needs to be fired.
@@KennethMoreland He didn't even write this issue, genius!
Well so far so good. The Phantom Rider ruse got Tails and Amy in and “Phantom” got to wound Jet’s ego! And on top of that, Bootwire and Angerfier got a taste of the limelight; maybe this could get to legitimately turn over a new leaf.
Of course bad news is that Clutch is gonna have Mimic look into this, and Lanolin gonna double down HARD the next Phantom appears.
4:49 So that means there's a chance of redemption, right?
Press X to doubt.
@@ARTSONICFAN990X (I've changed my mind...)
X
I do think they can change but also for that it might be hard for them cause of how starline build them
@@Surgefan-140 You're right...Their trauma is still there 😟
I like it when surge says we're done when I say we're done. :3
The prison island reference made me laugh
Sonic did say he wouldn't mind being the bad guy time to time.
Just as long as he's not evil; I've had enough of the sanctimonious, borderline evil Sonic that popped up several times from Issues 6-55 to last a life time!
They might need someone else to take over as the Phantom Rider, finding out that it’s Sonic could trigger a bad response from Surge and Kit. Plus Clutch and Mimic might get suspicious if Sonic is nowhere to be found.
@@Rman94 Hopefully Sonic doesn’t become empowered and refuses to release the suit.
1. I don't know why but... Seen Surge smiling made me feel very happy 🙂
2. I have a prediction: Surge and Kit will have a redemption arc and at the end they will help Sonic and the gang to stop Clutch and Mimic once and for all, explaining the synopsis on issue #73.
However on the other hand, Lanolin will became a plot twisted villain who secretly worked for Clutch as a secret agent, and also she knew who Duo really was and was only pretending to not know him, and also she would reveal to be in reality MIMIC'S SECRET GIRLFRIEND, explaining why she always defended him on issue #63 & #64 (Nah just kidding XD)
Great comic the smiles on surge and kits faces were adorable sonic was awesome as the phantom rider and belle is back can’t wait for the next one 🤩🥰❤️💙💚🏂
I couldn't help but notice that Jewel seemed to be catching on to something.
She definitely knows something
*EMERGENCY MEETING*
“purple is sus vote purple”
@@dlausactor6373 🐙
So much in this issue!
-Sonic is a karmen rider...Nice!!
-Surge and Kit looked so happy getting praise, maybe hints at some redemption for the pair..
- Lanolin might be getting the reality check she desperately needs!
- Jewel starting to suspect something's up with duo...Glad someone else is finally!
- Belle was kidnapped...who ever did that may their suffering be extremely painful!!
A number of us are suspecting that Mimic is responsible for Belle's bondage.
@@videogollumer
After what he also did to whisper and silver, he deserves the absolute worst
@@pikachu0Z Honestly, I'm wondering if Tangle, when she told the events of "Tangle & Whisper" to Sonic, ever mentioned that Mimic hurt Chao and caused other mayhem while wearing HIS FACE.
2:53 Baa-ram-ewe! Baa-ram-ewe! To your team, your fleece, you bring disgrace! In your face! Baa-ram-ewe!
You should read the end parts of the comic with the questions and art squad cuz they mention Sonic is going to have a crossover in the coming months!
They said they’re a BIG threat so since they emphasized BIG, it might be Godzilla!
I saw!!!
- 2:43 - 3:00 Still feel being superior, Lanolin?! You're gonna owe Phantom Rider a gratitude for being the Restoration's guardian angel and you're gonna owe apologies to the heroes and your own teammates!!
- 4:17 - 4:38 How ironic cuz that's what Starline modified you two for.
- 4:46 I guess that same as losing XD
- 7:28 Either under Jewel's order or under her own will, I guess Belle started to get suspicious of Clean Sweep's activities and Team Sonic's disqualification and trying to investigating it but got caught in the process.
Fun Fact: Just like Sonic's color of _Blue_ is opposite to Mario/Knuckles _Red_
Surge's color of _Green_ is opposite to that of Blaze's/Rayman's _Magenta_
Green and Magenta are separated by different shades of *_*Blue*_*
Blaze is lavender; magenta is a redish purple.
