    I really love how The Chaotix were able to get the info on Clutch and had a hard drive to show their evidence on him. Really showing that they’re no pushovers and that they’re solid detectives

      I mean they were still somehow defeated by Clutch and his no-name goons, off screen no less. The Chaotix can 100% take on a small army of fodder. I also have to wonder why Clutch didn’t even search them before locking them up.

    For Surge and Kit's plan, the inference is that by revealing Sonic's identity and their orders to destroy him, they're letting the whole world that Clutch wanted Sonic (an almost universally beloved hero) dead. Which is bound to cause some outcry.

      For Clutch, and maybe Sonic. Granted, I think she underestimates Sonic’s heroic reputation. Sure, there may be some aginst him now for taking up a secret identity and endangering people. But, the fact is Sonic’s saved the world many times, and people know at this point, the he hedgehog doesn’t doing anything without a good reason. He’s a bold, adventurer, seeking thrills, not a dumb delinquent that was born yesterday. Sonic’s reputation will recover and people will still like him. As for Clutch? He may not recover from this. But for Surge and Kit? The public could go either way seeing them as heroes, or chaotic outcasts. Even if they do chose to become heroes at some point, they could just as easily loose people’s trust. Or Surge and Kit could split.

    This arc in Sonic is really reaching epic points at with each new issue. I am loving Clutch as a villain, it is interesting seeing him aiming to control all events of his plan only to see the X-factors slowly break those plans. Surge and Kits i hope that their plan works and they can still keep some of their hero fame.

      Best case scenario? People see them as anti-heroes. Worst case scenario? They become wanted figurative outcasts on the run from mercenaries and threats they can’t handle. Feels like there’s still a lot of baggage they need to suffer through before they get redemption. You can only attain redemption if you seek it out. But, you have to want it.

      He’d more likely experiment on them and dissect them. Them dying in the process would probably be plus for him too: gaining new data, and another enemy off the board. A chaotic one at that. While he’s known Sonic enough to (mostly) predict and anticipate his boldness. He doesn’t know much about Surge and Kit. Their unhinged, chaotic nature would prove difficult for Eggman to counter consistently. Still, Surge and Kit going about the way they are? Eventually they’ll attract trouble they can’t handle. It’s hard to say where they’ll end up, but it seems like a path of self-destruction.

    The Kamen Rider fan in me just loves that they actually did something a la a Rider Kick (the most well known finisher move they have), and even a kind of spiritual explosion with the Phantom Rider device being damaged. (I say 'spiritual' because nothing exploded).
    Also, for the curious, Evan Stanley has confirmed that the Phantom Rider is indeed based on Kamen Rider. Her words from Twitter when asked about it. "Ya he's inspired by Kamen Rider designs in general, but not any specific character. I grabbed a bunch that I liked and shared them with Min Ho Kim and Aaron Hammerstrom, who did most of the actual designing."

    One of the things that I noticed about Surge in this issue is with her hair down symolizing her character development throughout the story, the first time we see Surge with her hair down, she was an innocent kid being put through horrific experiments to become Sonic’s replacement and having her mind rewritten by Starline to fit the image, the second time we see her with her hair down is at the start of the Phantom Riders Arc during the meeting with Clutch and Mimic this displays that her naivety is being manipulated yet again as working with Clean Sweep’s Inc has caused them to replace their old master for another but in this issue, we can see Surge is finally breaking free from Clutch’s control and no longer takes orders from him
    And Jewel is amazing in this issue, we can how much she has change since her debut, she went from a naive, damsel in distress normal civilian that needed to be saved to a brave leader who got a bone to pick with Clutch but props to her standing up to him even if it’s a bit late
    Don is an absolute goat here, not only did he and Nite saved Sonic from being caught by the Babylon Rogues and believing him when he wasn’t the one causing trouble in the last race and his friendship with the Chaotix’s are one of the best national treasure to see man , Don and Nite would be cool dads if they ever adopts
    And Clutch is about to lose his marbles when his plans of taking over restoration is currently slipping out of his hands and he is losing control over Surge and Kit as well as the situation but he still has Mimic and the rest of his armed security and the rest of restoration members he beaten to submission but soon he’s gonna learn the hard way that he played himself
    and The Diamond Cutters in this issue, I understand why Jewel would share her suspicions and what she had discovered about Clutch’s plans to Tangle and Whisper since they so much chemistry throughout the comic but not letting Lanolin know about what’s going on and keeping her out of the loop is not looking great and the poor communication shows, Whisper please don’t make the same mistake in issue 64, let Lanolin be a leader and leaving her out is you cornering her to the point she has no other choice than to turn against you as Mimic wants it

    Now here's a high-stakes event, and the finish line is still miles away. We can see multiple points of view, just like in any sporting event, and it gives us some interesting stories to tell.
    Surge and Kit's plan of revealing towards the cameras both Sonic's persona and Clutch's plan was a good tactical move (and did she make a Movie Shadow reference in her first attack?); they destroyed Sonic's glove, thus ending the disguise, and the people heard this was asked by some boss. Sonic's reputation is going down the drain and he might get scolded, and Clutch's image may be damaged when Surge reveals she was ordered to do this, even though she didn't want to, which in turn will let her gain more supporters.
    Thanks to Don, all the investigative teams are gathered and have found more than enough proof to end Clutch's takeover, but I wonder if this opposum has another trick up his sleeve besides his cane-gun.
    As for Tangle and Whisper, they made the wrong move when they revealed to Lanolin that the Phantom was Sonic; if they were silent, maybe they would've been able to discover that Duo/Mimic was working for Clutch this whole time.
    Too bad the race was cut short this time, but it gave us a new way of starting races. Imagine doing a freefall drop, of about 5-7 seconds, towards the track, collecting rings & air (although in low quantities), or maybe performing multiple tricks (just like what Sonic did in the first Riders opening), ending with the racers landing in the track starting the race? Of course, not every race track could have this starting method, but I could welcome this change of pace.
    The plot thickens and the stakes have never been higher. Hope for more action in the next issue.

Or just like how his friends he imprisons rough and tumble, mimic, and the deadly six in their world. Eggman has proven to be more dangerous then those criminals. He broke the world apart twice in Sonic Advance 3 and Sonic Unleashed which caused earth quakes that killed millions of innocents. Put the universe in danger because of the time eater. In Slave, the wisp for their energy was similar to what black doom wanted to do with the earth and its humans and started a war that caused the deaths of millions of people.
