PRIORITY Q&A Scurvy Piratehog We all know that the Death Egg is a parody of the Death Star, but in an episode of Sonic Boom, an alternate version of Eggman had a laser sword, so...what do you think the chances are that Eggman is secretly a huge Star Wars nerd?
DaniTheLight Ya know how Eggman does his performed announcement theatrics everytime he's back to doing a scheme? Does he practice it before broadcasting what he's doing with cubot and orbot as an audience or is that all freestyle? In fact does all villians practice their theatrical speech when revealing themself or do they freestyle and which one do you think has the most fun doing the theatrical "I'm here and doing another scheme!" part of villiany?
Speed Weed Now as with before, I'm not too sure if you're [familiar] with the Little Nightmares games, but what always gets me is that the first game had its own comic. [...] Long Story short though, it got canceled due to what I can only assume was a lack of interest at the time, but given the 2nd game's popularity and the sheer potential to expand on the overall eldritch world of the games, [...] would it be worth it to make another series of comics for it? Would you be interested in trying your hand at writing it or is it a little outta your comfort zone?
N'Oni Could Chaos get infected with the Metal Virus, and if so, how bad of a situation are we talking?
UnknowingFrown While Sonic and the Freedom Fighters had their memories of the old continuity, did they remember the people that were lost forever? So many characters had loved ones that were either erased from existence or replaced, and I always thought the implications of that were unsettling.
Scruffymatt I recently had an absolutely delightful experience playing Sonic 1 Master System remake, so I was wondering what some of your favourite Sonic fangames are?
Digamma so there was a big reveal in issue 4 of Tales of Aether; was said reveal your idea or a preexisting one of Dan's/some other Aether team member?
TheHoboJoe!!! Why, in your opinion, are Sonic and Tails such good friends?
Drewmaru Since Fang was confirmed to be a jerboa-wolf hybrid, have you been given any explanation on how that's possible? [...] And I might as well ask if his official name is Fang or if it's still Nack while Fang is his nickname just like how they did with Robotnik and Eggman?
Awf How come Neo Metal could go Super but Heavy King couldn't?

Scruffymatt The classic Sonic games compilations of the 2000s - Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Gems Collection - featured numerous bonus games you could unlock, including Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Get Blue Spheres, and a bunch of Game Gear games. But now there is a new classic Sonic games compilation on the horizon! What unlockable bonus games do you think should be included in Sonic Origins? I want to see Knuckles' Chaotix and SegaSonic the Hedgehog, regardless of the problematic hardware. Let. :clap: Mighty. :clap: And Ray. :clap: And the Chaotix. :clap: Out. :clap: To play. :clap: Again! Speed Weed what is the most memorable, stand-out moment for you playing throughout the franchise, or even your favorite moment in any external media (manga, comics, etc.)? What is your favorite Metroid game, and what are your hopes for the future of the franchise beyond Dread? Also just a little side thing for the sonic fan in all of us, what abilities would you think Samus would have while traversing Sonic's loop-filled world, beyond the usual classic abilities? Colors and other media can count too if you'd like to so include them. Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) Just for pure fun and hilarity (And let’s face it, that’s the best kind of reason)... How do you imagine a meeting between Cream the Rabbit.. and ELMER FUDD would go? And.. it’s "Wabbit Season." Diane W. What kind of ice cream flavour would each of the Sonic cast like? Dove So... Does Sega recognize Knuckles as : "Last of the Echidna" "Last guardian" "Last of the Knuckles Clan" Or some mix of the above? Because except for that first option, they leave room for there to be more Echidnas in the world. Just curious the official word on more monotremes. N'Oni When will [Aleah Baker] be back on the Bumblekast? Wulfsbane I found House of Cards to be one of the more interesting arcs as we got to see Tails be the "antagonist" for a few issues. We rarely, if ever, see the good guys be bad in Sonic. Though over the years, I heard a rumor that Sega and/or Archie only allowed Tails to be the "bad guy" for only 2 issues. Is there any truth to this? And, given the chance to do it again, what would be the changes you would make, assuming that you would want to make any changes? Awf In the preboot comics we had the ruling monarchy, and then, that oh so wonderful completely un-biased Council of Acorn the run the kingdom. Does the world of IDW having a ruling body? If their a king, queen,

Scruffymatt There have been so many memorable boss battles in the Sonic series over the last 30 years, but I was wondering what your personal favourites are? Classic, modern, end of zone, super Sonic end game epics... all are on the table here.
DaniTheLight If you could choose a way for Clutch to be defeated, what would you think would be justifiable from what he's done so far?
Jib I'm not sure if this is too on par in terms of what you already know from the last mighty question in the podcast but, I was curious what knuckles and mighty's dynamic is considering mania and idw
Diane W. I know what you did with Thrash was not your intended plans due to outside forces but do you think that Zonic or the other Zone Cops should’ve stepped in and arrested Thrash for his crimes against the entire echidna race, and have him imprisoned in the No Zone Jail and be separated from his sisters for the rest of his life?
Speed Weed
If you were to be given a chance to try your hand at injecting a bit of extra world building to Hollow Knight...what would you want to see expanded upon the most?
N'Oni In Lost World, Master Zik mentions that they'd much rather be tending their garden... so uh, what sort of things do ya think he's growing in there?
Scurvy Piratehog (Kofi) What the heck would a romance with Sticks the Badger be like?
Fionan M. [Are there two Central Cities between the two worlds? Is Green Hill Zone on the mainland now?]
Andrew D. [What is Ray's canon height/age?]
Dove (Kofi) Have there ever been plans for such a villain ["vampires"] that you know of? If not, would it be something you'd like to write?
SonicSonicsSonic Is there a possibility that there will be a comic where “certain” retcons in a certain series are addressed and the plot holes created by them are filled in. When the story it is run through a “certain group of people” it could provide some insightful feedback for “someone”to bring to a “certain”fandom Someway. dose this count as a fan idea I tried to make it a vague as possible so it dose not count.
Digamma A crossover between Metroid: Other M... and Other M?
Awf Question for Kyle: In light of Sonics recent anniversary concert, other gaming companies want to do an hour-long orchestrated concert of their video game music, and they're letting you pick! What gaming series do you choose to do a symphonic arrangement for?

PRIORITY Q&A DaniTheLight I was wondering If Mephiles will still show up as stated after the Scourge lockdown positive response even if Sega has more control of the series. And if he still exist or not. Cuz I along when many Mephiles fans are still waiting for his dark and awesome return, due to his potential being rushed just as they did with Infinite.
Digamma Was the 5th Sonic Comic Origins story (the one about Nicole's backstory) made alongside the first 4 (it basically finished the framing device story that also encompassed the first 4, and it had the same art team) but not published until a bit later to tie in with Spark of Life, or was it actually made later?
Diane W. So on a previous Q&A, you said that if a Zombot gets set on fire, it basically melts and dies, but would happen to a Zombot if it gets electrocuted?
Andrew D. If Geoffrey studied Ixian Magicks when he was younger, why did he choose not to use any when he was trying to kill Sonic during Endgame? [Didi the] Tails Doll concept design had a spherical gem on its head like in the comic...?
Speed Weed If you're not allowed to LOOK at any fan content, does that also mean you're not allowed to, say, play a good ole session of AM2R or watch a video of a fan animation or anything...?
Happytimes (Kofi) How would you have done a crossover between the Classic series and the Battle Network series?
Scurvy Piratehog (Kofi) So..what would happen if Sonic took care of a Chao as the werehog?
PC-the-Unicorn Ian, how would you do Worlds Collide but if instead of Mega Man crossing over with Modern Sonic, Mega Man crossed over with Classic Sonic and Boom respectively?
Johnny_B_Goode What are your top 3-5 mysterious ancient civilizations with amazing technology that may or may not have destroyed themselves in Sonic media?
Hero of Light 13 Sonic and Kingdom Hearts crossover?
SaturnFlicky (KoFi) Do you have any thoughts on how long [Sonic, Mighty & Ray] all known each other...?
AWF For Ian and any other writers/artists, how to you cope with art/writer's block?
Scruffymatt What are each of your top 3 karaoke songs?
STANDARD Q&A Koopaling Krew ...might we be able to soon see another new character appear, this time from Silver's future...?

PRIORITY Q&A The Shadow Emperor (KoFi) Let's say you were adapting Shadow's game for IDW. Would you have Sonic and friends be morally conflicted about killing the Black Arms? Obviously in the game they don't seem at all bothered by slaughtering aliens en masse, but do you think that's consistent with their characters?
AwesomeCakester What character did you dislike, or even flat out hate in any media that at some point, whether it be through a different interpretation or just a reworking from the source material, you changed your opinion on to be an alright character or even becoming your favorite?
Scurvy Piratehog (Kofi) After taking a look at the solicitations for the upcoming issue 45 of IDW sonic, it made me wonder...the overall premise ( and the apparent absent of Sonic) makes it seem more fitting for a mini-series or a Sonic Universe like book... so.. overall my question is this. Do you think the IDW sonic series could benefit from having it’s own Sonic universe style book? With how well the comic is doing and how many people love it, I’d assume there is a market there for it, but what do you think?
DianeLionheart While were still on the subject of the Deadly Six, which of Sonic’s friends would have their own rivalry with each of the DS?
Speed Weed So now that Metroid Dread has risen back from the 20 year cryostasis that was its rumored development hell, what are your hopes and expectations from it? What did you like out of the reveal trailer? Anything that kinda rubs you the wrong way? Most importantly, what do you think of the EMMI robots?
Scruffymatt I apologise if this one's been asked before - it feels like the kind of question Ian's probably answered, but I didn't see it on the Q & A master list. We all know there was some really shoddy work done on the ArchieSonic comics prior to Ian taking the writing reigns in issue #160 - let's not dwell on that stuff. But there was some really fantastic work done in the book before Ian too. So my question for you both today is: what are some of your favourite issues, story arcs or moments from ArchieSonic, pre-Birthday Bash?
Fionan M. If angle island was never on earth dose that mean there was just a giant ring in sonic adventure some where on the train track and that’s how they can get from station spare to mystic ruins. And dose that mean the master emerald shards where hurled through space if some landed on earth

PRIORITY Q&A Somebody (KoFi) Hi Ian, I got caught up on IDW Sonic and I enjoy what you're doing with the Deadly Six and think they have a neat roll as villains in the series and want to know what your mindset was when writing them. As now they have some kind of depth to them now thanks to you.
Scruffymatt Hey fellas, hope you're both having an excellent day! So how about that Sonic Symphony? It made my heart so happy! What were the highlights for each of you? Was there any music you were hoping for that was overlooked?
Happytimes (KoFi) So nice to finally see Mighty, Ray, and the Hooligans again! Writing for the characters of the classic series, did you learn anything about how Sega wants to portray them that differs from their Archie selves, like how Fang uses his original name instead of Nack?
N'Oni The statue breaking part [of time-frozen victims], does that instantly, fully kill them, or is their mind still stuck in the void with the knowledge if time was returned, they'd instantly die?
Andrew D. What happened to the Shadow Androids after they killed those Diamond Cutters members?
Digamma Can you just talk generally about your experiences writing the 30th Anniversary Special? Any fun behind the scenes facts?
AWF So, now that Sonic Revo has come and gone, what did you think about it?
Feed (KoFi) If you were given complete creative freedom to crossover Sonic with the Rabbids what would you do. Don’t be afraid to go crazy.
Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) In issue 41 of IDW Sonic. Out of curiosity..How many people die? ... And Speaking of the Zeti...It seems like all they want to do is just "Destroy" things...is that the difference between Zavok and Eggman?
SonicSonicsSonic Dose tails even own anything in his workshop since no political system means no legal system or can someone just go and take it ....how can police exist without a political system. If there is a village chief in windmill village how dose that work if there is no political system involved ...How do city’s in sonics world function without a political system
Fionan M. Dose saga still consider it to be two planets in two sperate dimensions Or just two planets in one dimension. Since giant rings are used to enter the special stages dose that mean the characters travel in the special stages to get to the two worlds or is it like that giant ring in sonic 3 and knuckles witch transported sonic straight to the master emerald shrine. And how do the chaos emeralds travel between the two wo...

PRIORITY Q&A Speed Weed So, have either of you played Hollow Knight by chance? If not, I highly recommend it, great metroidvania, but if so, how do you feel about that dark souls-like troupe of NPCs giving off dialogue for world-building in a depressing bug game like that? And also, what would be your favorite aspect of the game, world or lore reason included, if you have one? Finally, are you all for the eldritch abyss or the eldritch living gods of the world? That last part is less of an overall hollow knight question, more of a very specific hollow knight question to satisfy my burning desire to discuss those obscure bits of hollow knight lore.
Diane W. What were you go-to kids channel to watch your favourite shows everyday; Fox Kids, WB Kids, Cartoon Network, or Nickelodeon? I know this isn't really my place to ask since I'm British, I mostly grew up with the likes of CBBC, and CiTV, but because I've been watching videos from a YouTuber about the shows that they've grew up with, it got me curious hear what shows or TV channels people like you grew up on. Thanks.
STANDARD Q&A Tik Tik Recently, we found out about something that Batman cannot do, which has caused a bit of a stir online becuase "heroes don't do that." Ian (and Kyle, if you'd like), consider the major adult characters of your various works. Would you consider them "selfish lovers?"
SkullxCake Will we ever see Dr. Eggman and Dr. Starline teaming up again in the future? Or are they done for good?

PRIORITY Q&A Scruffymatt Imagine that one night Iiuzaka-San kicks down your door, grabs you by the shirt, and says, "Ian my child, we're making a fighting game starring only SEGA characters. It's like Super Smash Brothers, except it's totally not Super Smash Brothers. Also, I want you to decide on the character roster. Ask your friend Kyle to colllaborate with you on this." And then he drops a smoke bomb and vanishes into the night. So, which SEGA characters will be duking it out on the fields of honour, and who will fail to make the cut?
Renard I was rereading Mega Man #53 recently and came to the grim realization that at some point before Mega Man 7, every Robot Master from Mega Man 1 would likely be decommissioned. This made me wonder...just when and how were you going to play this out? How would it affect Rock and company, do the Robot Masters just accept this without question, and how was it going to hit Rock when he witnessed Wily making off with Guts Man's deactivated body, fighting it as Guts Man G, and then probably destroying one of his longest lasting family members for good? I truly adore the way you handled the existentialism in the Mega Man comic, I feel you perfectly managed to make the series a little bit more than "blue robot kid fights old man, old man apologizes, repeat" without making it feel like it forced in any way.
Diane W. On a previous BumbleKast, you stated that Knuckles wouldn’t be allowed to use his Archie exclusive powers and abilities in IDW because… well, it’s his Archie counterpart’s abilities. Can he still use his other abilities such as Massive Heat Knuckles Attack, and Thunder Arrow, and his Level Up items like his Shovel Claw, and his Hammer Gloves, in IDW?
ScurvyPiratehog (KoFi) This year not only marks Sonic’s 30th but also the 30th anniversary of Dr Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik! Could you maybe just gush about him a little? How he’s evolved how He’s the best Sonic villain, the perfect arch-enemy for Sonic, and...just celebrate The mad genius we love to hate!
Speed Weed So, now I got something to ask about Mega Man, given a question that was asked a while back about the connection between Ra Moon and the Star Droids: How do you feel about Evil Energy, the Roboenza virus, and even the Maverick virus possibly being related to each other? Or at least, whatever is theorized anyways, given the similarities they share between each other and what obscure lore exists about them as a whole,

PRIORITY Q&A N'Oni What would it be like working for Dr. Starline? Are there any dangers one should be aware of working for him? How quickly is the door locked behind you?
Diane W. How would’ve Sticks handled the Black Arms invasion, the Shattered World Crisis, and the War to Take Back the Planet, but not all at once?
Jib You’ve gotten so many “disappointment” questions about Shadow it’s a bit of a bummer. So I was curious to hear what you like about Shadow, and if there’s anything with his current portrayal that you do enjoy writing with, or witnessing being written with him. Maybe any moments in IDW too with him with that you enjoyed?
Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) Aside from Sonic, Eggman's other two most prominent enemies in comic history seems to be Zavok and Naugus. How do you think those two would get along? Would they like each other? hate each other? And who would win in a fight?
Scruffymatt In the old SatAM cartoon, Robotnik had a habit of calling Sonic a "miserable rodent." This struck me as a bit odd, as Sonic is an incredibly upbeat character. Sure, he had his moments of sadness from time to time, but the only character in that show I would say was miserable was Snively (and possibly Antoine). So what's the deal? I mean... did Robotnik not know what that word means?
Jeff G (KoFi) I'm a long time Sonic comic collector. I stopped when the Archie series went away, but I'm getting back into comics again thanks to your show! Question: How do you show off all these excellent books? It kills me to keep them in a longbox...
AWF Breezie. Archie comics. Robot or not?
Andrew D. You’ve spoken on multiple occasions about how SEGA would disagree on something that clearly was plausible such as the Master Emerald effecting the Chaos Emeralds. In those instances, have you ever attempted to call them out on their mistake by providing examples and asking what exactly was happening at that moment instead? I understand not wanting to bite the hand that feeds and that it is SEGA’s property, but I wonder at times if they just need a reminder is all. Unless they’re aiming for a retcon. Personally, if I was in charge of a property and you pointed out something like that, I don’t think I could just ignore it, but that’s just me I guess. Perhaps the difference is I’d care about my property’s consistency when they don’t? Or am I missing something? I’d like to think SEGA cares about their property enough to stay consistent. Speed Weed

PRIORITY Q&A Speed Weed Given the recent discussion of a Worlds Collide scenario between Mario and Sonic, how would you feel about a Metroid-Sonic crossover?
Diane W Sally Acorn and Amy Rose are the perfect BFFs. Do you agree or disagree?
Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) So, I'm curious...how different are Pre-reboot and post-reboot Snively from each other? Personality wise, opinions on Eggman, ETC ETC ETC ETC.
Digamma What are the production lead times for various states of production (writing, art, colors, letters, 100% finish) for Tales of Aether compared to your average industry comic?
King Toasty (KoFi) If you could both choose a single villain to join (or rejoin) the games as a reoccurring character, who would it be?
RedScarfUK Ian and Kyle, what do you think were the highlights (and lowlights) of the first Sonic Central presentation?
N'Oni Why didn't Eggman just ask one of the roboticized knothole residents where Knothole was?
Andrew D. How do you decide how/when to kill off a character?
AfroLuffyX As far as I remember you said that scourge is a coward at heart and he wants justification for his actions can you elaborate on the idea of scourges character
TK Were there ever any plans to pair Tails up with someone who likes him back after Fiona? Or was love just never in the cards for foxboy?
BlueTidalGamer To both of you. If you could only take one book with you on a deserted island, what genre of book would it be to help you cope with being deserted?
Scruffymatt So Ian, when is the Sonic commercial starring you going to be released? Is it today? It's gonna be today, right? :D
AWF For Ian and Kyle: How have y'all been lately? No one ever seems to ask.
STANDARD Q&A Tik Tik What exactly does the Master Emerald do?
Dove What would you say is the reason [Mega Man didnt hold on to abilities]? Also, with his advanced systems, why wouldn't X be able to keep them?
PC-The-Unicorn Ian, exactly how much free will does Metal Sonic have in the IDW Continuity?
Gawdzilla Ian, say you were the Commissioner of the SSWF (SUPER SONIC WRESTLING FEDERATION), who would be your headliner for Sonicwrestlemania?
Piggybank in the Rise of Infinite digital comic, Infinite had a really cool red sword. ... did the really cool sword have any other attributes to it beyond looking cool ...?
MikeB Chao are like servbots right? Would they prefer spaghetti or curry rice? Or whatever the heck A, B, C, or D lunches are suppose to be?
Who is the BEST robot Sonic?

