I read this to my children and they really enjoyed it. The illustrations were well drawn and made the story come alive. Highly recommend.

This is my first Sonic the Hedgehog comic. It’s about two characters in the Sonic universe: Tangle and Whisper. They encounter a villain, who is a former friend of Whisper. The problem is that this villain, Mimic, can transform into other people, including Sonic. They have to stay on their toes to figure out who is real and who is Mimic.

This graphic novel started out with some short comics about friendship. Each comic had a different set of friends, such as Tangle and Whisper or Sonic and Tails. They had to work together to battle robbers and get justice, or figure out how to build a garden together. These were cute stories to start of the graphic novel. Usually there are short comics at the end of a graphic novel, after the main story, so this one was unique since it started off with them.

It was really cute to see how the other characters idolized Sonic. Some of them even had a Sonic fan club. They liked to copy his racing style, including how he could turn into his ballform to race faster. I liked seeing how Sonic was a celebrity in his own world. It made the story more relatable, since people can be fans of Sonic in real life too.

This was a great graphic novel for fans of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Thank you IDW Publishing for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

'Sonic the Hedgehog: Tangle & Whisper' by Ian Flynn with art by Evan Stanley is about a series of characters I don't remember from the Sonic games I played, but that was a really long time ago.

While Sonic does make a few appearances as well as other characters, this book is mostly about Tangle, the energetic lemur, and Whisper, the quiet wolf who is against any kind of contact. Whisper is hunting down Sonic, but it turns out there is more to the story than that, and it ties in to a big past hurt that Whisper has. Can her friend Tangle help her out, or will Tangle just jeopardize things?

I was unfamiliar with these characters, but they are pretty interesting and I enjoyed the stories here. There are a few lighter story before the main one kicks in. The art is pretty good too. This would be a fun read for younger video game fans.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from IDW Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

This is the first Sonic manga I've read, but I really enjoyed it. It was a fun and easy story to follow and I really enjoyed the characters.

I read this with my grandson who is an avid Sonic fan. He really enjoyed this story. The graphics are great and it is a fun read. Any Sonic the Hedgehog fan will completely enjoy this book.

Tangle is ready for some action and adventure of her own after experiencing the thrill of fighting bad guys with Sonic. When Sonic runs through town being chased by Tangle’s friend Whisper, her opportunity comes. Something isn’t right, and Tangle is going to help stop it.
I was confused at first because there are a few short comic strips with Sonic and friends before getting into the episode the title refers to. The story is fast-paced and exciting to read, giving readers more insight into these side characters, Tangle and Whisper. It’s a fun read with beloved characters, as long as you’re into Sonic.

When it comes to the modern Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, there are things people hate and people sticking to the classic series. But IDW's run shows how some of the big messes and bigger elements of the franchise can become more imaginative. Tangle and Whisper are actually customized avatars made into fully fledged characters. That's one of the biggest appeals to the Sonic franchise, people have ideas they can create and with the right direction can be made into something huge.

Whisper looks like one of those characters gamers would love to play as for her abilities revolving around her tail. Not to mention her bubbly personality can make up for some of the more dire parts of the franchise. Whisper meanwhile looks like she's ready to make more character developments. By giving elements from the Sonic Forces games better context there's a story to them and makes them memorable. A silent protagonist becomes an all-rounder looking for payback and wants friends after the battle. More importantly she wants to make more friends and keep them safe.

Finally there comes the introduction to this trade where characters and different parts of the world come into focus. There are some genuinely interesting parts that don't require the blue blur to be around and they can still be as entertaining. From the skunk duo of Rough & Tumble to the Babylon Rogues actually acting like thieves. Might appeal more to fans of the franchise but it's also a good place to start.
