Ian Flynn took this way farther than any writer ever has with Sonic. It's heart wrenching watching heroes get infected, but you can also see Sonic slowly see himself as less if a hero, and more of a failure who can't protect his friends. His attitude pulled him through tons of tough situations, but here? It made everything worse. It's actually genius, and it's the most personal and relatable Sonic has ever been. This dub was amazing too. Can't wait for more.

What's funny is how much emotion an emotionless Sonic has been able to portray. Sega didn't want IDW to give sonic really any feelings besides happy, cocky or annoyed but somehow Ian managed to get around that by having Sonic feel *nothing*. Or at least not show his feelings. In this arc he seems so distant from even the reader that it's genuinely impressive how emotive he is despite seeming so hollow.

I suspect she DID know. She'd previously been using various objects to fight to avoid making direct contact, despite already being infected. She simply ran out of stuff to use, I think. She knew that the plan she proposed would result in her turning quickly. She could only hope to buy enough time for the others to take off.

Whisper already has PTSD from her old team being killed by Eggman's Shadow Androids. So learning that Tangle, her best friend, is now another mindless Zombot? That's probably triggering it something fierce.

6:12 to 7:45 Truly the most heartbreaking scenes to sit and listen too. Whisper's despair and sorrow. Everyone losing their mind. Sonic holding back tears. Tangle turning. What a true masterpiece and the best delivered by Adrenaline Dubs!

It hurts to see childhood heroes start to die internally because of a small fuckup on Sonic's part.

You can really feel sonic’s helplessness with that “I can’t!”, his friends are hurting and he can’t even do anything about it because one touch is what it takes to make it worse.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Ian Flynn’s writing in these issues? We wouldn’t have been so drawn into these incredibly compelling Story Arcs in the IDW comics of it weren’t for his history with Sonic and story telling. He writes characters so well and brings out the best in them all. Even in dire situations such as the Metal Virus!

6:42 I love how the wisps are like, “Bro, Fucking Chill!”

6:32 This right here? This is the moment I've bee waiting for since you guys started this arc. And by god did you fucking DELIVER! Whisper's VA really fucking sold it and FUCK it was so good and sad. Between the sound design, incredible original sound track and again the AMAZING voice acting you guys have made the definitive way to experience these comics.

6:32 was just amazing. Whisper's scream with the swell of the violins and Amy struggling to keep Whisper from running into the fray and Sonic can't do anything- ah, that's just awesome. You guys did a wonderful job :D

What made this even more sad is the fact that Whisper has already lost a lot of people in her life that she cared about. That made losing Tangle for her even worse. Tangle is literally the one person that she’s really close with.

My god. This was devastating, I love how Whisper's cries sounded like actual dogs/wolf's cries

7:00: You’re always strong, Tangle.

The part that gets me about this issue is that it still hits like a ton of bricks, despite knowing that Tangle and everyone else will be ok in the end. Of course we know that Tangle isn't going to stay a Zombot forever, but the way Whisper reacts to it is the heartbreaking part. She's all too familiar with tragically losing her friends, which is why she's apprehensive to making new relationships in the first place. But against all odds, she's grown such an affinity for Tangle to the point where she's back to square one after learning the news of her infection. Whisper is barely in this issue, but she and her VA steal the show here. Genuinely got me tearing up...

I cannot give individual praises because everyone, and I mean everyone, did such a beautiful job. From the VAs to the score to the editing, everyone did such an incredible job and I can tell you all put everything in for this dub. Hats off to you as a team, Adrenaline Dubs!

6:31 I can't explain how perfect this is. I thought the art portrayed her sadness in the best way, and that nothing could make it better. I was easily proven wrong, that voice really sounded like she lost someone she truly cared about. God damn, actually had me get some goosebumps. These VAs are awesome.

This one made me burst into tears. Bro, Cream being dead inside, Tails losing hope, Whisper losing almost everything to her...this episode broke my heart.

Scrillow did an amazing job as Whisper. I can't stress how emotionally devastating that crying scene was. Probably the most heartbreaking scene that I've ever witnessed in a Sonic product. Even Maria's death was never executed in such a emotional way. Great job, everyone!

3:35 She still knows how to be optimistic in the worst of times😂

Like Vector before her, Tangle went out like a champ.

5:16 I love this moment where Tngle cheers up Sonic. It's a reversal on his usual role in the story, and interesting to see him start to lose hope as he's pushed to the brink. It takes someone who not only still believes in hope, but places that hope into him to keep his head above water. Just when he starts to doubt his moral philosophy and what his kindness has led to, she picks him back up to let him see all the good that kindness continues to offer. This arc is filled with some really heartwrenching scenes as things just get worse and worse, so seeing a speck of hope even in those moments is so crucial to making the whole storyline work.

The person who voiced Whisper did an absolute fantastic job!!!

Actual chills when Whisper screamed. I wasn't prepared for how horrific her breakdown was going to sound.

Losing Tangle is like losing half of my heart...

I legit just discovered you TODAY. All of this work is absolutely astounding! I absolutely love the storyline, all the suspense is killing me! I can’t wait for the premiere!

This issue is by far my favorite. It just shows how optimistic Tangle is, how much Whisper cares about her, how desperate everyone is, and it gives Sonic character beyond "Gotta Go Fast". You guys did a perfect job portraying everything and I really enjoyed it.

When i first read this comic, i wasnt ready for the dread Now that i know how great yall are at adrenaline dubs and how yall have killed it dubbing the idw and archie comics, I am not mentally prepared I cant wait Edit: yup wasnt mentally prepared, music: 10/10 voice work: IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION?! 100/10 editing:10/10

Watching it again I think one of the parts that makes me tear up the most is 5:11 Just the way the music sweels to this peppy, upbeat, downright _heroic_ melody as Tangle looks in the face of danger and the closest thing to death in these comics and still keeps _smiling_ in spite of it all and despite how afraid she probably is. Really just accentuates why I love her so much as a character.

The fact Whisper lost her friends within the Diamond Cutters and now Tangle really hits ya after you seen the Tangle and Whisper Mini series.

Words can't even describe how amazing this issue was. The voice acting, the music, the sound effects, the emotions, the- uuuugh! Everyone did an amazing job! I could literally feel Whisper's heartbreak when she heard about Tangle! I cannot wait for the next issue; keep it up Adrenaline Dubs! 👍

Yo Scrillow fucking killed it! The way she screamed out for Tangle was so raw and emotional I fucking loved it it! Honest to God that was the part I was looking forward to the most and I was not disappointed at all. Can't wait to see more from you guys :D

How’s this for an emotional gut punch, this hits even more harder than Techno Cinema’s video and that’s saying something. Tangle’s transformation is beautifully done and Whisper’s sorrow is amazing, capturing her animalistic pain about losing someone she loved once again. You guys keep knocking out of the park and I’m here for this ride until it’s finished, keep it up

I know I’m late but this has to be the most saddest sonic comic ever

God I love this dub so much, each voice sounds so natural. I wanna compliment the voice actors but honestly I feel like the direction is the biggest standout. The people handling this entire project are so incredibly talented.

This...was...insane! The drama, intensity, everything was perfect!

I have never been a fan of comic dubs EVER. But you guys. Your voices, the editing, everything you guys do makes this easily the BEST Sonic comic dubs I ever seen. Everyone has done such an amazing job. I cannot wait to see the rest of this arc! :)

The way Whisper screamed Tangled, that gave me goosebumps and tears. She already lost her bestest of friends and she cant lose more. And she just did. This really gets me... They did such a good job on the comic.

I knew it was coming, and 6:32 *still* broke me. That delivery was visceral.