PRIORITY Q&A Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) If Modern Eggman, Boom Eggman, Jim Carrey's Robotnik and Satam Robotnik went into inter-dimensional war against each other...how would it go, and who would be victorious? Who would win "The War of the Eggmen"?
RedScarfUK follow-up to Scurvy Piratehog: So, now we know which Eggman/Robotnik would win (maybe), here's another one: Mama Robotnik vs Mombot, who would win?
Speed Weed Alright this is another question that's that's pushed into the forefront of my brain: If Sonic had a hobbies, would it involve tagging Eggman monorails with rad, totally-not-Jet Set Radio-tier street art?
TerravancerYoh (KoFi) During your entire career writing the Sonic Comics have you had any notable "Eureka" moments that you could speak of, along with any favorite call backs or ties of continuity that you were able to pull together?
Diane W. What was the best Pokémon team you ever had from every last entry in the main series?
Digamma Why is the (hopefully first) Tales of Aether miniseries about Clarien? Was it your idea or Dan's?
The Shadow Emperor (KoFi) Ultra Serious Question: What would happen if someone pressed the Monkey Destruction Switch next to Monkey Khan? (If you don't remember what that is, it's a one-off item Knuckles uses to destroy a Kiki gatekeeper in SA1.)
AWF Ever played the Mass Effect games? If not, play them. If so, what did you think? Favorite class? Favorite character? Favorite romantic pairing?
Hero of Light 13 Just how old is Sonic supposed to be these days?
Andrew D. To what extent do you stay away from fan material? Do you try to stay away from fan characters as well? What happens if you accidentally view something you’re not supposed to?
Scruffymatt Who is the best robotic Sonic doppleganger that is not Metal Sonic?
STANDARD Q&A maybetoby what was the point in the Freedom Fighters getting their pre-reboot memories back if the memories were just going to fade over time?
Adam There are a lot of moral dilemmas in the metal virus saga, where did you get the inspiration for them? did you, perhaps base them on real world events like the black plague or leper colonies?
Geo How would it be like if Tangle, Whisper, Jewel, Starline, Rough, Tumble, Mimic, and Belle met Megaman cast and how would the IDW characters roles play out in Worlds Unite.
Aaron M. since im gonna be writing my own sonic fan comic series I was wondering do you guys have any writing tips for me or any tips at all?

PRIORITY Q&A Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) When they had the license, Archie Comics published comics based on the Sonic TV Shows, like Sonic X and Sonic Boom. And considering that IDW has published comics based on the different TMNT shows...what are the chances we could possibly see a "Sonic Prime" Comic series from IDW?
PC-The-Unicorn Ian, are you always surprised when a Sonic ship either gets a spike in popularity or becomes popular due to how you write the two interacting, or have you gotten to a point to expect it? I recall you mentioning being surprised by how popular Tangle x Whisper got, but were you also surprised by similar instances such as Knuxamy due to the Shattered Arc, Tails x Honey from the Champions arc, and Shadaze due to Sonic Universe #1 and the Treasure Team Tango arc?
TheHoboJoe!!! Ian, you said that Jeff Smith's Bone was a big inspiration/reference for you. Bone is genuinely one of if not my favorite published works and I'd love to hear you two just talk about it. Do you have any experience with it Kyle? Do you have a favorite volume? (Great Cow Race is Near perfect in my eyes). As beloved as it is, I don't hear a ton of talk about Bone and I'd like to hear your perspective (And what are your thoughts on quiche?)
Diane W. Would Shadow listen to modern rock...?
AWF You [have[ the ability to turn any one video game franchise of your choosing into a comic, movie, or television series. Which game do you choose?
SonAmy Channel (KoFi) Why is it that Amy can't do spin dashes like Cream & the others?
Digamma What's it like being assistant editor on Tales of Aether?
Andrew D. Let’s pretend you were given the ok to write a crossover between IDW Sonic and Archie Sonic. How would you handle this?
Speed Weed How much of a horror story would you get out of the SA-X being thrown into Sonic's world, given what the SA-X represents in Metroid: Fusion?
MikeB Why do some people (including ourselfs) care very deeply to have their innermost (or profoundly public) ideas about the blue blur... put out for mass media consumption?
RobotnikHolmes What would you create if you had all the Badnik parts at your disposal?
Pan Dulce (KoFi) What kind of streams did Eggman do? And which ones were Starline's favorites or the ones he enjoyed the most?
Hero of Light 13 What would happen if the Chaotix Detective Agency found themselves on a case where they had to collaborate with a certain Freelance Police duo?
Scruffymatt

PRIORITY Q&A Pan Dulce (KoFi) Hi Ian! Some fans and I noticed that Eggman was acting different during the Metal Virus arc, being more careless than usual. Was this because he was still affected by his amnesia episode, a plot device to make Starline disappointed or just the direction that SEGA wanted with him?
Scruffymatt Can you think of a quote from any Sonic media - be it games, comics, tv shows, movies, or hell, even those weird choose your own adventure books! - that is a fitting description of you? (If either of you choose, "SnooPING AS usual?!" that's nooo good. :P)
Andrew D. The Sonic and Mario video game universes have swapped. Sonic is now a portly plumber saving Princess Rose from the tyrannical King Eggman. Mario is now the fastest thing alive stopping Dr. Bowser from conquering the world. What other changes exist, and who is who? Side note: I can’t imagine King Eggman would have any interest in marrying Princess Rose, unless all their ages swapped, too. Bonus: Now you have access to alternate media. Is Princess Rose now Princess Acorn? Is Bivalve the new Calamity Clam? You guys decide!
AWF I understand a certain level of professional unbiased-ness is required, but what's your personal thoughts on fan groups that advocate for the return of old characters, like Rally4Sally, SaveCosmo, and JoinGun? Do you think groups like that are wasting their time and energy, or do you think it's still good for fans to have groups like that where they can come together and show their support?
Digamma looking back at archie and you know what I miss from Archie? Backup stories. I know you don't have any power over this, but does David M listen to the bumblekast? I'd bet IDW could benefit from having backup stories from time to time. Not every 4-issue arc needs a full 80 pages, some of them could do with only 60. You could even have backup stories from guest writers and such. Then again I don't think IDW books in general usually do backup stories. The only ones I can think of are TMNT Universe and Star Wars Adventures. Closest thing we get otherwise are Annuals (and 30th anniversary special). But still, Ya hear me David?
SpeedWeed (KoFi) So, kinda related to some writing concepts, but for either Ian or Kyle: What makes a good Doppleganger character for you? And I mean doppleganger in the sense of Metal Sonic, Dark Samus (best one imo) Bass, etc. And also, who IS your favorite doppleganger antagonist if I can ask?
DianeLionheart What would Tangle,
What would happen if Whisper and Nack got into a sniper battle? At the carnival?

PRIORITY Q&A SonAmy Channel Since Team Metal was confirmed as SEGA's idea & not Archie Comics', if allowed to, how would you introduce Metal Amy & Metal Tails into IDW Sonic, what type of rivalry would Metal Amy & Metal Tails have with Amy & Tails & what would be Team Metal's dynamics in IDW?
Andrew D. I've seen people making movesets for various characters as if they were in a classic styled Sonic game like Mania, such as Sally with Nicole and Metal Sonic. What are some ideas you'd have for how any Sonic characters from various media might play in this style? I'd love to one day see the Freedom Fighters and the Metal dopplegangers as well as other classic characters like the Hooligans, Amy, and really anyone. I suppose that's where mods come in, but that's besides the point. Jet the Hawk? Pseudo Sonic? Eggman himself? Go ahead and go crazy!
Scurvy Piratehog With the recent reveal of GUN appearing in the Sonic movie sequel..what are your hopes for the movie? I personally hope for focus on Sonic and Tails's brotherly bond, Jim Carrey Going full Eggman, and possibility of Metal Sonic.
Happytimes Whisper and Nack compete against each other in the greatest challenge for sharpshooters: those rigged carnival shooting games. How does it go? (For extra potential havoc, Tangle, Jewel, Bean and Bark could also be there at the carnival)
AWF In an alternate reality where Mobians are Zeti and Zeti are Mobians, what species would each of the Deadly Six be? Also, someone pls draw Sonic and friends as Zeti now.
Zavok Simping Soni I've noticed that the Flickies from 3D Blast have appeared in the comics despite 3D Blast being a Classic game so what's up with that? Are those types of Flickies considered Modern as well since it's all in the same species?
Diane W. Who created the Chaos Emeralds?
GLITCHIEST Are you allowed to engage with fanworks and such, working on official media like this?....will you ever be allowed to release drafts/'what could've been' scripts, or is it strictly under an NDA?
TheHoboJoe!!! Have you given any thought about potential [crossover] ideas...(and why is it Ninja Turtles)?
Scruffymatt ...[Could] you two just gush about the Muppets franchise for a little bit? Favourite series/episodes? Favourite movies? Favourite characters?
STANDARD Q&A Dove What is Dr. Starline's full name?
Tik Tik [Is the] 30th Anniversary Special be canonical to the IDW books...? Gawdzilla

PRIORITY Q&A Chris A. Is there any chance that the Archie Sonic characters might show up in idw sonic?
AfroLuffyX In a alternative universe how would you re-write the endgame arc in Pre-reboot Archie Sonic
Sony N. I'm currently making my own comics and finally finished issue one's pencils. I'm mostly an artist but I write my own stories. When I write my scripts I tend to do a paragraph a page. Or a paragraph = one page. How do you do it? Do you do it panel by panel, page by page? I know it'll be different since you're writing to the artist.. but what tips do you have for when the writer is the artist. Basically I'm a one man show trying to make it and making progress.. but slow progress.
GLITCHIEST With the metal virus and zombotification, when someone's effectively zombotified do they retain any level of awareness (such as how satAM handled roboticization as kind of 'I have no mouth and I must scream' situation), or is it more like they're basically brain-dead and unaware until cured?
GLITCHIEST If Sonic had been fully zombot-ified, how would he behave? Would he basically be another addition to the slow-moving, shambling masses of zombots, would he be a high-risk super-speed kinda' zombot or would he retain his sense of self like he did during the werehog transformation?
Hero of Light 13 Isn't it reasonable to assume that [Sonic] still has a house of his own that he occasionally scurries back to between adventures?
Hero of Light 13 My question is can't Sonic CD fit comfortably between Sonic 2 and 3?
AWF What does Whisper keep in those little pods under her jacket? Are they some kind of explosives, or do they contain her Wisps? If the later, does that mean Wisps can be caught like pokemon?

PRIORITY Q&A Johnny_B_Goode What are your favorite members of the X-Men? Past, present, future, or adaption versions? Whatever you prefer!
AWF For Ian (Kyle can answer, too. I like when Kyle gives his thoughts): How does someone get into writing comics books as a profession? How did you decide that you wanted to use your skills as a writer to earn a living? I know a lot of folks out there who are interested in getting into comics to do the visual aspect, pencils, inking, coloring, etc, but not quite as many folks seem interested in the writing aspect. For you, was it more of a formal process, submitting applications/auditions, going thru the ol' interview process, or was is it more of a "you have to know someone on the inside" kind of deal? Just curious how all that works. No particular reason why.
Digamma I was catching up on old bumblekasts from the span of time I fell behind on them and nearly a year ago you said There's something that we're working on for 2020 in IDW Sonic where a core component was received well but was deemed inappropriate for the franchise, and I don't mean that in an adult way, I mean that it was "out of theme". (...) So I had to reconfigure things and it lead to some interesting new directions for one of the characters involved Since we're in 2021 now, is it safe for you to go into more detail about this?
Diane W. How did Buns contract NIDS? Was it her affair with Scourge that caused this to happen, or do you think it’s too much to address given that this is an All-Ages comic?
Dove Hey guys, sorry to bother you at work. I'm curious, we've seen the Master Emerald shattered a few times. I assume that means the Chaos Emeralds can be similarly broken. My question is this. Can the Chaos Emeralds be destroyed completely? What would happen if they were?
Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) The Sonic fandom LOVES to talk about the Sonic Ships. Some likes this ship, hates that ship, shipping, ship, shipping. So what's your favorite Sonic Ship? ...my personal favorites includes the Egg Carrier.
Happytimes (KoFi) Does the split between Classic and Modern Sonic separate just the video game cast, or does it affect characters made for other media too?
Scruffymatt Hey fellas! What is the one place you want to travel to most, when it's finally safe to do so again?

PRIORITY Q&A Scruffymatt So my question to you this week is: what other terrible video game adaptations can you recall being disappointed in because they had very little (if anything) to do with the source material?
N'Oni Ian, just wondering, what do certain characters do on their days off?
SaturnFlicky (KoFi) Have you ever considered using Chaos Gamma in the comics?
Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) You think that..having certain characters being "Classic Exclusive" limits some potential? ...If Classic was however allowed to co-exist alongside modern regardless of anniversaries or not, I don't think it would be an issue then but...what do you think?
Diane W You know on a previous BumbleKast episode, you said that 6 of the seven Chaos Emeralds are the wrong colour? Well, they are gemstone-appropriate names ...Does that clear up everything regarding what colours the Chaos Emeralds are meant to be?
AWF Tangle, Whisper, and Jewel walk into arcade. What games do they play?
Andrew D. Did you ever want to give civilian names to other Robot Masters like the ones we got (Blues, Rock, Roll, and Tempo?)
Digamma How far ahead do you know what artist is working on a story?
Madeline M (KoFi) Have all the various designs of Tails’ workshop and plane hangar been the same place, or are they based on each other?
Papadripopolous Tell us all you can and want about your rivals of aether work, what're you doing, how's it been doing it, etc pls
STANDARD Q&A Tik Tik In short: where are the consequences to the world and what decisions led to them not being there?
PC-The-Unicorn Why exactly did it crossover with so many other games and wasn't simply a four way crossover ...? Why didn't the entire Sonic Boom cast partake into the crossover? Did you you want Worlds Unite to be longer then 12 issues considering how cluttered everything was? And where was Chip during this entire event?
Gawdzilla Who would win: King Ghidorah of KoTM vs King Ghidorah of KoTM BUT each head's personality is replaced by Sonic (Center), Shadow (Right) and Silver (Kevin)? Could the Hedgehogs adapt to their new Draconian body and take down the Golden Demise? Or are they doomed to succumb to in fighting?
tKoS Did SEGA have anything to do with the naming of Floral Forest Village? Is it the official name of the place where Cream's house is or is this only applicable to IDW?
Johnny_B_Goode What would Bivalve the Clam look like if he got a mobian redesign like Akhlut?