@@videogollumer Pulled up 2 pictures of Blaze The Cat & Rayman for contrast and comparison
We are stepping on VERY thin color palette ice-breaker, so the comparisons are still true to an extend
Sonic Rush and Rayman 3 are seperated by only 2-3 years....
@@Ratscallion_exe I just looked up Rayman; he's not magenta either. Look up Magenta from Blue's Clues; SHE, as her name implies, is magenta.
@videogollumer You are right, the shirt of Blaze The Cat is **Dark Magenta** while Rayman's Shirt has similar shades of purple
Which the point of lavender fur, yes, Blaze has the lavender fur...
Rayman has blonde hair, and cream(?) color head
My point, is that Blaze similarly to Rayman, wears:
-Red-dish Accents (Red hood/ Red Headband, Red edges of the clothing)
-White Gloves and Shoe front color
-Purple Clothing (Purple hoodie, purple coat
These are a few things that make them similar, by equivalence, Blaze/Rayman are guardians against C H A O S with funky (sample) beats along the way...
Surge, Surge is a straight up on the side of the color picker against O R D E R,
Rather than having some yellow on her shoes as a little bit of crazy, her outfit is all yellow, black, and some greys that go nicely with her green
@@Ratscallion_exe Interestingly, Surge and Kit have a similar theme going on with each other's counterparts. Surge's fur is chartreuse, while Kit's is aquamarine. Both are variations of green, which of course is made by mixing blue and yellow, the colors of Sonic and Tails' fur respectively. Chartreuse, Surge's fur color, is green mixed with yellow, Tails' fur color; while aquamarine, Kit's fur color, is green mixed with blue, Sonic's fur color.
So many fireworks in the clean sweepstakes race & phantom Riders Arc. Phantom Rider is Sonic’s alter ego, Phantom Rider outmaneuvers Jet, Wave & Storm, Diamond Cutters, Restoration, Duo, security & cops, Surge & Kit face off vs Phantom Rider, Surge & Kit, Dufend off the Phantom Rider, making them heroes, Babylon Rogues not having it at all, Belle gets kidnapped by Clean Sweep Inc, Tails & Amy rescue her, this was super good phantom Riders arc pt 2, Sonic IDW 70 comic, wow all over this, excited for the next ones, leads to Phantom Riders Arc finale in 73 Race to the finish & Happy 4th of July 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🔴⚪️🔵🟥⬜️🟦🧨💣🎆🎇
The ending events of the last issue would ultimately lead up to Sonic being THE PHANTOM RIDER, what a twist.
4:37 🎶we can be Heros, just for one day🎶
2:43 Oh Shit, the cops.
Forget the cops! Phantom Rider needs to keep em busy! But don't worry, he will return!!!
Loose the heat, Phantom Rider!!!
Phantom Rider, destroy for daddy!!!! Hahahahahaha.
Hahahahahahahaha!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 🃏😈🤪🤣🤣😂😂 (Joker's laugh!)
Your right, forget about the cop, so Sonic still continued racing with Diamond Cutters, The Babylon Rogue and Surge and Kit to continue the race.
@@VasusRohos for real 🤣🤣🤣
5:18 YOOO! That literally gave me chills when I saw Jewel's glare! Someone insert the prowler theme in there!
there's no way jewel doesn't think there's something fishy with clean sweep inc at this point.
Surge:...We're Heroes! Me: Well Yes but actually no. 4:33
Dude poor Belle, she's been kidnapped like twice now
On the bright side, she’s not Princess Zelda or Peach.
4:39 - Love the smile Surge had! So happy her and Kit could experience a happy time😊
Hopefully this gives them a start on being redeemed. Guess we will see❤️
Can’t wait for Issue 71!
I had wondered what Bell has been up to.
Sonic evolves into Phantom Rider?!🤯😨😱
Clutch is clearly going to take advantage of this and have Mimic pose as the phantom rider during the next race. should he find out that the phantom rider is sonic, he'll decide to frame him. the look on Lanolin's face when she realises that, in spite of Sonic accidently knocking off some riders, she's not been dealing with the villain, but actually helping the real villains this whole time.
