ALEAH BAKER Q&A

DigammaFWau

Does Aleah ever plan on writing for IDW sonic?

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.

PATREON PRIORITY Q&A

Scruffymatt

Howdy fellas, how's things?

Just a short and quick one this time, as I think it's time to settle this debate once and for all. So which is the correct pronunciation: Hy-dro City, or Hy-dross-ity?

Andrew D.

How is Mecha Sonic from Sonic 3 & Knuckles related to the robotic Sonics in this new reboot?
