Mediocre?
This is only my opinion, but this what I think. I never not liked the Metal Virus Arc, and it is one of my favorite stories, just because of it's dark tone and Sonic's existential crisis and conclusion. Scrapnik Island is probably my favorite miniseries in the franchise and I have enjoyed the supporting cast and world building, for my least favorite arc, I would say Test Run. I also don't view it as an adaption because it is now apart of the main story.
This book has always been “there” for me. I’m completely caught up, and there’s been nothing that’s happened in it’s 5-year run. I especially don’t like Sonic in this. Having Sonic be someone who gives thought to any of his actions be it they bring about serious consequences or him doubt himself and think about morality is completely out of character. Remember that is supposed to be the same Sonic as the games. A character who has never cared about reformation or even justice. There’s tons of other issues I have, like the restrictions keeping the creativity so low that nothing can happen, making this book feel like a waste of time
This one zesty ahh review
I love idw but it has its problems. I blame sega the most tho
Based.
IDW feels like it is being held back a lot by limitations from after archie's run. Also, only a few minutes in and I can tell this is extremely high quality.
Great Video i see your point why you think IDW sonic is mediocre.
But still..
IDW>Archie

not gonna lie, the comic dub version of the IDW sonic was great. You can feel the emotion and set up. Shame that reading it is not the same.
based
you dod relize Ian really ccouldn't do anything with Shadow, without Sega having another tamtrum
The only IDW Sonic content I’ve consumed is the Metal Virus Arc, I thought it was very good but now I realize it’s mostly because of the interesting Zombie Plot. I really don’t like how the characters themselves are written which sucks because now Ian Flynn is writing the Sonic Games and Frontiers has only furthered my disdain for his version of Sonic & Friends.
41:08 SONG NAME PLS
Edit: turns out reading the description is a useful thing you should do… (Buster – GenesisKeys)
Don't know why people dislike the song's references, it's so corny and cool
Also guys dont forget that most bad characterization of the characters are Sega's fault, they literally have a list of things that are obligatory to follow when dealing with certain characters
THANK YOU! I’ve BEEN saying that IDW Sonic is miserably OoC because he will say anything and everything that’ll make him sound morally correct, even if it contradicts something he previously said.
He’s a motor mouth with none of the flair that made earlier iterations tick. There’s just no way that this is the same Sonic from Black Knight.