That scene with the Hand reminded me a lot of 1 of the Enemies in Little Nightmares 2
🔨😖💦👋💨
I love you
No one listens to me when I talk about little nightmares
I want someone to make a Amy and tails mod for it now lol
Sonic is the coolest villian
Despite the rocky start, Sonic was able to get Tails and Amy inside, Surge starts see why being a hero is nice, Jet found a new rival, Jewel is getting sus towards Duo, Clutch is planning to deal with the new interloper, and Tails and Amy have found Belle who has a story to tell, i'm looking forward for the next issue this month.
6:03 nice reference to Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog over here
That smile on Surge is just too cute
This issue was very great and Sonic is the Phantom Rider. And can I say that costume is literally cool. It reminds me of a Power Ranger and I hope they can use this costume in the games in the future. And I literally smiled from ear to ear when I saw Surge smile feeling and being like a hero, since I want her to feel good about herself. Maybe something like this could help her change her mind to come to the light and be a hero. That made my day! For Lanolin the shock on her face says it enough. She was so absorbed about catching this Phantom rider and upholding the rules to the point that she's forgetting about every other racers safety. And thank goodness for Tangle and her tail. And Jewel knows that something is up with Duo. I just hope in this arc Lanolin learns a lesson about friendship And to apologize to Sonic, Whisper, Silver, Tangle Amy, and Tails and practically everyone she might have gotten angry or offended. And maybe I want Lanolin to step down from her leadership role and get it to Tangle or Whisper since those two both have more experience than her and one of them was one of the original members of the Diamond Cutters. And also Duo getting a out in the public and for Tangle and Whisper to capture him.
Lanolin needs to learn about friendship, team work, trust, and Leadership, that's things she needs for her character arc
@@loiiysailor1177 Exactly. And to just be more understanding and just think before she says or does anything. And hopefully she can learn this by the end of this arc. Because if not then people are just going to get more hurt by her actions and inactions.
Capture shmapture! Mimic needs to DIE! If he doesn't, Whisper will NEVER get over her apprehensions!
@@videogollumer I don't know about murder though. I think he should be captured in a very sealed tight area. But if we're going to give Mimic the Starline treatment then by all means.
@@scarletlion1318 I just said he NEEDS to die; frankly, I'd rather Eggman do it!
CLUTCH! WHAT THE CHILI DOGS DID YOU DO TO BELLE IN THAT LAST PANEL?
Poor girl 😔😭
@@SonicBoss1991 I bet the DiD fanart community are on a field day with that one. 😂
But in all seriousness, that was a huge "OH HELL NO" moment right there.
@@ARTSONICFAN990 Those artists have a field day when a new character is shown off
@@SonicBoss1991 My point exactly.
Why those little bastards?!😡😡🤬🤬
Esto se va a poner bueno 🍿
Y si que se puso bueno. Aunque pobre Belle, espero que cuente todos los detalles que pueda a Tails y Amy.
2:59 😐... The Phantom didn't do it, Lanolin did it
yep a doodle, it's the beginning of a three-course humble dinner for the sheep, maybe a but more realistically speaking
@@RobertJames-i8j Make it four-course, one for each stomach.
@@videogollumer actually, sheep have one stomach with four compartments. perhaps it should be one for each compartment. but yes, I see your point either way.
the more issues that debut, the more doors are open to possible theories. from this point, how do YOU think it'll go for the Diamond Cutters. I'm open to ideas
@@RobertJames-i8j Toh-may-toh, Toh-mah-toh; it's the same for all cud chewers.
Uh Phantom- I mean Sonic, you mess every citizen in race just crash and fall, and Diamond Cutters and the Police gonna find you. And you gonna be trouble.😰😰
It's not likely he tried to do it on purpose so.....
Sonic just try to create diversion while Tails and Amy sneak in the headquarters of cleansweep to find clues. He wasn't really trying to hurt for real. Eggman helping too
He was going too fast and probably didn't realize he made trouble to others,after all he was focused in the plan , but he saved one person from falling tho( I wonder if the camera recorded that moment, so the people and racers can make their own theories if he is a bad or good guy)
@@Angninjin how ironic that Lanolin ended up causing more damaged than the rider she was chasing when she used her bell to pin down the rider, cracking the glass track and putting more lives in danger. that's gonna be the start of a journey towards clarity
That's true, but Phantom Rider save the other racer.