PRIORITY Q&A John B. Between all the different versions of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles you have watched/ read what are your favorite versions of each Turtle.
AfroLuffyX The Preview pages for Sonic’s 30 anniversary comic seem to not have speech bubbles and dialogue, will the comic have The characters be silent or The dialogue and speech bubbles weren’t added in yet?
AWF I recently saw a short video from the late Stan Lee (link provided for reference) where he goes on a mini vent about fans treating comic characters as if they're some kind of static being with set limits or abilities that have to be written a certain way, i.e. "so and so would beat so and so because reasons", with Stan explaining that characters abilities only matter as far as the writer writes them. As a writer, how do you feel about this? I've seen folks say you write some characters poorly, or "out of character", to which I've always said "in character is however the current writer decides to write them". What's your take? https://twitter.com/BlueTlouNerd/stat...
Diane W. What would interactions between Sticks and Cosmo (from Sonic X) be like?
Papadripopolous Ian, have you considered other writing formats? You're a comic writer, of course. But could we some day possibly see Ian Flynn, novelist?
Minty (KoFi) Did any of the Diamond Cutters ever see/encounter Infinite during the war? Considering Infinite was also a mercenary, would they have recognized him or even crossed paths with him in the past?
Joestar_SSB (KoFi) If you were handed the opportunity to completely retcon / rewrite / rework Infinite The Jackal's backstory with little to no restrictions (be it in either game or comic format) what would you change, and what of his character would you like to further explore?
Happytimes (KoFi) Rouge's greediness pre-reboot Archie sometimes seemed more malicious...Was this intentional?
Creative Name (KoFi) The story I've always heard about you getting brought onto Archie is that you kept sending them unsolicited scripts until Penders left, and when he left, they brought you on as head writer to replace him. My question is - what were the contents of these scripts and did any of their stories make it into the final comic? Did they have anything in common with Other M?
Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) We know that Dr Eggman is busy fighting Sonic. So that begs the question. Where...is... Dr BACONman. What is he doing with his life?
Scruffymatt Kyle vs Ian. Who wins that fight? Ian,

PRIORITY Q&A Papadripopolous ian, giving you a chance to make some dev out there giddy. obviously you're working with rivals of aether, but is there some other indie game you've seen around you'd go "ay I'd write a comic of that" about?
Scruffymatt Alright fellas, you've had your practice questions. But now before the movie comes out, I once again must ask you: who would win? Gimme those predictions!
Diane W. Here’s a fun question to make up for my last one; would Shadow be unable to steal candy from a baby if he finds it too cute?
Scurvy Piratehog So...We know that Sonic Can't lose. So that begs the question...who would win in a fight between Sonic....and Sonic? Note. There's no fake sonic here, they are both real Sonics!
Drewmaru Since Sega doesn't want to acknowledge certain Classic elements in Modern Sonic, especially those that we will be seeing in the new IDW classic comic such as Mighty and Ray, can you give us a story reason why we don't see them? I'd hate to imagine they'd be dead or nonexistent, and not being the focus seems strange in some instances like the Metal Virus where it brought in so many characters. Are we to assume they were holding out somewhere, or perhaps they were victims of the virus?
Noodalou So the Chaos Emeralds are the main Super-Saiyan making gems. There have been other mostly collectable powerful sets, such as the Sol Emeralds, Time Stones, World Rings, Anarchy Beryl, Power Rings, etc. What are your favorites in this B-list category? Any least favorites?
John B. With Dr. Starline playing a significant roll in both Bad Guys and Chao Races and Badnik Bases did anything have to changed in Bad guys to keep in step with the main book? You have talked about collaborating with Evan before but now that her first big story is out I was wondering if you have more specific examples.
Sony N. First of all love the show and comics. And I loved the metal virus arc. Simple question. Sonic as there a limit to how dark you went with it? I remember you saying you got away with a lot and the tone I feel was great. Did it feel darker then what you normal write for sonic books even Archie and if you can answer how far did you want to take it?
Syn_Fritz As it seems SEGA is constantly changing things up a bit with their characters for the Sonic franchise, what is the word on our boy Knuckles? Is he the last of his kind, the last of his clan, or something else now? On top of that, is he still a treasure hunter?
Digamma

PRIORITY Q&A Olgilvie Maurice Hey is it possible for you guys to say, "We want to give a shoutout to Ogilvie the Blue the one and only true Sonic Imposter" ? That would be awesome man!
Digamma Let's take a question I've asked you in the past and ƎϨЯƎVƎЯ it: Would there be any sonic characters (games, archie, idw, etc) that would be like "if they were in Drogune they'd be Orkune"? Obviously this whole excercise is for fun, not to be taken the most seriously, but I do find it a neat thought experiment.
Diane W. Since you’re never going to release Lost Hedgehog Tales due to outside forces and instead being using for ideas for the IDW book, I may as well ask[...] Scruffymatt Alright fellas, since you agreed on my last "who would win" question so easily, let's try another: Bane vs Mr. Freeze. Who wins?
AWF What process do you use for thinking ahead when it comes to writing, when youret taking turns writing with someone else? With you and Evan both working on your own arcs for the main comic now, do y'all have to pass ideas back and forth, to make sure neither of you "accidentally" plot-block the other by writing a situation that would interfere with something the other planned on writing? Over at Sonic Legacy (haha plug), we have several writers working on multiple issues at any given time, so there's always the "issue" of making sure everyone's on the same page. Do you and Evan (and anyone else you've ever written with) ever had to just sit down and be like "ok, this is what I want to do, this is what you want to do, how do we make this work?"
Ideria Do you Ian, as a comic writer (whether it be Sonic IDW, Sonic Archie or Drogune) get to take part when it comes to translating a comic from english to another language?
Andrew D. Where can I read all of Drogune so far in its intended reading order?
Scurvy Piratehog Who would win in a fight between Espio the chameleon....and the Shredder?
N'Oni Is there any Tailoring Commission that Honey the Cat wouldn't take?
Papadripopolous So, Ian, seems you've altered the BKC site to finally mention the Dark Horse ARMS comic as a cancelled project. Did something change, you got some confirmation the project's dead, something like that? Does this mean you can talk some more about the project, or are you still just overall NDA'd into tomb-like silence?
STANDARD Q&A K McConnell-K I was just wondering, what were Shadow's reasons for going [to Angel Island in STH#...

PRIORITY Q&A Dove Hey guys, wasn't that last question awesome? Anyway, Ian: Bucky O'Hare SWAT Kats Gargoyles If you could choose to write an at least 24 issue comic on any of these franchises, which would you choose? Which would you be most excited for?
megakirbs Hello! I absolutely loved the Metal Virus saga and Cream's portrayal especially. I felt it demonstrated a side of Cream we hadn't seen before. Do you currently have any plans for Cream the Rabbit in the next IDW arc? She is my favorite character, thanks!
Scurvy Piratehog ...The Metal Virus Saga ends the way it began....Was this intentional? If so, that’s kinda brilliant!
Digamma was volume 1 of Cosmo originally going to be a full blown ongoing that got caught up in Archie transitioning to having it's non-Archie (the character) books into miniseries?...I guess you could extend this question to the Mighty Crusaders book from around the same time
Jib I was curious, in the forces comic and the game, we never got to see how Shadow took down Infinite's squad as well as his reason.Were you ever planning to include that in the comic? And if not, how do you imagine it happened.
Ink Pants Most Webtoons comics are formatted vertically for mobile... I was curious if [formatting Dorgune differently] was something that had crossed your minds.
Diane W. Do you still think there should be a Sonic game, with Smith voicing Sonic, where he’s put into a situation where the metaphorical anvil gets dropped on how he’s characterized in the 2010s era, how he treats his friends, or how he tells his jokes, very poorly, or even the other characters and how they’ve acted since the 2010s such as Tails, or Shadow?
Johnny_B_Goode Let's rewind back to the first episode of Sonic X. If you could put Sonic & co in any city in fiction at all as a result of chaos control gone wonky, which city would you pick?
AWF Having worked on the Transformers x MLP crossover, I have to ask, who's your favorite Transformer? Also, bonus question for both you and Kyle, if you were a Transformer, what would your alternate mode be?
Scruffymatt What do you guys think are some of the best video games trilogies that are out there?
STANDARD Q&A Tik Tik Does Sonic canonically see the world through a cartoony lens? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY_H4d68IUc that last couple lines from this progressive commercial just seems like a bit of a tidbit that SEGA believes to be true but doesn't tell the fans

PRIORITY Q&A Andrew D. Has SEGA ever told you what games were or were not canon? And for those that were non canon, did they say they could not be adapted at all due to being non canon?
Scurvy Piratehog Since we never got to fully see it in World's unite...how would you imagine a proper crossover between modern Sonic and Sonic Boom to go? The Sonics interacting, Knuckles, Eggmen, ETC ETC ETC.
IanWaffles How do you both feel about the hyper critical approach to media analysis we seem to find ourselves in nowadays? I often find I enjoy things more when I consider the time, circumstances, and people behind a project rather than treating everything in a vacuum. Do you think it creates healthy discourse for everything to be treated to such a strict and harsh standard of quality?
Digamma-F-Wau Chronologically, when does Outlaw take place in relation to the main Drogune series? Given that the shonen jump contest chapter took place at Ruby Point and then the chapter of the main book that came out after Outlaw when the hiatus ended also took place at Ruby Point, it would be funny if what we have of Outlaw and that chapter of the main series was taking place at the same time unbeknownst to both parties, but obviously if that's not the case then that's not the case.
Johnny_B_Goode Could you shed some light on the relationship between Rob O' the Hedge and the Albion echidnas? Rob appeared to be in a weird trance when he led Knuckles and the lost echidnas to the hidden city he never saw before, and then they were in some sort of alliance with the Albionites until their civilization was blown up by Eggman? What was up with that?
Diane W. What are the possibilities of exploring Blaze having Iblis sealed inside of her before she Chaos Controlled herself into another dimension at the end of Silver’s campaign in Sonic ‘06, as well as the fact that Blaze was originally from Sonic’s world 200 years into the future and childhood friends with Silver before she was the princess of the Sol Dimension and keeper of the Sol Emeralds?
Papadripopolous Thoughts from either of you on Daft Punk in general, now they've split up?
AfroLuffyX Were the characters of Pre-reboot Archie Sonic.. erased from existence by the Genesis wave or they were reincarnated into the new continuity ..?
Hero of Light 13 As far as the IDW Sonic universe goes, what's the Avatar character up to while everything else is going?

PRIORITY Q&A Chris A. Will the setting of sonic prime take place on Mobius or sonic’s world?
AWF Vanilla the Rabbit, the only "canonical" parent chatacter by today's media. The mother of Cream. How old is she? If she had Cream at a young age, say around 18, she would only be about 24. And more importantly, what of the father of Cream? Is he away on business? Perhaps lost his life to one of Eggmans schemes in the last? No one really talks about it, but the idea of Vanilla being a young, single mother is kind of tragic, and, as a parent myself, makes me appreciate her a little bit more as a character. Doesn't have to be an "official" answer, just your personal views on it.
Scruffymatt Who do you think is the greatest cinematic villain of all time?
Digamma-F-Wau To follow up my previous Drogune ask, you forgot Rotor and Bunnie (don't worry, I take partial blame, I didn't specify the exact range of "main cast" and you guys got sidetracked). Might as well throw in Sticks too.
Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) To Both. If EVERY Ninja Ever, and EVERY Pirate Ever went to war against each other, which side would win?
AfroLuffyX (Priority) How would Amy,rouge,tangle and wisper fare as mothers?
IanWaffles Hey Ian! Could you please go over the production of the Archie website exclusive story: Dark Mobius - Knuckles’ Descent?
Diane W. ...Why would Shadow want to find the truth about his past...? And why would he not want to help a city that's being invaded?
James (KoFi) Is there anything you can tell us about the recent IDW Sonic delays? Could we get an overview of what comic books you've been contributing to of late? Perhaps just some recommendations?
Andrew D. Are robotic versions of characters allowed to be made aside from the Metal characters?
N’Oni Out of sheer curiosity, Was Dr. Starline a Theater Kid?
Happytimes (KoFi) We've seen Doctor Eggman team up with Doctor Wily, but how do you think a team up would go between Eggman and a different mad doctor: Doctor Neo Cortex from the Crash Bandicoot series?
STANDARD Q&A Vlad C. Since Sonic Chronicles isn't really canon, do the Gizoids have a different origin or something? Is that whole realm something that SEGA is keeping even you in the dark on?
K McConnell-K Since Shadow, Rouge & Omega aren't teammates (or friends for that matter) how come they are often seen with each other in games after Heroes (i.e. 06 & Forces) as well as the IDW comics?
Chaos Sonic

PRIORITY Q&A Digamma If the freedom fighters were in Drogune, what races would they be? (Throw in the main games cast and Tangle/Whisper/Jewel if you want to)
Pan Dulce In the Valentines topic, we all imagine how the heroes would spend it, but what about the villains such as Dr. Eggman, Dr. Starline, Rough & Tumble, Clutch, etc? What evil plans do they have for it?
N'Oni Roses are red, rhyming is hard, how do you make a Zeti your Valentine?
Scruffymatt Happy Hallmark greeting card day, everyone! How do you think Amy Rose spends Valentine's Day, and does it involve a certain homemade Sonic doll that she keeps around for totally legitimate, definitely non-creepy reasons?
Dove If Sega, IDW and Wizards of the Coast decided to make a Sonic themed D&D supplement based on your work so far, what character would you make for yourself? Would there be new classes to fit the world? Would you have enough dice? Kyle! Pay attention, you can answer too.
Momomimi Hey guys! Was replaying the Megaman Zero/ZX collection recently so I’ve got a Megaman focused question for Ian. Both Megaman Zero and Shadow the Hedgehog have very similar character arcs where they are forced to confront difficult past but of the two I find Zeros to be more emotionally satisfying. Ian, what is your take on Zero’s overall character arc and (if you can) elaborate on what ways you would flesh it out/improve on existing material?
Scurvy Piratehog I have noticed a LOT of people mistaking Dr Starline for a duck, despite the fact he's a platypus. That makes me wonder...how would Starline react if ALL the other Sonic characters within the book ALSO constantly mistook him for a duck? What would he do?
Diane W. To Ian, what would the Sonic characters’ blood type be?
AWF Drogune! Your own wholy original story, not related to any pre existing intellectual property. What inspired you to write it? And how much "story" do you already have planned out? When I write something, I usually have the ending planned out ahead of time. Do you look at a story the same way, or do you just write until the writing is done and figure it out along the way?
Papdripopolous Have you ever written anything using the classic Stan Lee "Marvel Method" of doing a basic story breakdown, letting the artist determine the pages and layouts and acting following the basic breakdown you did, and then writing the dialogue yourself? If not, is that a process that would interest you,

PRIORITY Q&A Diane W. -why would the GUN Commander work for GUN and blame Shadow for Maria’s death and having his family taken from him when it was GUN who took away the commander’s family and killed Maria when the ARK shut down -why does Black Doom want Shadow to get the Chaos Emeralds or even activate the jewel temples when he has a huge army of Black Arms that can just do the job -why would Eggman be upset that there’ll be no city to take over if the Black Arms destroy them all when he had no problems flooding Station Square by unleashing Chaos -the biggest one of all, Who the Gibbling Flump hired the Chaotix to find any info on Project Shadow?
PC-The-Unicorn Ian, becuase I never stop thinking about how great Worlds Collide is, I have this fun question involving two beloved evil scientists. What would Dr. Starline make of Dr. Wily and vice versa? And would Starline, like Eggman, consider Wily weak for the mere fact that he won't kill Dr. Light despite the fact that it would make Wily life easier?
Andrew D. I noticed in the comic that the Chaotix are never referred to as Team Chaotix and instead are referred to as the Chaotix Detective Agency. Is the name “Team Chaotix” no longer allowed to be used, and is “Chaotix Detective Agency” the name of the group, the place they stay at, or both?
John B. Hey guys. This question is for both of you. With the announcement that Roger Craig Smith leaving the role of Sonic, what did you like about his performance as Sonic throughout the years. This could range from how he approached the role as a whole or a specific moment. Personally while the deeper voice threw me off at first, I found that Roger had amazing comedic timing. This especially showed in Sonic Boom.
Johnny_B_Goode I heard you want questions, so I got a Mega question to ask! In what ways were Mega Man and the Robot Masters less intelligent or capable of agency than reploids or even humans? They had distinct personalities and some could express emotions like despair and remorse. Since Mega Man has had a lot of interpretations, what I'm really asking is what limits you had in mind for their robot brains when writing them.
AWF What future plans did you have for Fiona, if anything?
Scurvy Piratehog If you could own ONE of these three vehicles (Egg Mobile, Batmobile, Delorean) , which one would you choose and why?

PRIORITY Q&A Papadripopolous you've said before the new 252 setting isn't the same as the genesis world from the first time the genesis wave was used. my question is, why?
N'Oni If you could adopt any badnik from the entire Sonic series, which would it be? Quantity is unlimited, but it can only be one of each type.
Joshless Was there any particular reason you seemed to imagine planet Mobius as having a population of a couple hundred thousand people tops, or did it just work out this way?
IanWaffles During the archie Preboot run, after Eggman brought himself back from his insanity, there were times when he’d fail and slip back into madness for a few seconds, this being depicted by his glasses falling away to show his red soulless eyes....so what I’m asking is was this detail something to pay attention to and that you intended to pay off? Or was it simply a characterization choice to show that Eggman was still not fully there?
Diane W. -why the Black Arms decided to wait until now to invade Earth when the Glyphic Canyon was transported there over 2,000 years ago -why the Black Arms want to eat humans for their fuel -why didn’t Sonic and co. just tell Shadow who he is or why couldn’t Shadow just ask anyone who knows him
Starline's fanboy Starline mentioned that he became quite ill after not sleeping when he was looking for Eggman...Does it mean he's still ill? What kind of illness does he have and will it be explored in the future? Or he recovered from it already?
Ideria (Ko-Fi) Now I’ve heard that you are familiar with my favourite shows : Wakfu. Who has been your favorite villain between Nox, Qilby and Oropo?
AWF Have you ever written a comic that had no dialogue? If you have, how difficult was it to do? If you haven't, how difficult do you THINK it would be to do?
Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) What are the chances that Captain Whisker can appear in the IDW comics?
KaoticKanine (KoFi) Ian, if you were finally allowed to use Sticks for IDW, how would you integrate her into the cast?
Andrew D. What are some series (game, movie, tv, book, etc) that you would love to get into or check out but don’t have the time?
Blue Mickey Mouse Ian Flynn, you’ve told people they ought not read your Sonic fan fiction from before you became an official writer because it was of bad quality. When you look back upon Other-M does your mind devolve into hearing Samus say “the baby” as that famous .gif of Sonic Underground plays in your mind? https://images.app.goo.gl/8JNV9ZSqdo8...

