This has been an exciting arc. Probably one of my favorite since IDW took over the Sonic brand. I'm finding Surge's development as a character one of the more interesting subplots of this story. It seems she enjoys being seen as a hero, but still has a violent temper. She and Kit are understandably tired of evil people like Clutch controlling and using them. I'm interested in seeing what Kit's plan to deal with this is. He's proven to be quite resourceful beneath his quiet and timid surface personality.
It was also an interesting first meeting for Sonic and Nite. It seems most who discover Sonic is the Phantom racer are willing to keep quiet about it. Lucky for him. Nite and Don are some of the more promising characters introduced into the IDW Sonic Universe and I look forward tio seeing more of them and the development of their hunt for the missing Chaotix.
This all seems to be leading up to a big climax in #75, which I also look forward to. IDW puts way too much into Star Trek and the Turtles, leaving Sonic a rather neglected brand, but that may be for the better. The less the editorial staff meddles into a book, the more likely it is to stay good. more