1:55 Hilarious Sonic X reference on the bottom right!😂
I noticed that after the video! 😂
I worry that something is going to happen to Surge that's going to drag her back down again. Either threw Clutch or something else that happens that gets the crowd to turn against Surge as the arc goes. Given how this IDW comics has had some heart retching moments... I worry.
SONIC HAS AN ALTER EGO!!
Music?
We really need either a new Sonic Riders game or a remaster of the first Sonic Riders. That game was the only racing game I enjoyed.
2:42
I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero and they found you amusing for a while the people of this city. But the one thing they love more than a hero... is to see a hero fail fall die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them eventually they will hate you.
Alright, were are BACK. Loved all of it! They are setting up something BIG
I just now realized something. Belle is on one of the covers for issue 71. I didn’t realize that. I didn’t think she was going to be in this arc at all, so it was definitely a surprise to me to see her.
Also, the Phantom Rider really just made this the best book to come out from IDW in a long time. I honestly thought he was the coolest thing ever while reading this, so props to the writers on that one.
@@LynxWind I really liked the whole phantom rider thing, and I do have to admire Surge's smile at being called a hero and being genuinely touched, even though it was a fluke. that being said, I'd still like for us to focus on the diamond cutters at some point, especially Whisper who hasn't spoken all arc yet
Sonic looks really cool as The Phantom Rider, bro about to bring the black energy force, very interesting to see Sure liking the the idea of being a Hero, look at that Lanolin is actually messing up with her leadership , she has a long way to go , still hate her defenders act like having experience has nothing to do with it, yes it does she messing up right now, love the idea Jewel is actually getting suspicious of Duo , it seems Evan is getting better with her writing and happened to Belle?
Also funny part with Amy getting jump scares by Belles hand
Frankly, I liked Test Run. Sonic wasn't really an idiot jerk during that one; and the sight of true fear in his eye when Eggman tried to burn his two best friends, Tails and Amy, to death was proof that the Sonic I know and love was still in there, buried beneath his delusional Eggman apologism. All it took was for Eggman to threaten his friends' lives one too many times 21 Issues later to make him realize Dr. Humpty Dumpty was a lost cause.
@@videogollumer More could’ve been done with the fake emeralds and the arc could’ve lasted a little longer, but I generally liked that one.
@@hydrocityshark You do realize I'm talking primarily about Test Run, not Urban Warfare.
@@videogollumer My apologies.
@@hydrocityshark No need to apologize.
Surge and kit gotta feel good about doing good and stopping sonic for a bit no one shall control you no more, you make your decisions do good
Reading this with Un-gravitify electro (Slowed) was badass! I missed riders so much! Sonic needs to keep his quills pointing up more often! Sht tuff.
Loved genesis wave archie sonic but this idw run is growing on me.
That obstacle course even left Mimic (as Duo) baffled 😅
He has severe Thanatophobia, which hardly makes him the "professional" he thinks he is in his line of work.
This is this is....... Perfect I love it 😀
Surge and Kit get a taste of being the hero
Lanolin is a stick in the mud as usual.
And Sonic becomes the villain once again to save everyone.
Ngl I'd want Phantom Rider as a skin for Sonic in generations or even a merchandise i'll buy it
Yesssssssss same or for speed battle
Clutch mimic lock belle in locker
2:13 the guards are referencing Prison Island!!
jet the hawk is holding a grudge against surge
Despite Sonic tried to play bad part, he inevitably helping Surge and Kit getting respect. Which is a good thing in two actions. Maybe they might change a bit
Meaning that Sonic ultimately turned out to be right
@@xdomeman Nice try, he was talking about Eggman and Metal Sonic all that time; he was wrong about them, PAINFULLY wrong! The kid villains have redeeming qualities; the adult villains don't.
@@videogollumer you again? I thought you wanted to be left alone.
@@xdomeman By you? I must have forgotten who you are. Mind refreshing me?