PRIORITY Q&A PC-The-Unicorn Said question being, what went into writing Sonic character for the IDW series?
Johnny_B_Goode What was the secret, if any, to [Jun Kun's] incredible strength and toughness?
AWF What is Starlines favorite consumable item? And while we're on the subject of food, do Zeti eat?
Blue Mickey Mouse If you could freely write different Sonic properties together how would the universes be recognized in name/identity by the others?
Scruffymatt IWhich multiplayer modes from previous Sonic games have been your favourites, and how would you like to see multiplayer brought back in a future Sonic title, if at all?
Diane W. How do you feel about Netflix’s Fate: The Winx Saga?
Andrew D. If you were each to design your own Pokémon, what would it be, and what would its typing be?
Digamma F Wau so obviously you've talked multiple times at this point about how the Iron Dominion saga featuring Monkey Kahn was a joke idea to make your other pitches seem better that Pellerito ended up choosing anyways. Now back in the old Mike Gallagher Off-Panels, it was a running gag that Pellerito had an obsession with monkeys and apes. I wonder...
Madeline M (Ko-Fi) Ian, is how Sonic and Tails first met in the IDW continuity the same as mainline? Amy mentioned in #10 how Tails was raised by Sonic. Did Sonic find Tails going hungry as a baby or toddler, or did Tails fix up Sonic’s plane? Can you describe the story of Sonic raising Tails?
Scurvy Piratehog (KoFi) One...thing I have seen going around at times that annoys me a little is when people claim that Eggman/Robotnik is a complete idiot, and not a real threat. I mean, in IDW and Forces, he DID manage to take over the world, he has created huge facilities, robot armies, deadly inventions, and he has shown multiple times that he actually is a genius, and had really evil moments. I personally think that the main thing about the character is that his main weaknesses are his own overconfidence in his plans, and his own obsession with Sonic. But what do you think? How would you sorta "explain" Eggman?
STANDARD Q&A breezy so the sol emeralds can restore peoples’ memories huh? whats the deal with that? also, what do you think the sol emeralds preside over in general? (in the same vein that the chaos emeralds manipulate abstract space and such)

PRIORITY Q&A Bradley T. Hi! My son, Sandy, is working on a Sonic Christmas play, and wants to know if you have any ideas for dialogue and drama? The plot idea is that Eggman is trying to destroy Santa so that Christmas will not come, causing chaos that will make it easier for him to form his Eggman Empire. Sonic uncovers the plot when he sees Eggman's ship heading toward the North Pole, with badnicks and Metal Sonic riding on top. Thanks!
Blue Mickey Mouse I could be way off-base with terminology I’ve probably heard in science fiction numerous times but I have a question about the dialogue in Mega Man volume 5. When Proto Man is first awakened he is asked for a self-diagnostic. He replies that all his systems report “nominal”. I often have to look up words I never end up solidly understanding/remembering but when I searched “nominal” it went into a bit trickier territory than the first few common definitions. I understand it means “as intended by design” but before landing on that I saw that word is used in describing energy capacity in photovoltaic devices aka solar-powered. The comic mentions numerous times that Proto Man was originally built with a faulty solar core (which Wily states to have replaced with a nuclear one, haha, that’s it’s own joke) was there intentional wordplay around that concept? I’m actually asking this as I read for the first time so sorry if this doesn’t get addressed anyway between the printedmaterial or Q&As. As I’m sure you know this material is hard to come by in physical form.
Diane W. Would you include the “Eggman resurrected the Deadly Six” titbit and address it fully by showing the full story?
Scruffymatt If SEGA decided to add DLC to Sonic Team Racing, what would you like to see as new content?
Andrew D. If Sally and Antoine were to return to the IDW comics, what animals would you like to see them as, assuming squirrel (according to old Archie material) and coyote are off the table due to being made up by Archie? And would they keep their surnames?
AWF My question is are there any chatacters you're required to include, that maybe you'd rather not? Or chatacters you're just not sure how to write?
Johnny_B_Goode What was your favorite part about working on New Crusaders and Mighty Crusaders? Did you have a favorite character in either series?
Chris A. Will the sonic the hedgehog encyclo-speed-ia include sonic’s appearance in the comics?

PRIORITY Q&A AWF For Ian, the man who usually has a plan Chaos Emeralds and Sol Emeralds. Are "Super" and "Blazing" forms respective to each particular type of shiny magic rock? If Sonic were to use the Sol Emeralds to transform, would he become Burning Sonic? Would he be pink? In the inverse situation, if Blaze used the Chaos Emeralds, would she become Super Blaze? Would she be yellow? I need to know for.. reasons.
Diane W. While you were planning on doing a Lost World adaptation in the Archie Comic before it was cancelled, have you already asked SEGA how Eggman discovered the Lost Hex to begin with, or would’ve your adaptation of Lost World have your own interpretation/head-canon theory on how Eggman discovered the Lost Hex? And have you also asked SEGA why the Deadly Six desire to destroy Sonic’s world?
Scruffymatt Hello, boys... Hypothetical situation for both of you: the trickster god Jon Gray comes to you and whilst completely failing to hold in his maniacal laughter, gives you the power to move one classic Sonic character into the modern cast, and one modern character into the classic cast. Who do you choose to swap around?
N’Oni I'm currently trying to get a World Bible together for a project I'm on. Looking at how Drogune is getting together and your work on the Sonic and Mega Man series, Do you have any suggestions/tips/templates one could use to make sure they don't accidentally trip on their own lore?
Blue Mickey Mouse How much can Tails bench?
AwesomeCakester Besides Super Sonic, Super Shadow, Super Silver and Burning Blaze; what transformations would you like to see return in games of other medias?
Andrew D backlog blowout -Was Dr. Starline and his name based on the glitch character Wechnia and his in-game name of (ten * characters) since it is basically a line of stars? -What are some other classic public domain stories you would like to see for future Storybook Series entries? - How would you incorporate or explain modern characters appearing in classic stories? - Would you happen to know if Sega owns Shade or Anti-Sonic/Scourge?

Priority Q&A
Diane W. If you were given the chance to write an episode or comic issue of a Sonic animated show or Sonic IDW that deals with serious real-life issues, what would it be and how would you handle it?
AwesomeCakester What would like to see in a new Sonic animated short if SEGA and Tyson Hesse were to make another one to add to the 3 they've already done?
HedgeWolf23 will the Freedom Fighters (Sally, Antoine, Bunnie, Rotor, Nicole, Chuck, Ben, etc.) If somehow, you guy were given permission to put them in with a fresh coat a paint, into the IDW Comics, who would know for a fact would not be included from this list? If I remember correctly about the mandates, there aren't any new familial ties allowed (for instance, creating a parent for Sonic), but I could be wrong. Another question is about the mandates: If you could remove them, what would you add to the new comics, such as familial, romantic, or otherwise?
AWF Continuing down the line of food based questions, is Mobians don't eat Mobinis/other animals, and love off of a magic plant based vegan diet, what about plant based characters, like Cosmo and her species? Would Cosmo get offended if someone ate a salad in front of her? Are Seedrians ok with eating meat or meat based products? Are you going to handwave my question by saying they get all their nutrients via photosynthesis or something?
Scurvy Piratehog (Ko-Fi) Just for the fun of it...How do you imagine a "Anti-Mobius/Moebius" version of Sonic: Bad guys to be? The versions of the characters and story? or "Scourge: Good guys" as it would be called?
N’Oni Ian, who was the one who decided that Starline couldn't remain as Eggman's assistant for more time? Sega or you? Is there a chance we could get someone who actually supports Eggman?
RenardPixel (Ko-Fi) Hey Ian (Kyle too, you're also amazing), longtime reader, recent short-time binge watcher, first time asker of questions! How different was it writing for Mega Man compared to Sonic when it comes to getting things approved by Capcom? Were there any major mandates? Spill it!
STANDARD Q&A
Tik Tik I just learned that vector saw the events of knuckles chaotix as a "miracle from god". Is modern vector religious?
breezy From your perspective, can Espio turn invisible, or is it just camouflage? In some of your previous works, it’s a bit difficult to discern.
Gawdzilla IF Julie-Su were to have a wispon...what kind of Wisp would she use? I see her using a spike mini gun ala Smithy from the Diamond Cut...

Priority Q&A AwesomeCakester Ian; Looking back on how you had to introduce a new Sonic world in the IDW comic, having to basically make a spiritual follow up to Sonic Forces for a different media. I think a lot of us don't really think about how difficult that was. Dealing with people that were unhappy with Sonic Forces, the sudden end to the Archie run and losing tons of characters that fans loved for so long, the Freedom Fighters, couldn't have been a walk in the park. What were some of the challenges that you had to face when starting the run of the IDW comics?
Digamma What's the lead time between when a story is written (as in the script, pre-planning obviously stretches back far longer) to when it's published on IDW Sonic? (to simplify things let's go by original intended release dates for delayed issues) I remember back in the Archie days you mentioned it was 6 months, but that was Archie and this is IDW, different publishers, plus I've heard that art wise IDW has different lead times/deadlines than Archie. Also, is the lead time different between main book issues vs miniseries issues vs Annual stories?
AWF Question for Ian and Kyle: You are now a chatacter in a Fallout game. What kind of chatacter are you? What kind of skills do you have? Are you a team player, or do you go in solo? Would you join a faction like the Brotherhood of Steel, or are you all about that raider lyfe?
Scruffymatt Hey there gents. I was wondering what your plans are for this holiday season? How will you be adapting this year in lieu of being unable to do a lot of your usual holiday traditions?
N'Oni Lo there, got a question! Whenever we're able to do the whole Convention thing again, Will the Bumblekast ever have a fan table at one? Also, would you take any suggestions on conventions to go to?
Scurvy Piratehog To Ian: Hey Ian! love what you have done on Bad guys, but after issue 2...it got me thinking. Couldn't Eggman put EM Shielding on all his robots to prevent the Zeti from controlling them? I feel that kind of tech gives him an actual real fighting chance against them since they can control tech. Also while we are at it, considering Neo was in the first arc, and teh Deadly Six hijacked the metal Virus, is it too much to ask to have a big story arc where Eggmen gets to keep being the main villain through it? He's Sonic's arch-enemy after all and I miss having some real Sonic VS Eggman stories where he gets to be the full on main villain. To Kyle: Out of curiosity...

Priority Q&A AwesomeCakester Ian, do you write Tangle, Whisper, Starline, Jewel, Mimic, or Rough and Tumble with a specific voice in mind? Any actors in particular you'd like to see voice them if they were to have their own appearance in other Sonic media?
Scruffymatt Greetings Ian and Kyle, you mysterious seekers of truth and answerers of questions! I imagine that like myself, many video game fans are frustrated that the only crossovers we're getting between Sonic and Mario are the Olympic Games compilations, when what we really want is a platformer with Sonic and Mario teaming up against Eggman and Bowser. The two of you have talked about this idea on the show before, and why it might or might not work. But what if SEGA and Nintendo decided to try going in a different direction? There's the MarioKart series, and there's the Sonic Racing series. Mash them together, and what do you get? ...no seriously, tell me. What do you get? Go nuts, fellas! What do you think a racing game combining Mario and Sonic would be like?
Starline’s Fanboy Hi Ian, imagining that Dr. Starline existed in the same universe in which Dr. Eggman had the Egg Bosses and he still worked for the doctor, how would be his relationship with the Bosses? Would he be their superior? And would he have a rivalry with Thunderbolt because of her crush for Eggman or an alliance?
BlueTidalGamer What Spider-Man stories across all forms of Spider-Man media, be it comics, movies, games ect have stuck with you the most?
Digamma What's the story behind Fragile, the back up story for issue 232? At that point in your run you were pretty much the sole writer outside of some leftover inventory stories (which had been long since exhausted) and Yardley writing some X issues and Babylon Rising, but then lo and behold there's a back up story important to Bunnie and Antoine's arc by a pair of guys who haven't worked on the book beforehand nor since. Come to think of it there was also a buntwan story written by a different pair of writers who were never otherwise involved in the book early in the reboot (though non-you writers were a bit more common by then)
AWF Is Classic and Modern sonic distinguished as separate timelines, or entirely alternate realities? If Classic Sonic is just "Sonic from the past", could any time traveling character, like, say, Silver, go back in time and "exist" in classic media? Is Modern Sonic a result of one of the possible ending of Sonic CD and the time stone shenanigans? I know you're the comic guy and what you say doesn't have any bearing on ...
Ian sniffles and coughs his way through the Q&A.

Priority Q&A AwesomeCakester Question; Sorry to bring up the two worlds again, but if humans live in one world and Sonic and the others live in "Sonic's World" then (technically speaking and going off of what has been said about it) does that mean Eggman is from the human world?
N'Oni If Zeti can control anything that has an electrical current running through them, could one of them hypothetically hijack Shadow's Shoes?
AWF Does this mean that Mobians do consider Mobinis to be a food source?
Jonathan W Did you have this exact imagery while writing? (RE: STH#29)
DianeLionheart Do you think Eggman is Polish considering that his surname “Robotnik” is the polish word for “worker”? What would happen to a Zombot if it got decapitated? What’s your favourite team from Sonic Heroes and why is it Team Sonic?
Digamma Hey Ian, what would you personally say some of your biggest mistakes and regrets with regards to writing sonic are?
Silly Rookie (Ko-Fi) Hiya! What do you feel are the most efficient ways to introduce/reintroduce and develop a character under the page limitations you're under? Any methods you feel are unique to the comics medium? Any methods you've seen (no names) that you dislike?
Scurvypiratehog (Ko-Fi) Eggman will have kids so...who the heck is the mother? Elise? Wendy Naugus? Someone REALLY desperate?? WHO!??
HedgeWolf23 If the Freedom Fighters are able to appear in the new comics, who would NOT show up?
Starline's Fanboy How old is Starline? I know he must be an adult, but what's his age?
SonAmy Channel (Ko-Fi) IWill [the new Hot Topic merch] canonically affect Sonic's & Amy's interactions with each other in future issues of IDW Sonic?
Paps/KKM Ian and Kyle both. Imagine you're asked what your favourite comic books you've ever read...just say what books come to mind. Some 5 per each of you? Maybe more if you can think of more?
Andrew D. In issue 14, Silver holds Metal Sonic in place with his psychokinesis, so how is it that Metal Sonic falls through the warp hole that Dr. Starline opens beneath him if he’s being held?
BlueTidalGamer To Ian: Since IDW's newest character, Belle is Evan Stanley's idea, did you have any sort of small creative involvement with the creation of the character, or is it all Evan? To Kyle: What are your personal thoughts on the recently released PS5 and new Xbox consoles?
Standard Q&A Doot So I guess my question is, do you consider the chao an animal species in Sonic’s world, or do you think that the chao are at least semi-intellig...

PRIORITY Q&A Andrew D. In issue 14, Silver holds Metal Sonic in place with his psychokinesis, so how is it that Metal Sonic falls through the warp hole that Dr. Starline opens beneath him if he’s being held? The only thing I can think of is that Silver’s psychokinetic hold acted more like pushing Metal Sonic downward, but that wouldn’t seem to line up with what we’ve seen of his psychokinesis before.
Chris A. Do you think hellboy deserves a tv show just like the mask whether it be animated or live action?
Diane W. If Sonic Boom got a season 3, what would you want from it?
Scruffymatt I'd like to know what some of your favourite forgotten Sonic games are, fellas. Also, what was the WORST forgotten Sonic game, and why is it Tails' Skypatrol? :P
Digamma what are Tangle, Whisper, and Jewel's respective favorite foods?
AWF How high are the chances of us seeing a Sonic Timeline/Chronology in the encyclo-speed-ia akin to the zelda goddess trilogy of encyclopedia books they also published
SapphireScarletta I want to know your thoughts if Shadow and Rouge would be a good couple.
AwesomeCakester Do you think some characteristics, like Silver in TSR Mighty in Mania Adventures and Fang, Bean and Bark being labeled Hooligans, were inspired or even nods to your work over the comics?
SonAmy Channel Ian, why do Archie Sonic fans refuse to accept that IDW Sonic will never turn into Archie Sonic, especially since S.O.J. and Sonic Team made it very clear for 27 years that they don't want Sally & Freedom Fighters & won't make them canon to their video games or in movie Sonic?
N’Oni Ian - How it feels to chew five gum?
Papadripopolous Ian what anime opening could you sing right here right now Kyle would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or ten duck-sized horses
Standard Q&A RedScarfUK Q: Sega recently confirmed that Chao are gender-neutral and use they/them pronouns, and that got me wondering if Wisps are also genderless. Has there been any official word from Sega on whether this is the case or not?
PC-The-Unicorn Are the Zeti more powerful then the Iron Queen in terms of manipulating machines?Would the Zeti have been able to control the New Mobotropolis similar to how Iron Queen controlled it since its made up of nanites? And would the Ironqueen be able to control Zombots?

