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)?

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

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?

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...

Babylon Rogues would be in another dimension?

Diane W.

Wasn’t there going to be a story where you [elaborate] on Fiona’s reason to betray the Freedom Fighters and going back to a life of crime, as well as her backstory, and decision to go with Scourge with an in-depth look into their relationship and how they started dating? [Also,] How can ADAM be the one who activated the Metal Sonic Troopers when he was nowhere near them and had no way of knowing about them?

TylerreneeM

Hey, Is Solaris From The Games And The Solaris in the Comics The Same Character as in Solaris Harmed the Universes/Multiverses/Megaverses hence the Comics is Solaris Merely Told In a different light/format or are the two different versions entirely?

Andrew D.

What was it like writing Bean the Dynamite, Flying Frog, and Rosy the Rascal? Did you have a method for differentiating how they spoke and acted?

STANDARD Q&A

Scruffymatt

Happy new year, Bumblekast! I was wondering what were your favourite games, movies and tv shows of 2019?

SonicBlueRanger

Does the "Sonic can't lose" rule mean that he can't suffer a permanent loss but can go through hard times but come back from it?

LittenYoshiGrowlithe

Is there a small chance you could put Cosmo the Seedrian in your comics after the "Metal Virus" please?

What wouldn’t Shadow do for a Klondike Bar?

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?
