Tbh one of the things I was thinking of with the new issue of IDW sonic was 100% shadow, like of course I cared about everyone else in the comic. But after what happened to him in issue 19 I wondered how he would grow after the zombot arc was over

Was he just gonna forget his mistake and never talk about it and act the same

Or was he actually gonna admit his mistake and have some character development?

And surprisingly he actually ADMITTED to his mistake and is actually thinking about it and isn't just throwing it to the side and forgetting about it, he wants to grow from it saying sonic was right and should've took his warning seriously and not think it was cowardly and him saying "I owe him. Now he's gone. that's all." snapping out of the thought And rouge's face after he says it gives me confident that shadow is changing and growing from his mistake and rouge knows, I'm proud of him

I guess the life form miscalculation moment was werid but I can look past that he still needs time to think

Kinda sad he didn't come to the party but I know he just needs more time to think about what happened a little more and i understand that completely

Thanks Ian flynn for a soild shadow the hedgehog scene 🖤