PRIORITY Q&A Taryn Urban (Ko-Fi) Hi Ian and Kyle! Ian, thanks for your tremendous work on Sonic and breathing new life into a series I've adored since childhood. My question is: what field of study is Dr. Starline's PhD in?
Silly Rookie (Ko-Fi) Hiya! What do you feel is the most important lesson you've learned about your creative medium? Specifically outside of the work-for-hire factors, I'm more asking about the craft.
Papdripopolous Have you ever gotten any internal notes from Archie or IDW or Sega going "Some exec heard you or your podcast co-host said X badly about them, or said Y and caused a lot of fans to insult us" and gotten in hot water over it?
Scruffymatt What do the two of you think presidential campaigns from the modern day versions of Sonic and Eggman would be like?
Sapphire Scarletta Ian, If Tangle and Whisper had anti-mobius counterparts, what would their names be along with their personality and story?
Diane W. SEGA says that the Hero Path in Shadow the Hedgehog is the canon pathway...Any thoughts on this?
AWF Human x Mobian relationships. How do you think they'd be viewed in-world? Would they be biologically compatible? Would the offspring be one or the other species, or some kind of freaky mutant monster?
Scurvy Piratehog (Ko-Fi) What would be the names of the zone cop counterparts of the Deadly Six, Zavok and so on?
AwesomeCakester is Maria still canon?
Andrew D. Can a Power Core run out of whatever it runs on? If so, how would Dr. Starline recharge his new Tricore, or would he have to replace it?
STANDARD Q&A RedScarfUK What was the reason for [Tikhaos] being fused into one being (if there was one), and how did the idea of Tikhaos come into being?
PC-the-Unicorn In the IDW universe of Sonic, does Knuckles ever ask people to look over the master emerald when he's away from it similar to how he did in the Archie Sonic continuity?
Liam B. [How do you approach the paradox of character agency vs. writer's intent]
-TheImagineBreaker 121212 [Question about Dark Horse's Encyclo-Sped-ia content]
Sgt Byrd If the Freedom Fighters ever came back...do you think it would be best to keep them together as a team or split them up as separate characters around the world?

Priority Q&A HedgeWolf23 In Issue 3 of the IDW comics, Knuckles and Sonic rescue a town that Rough and Tumble had taken over. They are first greeted by a dog who had his Drill Wispon stolen. (Just in case, here are some pics of him: https://imgur.com/a/Jj4lhLu) He reminds me a lot of Ben Muttski. Was Muttski an inspiration for this character, and also, what is his name?
Chris A. Have you read any jojo’s bizarre adventure manga because if so who is your favorite jojo in the series?
N’Oni I had a bit of a curiosity about Zavok's cell accommodations. He seems the type that could quite easily just break the iron bars before going on a tear through of the prison before leaving. Is there a reason for this? Like, do the Hover Guns prevent runaways by getting them suspended in air, or is there a set of tranquillizer darts that they couldn't gather together for the guy fast enough? Why didn't he break the bars, I guess, is what I'm asking.
AWF Do Mobians consider the term "furry" to be a sort of slur? And if Mobians had their own colloquial term for humans, what would it be?
shdowhunt60 (Ko-Fi) [...]Who is the best Sonic sibling, and why is it Tails?
The Shadow Emperor (Ko-Fi) During the first issue of Endangered Species (StH #243), it's revealed that some members of the Lost Tribe are still alive in Albion. Was the decision to have some survivors influenced by fan reaction to the tribe getting killed off after achieving their goal of reaching Albion?
SonAmy Channel (Ko-Fi) Ian, do you believe there's still a chance that SEGA or Sonic Team will allow you or Evan Stanley to use Sticks the Badger in IDW Sonic? If not, can you tell us what your plans were in how you were going to establish Sticks as Amy's best female friend and her role in IDW Sonic?
Amy Rose (Ko-Fi) I am aware SEGA has requested a distinction between "classic" and "modern" Sonic. My question is: does Honey the Cat count as a "classic" character? (Not asking if she will appear in the comics! I know that's a secret. Rather, I'm curious if she's allowed to at all!) Thanks
Tvguru (Ko-Fi) Awhile ago you said Marine wasn’t allowed to show up in the comic for a specific reason. May we know what it was? Also do you know if Club Rouge can still be a thing?
STANDARD Q&A chibijenhen Hi Ian and Kyle! Long time listener, first time caller. I’ve got a question for Ian: When designing Jewel the Beetle, I remember sega wasn’t entirely keen on another bug character,

PRIORITY Q&A Andrew D. This question is for both of you. Since a future Smash Bros game most likely won’t have the enormous roster that it currently has, what sort of thing would you like to see in order to make it a true successor that won’t pale in comparison to its predecessor? For example, would you overhaul the battle system, take the series in a new direction somehow, or just plow forward and hope people will like it despite what it will most likely be lacking?
SapphireScarletta (via Ko-Fi) Hi ian & kyle! I have a question, what are your thoughts on infinite as a villain & as a character.do you think he had a deeper reason as to why he wanted to destroy the world? & if you were task on giving him a full story arc,what kind of story & personality would you give him?
Ink Pants Patrick Spaziante's work on Archie Sonic was formidable, and he was arguably one of the most iconic artists on the team. What's your favorite piece from him that you've been involved with? Also, is there a chance we'll ever see him on IDW Sonic? I miss the guy almost as much as I miss the Freedom Fighters.
Scurvy piratehog (via Ko-Fi) -To Ian:. So...do you have any advice for the people who want to see (Sally Acorn) join IDW? -To Kyle: Are there any video games that have hit you emotionally?
N’Oni -Had a question about Starline! Are you ever going to delve more into what his background was like before trying to join the Eggman Empire? Any family, friends, people they've sworn to "show them, show them all" to? -For Kyle: What's your favorite crack ship? No judgements, honest curiosity.
AWF Have you ever sat back and watched any of those anti-Flynn videos by any of those popular sonictuber personalities? A lot of the ones who've made videos about you actually made some about me one time, so I was wondering if you've ever seen your own, or have an opinion. If you have, which ones your favorite?
STANDARD Q&A Gawdzilla So my question is two fold: what kind of Sonic zone aesthetics are your personal favorites? And which type of Zone aesthetic would you like the franchise to revisit?
Sgt Byrd Big is actually my favorite Sonic character just due to the comedy but also heart he brings to the table. Ian, if you were to write a legitimately serious story focused on Big without betraying the character, how do you think you would go about it?
Johnny_B_Goode Remember the Storybook games? If SEGA made another one of those,

PRIORITY Q&A N’Oni I've been binging a bit of sonic games, and I've noticed that a lot of more 'interesting' stores are either run by chao, I.E. The black market. Is there a reason such adorable critters seem to fall into a potentially life threatening career? Are they predisposed to being merchants, and just a few of them take things a bit far? Is there anything from Sega explaining this particular bit of chao background? I guess what I'm asking is, who taught the babies crime? Addendum: Also, who taught them how to use heavy machinery?? Have they always been this smart, or are these special cases?
Scruffymatt Ian and Kyle, oh wise and knowledgeable sages of truth, I have a problem. Every night I lay awake, trying to figure out the answer to one question, and one question only. I have been tormented with many sleepless nights in pursuit of this answer, and now I turn to you both in my hour of need. Gentlemen, you are my last hope. Please tell me, what is the answer to this question: Who is the best Darkwing Duck Villain? Is it Megavolt, Steelbeak or Nega Duck? I can't choooooooose!
Papadripopolous Ian- Iizuka's repeatedly said the Chaotix were rebooted in 2003, you've mentioned often having issues particularly using material from the game Chaotix, and if you read the Japanese manual's character descriptions, it becomes clear that the characters are just too drastically different from their 2003-onward versions to work as a cohesive interpretation. Do you think in a classic sonic book, such as the minisseries IDW announced that IIRC hasn't been confirmed whether you're writing it or not, but do you think they'd allow the Chaotix to appear? Or would the use of the classic Chaotix cause too much conflict with the modern interpretations? Would they allow it if it were the classic designs, but modern personalities? etc, just asking you to guess from your experience
Andrew D. Are there any events or lore from past games that you wanted to explore or expand upon but was told you couldn’t? If so, can you say what they were? Some things I’d love to see explored are why one of the seven Chaos Emeralds were missing until Sonic 2, what the Hidden Palace Zone on Westside Island was for, and why the plans for the Death Egg II from Fighters was seemingly scrapped until the Death Egg mk. II in Sonic 4. There are a whole bunch of unexplained bits in the past that are ripe for exploring.
Chris A. Are you sure you want the freedom fighters to come b...

Scruffymatt What are each of your favourite Sonic racing games?
N’Oni I just remembered that Chao can talk... So, what happened with that? Sonic X seems to have most Chao just say "Chao," including Cheese. Is this a retcon on Chao?
AWF What's Tangle's house like? Does she live with her parents? Does she ever get grounded for her hyper active antics? What's she like when she's not trying to keep up with Sonic and helping save the world from Eggman's current plot?
Digamma If one were to make a Reading Order for IDW Sonic, where would you say the best spot to put the 2020 Annual would be?
Andrew D. I’m a bit confused on what is considered an idea from older media or a new idea. For example, the Sonic video game series introduced the concept of Metal counterparts with Metal Sonic and Metal Knuckles, but the Archie comics introduced Metal Tails and Metal Amy. Does that mean that they could potentially return in the IDW comics, or would they be off limits? I’m assuming special cases like this might allow for them to return with a redesigned look like with E-107 Theta, who returned with a new look. And speaking of Theta, did you pick Theta as a hint to say certain characters from Archie could return if they are redesigned, especially ones who were seemingly previously off limits?
Chris A. What would mimic role be if Archie sonic wasn’t cancelled?
SaturnFlicky What measures are taken to prevent inaccurate fan info/translations getting into the Encyclo-speed-ia?
Papadripopolous Someone at SEGA manages to get permission to revive some old licensed Sonic material... They come to you and ask, "ok, what are we reviving? How obscure do you want to get? Asking both Ian and Kyle
BlueTidalGamer Ian: Is there anything from the Sonic Rivals series you think would be worth adapting into IDW Sonic in the future? Kyle: What would be the first thing you'd do if you were a millionaire? This question can apply to Ian as well.
Standard Q&A Raekwon G. Did Shadow as the Ultimate Life Form have any resistance to the metal virus?
Geo If IDW started a comic series of shantae or gunvolt would potential crossover with sonic work?

PRIORITY Q&A Chris A. Do the Zeti exists in pre reboot Archie sonic? Do the swat bots exist in idw Sonic along with the roboticizer?
Andrew D. Between what issues/event does the Bad Guys mini series take place?
Ink Pants Ian, my favorite son. Can you tell us how your involvement in the new Sonic Encyclopedia came about and any cool anecdotes about your work on it? It must have been a really exciting prospect to work on something so aligned with the games. Did you ever picture yourself getting this kind of opportunity back on your humble beginning at Archie?
AWF How much input does a writer have over the art of a comic, like the line work and colors? If I'm not mistaken, Evan has done some of her own line work for the issues she's written (more power to her, her art is amazing), but if an issue looks good in terms of colors and shading, so on, how much of that is credible to the writer?
Papadripopolous Is there something to the sudden Sonic X mentions? Did you just happen to rewatch it recently and went "hmm I wanna use this stuff"? also, as seen in the new york comic con stream, you got a decently nice beard going, time to update those profile pictures and so on to reflect that
Soni Can I just take this moment to say thank you Ian, truly! As someone who truly believed that the Zeti has a place in the world of Sonic despite many people saying otherwise, I am so happy with how you wrote him in the first issue of Bad Guys! I would gladly pay poutine for you! Speaking of, have you tried poutine?
N’Oni To Ian: How old is Chaos mentally/emotionally? If you don't know the concrete answer, do you have a headcanon for his age? Did Sega ever even have notes on that? Kyle: Seeing how we're in the spooky month, why not ask about something that's truly terrifying. Are there any video games you will never give another chance no matter what, due to their content? This includes File Eating bugs, and glitches that could corrupt the entire save.
BlueTidalGamer Ian: I've been really enjoying how you have approached the Deadly Six in the IDW series so far compared to how they were in their introduction in Sonic Lost World, especially Zavok. I do think that Zavok has potential to be a better villain than how the games portray him as, and after Bad Guys Issue 1, I'm really excited to see how he and Dr. Starline will clash. My question is,

PRIORITY Q&A Ink Pants What are some of the challenges you've had (during COVID) and how did you overcome them?
tKoS Are the Chaos Emeralds sentient like the Sol Emeralds? Have you gotten anything from SEGA/Sonic Team about this?
Andrew D. In the description of issue 12, it mentions that it is the conclusion to the Battle of Angel Island saga. Is this referring to the four issue arc of issues 9-12, or of the whole overarching saga of issues 1-12?
Papadripopolos ...how familiar are you with Euro comics?
Scruffymatt I was wondering about the Babylon Rogues. Do you know if the flames on their arms are tattoos, or what the design choice was there? Also, do you think that they would work in one of the Racing titles like Transformed or TSR? I guess it would seem a little odd to not have them on their extreme gear, but on the other hand, racing is kind of their whole deal.
N’Oni since the power of the Cacophonic Conch only lasts as long as you can blow it, is it possible to record the sound and still have it work? Is that why neither Starline or Eggman have tried, or is that more of a hubris thing?
AWF Do you think today's instant gratification centered mindset has had a negative impact on how people view comics? There didn't seem to be as much complaining back when people were used to waiting a week for a new episode of their favorite show, or a whole month to see what was going to happen in their favorite comics, but with today's highly accessable digital market and on-demand media, do you think that plays into why people get so upset when something happens that they don't like in a comic? Because they have to wait "so long" to see what happens next, that they become disgruntled and start finding faults in every little thing? Basically, are people just spoiled?
SonAmy Channel (KoFi) Ian, will classic Amy Rose be in the upcoming IDW Classic Sonic comic mini-series next year for the 30th Sonic Anniversary? If so, will it be explained where classic Amy was and what she was doing during the events of Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces?
STANDARD Q&A Callihanclan I've seen some back and forth regarding mandates so i figured I'd ask again for clarity; knuckles can not leave the floating island, yes? No?
Acquainted Sonic Fan I just wanted to ask something. Is Shadow allowed to have any emotional attachments or friendships with anyone?
SonicStar917 Mr. Flynn, I heard you explained how the Nocturnus Echidna Clan was different...

RedScarfUK For both Ian and Kyle: If you could insert yourself as a character in the Sonic universe, what species would you be and why?
Tik Tik Now that modern merchandise for Super Tails exists, do you think you would approach using other super characters, or would you still avoid trying just to play it safe?
Gawdzilla Shadow seems to be the character everyone has an opinion on these days, especially comparing the Archie days to IDW. I think the part people tend to overlook is the impact Hope Kintobor had on Shadow in the Archie run as almost a “therapy human”/Maria 2.0 for him while the Shadow of the Games/IDW just had to move on from his past on his own. In retrospect, do you think that Hope’s presence may have hindered Archie’s Shadow’s healing progress more than helped?
Mike B. Do you think the freedom fighters, in their most current iteration, are better suited to go along with the game cast but have more supportive roles or do their own thing with the game cast supporting them from time to time?
Liam B. Why was it chosen that Sally had to see somebody else (Monkey Kahn) in order to realize that she wanted to be with Sonic again? How does the time progression in that scenario work?
starline simp for life Hey Ian, as someone who absolutely loves #HarleyQuinn and #drstarline I couldn't help but notice the similiarities between them (these two being the most noticable of the parallels) @BumbleKast were you inspired by Harley or the BTAS story Mad Love when writing Starline? https://twitter.com/smoresboi/status/1297597592042315776?s=20 Note: Tweet linked as it contains pictures for context.
SonicBlueRanger I don't know if this has been asked before but what was the writing process for you contributions to the IDW TMNT comic like? Did you have to break the stories with Tom Waltz?
Breezy There’s been a lot of animosity directed at recent portrayals in the comics: Shadow for being an arrogant jerk and Tails for cowering in fear as he does before Chaos 0 in Forces. A lot of naysayers have pointing fingers at Ian for this, which is unfair because I know he cares about the (proper) personality and characterization of the cast just like the rest of us. Would you mind clearing up any misinformation on this?
Eduardo Q. For characters based on video game properties (specially long-running ones), how do you balance which abilities are they able to use in a story? I imagine this was much easier for Mega Man,

Ink Pants Has there ever been a moment where you found yourself really hitting a wall in your Sonic writing (Archie or IDW) that was just preventing you from making any progress, and how did you overcome it?
Scruffymatt I've got a hypothetical question for you today. In IDW Sonic #29 we saw Sonic and Silver transform into their super forms at the last second and save the day. What I'm wondering is... what would have happened had Zavok been just that little bit quicker and managed to stop them?
tKoS There have been a few things you've told us that were originally intended for Archie reboot, such as the Metal Virus and Mimic. It makes me curious to know if there's anything else we've seen so far in IDW that was intended for Archie? Or even things that appeared in reboot but were originally planned for pre-reboot?
IanWaffles ...I don’t think you’ve ever truly topped your work on Eggman during the Pre reboot days of archie... Would you agree with this observation or do you think IDW Eggman is portrayed the same as his archie counterpart? And what has informed the way you write the character in both series? Do you think you ever went to far?
AWF I'm just going to ask what everyone's thinking and chuckle when I get an ambiguous, dismissive answer. So.. when is Tangle and Whisper's wedding?
Groovy[K]2000 It's been stated in the Sonic Comic encyclopedia that the original robotnik was the only one erased by the ultimate annihlator thanks to Snively targeting his DNA. If that's the case, then why did Sonic need to be saved by the billionth ring? We see him escape that void of nothingness and come back to life thanks to the ring.

