I like that Shadow is being moody, it makes an interesting parallel. Maria is almost dying yet is bright and happy, while Shadow is the immortal one yet feeling down.
Shadow actually cries. A Sonic character outside of the archie comics shows genuine emotion. This is what I want going forward, characters that aren't just an archetype and actually show emotions outside of happy and mad.
What about whisper in idw she shows lots of emotions I think she’s the first sonic character I’ve actually seen have a mental breakdown before or cry and it was after tangle got infected
@hi-kc7bl That scene was a breath of fresh air, but I heard they were allowed to do that only because she was an IDW original character rather than created by Sega 😮💨
The art is amazing, and the tiny details to explore more of Shadow and Maria’s friendship. I think it makes sense for Shadow to be serious even before the events that led to SA2. He has a purpose he was created for, and struggles to fulfill. Plus, I always thought his Black Arms genes contributed to his personality a bit, as they’re not exactly that emotional or friendly. Oh, you read French? That’s really cool!
the first chapter of Shadow centric manga was amazing and I love how they expanded on few things like the Ark massacre, Shadow and Maria's relationship and Maria was shinning in this chapter she felt more like her own character abet slightly than a plot device when she was first introduced also the scientists aboard the Ark many people headcanon or speculate that they may be or not was not very kind to Shadow and this manga show bits of that with that one scientists that looks like a comic relief character glazing Shadow earlier in this chapter but he ungratefully sold Shadow out to save his own skin after Shadow saved him from nearly getting kill by Gun soldiers which made me not feel bad for him and he deserves what ended coming to him later
I agree I love the art style and I can’t say this enough the facial expressions I always love seeing them on characters brings so much depth to them 🥹🥹🥹
I wonder what the main point of this plot will be? I would love to see from this point forward, to when Shadow was born and his relationship with Maria and how Black Arms came to Gerald.
More than likely Black Doom’s trying to mess with Shadow and his memories, forcing him to relive the moment when Maria died to try to put him into a weakened mental state, so he’d be easier to manipulate. Black Doom’s most likely doing the same thing to Shadow in the Dark Beginnings prologue animation.
@@SonicAndre2For the prologue animation, it's not even a speculation that Black Doom is messing with Shadow's memories but a fact. Check the description of the teaser of the prologue animation on the Sonic the Hedgehog channel. It mentions that a force that Shadow thought was destroyed( ie Black Doom) is behind those painful memories Shadow is living again.
I am a Sega and I will die on that Hill being a Sega fan And also nice video great review man hope you do continue making more great videos like this And hopefully someday you and I get to collab on some stuff as well 🎉😎👍

I thought this chapter was awesome. It was serious and had actual drama and emotion rather than being a gag strip, which I was concerned about. My only question is: why was the time aborad the ARK so short? I thought they would flesh that out a lot more. Is it going to jump straight to the Sonic x Shadow plot next?

This is such a strong start. If he continue with this momentum, they should make him a main writer for the IDW comic as well but only specifically for Shadow.

Wow never thought about it that way before
I am glad Shadow's story is not "i used to be goofy and friendly but after what happened to Maria, i am now serious"

also the scientists aboard the Ark many people headcanon or speculate that they may be or not was not very kind to Shadow and this manga show bits of that with that one scientists that looks like a comic relief character glazing Shadow earlier in this chapter but he ungratefully sold Shadow out to save his own skin after Shadow saved him from nearly getting kill by Gun soldiers which made me not feel bad for him and he deserves what ended coming to him later
Loved it, and looking forward to more. The manga emphasizes even more how tragic Shadow's origins are.
The vampire lord and the steel girl mention 💃💃💃
The Shadow/Maria story is one of my favorite parts of the series, second to Gamma's arc. Needless to say, I'm eating good this year.
It’s at times like this where I hate being born in America. Why must I need to speak English when Shadow The Hedgehog isn’t???
I am always saying this
To make you feel better, sonic canonically speaks English.
I don't understand what this comment is saying.
I agree I love the art style and I can’t say this enough the facial expressions I always love seeing them on characters brings so much depth to them 🥹🥹🥹
i thought kill la kill already had a manga
I'm hoping we get a translation. A French one would be cool too, since I'm learning it. It's cool to hear that you can read it!
I wonder what the main point of this plot will be? I would love to see from this point forward, to when Shadow was born and his relationship with Maria and how Black Arms came to Gerald.
The question I ask myself: Is this manga part of the timeline?
Is Black Doom playing with space time to torture Shadow?
@Sonicmid I rather think that Black doom manipulates time space to make Shadow experience distorted past events.
More than likely Black Doom’s trying to mess with Shadow and his memories, forcing him to relive the moment when Maria died to try to put him into a weakened mental state, so he’d be easier to manipulate.

@@islamforever5875 Right, right, right, right. Sorry. I honestly hadn’t read through the description of the teaser’s video in a while.
I hope it gets an english translation and released worldwide.
Is really great to see this manga, i'm looking forward for more!
The Japanese finally wrote something for the Sonic series again! Hallelujah!

I'm in the camp that didn't know it was out already. I'm glad that chapter 1 is a strong start!
wahoo
We need a new sonic anime like right now
this manga is better than fleetway

Does anyone know any other mature sonic related manga or comic?? ( Fan made or not i don't really care and also don't want to include ide and Archie

Well I mean of course IDW isn't doing a manga they do comics
it's the same thing, just a different name.
