Even before it hit the comic book shelves this week, people were going crazy about the first encounter between Batman and Shadow DC X Sonic #1. For good reason: it is ridiculous in the best way, the way to cross is ridiculous, but at the same time it is totally sincere, which is great. However, the best part of their brief dynamics in this question is what follows.
Overall premise DC X Sonic #1, Ian Flynn, Adam Bryce Thomas, Matt Herms and Becca Carey, are the standards for crossover courses. Darkseid appears in Sonic’s world in the tiny planet-sized version of his own face, seeking a chaotic emerald to make the power surpass even the anti-life equation and immediately begins to escape the paradise about the place. Suddenly, Sonic and all his friends fought back against the new allies in the form of Justice League in the United States.
These pairings are also obvious, but still interesting: knuckles and superman’s belief in their respective duties; cyborgs and tails’ weird techniques; naturally, the sound and flash are arrogant lads who try to work with each other because of the fastest life, man or hedgehog. Of course, like two emo kids at the party for kids in the same corner, Shadow and Batman are attracted to each other. Well, more precisely, they tend not to want to be part of the large group.
This is where the virus moments are coming from this issue, and the shadows are already sick in the prospect of the best-ever team without having to work with all these new heroes. Of course, Batman definitely determines why he explores the kinship between the Dark Knight and the ultimate form of life in a compassionate way, making sure he clearly shows who he is, and there are people like them on this wide table.
it yes A great moment even goes beyond “Batman the Hedgehog and Shadow talk about Waynes and Maria’s tolerance, it’s also some form of comic book Canon.” Like I said OK Cross-border stories are comforting in the fanatical absurdity of moments like this, but express them in sincerity, and that is the moment. It’s not a joke, it’s not a similar joke about Shadow and Batman, mentioning the similarity between Bruce’s loss of parents and Shadow loss of Maria is not a joke, like fans applauding her into Sonic 3. It’s just that these two people adjust each other in scale, recognize their strengths, and find a way to drive this recognized.
Yes! it’s great. But this is not the best Batman/Shadow Moment DC X Sonic #1. Shortly after that, there was a little bit short.
Once Shadow believes in Blues, it’s worth playing with the rest of the league to stop Darkseid, Sonic, his allies and Justice League from starting pairing and performing separate missions. When we see Sonic and the league really start to connect, we get a really interesting set of groups, and their conversation panel is filled with back and forth conversations as both sides across the border start to find friendship and common ground with each other. You can then go to the last panel of the page, Batman and Shadow Zoom in the bike. Yes Silent. The only noise was the rumbling of their bike engine.
It’s their perfect encapsulation as a pair and why they are so different from their respective allies. The resilience of this with almost no panel discussions before, the Breeze Dialogue is an interesting contrast, but it shows how Bruce and Shadow’s relationship does not require bonding or pleasure: they have estimated each other’s estimates, they have work to do, and are doing it. What else do you need to say?
This is a moment real Get who they are and who they will be, and that comes again and is a fun and fun crossover mix of sincerity. All gags and charm DC X Sonic Great, but a small moment like this has made it click, and it’s a great crossover.