PRIORITY Q&A Chris A. Will there ever be a crossover of Archie Sonic, idw sonic and sonic the comic once everyone agrees to this?
Papadripopolous I feel there's a generational divide in the fan and public reaction to Metal Gear.... Do you have any thoughts on this notion of a generational divide in the reception of this game series, and were you to do that story connecting MGSV and MG, would you lean more towards a Kojima-like real-life political commentary, or a game-lore 90s thriller approach?
Diane W. Who do you think is the best thing to happen to Pokémon, Dawn (from Diamond & Pearl), Serena (from XY), or Lillie (from Sun & Moon)? For whatever answer you pick, do you think it was the best season of the Pokémon anime? If so, please explain why.
Scruffymatt Quick question for you: did Thrash the Tasmanian Devil still exist post-Genesis Wave? We never saw him again after the Endangered Species arc. I was wondering whether he might have ever shown up again had the ArchieSonic series continued, or if he got Thanos'd out of existence like so many others did.
tKoS In issue 44 of Sonic Universe (part 4 of Secret Freedom) there is a small scene that I thought was peculiar. While Silver and Shard are fighting Naugus, the latter realizes that Shard is a robot and asks Geoffrey to toss him his Chaos Emerald wand to crystallize him. I find this odd because I thought Naugus was capable of crystallizing things just fine without the need of it. So why did Naugus ask for his wand in order to do this? This may be another case where you don't remember because it's been so long which I understand but I hope you can answer to the best of your ability.
STANDARD Q&A PC-The-Unicorn Ian, if you were given the chance, how do you think you would incoporate the Metarex and Cosmo in the IDW Sonic series?
Gawdzilla More Kaiju in Sonic the Franchise yay or nay? And who wins in a Destroy All Monsters Brawl: Perfect Chaos, Ilbis, Biolizard, Metal/Master Overlord (gotta give the mecha some love), giant Zavok or Devil Doom?
Joseph T. -[in] sonic issue 30, why did you hint knuxouge at the end(dreaklock tease), despite the fact she when gaga over his emerald the previous issue? Whats your stance on who rouge likes then between shadow and knuckles and who do you prefer her with?

PRIORITY Q&A Papadripopolous You mentioned you were, in a cancelled project, writing a story connecting MGSV to the first Metal Gear. Small question-can you give more information about that, about the project or about your idea itself?
BlueTidalGamer -For Ian. Since Vanilla's debut in the Sonic series, we've known very little about her other than being Cream's mother and that she raised her to be polite and formal to others via strict teachings. We know nothing about the life she lives and we hardly get to see her do much other than appear in stories to give Cream a personal motivation. My question is, how would you personally approach a character like Vanilla to give her more of a background and something to do in her life? -For Kyle. What are your personal top 5 favourite soundtracks from any video game?
Andrew D. Priority Q&A: Did you have any plans for Mr. X after the Mega Man 6 adaptation? In the final issue, we see in a one page summary of the events of Mega Man 6 what seems to be Mr. X getting thrown into a portal.
tKoS Hey Ian, I had been browsing through the old Q&A threads on the BKC forums via WayBack Machine and found an interesting question where someone asked you about the Power Gems. At the time you had answered that you would be touching upon them in the Encyclopedia. I checked as best as I could my copy of the Sonic Comic Encyclopedia for any entries about them and couldn't find any. I also checked any issues regarding them because I could've sworn it was said somewhere that they were created by Robotnik or were a mineral dug up but found neither. So what do you think was the deal with the Power Gems? Were they manmade gems or were they something naturally occurring that could be found in the world?
NASB How would you or another writer have tackled Katella the Huntress? She’s arguably more interesting than Breezie and her story is open-ended to continuation. I think she’s too ‘problematic’ to bring over other than in-name-only, or could that be circumvented successfully for fans?
STANDARD Q&A Tik Tik Thanks for clearing up the "two worlds" thing. My question for you now is have you ever felt the urge to just ask every question about game continuity you possibly could or do you feel that is a dangerous thing to do? Do you fear angering sega by pointing out their plot holes or are you afraid of the potential answers you get only opening up more questions?

STANDARD Q&A PC-The-Unicorn So Ian, in the 30 years later story line, Tails and Mina are together, which was launched off the 25 years later story line I think. Now I haven't read most of the issues before 160 but from what I heard from fans who have, Tails and Mina never really interacted that much and only had one like one moment that could have been taken as romantic. So I'm just wondering, even though the 30 years later storyline is an alterante timeline of the series, is the Tails and Mina romance would have been something you would have tried exploring/fleshing out?
Tik Tik What exactly IS Lost Hex?
RedScarfUK When writing the lyrics for Mina's songs, were they written with a tune in mind, and if so, what sort of tunes? Fan music video by Meelz: https://youtube.com/watch?v=895woEDlTWw
The Shadow Emperor Ian, if you had gotten around to bringing back Bow Sparrow in the reboot universe, would he have retained his appearance and accent or would he have changed to differentiate him more from Rob o' the Hedge?
Jim J. Do you think there is more of a chance to see Blaze and Silver team up in a battle or on a mission in the IDW comics than there was in the Archie comics? Their game counterparts are said to work well together, but Blaze and Silver shared few words in the Archie comics.
Big Sonic Fan Patrick Why were there extreme claims that quote "The World Fell" during the last saga? I feel that it is misleading to claim the "WHOLE WORLD" fell to the Deadly Six since there are bound to be places out there unaffected by what happened. As the comic has shown places like Spiral Village were never affected by the events of Sonic Forces even though 99% of the world had fallen to the Eggman Empire. This suggests there are places that weren't affected by Dr Eggman at all in spite of his claims of ruling 99% of the world.
Akira T. ...I feel that SEGA is relying too much on their Sonic the Hedgehog IP to keep themselves afloat....Would you please mind sharing your thoughts on this matter? Thanks.
MetalSkulkBane Are wispsons slowly disappearing from the comic (aside for Whisper)
Breezy In Sonic 4, it is revealed that Metal Sonic was abandoned on Little Planet’s surface; throughout the entire time period between the events of Sonic CD and Episode Metal, he was supposedly out of commission. This would contradict his appearances in Sonic the Fighters, R, Triple Trouble, and Knuckles’ Chaotix, which were all initially believed to take place a...

PRIORITY Q&A Papadripolous Fans tend to interpret the Diamond Cutters, their mother base in an oil rig structure, their tactical espionage action life etc, as a reference to a certain game series directed by a japanese gentleman who's friends with Guillermo Del Toro. My question is, assuming this is intentional, was Sega aware, or did you sneak it by? But hold on, it's not over yet- if it was intentional, was it ALWAYS intentional, or did the idea just come after you saw people react to Whisper by pointing out she's a sniper wolf? Did you put your will to paper or allow yourself to let the memes come to life?
tKoS Is it possible for non-echidna characters to be possessed by Enerjak? Could conditions to "become Enerjak" be met by characters with Chaos Powers such as Shadow or Mogul?
AWF You wrote Mega Man. Did you ever really play? If so, what was your favorite game? Which boss do you remember giving you the hardest time? I hope this counts as one question.
Madeline SegaStar7 To Ian, I love the episode of Sonic Boom that you wrote, Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Worse-er. Its so cute! How did the plot for Sonic & Tails brotherly competition come to be? Were you given this story to write a script for, or did you come up with this story yourself?
Andrew D. Did you have any plans for Mr. X after the Mega Man 6 adaptation? In the final issue, we see in a one page summary of the events of Mega Man 6 what seems to be Mr. X getting thrown into a portal.
Rachel W. My question for you is, how do you get into/find a characters voice when you write dialogue? Are there any techniques you would recommend for this process?
Diane W. What kind of plans would you have for Locke if SEGA didn’t order you to kill him off?
J. If the Archie Mega Man series had continued, how would you have written Mega Man nearly killing Wily in MM7?
SaluteYourCat Peppy girl energies collide! if Tangle and Marine met, who would be the first to tire out?
Scruffymatt I was wondering if you checked out any of the new trailers and stuff that came out of DC Fandome, and if so, what got you the most hyped?

Ink Pants Serious question time: I was wondering if you could maybe share some of the sentiments or stories that might have been collectively experienced or expressed by the team when you all got word that Archie Sonic was to close up shop?
Andrew D. When Dr. Starline was looking through the portals that he opened in the beginning of Eggman’s Day Off, the artwork in the portals was lifted from previous issues by the same artist. Would you say those events were happening simultaneously, or was it a simple case of reusing art and them not being the exact same events?
AWF How come when it comes to Sonic characters, species like insects and bats (and even some foxes) can fly, but literal birds can't?
Alex M. ...since it is rare to see them ever wear something other that their usual stuff, when you decide to change that do you have to ask permission from SEGA to do it, even if just for one issue or something? And, can it only be stuff that they've already wore on other official Sonic stuff or are you allowed to come up with your own original outfits?

PRIORITY Q&A StarMech (Ko-Fi) I am a bit curious in regard to Eggmans badniks in the IDW comic: Like do all run on small animals? Even the ones that used not to like Egg Pawns and the other bots from Sonic Heroes? Which games are you not allowed to take badniks from? Either way keep up the good work!
shdowhunt60 (Ko-Fi) With issue #29, discourse around a certain character has flared up. While I think it was a bit of an overreaction given the context, it feels like Tails as a character has gotten very little respect recently. What are your thoughts on his role in the franchise?
tKoS What's the population of New Mobotropolis? Don't need to get too specific, a rounded up number will do just fine.
Ink Pants So, just how much NSFW Sonic literature have YOU written, Ian? Don't worry, we're all friends here. It'll just be between you, me, and the internet. P.S: I am so sorry, Kyle forced me to ask you this, I'm just the messenger.
InvadeTurbo Tunis Ian, how familiar are you with the Ratchet & Clank series? I'm asking this cause it's my favorite video game series and franchise overall next to Sonic, and I think you would be an amazing writer for it especially with it's over the top humor and action if the series went back into comics. IF you know about the series, how would you make it into a comic story wise, or would you just adapt the games into a comic?
Diane W. Hey Ian, if the name of Sally’s brother were to be changed so that it’s not an anagram of her name, should his name be “Elijah” or “Timothy”, or do you have another name in mind?
Chris A. 3 years ago ian you said that idw bring back and completing older runs of fan favorite comics like pre reboot and post reboot Archie Sonic could it do the same with sonic the comic?
Scruffymatt In the wake of the metal virus saga, I was wondering what each of your favourite zombie games and/or movies are?

PRIORITY Q&A AWF If Naugus's's magic turned Bunnie's cybernetic limbs organic, and turned nanite grass into real grass, as well as anything else it could have done that we never got to see due to the cancellation, wink wink hashtag knowing smile, could Naugus magic have "cured" the Metal Virus? If you had used the Metal Virus idea in the Archie comics, is this an event we could have eventually seen play out?
Scruffymatt One of my favourite parts of IDW Sonic #29 was that Eggman got taken down by Froggy - I laughed so hard at that! That said, I was a little disappointed we didn't actually get to see Eggman finally getting a taste of his own medicine. My question is: in previous drafts of this issue's script, was there ever a version where we would have gotten to see Eggman fully transformed into a zombot? What about Amy, Tails and Espio?
AfroLuffyX One missed opportunity That I thought In The Zombot Story arc are Zombots fusing with one another to form grotesque and Monsters versions of them, Was this idea strap during the planning stages of the Arc?
tKoS So I guess my question is: How were the Destructix able to travel outside of Mobius Prime with what appears to be a normal Warp Ring? And at the risk of sounding like a double question, what ever happened to Scourge's Super Charged Warp Ring? Basically I'm just asking for some clarification on the Warp Rings. Thanks!
Andrew D. You’ve mentioned multiple times certain Sonic games being noncanon. Do you know a list of all games that are canon and noncanon?
Diane W. Team Dark are not friends and are not affiliated with GUN in the modern games and IDW comics. Which brings me to this question; is Shadow still carrying out Maria’s wish to protect humanity and giving them a chance to be happy, or does he not care about Maria or her wish because he hates humanity according to SEGA? Sorry if I sounded a bit cynical there, I’m just still bothered by SEGA’s ideal characterisation of Shadow.
Mechanist Gamma (Ko-Fi) Ive got a question when it comes to Ians view on the Sonic timeline - with Team Sonic Racing, does it come before or after Sonic Forces? If its after, will Team Sonic Racing be referenced at any point in IDW as taking place between stories?
Saturn Flicky The JP SA1 guides say Tikals era was 3000 years ago. Battle says Emerl is 4000 years old. Chronicles says both were 4000 years ago. When you said Chronicles is non-canon, is this the official word from Sega? Should its timeline change & Echidna/Gizoid connection be disregarded?
Ian and Kyle wrassle more of your questions, and Ian is flummoxed by a previous answer.

PRIORITY Q&A Andrew D. If no life existed in Silver’s future before he returned to the past to help fight against the Metal Virus, then how was he born? Does changing the future mean that he is instead creating an alternate future and traveling to that new one and ultimately leaving his original doomed future behind somewhere to remain doomed? And regardless, when he returned to his future to see no life and sparse metallic plant life, I find it hard that he didn’t touch anything at all. Was he super duper cautious and didn’t touch anything, not even the ground, or was the Metal Virus no longer contagious at that point in time? Why would animal life deteriorate but not plant life?
Diane W. In the future altered by King Sonic, Shadow was the one who took down the Eggman Empire and became a tyrannical ruler for the sake of world peace until Sonic, Tails, and Lara-Su ended his reign. What were the events in the altered future that led to Shadow destroying Eggman and his Empire and beginning his tyrannical rule?
Chris A. Hey ian so I’m wondering is there going to be a tv show or game based on pre reboot Archie Sonic I mean everyone would really love that and you get to see your old characters again?
AWF Could Wisps be infected by the Metal Virus?
Ink Pants Hi Ian. I was curious what your more personal thoughts might have been when you were gearing up to write Sally's multiple sacrifices (getting shot and roboticized) at the beginning of the Mecha Sally arc. Self-sacrifice screams Sally Acorn, but this was probably the single most devastating experience for the FF, and for many readers. I have to imagine that was a fairly painful/difficult story to write even with knowledge of how it would conclude. I know it punched a hole right through my heart.
Scruffymatt There are a number of rom hacks available on the web which allow you to play Sonic games as different characters such as Shadow, Eggman, or Sally. There are even some official Sonic games where you can play as alternate characters, such as Knuckles in Sonic 2 or Tails in certain ports of Sonic CD. If you could choose any past Sonic game - classic or otherwise - to be altered or modded so that you could play as Tangle or Whisper, what would you pick?
J. A few episodes ago Ian said that IDW Eggman is not related to IDW Gerald. What's the story behind this? Personal thing? Sega policy? What's up?
BlueTidalGamer For Ian: With Evan taking over the main IDW book for the next saga and you assisting here and th...

PRIORITY Q&A Andrew D. In the story, “Eggman’s Day Off”, from Sonic Annual 2020, Dr. Starline is looking at events happening through portals from the Warp Topaz. Were these events happening simultaneously? Also, those events took place after Dr. Starline had already started to have doubts about working for Dr. Eggman, yet in this story he still seems to be a big fanboy. Would you say this story takes place before the events seen in the portals and ignore the contents of what was seen, or would you say this takes place after those events seen in the portals and ignore Dr. Starline’s unwavering admiration of Dr. Eggman? Or perhaps you might have a different solution altogether?
AfroLuffyX Since Webtoon series like tower of god and god of high school managed to have anime adaptations with the help of Crunchyroll, how would you feel If webtoon come to you and talk about Drogune getting animated series? I know by the time I’m Writing this question there isn’t that much material to adapt, but! would you gave the staff The outline of the story you planned or allowed to staff to do their own thing with the material and how much creative input would you do?
Koopaling Krew I know that Sonic is "the fastest thing alive". And Shadow seems to be about on par with Sonic's speed consistently. But I've noticed that his shoes have these sort of "boosters" on the soles whenever he runs. So my question to you is, is Shadow as fast as Sonic because of the aid of his special shoes? Or is Shadow naturally as fast as Sonic and his shoes' functions are for a different purpose?
Scruffymatt A hypothetical question for you this week: if the Sonic cast decided to have a go at playing Dungeons and Dragons (or any other kind of tabletop RPG), what race and class do you think each of them would play? Would Tails be the dungeon master, or do you think someone else would better fit that role? On a semi-related note, I'm curious as to whether Bumblekwest is still happening at some point in the future? I'm assuming it's on the back burner while Ian's voice still isn't 100%?
AWF I know Ian has said before that he doesn't indulge in Sonic related fan content because, as writer for the official comic he worries it might affect his creativity, worried people might say he plucked ideas from their stuff, etc,
Despite getting distracted by singing, Ian dives into answering more of your Q&A.