@@videogollumer the thing about Eggman was extremely weird as he never had that idea about Eggman to begin with. In the games, he's fully aware that Eggman wants to stick with his ideals, hence the lyrics of "Open Your Heart", so as to why Sonic wanted to suddenly redeem Eggman came completely out of left field which I fully blame the writing team for. Sonic has always been smarter than that. But here? He was right. Absolutely right. So shove off.
Why bell that girl never gets a break
I feel bad for the poor girl
It hurt to see her like that
Phantom Rider Suit gives off vibes from Spider-Man Unlimited.
Also Amy got face hugged 😱
AND had one of her classic pre-Lost World outburst over it! Yeah, I know this is one of the reasons Amy haters exist; and she DID kinda shout at Tails, who had nothing to do with it; but if anyone is offended by it, they should cut her some slack. It's not like she was angry at Tails himself; she was just angry at the situation, and I frankly can understand that. It probably almost scared the pink out of poor Amy! Face hugs are unsettling, and not just from the eponymous Face Huggers from Alien who started the infamous trope. When Belle's hand jumped toward her face as she screamed, I was even thinking "Aw NAW, writers! Don't do that to Amy!".
@@videogollumer Good analysis. By the way, idk if you got my reply from Mike’s channel so I’ll repost here.
I noticed you often used Hopper to prove why Lanolin is responsible for the current Diamond Cutters despite the grasshopper being an abusive @**. So I found a better example.
In Epic the Musical, which is an adaptation of Homer’s the Odyssey, Eurylechus snaps at Odysseus after he sacrifices six men to the monster Scylla. “If you want all the power, you must carry all the blame.” Note that he was a chill and respectable guy who followed Odysseus’ orders up until this point.
@@hydrocityshark Wow, an adaptation of a Greek Mythological hero who is actually worse than the original. In the original poem, Scylla just drags the boat over and helps herself to six of Odysseus' men while they were trying to avoid her and Charybdis.
As for Hopper, yes, he's a hardhearted bully; and he WAS blaming SOLELY Atta, neither knowing nor caring that it was Flik who accidentally knocked the offering over into the water; but his statement isn't wrong, in a sense. In a group, individuals can be at fault; but the leader is responsible for maintaining the group. Thus, at least in most cases, the leader shoulders at least a part of the blame.
Frankly, Atta was partially at fault because she failed to account for the fact that Flik hadn't made it into the ant hill yet; thus, she left both him, and by extension the offering stone, unsupervised for just a moment. It COULD have made a difference; I'm not saying it would have for certain, but it could have.
Back to Hopper, it applied to him too. Not only did his leadership decisions lead to his death, but he put his gang of grasshoppers at risk. Were they able to able to make it back to the sombrero or did they get caught in the rain leaving? We'll never know, but the risks were apparent; and it was all because Hopper couldn't tolerate anyone questioning of his authority, be they ant or grasshopper, and his decisions threatened both.
@@videogollumer In Epic’s defense though, he made the sacrifice because in this version Scylla’s lair was the only way out of the Underworld where Poseidon couldn’t reach his crew. At least that’s what a surprisingly honest Siren told him. Odysseus did this by reading her lips while having his ears filled with Beeswax so he handled that better than the original.
@@hydrocityshark Yeah, but he still took precautions; it was just funnier in the original.
surges smile awwww
Very nice video. Good work. Have a happy week for everyone. 😊
Well, Belle could know something about Clutch abnd his plans, and maybe Srge get an understanding when people dont hate or fear you, just liking you.
that phantom rider is sonic the hedgehog Ican tell by his green eye color that and the part where surge didn't know that she ramed him during a race
6:08 is that a Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog reference
It is!
@@SonicBoss1991 😆
hah tails DID get gum in his hair
Gasp! Who locked belle in the closet!? I wonder if she know that duo is actually Mimic and what’s going on hopefully. 🤞 also gotta say that armor egg man gave to sonic is pretty sick. I still don’t trust eggman as far as I can throw him. But you know “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” and all. Well if mimic and clutch do get exposed and an apology is owed to silver after what happen last time also maybe surge and kit can be offical heroes or anti heroes idk they are a bit of a conundrum.
I think Belle definitely knows something