Priority Q&A
Alex M. ...Will the female characters ever be the ones to lead the charge? You know like Amy, Tangle, Whisper, Cream, etc. With all the focus and dvelopment Cream has been having I would expect her to play a major role later on. Also, now that Metal virus is over, what will happen to the restoration? Will it always be a thing? Or will Amy end it/change it into something else?
Diane W. In Sonic Universe #16, Espio brings up “The Sneak”, a name Sonic went under in StH #97 when he had to stay at Knothole under house arrest. How exactly does Espio know about this because, during that, Espio was on Angel Island along with Mighty and Vector when it was sent to a pocket dimension when the Dark Legion fired the Quantum Beam?
Markus A. What are your thoughts on issue 94 of Archie Sonic and the idea of sonic And the Other freedom fighters going to School ? My opinion on the issue is Sonic going to school at that point in time in the book history was an Extremely a bad idea especially when Eggman is still alive and kicking plus they didn’t need to go to school and they could’ve written issue 94 about sonic and Co. getting jobs The whole issue Felt like I was reading a fanfic
Chris A. Now that Archie sonic is gone would you bring all characters from archie sonic into idw sonic since they don’t have a home anymore like the knothole freedom fighters?
Scruffymatt I've been doing a bit of thinking about the Sonic Mania timeline recently, and I'm wondering what it was that caused the timelines to split. For a few years I've been wondering about how classic Sonic is "from another dimension," but I recently came across the theory that the Time Eater snatching classic Sonic, Tails and Eggman in Sonic Generations created an alternate timeline - the Sonic Mania timeline, if you will. But now that this thing finally makes sense to me, I've started wondering what the cause of the timeline split is. What changed that made the Phantom Ruby appear in the Mania timeline, but not the main series timeline? Sonic and Tails got back to their own time at the end of the game in Generations, so that shouldn't have made a significant difference. Was the big change that classic Eggman was trapped in White Space for an unknown amount of time? Or is there possibly something to the theory that the Phantom Ruby is actually a fragment of the Time Eater which broke off and fell backwards in time when the Super Sonics destroyed it? I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on this one,
Ian got got by the Gatcha, but still has time for some Q&A.

Priority Q&A
Scruffymatt Do you know if his plan where the ARK crashes into the Earth was automatically activated by Eggman once he inserted the seventh Chaos Emerald into the Eclipse Cannon? Or was it a failsafe that was triggered when Sonic used the fake Chaos Emerald to destroy the cannon? Did the scene of Sonic wrecking the Eclipse Cannon at the end of Sonic Adventure 2's Hero story even canonically happen...?
AfroLuffyX I was wondering what type of theme songs from famous Singers and bands would you give to tangle and whisper For Tangle I picked Itsuka Doko ka" by Kuchiroro https://youtu.be/JXEk21qqEdw For Whisper i Picked Island in the Sun by Weezer https://youtu.be/erG5rgNYSdk Now you are free to listen to the songs and give your opinion oh my choices but I’m curious what songs would you pick for them?
Andrew D. How does the process differ between being the sole writer for the comic and taking a back seat while another writer takes over with your input? How much of the story are you told about, and how does it effect you coming back as sole writer, assuming we’ll see you writing on the book again.
Diane W. Which season do you think The Simpsons should’ve ended...? And do you think voice actors should be casted based on their talent, regardless of who they are?
Koopaling Krew Congrats on Tangle and Whisper appearing in Dash and Speed Battle! I was wondering, in the event that the two appear in a mainline Sonic game, or a major spin-off like Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games or Sonic Racing, that will likely mean those two will have voice actors for the first time. So my question is, who do you think should, or be a cool fit to, voice Tangle and Whisper? (and if you had infinite money and sway to pick any voice talent)
BlueTidalGamer For Ian. Say somebody wanted to consider writing for a future career, but they haven't the time or funds to take a college course in writing. Is it still possible to build up your skills on your own for several years and then put your name out there for possible freelance writing jobs, or would you personally recommend to save up the funds and take the proper...

Priority Q&A Scruffymatt Hi Ian and Kyle, how are you guys doing today? Ian, when the ArchieSonic comics got rebooted in issue #252, you were given the opportunity to do a lot of new world building and create a number of new freedom fighter characters from various parts of the world... Did you have any plans for stories or characters in this area of the world that will eventually see the light of day in Lost Hedgehog Tales? If not, what do you think you'd come up with if you were asked to pitch a new team of characters from this region?
Alex M. In the last two Sonic IDW Annuals, why is it that Amy didn't really physically appear but was still featured in the covers? Will she ever actually appear in an Annual or is there just no ideas/interest on a story featuring her? And two, I notice that despite the leadership/tactician role she's been filling, she is a lot less physically active that she was before. Is that because of her role in Forces and is it permanent or will she become more of an active fighter as the comic goes along? Lastly I wanted to thank you for what you said in the last Q&A about Tangle & Whisper and creating them to have more active female characters in the story. I'm glad to hear you want there to be more active female characters. You see i'm a trans woman, and it is very important to me to see more relevant female characters in the stories i'm into. I hope this means there will be even more of a push for female characters in the comic and more female focus in general. Or at least more balance between the male and female characters. PS. Can you guys say "trans rights!" please?
Diane W. About your Sonic stories before joining Archie...Ian, why do you always write your Sonic the Hedgehog fan-fictions as grim, dark, and mean-spirited where you portray the characters as hypocritical terrorists, evil generic villains, being jerks to other characters despite their actual dynamic in the official games, GUN as villains, and either brutally killing off characters, or giving them downer endings where they lose everything and everyone that they love, sometimes deciding to take over the world for the sake of world peace? Did you use to have problems as a teenager or do you just like writing dark and gritty stories of a franchise targeted at kids for no reason at all?
Crooker Can robots go super? I've seen some say that they CANNOT yet we've seen it with Mecha Sonic in s3k and Neo Metal in IDW. Are all robots capable of it or just the ones based on mobians? Could a robian sonic turn super?

Priority Q&A Scruffymatt Hey there fellas, I hope you're having a good podcast. I was wondering what your favourite Sonic game soundtracks are? I've been listening to the Sonic Generations and Sonic Mania soundtracks recently while I've been working on my achievements, and those two are just chef’s kiss
Crooker What kinds of things would you try to do to differentiate the Chaos Emeralds from the Super Emeralds, in a hypothetical alternate reality where they were still canon?
Chris A. If Ken Penders didn’t filled the lawsuit against archie comics would the pre reboot sonic still exist and reached to issue 300?
Andrew D. It has just been revealed that Tangle and Whisper will be coming to Sonic Dash and Sonic Forces: Speed Battle. Are they fully owned by Sega, or is it a joint ownership between them and Sega? And do you think this opens the door to other Sonic characters from the other comics or tv shows? I’d love to see Sticks for example.
Koopaling Krew What is your reaction to Tangle and Whisper appearing in Sonic mobile games? Does this influence your decisions in how you make new characters for the IDW series?
Diane W. In the Archie reboot, if there was a mandate that SEGA characters are not allowed to have family members introduced into the comics, a mandate that Penders characters or locations or events cannot be mentioned or named beyond vague references, and a mandate that classic forms of characters can’t be implied to be younger forms of the characters, how were you able to get away with giving Shadow a biological brother in the form of Eclipse the Darkling, making Naugus and Wendy Witchcart brother and sister, retelling the story of how Sally met Nicole in holo-form for the first time, and making Sonic, Tails, and even some of the SatAM cast look like their classic selves when going into flashbacks of their past?
Standard Q&A Adriana R. Do you know any character name in Jackal Squad? We the fan know that Infinite is not his real name but we really want to know. Some of the fans have idea of jackal Squad members' name that can be close to it.
Joe W. Do you have any plans to compile Drogune into a physical book?
Eduardo Q. Hi, With the new BumbleKast format, I was motivated to ask something, but not sure what. Screw it, I'm asking something dumb: If the BumbleKing and the KNGI network would fuse, would their name become the BumbleKNGI?

Priority Q&A Andrew D. In Archie Mega Man, when Xander winds up traveling through time, he sees the events of Worlds Collide. Since those events took place in the future, what would have happened when Mega Man reached that point in time? Would he have been destined to relive those events?
Soni SEGA seems to be pushing Zavok and the Zeti a lot in many titles after Lost World, do you think it’s a good idea on SEGA’s part to keep the Zeti around?
Diane W. What if Bunnie got infected with the Metal Virus? Since the Metal Virus cannot infect something that’s already metal, what would happen to her robotic limbs? Will they remain on her as a zombot or would they fall off and new limbs grow in their place as the metal virus can heal damage that the zombots take?
Standard Q&A Omega Markus If IDW put you in charge of Doing a Dragon ball comic Book how would you Have writing it and what Era of the characters would you use The Kid Goku Era of the characters or the Z era of the characters like Sayian,Frieza,Cell or buu arc or have it take place after one of the Z movies How would you and handle a crossover with Sonic and dragon ball
TBF What were your greatest struggles in your lives and how did you manage to overcome them?
Pink H. Are the Zone Cops/Corps gonna be returning at all? I found them rather interesting in their role and how they also introduced a vast multiverse full of various Zones and great potential, plus we never got to see Zone Cop Zhadow(Shadow). So I'm curious if they are gonna come back at some point?
20 Questions with James M. -Ian, can IDW Sonic fight an evil non-robo twin version of himself? -Ian, are you looking into the Archie Sonic Online fan comic? -Ian, did you know the Sonic Underground Epilogue will be done by fans? -Ian, does IDW Eggman have black and red SatAM Robotnik eyes beneath his glasses? -Ian, do you feel Charmy the Bee is the worst Sonic character? -Ian, do you think Sonic could beat the Schwarzenegger Terminator T-800? -Ian, if Sega gave the all clear for IDW to continue and complete unfinished Archie Sonic stories, will you be happy? -Ian, would you be willing to write Terminator comics for Dark Horse if hired? -Ian, had the lawsuit and the reboot never happened, was Dr Finetevus going to be seen in the Archie Sonic universe again? -Ian, did you have anything planned for if the Archie Sonic comics were going to have a big finale?

PRIORITY Q&A Crooker Outside of Metal Sonic (or Shard by extension), who is your favourite Sonic robot seen in the games? I've always found the potential for the other Sonic 'bots to have stories of their own unique from Metal Sonic interesting and wanted to know if you guys have any pet favourites. (sonic bot as in Robot Based On Sonic)
Andrew D. Is stuff from the Sonic movie like Longclaw off limits? Or has it not even been brought up yet? Speaking of which, is there anything from the movies that you would like to use (you don’t have to say what if you can’t), and what are your thoughts on it getting a sequel? I’m feeling the hype!
John B. Was Norse Mythology an influence for Drogune? And a quick followup, what were other influences for Drogune?
Diane W. I used to like Sonamy but now I see the relationship as abusive and unhealthy. What’s worse, Amy obsessing over Sonic is what Sonamy fans like about the paring. Amy's behavior is not a good influence on girls. Think about it, if SEGA does decide to make the pairing canon, they’d be sending a terrible message to girls everywhere, which is stalking and obsessing over their heroes will be rewarded. What do you personally think of this?
STANDARD Q&A Kohana C [...]I would like to ask for your help and advice. Initially, I thought I would send a collection of CGI animations to Sega that would be the "cutscenes" for my story. But I've realized that realistically this wouldn't happen, even if by a miracle my story was accepted. My only plan now is to somehow catch their attention, perhaps by making animated short stories and becoming a part of the official team. Maybe then I could share my idea in a presentation of some sort. But I still feel lost and worried that I can't achieve this. Thus, that brings me here. I want to thank you again for taking the time to read this email, and for listening to my personal story.

PRIORITY Q&A Diane W. During the Iron Dominion Saga, most pacifically, the Journey to the East Arc in Sonic Universe, Espio was revealed to be a member of the Shinobi Clan and may or may not be in relation to the clan’s leader, the Bride of Constant Vigil. Was this particular backstory for Espio a personal head-canon of yours that you integrated into the comics or is your head-canon for Espio’s backstory something else entirely?
Crooker did Shard take any design cues from robot master aesthetics? I know he had the arm canon as 'Metal 2.0' way back when, but the way his limbs were drawn always looked very Mega Man to me.
Andrew D. Are there any plans for more Cosmo after Mighty Martian #5? I just finished it, and I need more! Also, does Super Duck exist in the same world as the older series, or is it an alternate future?
STANDARD Q&A Toonman I was just curious & was wondering if you're able to elaborate or not (& sorry if this seems like an old topic), why was Infinite's backstory not explored a bit more in his mini comic for Sonic Forces? More so than just "he wants to see the world burn," well, to me it seemed, at least. Were you not able to tell more of his story because you weren't given enough info or was told not to tell too much just in case it may have contradicted the game/needed to follow some guidelines? Or also might have been where you were limited to 4 pages?
Tik Tik Why would anyone who fought the Deadly Six before send a robot to fight the Deadly Six?
PC-The-Unicorn So Ian, Dr. Wily want to rule the world, but exactly what would a world ruled by Dr. Willy be like exactly? Unlike Eggman, who wants to rule the world due to him believing the planet can be improved with his machines, Willy seems to just want to be recognized for his genius. So would a world ruled by Dr. Willy be a terrible place to live in?
On this episode, Ian returns to power through your Q&A. But first - guest star Aleah Baker returns to talk about the legacy of the world's current obsession: Animal Crossing.

Priority Q&A Koopaling Krew I got this idea when Sega presented "Tribot" as their annual April Fools news. I know fan characters are VERY touchy when it comes to copyrights. BUT if Sega themselves make an official "fan character", do you actually have access to possibly bring them to the IDW Sonic comic?
Andrew D. After the events of Worlds Collide rebooted Sonic’s multiverse, I recall the idea of a multiverse getting scrapped due to issues with the real-world ownership of the Cosmic Interstate. Then we winded up getting some sort of multiverse with various Capcom and Sega franchises in Worlds Unite. Can you share or explain how the multiverse, or whatever it was, worked after the reboot? Did Blaze’s World exist in its own multiverse alongside the other franchises?
Diane W. When the Council of Acorn, apart from Rotor and Uncle Chuck, chose to side with Naugus despite the fact that he is clearly the bad guy, were they all brainwashed into letting him become king and siding with him purely out of fear? And was there going to be a story where the council gets disbanded for arbitrary siding with someone like Naugus, as well as refusing to allow the Freedom Fighters to go out on missions, even though permission was never required in earlier issues, as well as other consequences like, for example, Tails having a major falling out with his mother for betraying him and his friends?
Standard Q&A Valri Can the phantom ruby create other phantom rubies? Then you can be like Oprah and go "You get a phantom ruby! And you get a phantom ruby! EVERYONE GETS A PHANTOM RUBY!”
ErrantHarpy You mentioned that you pitched Marine in IDW, but were shot down. Is Sega just done with her, do you know? Ever since Sticks showed up and looks so similar it’s like they forgot she existed. Did they give you a reason you’re allowed to disclose? I just miss her!
DevyKun I realize I'm maybe stepping into sizzling grounds here, but I have to ask. In the midst of the Zombot Apocalypse, as I'll call it, why haven't G.U.N gotten involved, much less go after the high-speed carrier, Sonic?
Frazmatron Did you ever talk with any of the original writers of Sonic Underground for the epilogue in Lost Hedgehog Tales or is what will be in there all from you?
DivineBlood ...Is...Miles Prower=Miles Per Hour... Really a thing? Because...my brain is leaking out of my ears…

PRIORITY Q&A
Diane W Would you be opposed to an idea of a modern Sonic game where the writing ...get deconstructed, like... Neon Genesis Evangelion ... and Puella Magi Madoka Magica ....
TheImagineBreaker121212 [Question on the multiverse of Sonic]
Crooker ...what is the likelihood of being able to openly show Sally's bisexuality?
Daniel H. ...Would you ever consider script analysis work? Short to feature film length? For Mr. Crouse: I need a game. Something cheap, light-hearted, easy to play, and can be downloaded onto a Mac. Whatcha got?
STANDARD Q&A Dani G The question is this: When are you guys bringing [Mephiles] back? ...Also I would like to know what inspired you to write the Sonic franchise.
RedScarfUK If Sega was to decide to bring back the name Mobius for Sonic's world and give Blaze's world an official name for the first time, what do you think it would be?
Scruffymatt Quick guys, what's your zombie survival plan, and how would you need to edit that plan if you were dealing with zombots instead of zombies?
PC The Unicorn [Silver's] future ...everything is metal. Is that something fans can expect learning about? Also, is Silver basically a time paradox now ...?
Liam B. Have you ever talked to Ken [Penders] personally about the legal squeeze? Perhaps you could appeal to his inner art-lover to let you make plans to finish it; or maybe he would choose that if he was somehow involved!
James M does SEGA have mandates against Sonic meeting AU versions of himself or is the door always open for Sonic vs anti-Sonic?
Almiron R. Will you make more world building when the characters dealt with the fallout of the Metal Virus?
Starblaze145 Let’s say hypothetically, Tangle decided to form a “team” with Jewel and Whisper; who would fulfill the roles of Speed, Fly and Power respectively? What do you think their team name would be?
sonicoooknight Now is this lack of speaking [by Metal Sonic] in idw as vanilla Metal a mandate or creative decision? (I could see Metal ignoring Sonic's comments after all as long as he can wreck him).
P. Preston I have long heard that it isn't possible to work on a comic series based off of a pre-existing franchise if a person posts stories on the internet that aren't Original Ideas/Intellectual Property of their own, or if they post fanfiction/work in a fan project. Is there any truth behind this?
Pink H. Are the Zone Cops/Corps gonna be returning at all?
Tylerrenee M.

ALEAH Q&A Andrew D. What was it like pitching the Red Star Ring power up? Did you have trouble convincing anyone that it wasn’t a Super Transformation for Nicole?
Pptori When/why/how did you decide to become a writer? Is there any advice or recommendation for people who want to start writing?
Makalosa M. What have been the greatest challenges when writing/creating for the Archie Sonic book? And, what story that you’ve been involved in has been the most fun?
CaptainAWF Was there ever planned to be a cure for Cassia's illness and what was going to be the ultimate fate of the deer sisters?
TheImagineBreaker121212 I've been doing research on sonic and relations to greek and some math, in the games; sonic vs chaos is the hero archetype vs the serpentine creature, archie comics; eggman relates chaos energy that sonic uses as something beyond quantum measures that leaps into chaos theory and in the ixis arc chaos energy is referred as being related to chaotic forces making up everything (chaos from greek basically) essentially being the embodiment of chaos is some grand order, was there some plan on using sonic for a major event?
Digamma Ey Aleah! I could be completely misremembering the premise behind this question but: I can vaguely remember Ian once complaining on the bumbleking forms about how sometimes the rare instances of Archie that weren't written by him would often still have him listed as writer on solicits, and I have an even fuzzier, unsure if it's legit or misremembered memory of something else of you following that up with mentioning that there's a few off panels miscredited to you (since you wrote a bulk of the reboot-era off panels) and that def has me interested. I think the only off panels credited to you that make me go "hmm maybe someone else wrote them" are the off-panels for 261-262 (so the middle of Waves of Change); Off Panels were done in batches of 4, with the same art team and writer within a batch (with the the main book batches and the Universe batches often but not always with the same teams). For 261-264's batch and The Great Chaos Caper on Universe's equivalent batch, you were only credited you as writer on 261-262; 263-264 and all 4 of the Universe batch have Ian as writer (notably his only reboot-era off panels other than 252's). Now while you and Ian are the duo where it would make sense for you to co-wrote a ...

PRIORITY Q&A Diane W. Ever since the “incident” in #19 and how people were upset with Shadow’s portrayal in the same issue, I gotten pretty upset with this myself, especially since I realized after reading comments online about this that it is a huge betrayal to the character development he had in SA2, Heroes, his own title game, and even 06. I just wish SEGA can look back at those games and see who the real Shadow the Hedgehog is, and it [hurts] my heart every time I think about it. I know I shouldn’t be asking for spoilers for future issues of the comic, but at the very least, answer my question with revealing too much: Will there be a scene in the eventual fallout/recovery arc of the Metal Virus Saga where Shadow gets called out for his arrogance and stupidity, again back in #19, and gets questioned for his current behavior[?]
Andrew D. After the events of Worlds Collide rebooted Sonic’s multiverse, I recall the idea of a multiverse getting scrapped due to issues with the real-world ownership of the Cosmic Interstate. Then we winded up getting some sort of multiverse with various Capcom and Sega franchises in Worlds Unite. Can you share or explain how the multiverse, or whatever it was, worked after the reboot? Did Blaze’s World exist in its own multiverse alongside the other franchises?
John B. I know I'm a little late on this but before I get to my question, congratulations on launching Drogune. I'm really enjoying it so far. In the back up story to Archie Sonic #281 Tails mentions he sees Bunnie as his big sister and overall seems very close to her. Does this mean that Tails was closer to Bunnie then the other Freedom Fighters that aren't Sonic in Volume 2 does he just consider all of them his siblings?
TheImagineBreaker 121212 I may be late on this matter (really late) but What’s a Franchise Like Sonic like where Everything In The Many series Is Canon? Brand Manager Aaron Webber made that official and considering his status quo with reaching out to Naka, Lizuka and Sega I’d take it as official via that and his position to do so (and that being his job), A partition where Two different things happen at once are Put in as Parallel Universes, like For example Sonic Boom Or? Mania Adventures and Mania Plus on steam confirmed, it truly sets the standards on how to organize this omnidirectional Canon, It would make sense things like Crisis City In Sonic Generations is some Parallel Universe (Multiverse?

PRIORITY Q&A Koopaling Krew Is there any video game genre you'd wish to someday see the Sonic series attempt to tackle (regardless of whether Sega or a 3rd party makes it)? For example, I think playing as Sonic and friends in a Dynasty Warriors style game mowing down Badniks would be AWESOME for the flair of the moves and how well Sonic's speed would be built for getting around the battlefield so quickly. Or...would you rather like to see Sega try to tackle a non-platforming genre again with Sonic (they've gone an RPG, a free-roaming racer, a fighting game, and metroidvania, and of course puyo puyo)?
TheImagineBreaker121212 Hello Ian (and Kyle), I think I and some fans need clarity since there seems to be dispute and confusion in which we misunderstand the Archie/Sega/IDW multiverses and it's relation to other multiverses, there's parallel universes, we got it, Archie And Sega are different multiverses and related through parallel universes but separate, which you've outed as "apples and oranges" So i've been thinking would Rockman, Riverdale, Image (All three have conversed with the archie sonic multiverse at some point) DC, Marvel and others be from different multiverses as well? like ultimate ensembles?, basically the system is sega are limited but wide, archie is expansive and elegant very similar but slightly off and others from the different "multiverses" have differing laws that exist where some are similar or radically different. Is this the closest to the "apples and oranges" analogy as an understanding? I like to think of it as like the marvel omniverse in it's size and qualities to not scramble and confuse my brain in a bunch with the different multiverses with entirely different dimensions like Mark Gruenwald. And is Boom, Games, IDW and Archie (Sonic-Verse) in different Parallel Universes set in different branches of different cardinals of separate Multiverse
Diane W. In Sonic X, Eggman learned that despite being an inhabitant of Sonic’s world, he was actually born on Earth, not to mention not having any memories of Earth, but we never learned how Eggman ended up in Sonic’s world to begin with. Do you have an idea of how Eggman ended up in Sonic’s world?
Andrew D. I remember a long time ago on the Bumbleking forums that there was a question about the Star Light Zone that appeared on the map in volume 1 of Archie Sonic. Someone asked something about it and I remember you mentioning that you had...

PRIORITY Q&A IanWaffles With the Archie Sonic comics no longer being officially distributed, along with Sega’s habit of distancing itself from older Sonic properties, what do you think would be lost from Sonic’s legacy, if anything at all, if we lost access to or forgot about the Archie Sonic comics? Would we be losing a certain amount of heart or creativity from the franchise or was the comic’s tone and direction something better abandoned?
Diane W. Hello Ian, I’m happy that you are still fighting to get the Freedom Fighters into the IDW comics and I’m glad you still like them. However, I heard that if the Freedom Fighters ever do appear in IDW, they’ll have to be redesigned for IDW due to the fact that the redesigns were made when the comics were being published by Archie and would be locked under their copyright claim. I don’t want them to be redesigned because personally, I liked the reboot designs for the Freedom Fighters, some fit them quite well, especially Sally’s. So, with this, will you please fight to gain legal rights to use the Archie reboot designs from Archie and use them for IDW? Please, because honestly, I cannot imagine Nicole as anything but a Holo-Lynx.
Andrew D. In regards to Sonic Genesis, was there a miscommunication for the battle in Final Zone between you and the artist? There was some sort of shield around Sonic that was apparently a bad thing, but it didn't seem to affect Sonic in any way. Rotor was also able to remove that shield by doing something outside the room. Am I right in assuming this was a miscommunication where you asked to have a shield around the room trapping Sonic and Eggman, but the artist accidentally interpreted it as a shield around Sonic? Regardless, what is the canon of this, and how was that shield harmful at all? Just what was the point of that shield?
EggmanInc what was the overall plan for the Tralius continent in general?

PATREON PRIORITY Q&A
EggmanInc In S.U. #88, it's stated that a "catastrophic event blasted Pancardina into a series of islands, with the Trolls (Walter Naugus' race) being all but wiped out overnight", What was this event, or what caused it?
IanWaffles What do you think was the appeal of the Sonic and Sally relationship? Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but it seemed like you changed their romance from an “opposites attract” dynamic to one where the two cared for each other so much that they could set aside their contrasting personalities and stop bickering. Was this intentional or am I missing the mark?
Koopaling Krew Without context or any continuity, what would happen if Marine and Sticks got stuck alone on an island, meeting for the first time?
Rael What are your personal thoughts on Eggman's backstory? What do you imagine his family life was like? Was he always evil, or did something cause him to turn? What was he up to before meeting Sonic?
Andrew D. In the latest issue, when Dr. Starline mentions the Warp Topaz altering reality, were the mushrooms and feathers in the flashback panel appearing as a result of reality altering, or were they already there? 2- Dr. Starline mentions that Eggman uses the Cacophonous Conch to control the Zeti, but in the games it was called the Cacophonic Conch. Are they two different names for the same item, was it purposely renamed, is it a different item, or what?
STANDARD Q&A
PC-The-Unicorn I really enjoyed the answer you gave about alternative What If Scenarios of Sonic the Hedgehog would you like to do as stories, and now I want to actually return to the thing I first referenced in the question, about Roll offering to fight the robot masters . Would it be a simple one-shot, or would you have liked for it it have been a miniseries? Would Roll have gone by Mega Woman or another name? In what ways would pivotal moments differ from the original such as when Roll would be fighting Proto Man before the events of Worlds Collide along with the showdown at Willy Castle to stop Wily from using Gamma?
ScruffyMatt About this time last year, we saw the preview for Smash Bros. Ultimate's World of Light, and spent days sobbing into our pillows as we helplessly watched Sonic valiantly trying to save Pikachu only for both of them to be vaporised. A lot of fan art and memes came out of this brief moment,
On this episode, Ian and Kyle share their thoughts on Death Stranding and the new Sonic 3 prototype before delving into characters who have a tough time choosing their morality. Also, be sure stick around after the credits for a short discussion about Pokemon Sword & Shield!

Andrew D. The solicit for issue 25 was recently revealed, and it seems like it still deals with the Metal Virus. I was under the assumption that every 12 issues is a separate season. Is 25 still part of season 2, or is the Metal Virus Saga taking up some of season 3 as well?
Koopaling Krew perhaps you can discuss your thoughts on tv or book series that were canceled or put on hiatus but saw the light of day again thanks in part to fans?
STANDARD Q&A JulezScar What kind of wolf would you say Whisper is? (Red, Gray, Eastern, etc.)
PC-The- Unicorn -So people have been making fan art between the two series for as long as I could remember and since now are both being published by the same company, I'm curious as to how you would approach making an officaly My little Pony Friendship is Magic and Sonic the Hedgehog crossover. Would the cast MLP be in Sonic world or vice versa? What specific character interactions between the two series would you want to write?
Matthew P. In the IDW Sonic comic's, It's been established that Sonic and his friends live on one world, while the humans live on another. If that's the case, how did Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic Unleashed play out? Did G.U.N., Professor Pickle, and Gerald Robotnik or any humans for that matter exist in Sonic's World or were the humans extinct when the game's occurred in the comic?
Liam B. -What, if anything, is the one rule you cannot break if you want to make a good piece of art or entertainment? It seems history’s great works are a list of pieces that broke the rules, but is there one that is absolutely unbreakable?
TyranoRex5 Is Sally Acorn gay or bi? She liked Sonic before the reboot, but it was implied she went for Nicole after the reboot. Did the wave change her?

PATREON PRIORITY Q&A
Andrew D.
Are there limitations to original characters and magical items that you can create? For example, are you allowed to make your own robotic Sonic, your own primordial being like Dark Gaia, or your own set of gems? As for the Warp Topaz, were there restrictions on what you could and couldn’t do with it?
EggmanInc
Did Ian ever have any plans involving the content from Sonic Colors? Was it ever brainstormed?
Ian Waffles
Ian, how do you keep yourself personally invested in the Sonic the Hedgehog series when it’s been your job for the past decade? I often take breaks from being into the Sonic series, or any series I like, and come back periodically. You haven’t had that luxury so I wondered how you could keep that balance of being a fan of the series, and working for the series. Thank you for your time.
BlueTidalGamer
My question for this episode involves the recent issue of IDW Sonic, Issue 22. A real soul-crusher of an issue, I loved it! So when the Monkey civilian revealed that he was infected and thus started the chaos, I wonder how he got in if Gemerl is the one scanning people for signs of infection? Is this something that might get addressed in the future, or shall it remain a mystery?
STANDARD Q&A
Bcrossfire
If the Mega Man comic had gotten all the way to the MM6 arc, do you think you would have expanded on the 1st Annual Robot Tournament? Like by adding a ton of new Robot Masters? Maybe covered the tournament battles proper in a miniseries?
Okami O.
Hiya, Ian! I had a question regarding my two favorite IDW original characters from the Sonic comics, Rough and Tumble. Do you think you may ever get around to exploring their backstory in the future? Answering questions like how Tumble's tail got detached, why did they become evil mercenaries by the time Forces occurred, and who exactly is the oldest of the two? And a possible miniseries starring them like with Tangle and Whisper? Thanks a bunch for your time!

PRIORITY Q&A Andrew D. Back in the old Archie Sonic days, we explored the multiverse and saw parodies of various media using the Sonic characters. If you were to make or see a spin-off comic based on one of these parody zones, which one would it be, and who would some of the characters be?
IanWaffles when reading old Archie Sonic I always saw Scourge the Hedgehog as the measuring stick to compare Sonics worst behaviors to, such as his ego and violence. Around the middle of the Mecha Sally arc Sonic has dragged Silver by the quills, attempted to guilt Knuckles into giving him his warp ring, and even threatened the Babylon Rouges by saying, “If I wasn’t the good guy, I would make stuffing out of you turkeys and make sure you couldn’t leave this pile of junk before it comes crashing down. If my friends aren’t ok, then you’d better hope you can run faster than me.” (Sonic Universe 37) All of this is to ask, when Sonic is in freedom HQ and recalls Scourge telling him, “all it would take is one bad day and you’d be just like me,” was this to imply that Sonic was convinced he was going to become just like Scourge? Or was this Sonic contemplating wether all these horrible things that had been happening to him, as well as his more recent spiteful behavior, could be leading to his “one bad day?”
ScruffyMatt I was wondering: do you have one particular game that you managed to finish, or an achievement you managed to complete that you could call your proudest gaming accomplishment? Something that you can look back on and proudly say, "Yeah. I did that"? For example, mine is the 7 Day Survivor achievement in the original Dead Rising. To achieve that one you have to last for 7 in-game days (14 hours in real time, not counting loading times) in infinite mode, where your health is constantly dropping, there are no save points, and the supplies are limited and don't respawn. It took me several tries to get that one, but it was incredibly satisfying for me when the achievement unlocked.
EggmanInc how did Eggboss Maw's power work? What was the plan for that?

Priority Q&A Andrew D. If either of you owned the rights to the Sonic franchise, what changes would you implement to the games, comics, shows, etc? Note: For the comic, I’m not asking for upcoming plans. This would be more like things out of your control such as the way characters are handled, ideas you aren’t allowed to use, extra books like Sonic Universe was for Archie, etc.
IanWaffles Ian, going back to your pre super genesis wave run on the Archie comics I noticed that the way you wrote Sonic seemed different from the way you’ve written him since. Sonic is much more aggressive, arrogant, and hot headed. He is much more likely to resort to violence like running across the continent to ram into Eggman and then laughing about it or threatening Eggman with a 5 minute head start. Of course Eggman is a villain, but it’s a very sharp contrast to his usual light hearted attitude in your later comics. Sonic was also egotistical in the case of the Tails and Fiona situation. He’s very often scowling or annoyed with friends and foes alike, and very often undermines authority and boasts about it. I wanted to know what was your reasoning for taking the character in this direction or was this never your intention in the first place? Either way I think it gave the character an nice level of depth to balance out his usual attitude, so thank you.
Scruffymatt Hey fellas, I hope you're having a good podcast. :) While recently watching our friend Syn streaming Sonic Adventure, I noted what a powerful and iconic moment it is when Sonic transforms into Super Sonic for the final boss fight. I think that it may just be the best Super Sonic transformation moment in any of the games - Sonic Adventure 2's transformation sequence is memorable, but for entirely different reasons. :P So I was wondering: what are some of your favourite memorable and iconic moments from the Sonic games?
Standard Q&A Michael B. -I know that it's highly unlikely that this would ever happen given Sega's somewhat strict guidelines. But I would love to see some interaction between humans and mobians that are not just sonic and co visiting the planet. Maybe their could be mobians that settled on the human planet?

SonicBlueRanger do you have any ideas for the IDW comic?
John T. is Aleah Baker still working for archie or is she working elsewhere? I ADORED her work on the sonic comic and want to see more ^^
SuchSavings Does Aleah Baker ever plan on writing for IDW Sonic? Her stuff on Archie was great! (some fans go so far as to say she's better than you are)
ScruffyMatt Hi Aleah! I was wondering if you had follow-up plans for the Spark of Life arc. Anything you can reveal to us about what you wanted to do with Nicole, Phage, Dr. Ellidy, etc?
NiTROACTiVE do you suppose you can now show us the new designs you created for Hershey the Cat and Saffron Bee you had prepared before the Archie Sonic reboot that you talked about on the Bumbleking Comics forums over 3 years ago?
Connall T what was the conception behind the making of the Egg Boss Abyss the Squid? A shame we never got to know more of her, but hoping to know more about how she came to be!
KA -Did you picture [the] Aquatic characters to have any unique abilities or quirks? -What are Clove’s Hobbies? -What did you keep in mind when designing characters?
PC The Unicorn Were you setting up a possible Blues/Quake Woman romance in the Archie Megaman comics?
HomuraTheBest What was the main inspiration for the Pronghorn Sisters? In your mind, [what] was the ideal ending for them? Also, this is a bit spoiler-y, but did they grow up as orphans or at the very least poor?
Sonic Legacy Where would Clove and Cassia's story have gone, had the Archie comics not been cancelled?
Markzilla Would Cassia and Clove eventually turn good?
Lee H. It would be nice if Aleah Baker got a "Special Thanks" credit in Sonic Mania Plus for Ray's new shoes.
